out Dave Tay here and I'm checking out
0:13
these These are the edifier atom Max
0:17
Hybrid Wireless A&C headphones and
0:20
they're really nice they have a really
0:22
nice elegant design and really great
0:25
sound that goes with it along with some
0:28
solid ANC but let's start with some
0:30
specs so 40 mm Dynamic titanium drivers
0:35
high-res audio if you use it in wired
0:38
mode hybrid ANC which can drop up to 44
0:42
DB out of your environment and AI
0:45
powered microphone I'm give you a demo
0:47
of that microphone in just a couple
0:49
seconds and 45 hours of play time on a
0:53
full charge if you don't have ANC on if
0:55
you do turn onc it drops I don't know
0:58
around 10 hours 15 hours off of that
1:01
because ANC requires a lot of processing
1:04
now me I'd rather have thec on and I'd
1:08
rather actually have to charge it a
1:10
little more often but you're still going
1:11
to get 26 to 30 hours of playback withc
1:16
on and super convenient 15 minutes of
1:20
charge gives you 8 hours of playback now
1:23
um let's do a quick tour of the right
1:26
hand ear cup just to double check yes so
1:29
that's where all the controls are and as
1:32
you can see there's that USBC port and
1:35
that's for charging and for using it in
1:38
wired mode then there's the Bluetooth
1:40
button and an interesting threep part
1:44
button so the center of that is the
1:46
multifunction which you push and hold to
1:49
turn on but then the top and bottom give
1:51
you volume up volume down next track and
1:54
previous track so it's kind of an
1:56
interesting design in that regard and
1:59
that's everything on the right hand
2:01
earpiece and on the left-and earpiece
2:04
nothing it does have nice easy to adjust
2:09
and they fold up pretty cozy so they're
2:12
easily portable it does not come with a
2:14
case you'll have to figure that out
2:16
yourself and it's a very soft probably a
2:20
memory foam I think is what they're
2:22
using here and the earpieces it's the
2:25
same thing they're really comfortable
2:28
I've Tred a lot of different head phones
2:30
and sometimes they're a little bit
2:32
clampy like they just you feel they're
2:34
really tight on your head these are not
2:36
these are really comfortable now back to
2:39
the specs Bluetooth 5.4 with with dual
2:42
connection that is one of the latest
2:44
versions of Bluetooth technically 6.0 is
2:47
the latest but companies are only just
2:50
starting to move to that and 5.4 still
2:53
gives you a rock solid connection to
2:55
your Source device and should give you
2:57
at least 30 to 40t range in terms of
3:00
being able to move around and not feel
3:02
like you have to sit right next to it
3:04
and where this gets fun is that edifier
3:07
also has that connects app so download
3:10
that app pair it with the headphones and
3:13
you've got a really cool way to control
3:15
some of the basic things including EQ
3:18
and a andc level in fact let me just
3:21
switch things around and I'll show you
3:22
just what that looks like you can see
3:24
the app icon on the lower right let's
3:27
tap it to launch and under unfortunately
3:30
I haven't figured out how to actually
3:31
have the color of the headphones in the
3:34
app match the actual color of the
3:36
headphones I own these are white it also
3:39
comes in black and as you can see the
3:41
app is all about the black so noise
3:44
cancellation you can go and change your
3:47
ANC level or just turn it off if you
3:50
prefer sound effects is what I would
3:53
call EQ but you can change it to for
3:57
example
3:58
Dynamic and sound modes give you the
4:01
ability to go between three different
4:03
primary modes which is really helpful
4:06
and that game mode is really worth
4:08
mentioning because it really reduces
4:10
that latency down to almost zero so if
4:13
you're using these with a gaming device
4:15
or with video and you notice that it's
4:18
just slightly off on sync then going
4:20
into game mode will fix that now
4:23
criticism they have spatial sound but
4:25
they're doing it with their own signal
4:27
processing so they're not decoding space
4:29
facial music and the result is that it
4:33
just sounds like you're listening in a
4:34
really big echoey Hall not a fan of this
4:38
version of their spatial sound but this
4:40
is software so this is something they
4:42
can easily update and just I'll get it
4:44
some point I'll get an update to the app
4:46
and suddenly spatial sound will be a lot
4:48
better so those are the primary three
4:51
functions and then I can also click on
4:53
the gear icon on the top right and that
4:56
gives me a little more ability to tweak
4:58
things so
5:00
I can change what happens when I push
5:02
the multi-function button which
5:04
interestingly they label as the
5:06
Bluetooth button so uh I can change what
5:10
happens when I push or double push on it
5:13
and there's a find my product that you
5:15
can you'll need to log in and set up an
5:17
account with edifier but if you lose
5:20
your headphones it would hopefully help
5:22
you recover them which would be helpful
5:24
prompt volume big fan of being able to
5:27
lower that down because you already have
5:29
these on your head so if it's going to
5:31
say something like Bluetooth connected
5:34
then you don't want that to be super
5:35
loud I really appreciate that I can
5:37
adjust that and not much else there's
5:41
bluetooth settings if you want to
5:42
disconnect but honestly I would just
5:44
power them off and that's pretty much
5:47
everything so let's go into
5:50
recorder there it is so now I'm going to
5:54
put these on and remember all the
5:56
buttons are on the right hand ear so I'm
5:58
going to do that
6:01
and
6:03
then what you're hearing now is my voice
6:06
as recorded by the edifier atam Max
6:10
Hybrid Wireless A&C headphones and as
6:13
you can hear it does a pretty darn good
6:15
job particularly given that the
6:16
microphones are way back sitting over my
6:19
ear so I think they got a lot of things
6:22
really dialed in here now let me switch
6:25
back to my regular mic I've given you
6:27
all the specs I've given you the demo of
6:30
their app and of the microphone so I'll
6:32
tell you in the box is the headphones
6:37
and a USB C to usba wire and this is a
6:42
nice long wire so it is also because you
6:45
can use these in wired mode which is how
6:48
you access that high-res audio comes
6:51
with a nice instruction guide you can
6:54
unfold and it is plenty big enough that
6:59
it is is a little daunting actually and
7:02
it's in probably a dozen different
7:03
languages and of course all the legal
7:06
warnings for example if you're listening
7:08
to it so loud that your eyes are shaking
7:11
or your nose is dripping you're probably
7:13
listening too loud so maybe turn that
7:15
volume down just a little bit which
7:17
brings us to the sound and I will tell
7:20
you they do get super loud this is a
7:23
Google pixel 8A and I'll tell you it has
7:26
plenty of oomph to drive these
7:28
headphones and make me have to like take
7:31
the headphones off if I'm turning the
7:32
volume up really high and the sound
7:35
reproduction is very impressive they do
7:37
a really nice job particularly if you
7:40
look at the price it's remarkable what
7:42
they've been able to deliver here
7:44
because they have a really good sound
7:47
there's a nice Sound Stage it's a very
7:50
clean music response so it's very
7:52
listenable there's not that harsh highs
7:56
and the base doesn't override everything
7:58
else so really nice again you can go
8:01
into the app and you can tweak things
8:03
with the EQ settings and stuff if you
8:05
have a preferred type of music you like
8:08
to listen to I'm not a fan of their
8:11
spatial sound but that's as I said
8:14
probably just a step on the way for them
8:17
with their app development but
8:19
everything else otherwise they're
8:21
comfortable they're smart looking let me
8:24
give you a couple more photos so you can
8:25
see the design and they have really nice
8:28
music repr uction and you can certainly
8:31
use them for a phone call or Zoom or
8:33
whatever else I would say if you're
8:35
going to be on a long call or something
8:38
I'd probably find something that is a
8:40
little less of a covering on your ears
8:43
but that's my personal preference I know
8:45
plenty of people will have something
8:46
like these and just be walking down the
8:48
street chatting with their friend or
8:50
something and these will definitely work
8:52
for that so they've gotten a lot right
8:55
here these are definitely a pair of
8:56
headphones worth checking out I am I'm
8:59
going to ask for you to subscribe to my
9:01

9:12
certainly hope you did excellent these
9:15
are the edifier atom Max Hybrid Wireless
9:20
ANC headphones they come in white or
9:23
black and they are
9:25
$49.99 currently minus 15% dropping them
9:29
down to a remarkable
9:32
4249 at
9:34
amazon.com now it may be just me since
9:37
I've been in this industry for so long
9:39
but the fact that I can get high quality
9:41
ANC headphones with really nice drivers
9:45
that have a nice look and are very
9:47
comfortable for under $45 kind of blows
9:50
my mind I remember when as soon as you
9:53
saw ANC that meant it was over $100
9:56
that's how all of this evolves and
9:58
they've really you know edifier I'm
10:00
already a fan of their speakers and I
10:03
think these headphones demonstrate the
10:04
company has some audio chops they really
10:07
can make some really good products it's
10:09
all I got hope to catch you in my next
