Air purifiers are meant to remove pollutants in the air that cause allergic reactions, that's why it will still smell almost as strongly as normal, if not the same or even stronger, because it isn't meant to remove smells, just the pollutants.
You'd need a good charcoal filter in it.
@@amazincrackmonkey7176no just by a ozone machine it’s remove smells but you can’t be in the room because you can die
smell particles are also a lot smaller than the pollutants they are trying to block.
His nose is completely unobstructed by the purifier so regardless of particle size he's going to smell it
The problem with android tablets is that there are a lot of them that are just awful but they are cheap and you figure if you're just going to watch RUclips on it then it should be ok, but when they can't even do RUclips out of the box with the version of android they shipped with then it wasn't worth the money you spent on it regardless of how cheap it was.
Nobody asked
@@BLAFF420I did. I asked.
unless its a big brand like samsung your better off buying a 2 or 3 year old refurbished ipad its gonna be a way better experience. even the ipad 6 is pretty useable still if you just want to consume content write documents and take notes with the apple pencil
With most products you get the most value-per-dollar around the middle of the bell curve, products at the far left will net you a piece of crap; products at the far right are heavily affected by the laws of diminishing returns. Either extremes are not a good idea if value is important.
the Aldocube T804 is like 130 bucks and is incredible. Hilariously, it is 4g capable and has native phone and SMS apps - so it can actually serve as your phone. I had an extra sim and though it would just say no, but it texted and called like it was a normal phone... just an 8.4 inch one.
I have the link buds and use them all the time. They are great for listening to music at work as they do not interfere with ambient sound and are light enough to leave in even when not actively using them. The sound is natural and open. If they fit in your ears, they are awesome. I use the 1000mx4 for immersion and noise cancelling, the linkbuds for when I need to be aware of my surroundings.
I also used them a lot for phone calls, I love them
Linkbuds were great when I worked where I needed to just always be hearing what's around me. Sadly the battery is shot on one. Going to get another pair though. And yes for proper immersion I use something else. And edit. Yes I'd leave them in all the time even if not listening to anything.
Agreed. They are for specific cases. When you want to hear your surroundings. When you can't wear a standard IEM. I liked mine for use at work where I need to be able to hear my surroundings and for phone calls. And they can be paired to my phone and my work PC, at the same time.
I always go for Shokz for that same reason, have music while you are at work and not ignore the world.
I do hate it that reviews mark them down for "noise cancellation" in their total score.
I use them constantly because sealed ear buds drive me nuts because they make me here my internal body sounds. Plus as a parent, it allows me to listen to my audio books or music while doing house work and still be able to hear my kids and wife if I'm needed. Once you do the ear profiling, the sound becomes way better. I absolutely love them and are the best wireless open-ear ear buds around. Especially since wireless open-ear ear buds are impossible to find outside of the apple ecosystem.
I have the Link Buds! They are good for hiking safety. When coyotes, Javelina, rattlesnakes and random strange people on trails in the middle of nowhere are a concern, then it’s important to be able to hear your surroundings. This allows the option of both. They definitely aren’t perfect though. 👍
The Dyson headphones were on WOOT recently for 2 or 3 hundred bucks. Austin you should do mystery tech from WOOT.
I got the linkbuds after you guys reviewed them about a year or so ago. I was looking for some headphones for phonecalls and podcast while biking and they sounded like a safer choice when out in traffick. I pretty much agree with everything you say about them here, but for podcasts and audiobooks theyre perfectly fine. Call quality is fine aswell unless its windy. I will still say theyre worth it if you bike and value safety over sound quality though. 7:55
Joy is a refurbisher that used to work almost exclusively with tiger direct. They ran afoul of Microsoft licensing issues, and after fixing that started branching out. This information is ten years old. I lost track of them a long time ago.
Did anyone else catch that piece of glitter stuck to buddys eyelid in the Ad segment at 3:24? Lmao
I do love to see all of the Austin review all of these pretty questionable tech items but I would really love it if they did like the worst they found as well as what they might recommend that has the same "features" that actually do what they're claiming to as well as maybe where they found the best prices.
on the topic of optiplexes, due to my work (e-waste) there are a lot of companies who buy the salvaged desktops(that arent completely ancient) from us and end up skinning them. part of the reason is competers that get returned from some big business, government or school organizations often put a lot of stickers on them, and sticker removal and age really does damage to the case, so the sane choice to make them look "new" is to put a skin on them essentially.
Certainly beats the work hours that goes into prepping for paint and even then you'd still see scratches in the paintwork. Also if there is any grain in the metal and you have to sand it, you will end up with flat looking spots.
@@MrMega200 trust me when i say this, the paint may be worth more than what theyre paying for the desktops in bulk of they did.
I bought that exact camera for a trip I was going on. (Some church camp) it was horrible fps. Not only that but when I got home I put it up and when I went to go check it the screen was broken. It was never dropped or anything. I then broke it the rest of the way out of anger
As someone who likes to use their earphones at work to drown out potential harsh noises, but still need to listen to the outside world (I'm a service engineer), those linkbuds would actually suit me.
Yeah, the polaroid tablet I bought a long ass time ago was terrible too. I didn't have high hopes for that cam.
Those Dyson headphones make it look like you are wearing a prop from a Star Wars movie. One of the aliens in one of the movies was wearing something similar.
10:29 was nuts 😂
The linkbuds are perfect if you are biking or running so that you can here trafic.
Those Link Buds are great for specific uses. Like jogging or bicycle riding, so you can still hear traffic and people around you. Not so great for a bus or airplane. I've got something similar specifically for when I'm riding my bicycle, but I think they are around $15, makes the music quality much easier to deal with! Great for poscasts though, where sound quality isn't so important.
In the words of Jeremy Clarkson
"Work harder, buy a car"
I have them as well and love them. In ear earbuds bother me way too much and headphones are too bulky. They work great for me.
@@paulcarmi8130in the words of normal people, “shut up”
@@paulcarmi8130 I am the only one who thinks plugging your ear when riding a bicycle is a really stupid idea?
@gentle285 I mean, owning a bicycle in a society where we drive 2 ton vehicles is stupid full stop, but yes I agree with your point.
9:55 really got me sitting up straight.. I took offence when Austin said who sits like this?? 🤣🤣
One thing that I found out with most cheap tablets is that it does have an SD card slot. But is useless. Because you can't move apps from the internal storage. Because they are using a modified version of Android operating system and that was removed from the OS. It is the same with cheaper smart phones also.
The Z Flip 3 aside from wearing-prone hinge and kinda hot Snapdragon 888 is still having some value especially as a nice sidekick phone. And it can still be updated to Android 14 and 15 later in the future, and fwiw the later revisions of Android is actually will be very oldspec friendly
I actually really like my linkbuds lol but I totally understand the rating for your review. Like everyone is saying, it’s great for outdoor activities when needing to hear your surroundings is preferable.
If you're on an ultra-budget you can throw a Xeon 1230 into those Optiplexes and get i7 speeds, just no integrated graphics, bang a GTX1050 in there and wa-hey you've got a midrange, can-handle-2016-and-back AAA games at 1080p gaming rig for around $120 if not less.
I wanted to like the Linkbuds but they didn't fit. Got a set of the Oladance Open Ear things and they are perfect for what I needed. I wanted something I could wear out on a walk in the city. Passthrough modes on other earbuds just weren't cutting it. I only really listen to podcasts so audio quality for music isn't a big deal.
Those tablets are e-waste from the factory. Sucks when the build quality and features aren't awful but are so slow its impossible to use the device. I'd love to see Best Buy just not sell them as a push for manufacturers to not make them.
Austin reviewed the same Sony link buds on a mystery tech and gave them a great 🎉🎉🎉
you know that dyson headphone was made during covid but came out too late and marketing had to adapt now that it’s over
If Mryeester was there he would definitely keep the Dyson headphones on for all his videos 😂
I own the Sony Linkbuds and I love them! I drive a bus and need to make phone calls/listen to podcasts while driving and they are perfect because I can hear my audio and my surroundings! They are light and comfortable with decent sound quality. I do prefer my air pods pro sound quality but I can't wear them while driving without losing the safety. Definitely have a neish market of people but 100% worth it for those people! 😊 Plus I paid $55 for them in the target clearance section!
The Dyson headphones remind me of Saw with the reverse bear trap!
the link buds serve a purpose. I wouldn't want them as my only set, but when you are jogging,biking, working near a road or in an office setting they allow you to wear SOMETHING vs nothing. You really can't compare them to other earbuds on sound quality alone.
love ur vidssssss keep going
I am in the Caribbean and I had the unfortunate experience of purchasing a Hyundai tablet. Returned it in less than 24hrs. I will never buy any device with a Unisoc SOC.
I got a pair of linkbuds last year and use them all the time to and from work
I luckily got the sony linkbuds for free thru work.
They are not worth $130+ but they are nice when you dont want a silicone plug in your ear hole 😂
They actually fit me pretty well.
Wow never tried that. I have a glass desk so I tried my Logitech mouse on it and sure enough, my mouse tracks perfectly. If it wasn't for the wrist rest on my mouse pad I'd do away with my mouse pad and just use my desk as it's pretty cool for people to ask me how my mouse works without a pad on glass.
Austin This is very good when you uploud 2-3 days thats very goooooooooooddd
Just started on my Xmas tree merry Christmas everyone
I used to have that PC and it used to run the elder scrolls four oblivion fucking phenomenally.
The link buds are awesome for office spaces.
I had a digiland tablet from Best buy that I think cost me like $70. It was horribly slow and couldn't do much besides what I bought it for, to stream media. Although I had to use a Bluetooth speaker with it (already owned) as the built in speakers were terrible and it used micro USB to charge which was kind of annoying as every other charger I use is type-c. But for $70 and I got 2-3 years out of so totally worth it for me and it's still going as a media player for my 3 year old niece. Cheap tablets are not good, but if they fit a extremely basic need then they are totally worth it.
For that price, I'd give that to someone who reads a lot of books and just put ebooks in that thing.
Cheaper alternative for a kindle that you can put pirated books on.
I got the Samsung 6 lite tablet this black Friday. It was very cheap and wasn't bad at playing RUclips at all.
Need to buy a case that acts as a stand before it's great but it's not a waste of money for sure.
That wasn't the S6 Lite though
I have a cheap glass mouse pad from amazon. The surface has a honeycomb pattern etched into it and it's been great. Smooth glass would be terrible though.
I used to play on a glass table, my mouse simply had a laser sensor, rather than an optical sensor.
Light sensors (optical sensors) reflect off the surface to track. When you use glass the reflection is distorted causing no tracking.
A laser works regardless
The scuff pillow is more made for controller gaming rather than mobile o think. I can't promise that cuz I've never seen that specific item before but I just saw an item like that yesterday that was made for laying back a bit and letting ur arms rest while using a controller lol
I call bull on the Dyson sound quality.
Without the purifier they sound pretty damn good
$550 for a zflip 3 is just insane especially considering the burned in screen...i purchased a used (mint condition minus sticker adhesive on the back glass that was easily removed lol) zflip 3 in the weird teal color quite literally four days ago for $240 Canadian LMAO😂
Do you have anything on the backbone controllers??
The Sony Linkbuds are good for people who want listen to music while riding a bicycle. You can listen to your music and hear the traffic around you at the same time.
Hey question so I optimize my pc and I feel like my fps is worse than before should I reset the settings or play on my Xbox series x
That Polaroid action came with a cream rate actually looks better in the picture does underwater
Ummm sounds like defaults need to be adjusted for the Hyundai tablet timers for things too , should be fine did dual core Mali 200 to Quad core Mali 450 should be perfect for all android os versions
That Polaroid camera was Gold!
That youtube burn in on the z flip 3 is crazy. How much youtube did they watch to get that and even weirder is that they seemed to only watch youtube in portrait mode, who does that!?
okay the dry erase bit was solid
The blow up pillow is just like a boppie!
“who sits in a chair like this?”
*i slowly sit back* … YEA WHO EVEN SITS LIKE THAT?
You wouldnt recommend the link buds to anyone? I've only used openback headphones for the last decade, these sound perfect for me... Alas, I doubt they'll fit.
Theyre out there selling a 3020 with a 4th gen intel based system. Wonder if theyre letting people know the system is 10 years old.
The link buds are hands down my favorite earbuds. They're absolutely unmatched for ambient music, especially at low volume, which is 90% of my music listening experience. I have a second set of headphones for the other 10% when I want to detach. I think they're misunderstood, which is a shame because we'll probably never get an updated version. I'll have to keep mine forever.
that glass mousepad looks terrible, it needs a super minimal texture or something for that to really work as well as not being fully clear. glass pads are actually really good for gaming imo if you get one from a brand that does them properly, like skypad or pulsar.
Those 3020 Dells are getting too slow for web browsing right now on Windows, let alone gaming. Workplaces are tossing them to salvagers and these "refurbishers" buy them for nothing.
Astin Evans, the Dyson discount Antman.. :D
Love your vids
Good stuff. But why Hyundai tab?
You can use mouseball mice for the glass... because everyone has one of those still! lol
what is up with digital cameras / web cams / cheap phones and saying they are 4k when they look like 720p at 30fps? Are they just upscaling the shitty quality footage to 4K or does it actually have something to do with the sensor? Like is it possible to have a 4k sensor that looks THAT bad?
My ears start hurting very fast on normal in-ear headphones. Linkbuds never hurt, they feel comfy. Sound is obviously worse than a sealed one, but it does what its supposed to do. If I wanna hear better quality music i can do that with another headphones.
The Link Buds are definitely a middle of the road product, you're going to either like them or hate them. I have a pair myself and love them because they're perfect for the space in which I use them: an office where I need to be able to hear my phone, codes over the loudspeaker and my co-workers. They're also great when I go out shopping at the store and the mall for the same reason.
I think this was Sony's original intention for the design, people that commute on a train or work in an office and need to hear what is going on around them. I would never trade them for something like the other Sony LinkBuds, Samsung Galaxy Buds or Apple Airpods because their "transparency" modes kind of suck. A small microphone piping in sound from the outside world to your ear will never replace your true ability to hear unless you have eardrum damage.
As a user of Both Linkbuds, I completely subscribe to this opinion. There are times and places, where no other option makes sense for me. Those places are the office and going for groceries, Jogging or biking, where complete isolation is more a hindrance than a feature. As a main pair of earbuds, of course, they suck, but as a secondary pair, for special uses, they are top tier. Obviously a Niche product, and should be trated as such.
I wonder if the tablet was actually built for use in their cars with a stripped down software designed for car radio and general car features. That would explain why the hardware can't handle bog standard android.
I bought an AMD Radeon RX 6700 from Best buy once, not a bad budget card at all, it could play rdr2 at Ultra settings no problem
Which brand of speakers did Dyson use in their headphones?
moving that face "mask" looks super satisfying
I paid $250 for that desktop around 4 years ago....my god it's so slow 😂 But it works.
Nobody
Grandma: give that to my grandchildren for Christmas
Hey be nice , I finished the Ryzen 1st 2nd and 3rd from bestbuy personally as in walk-in the freakin store I want this this and this , take it home and break the gnome to repair it AGaiN…
7:35 looks like a free headgear you get in an online game for 14 days
You could literally get a minisforum or another kind of NUC sized PC that would beat the optiplex in gaming or ANYTHING else for the same price. That price for an old PC like that is getting robbed.
I bought
I7 4770
Sapphire Rx 580 8gb
8gb ram
120gb ssd
500gb hdd
550 watts
At a cost of 250 dollars
Although they were used but its worth it right?
Austin Evans is a my Best Buy plus member confirmed
That's a chopping board. 🤣
Damn. I got a Z Flip 3 for $200 last year from Best Buy. Brand new.
lol that Polaroid camera is like the mixer that my parents bought off of Amazon literally not as advertised.
In the advertisement for the mixer, it says it holds up to 12 cups but in reality when you have it in your hand, it says holds up to 8 cups on it but it’s advertised for 12 cups lol.
Now I put my detective deep thinking hat on just like Austin and I zoomed into the picture of the container for the mixer and it says 8 cups, but then in the description it advertises as 12 cups.
Oh lord somebody help me because my brain is going into overtime with how dumb this is and this product is reviewed around a 4.5 star rating and it feels cheap as hell
Dyson vacuum cleaners have always known to be expensive so it doesn’t surprise me that if they came out with headphones, they would be over minimum $300.
i use the pillow when i game on my xbox. its comfortable to use
finally the dyson headphones
So harsh on the link buds! For the right user they're game changing!
I had some of the LinkBuds and the loop that sticks out comes with multiple adjustable sizes. That said, I returned mine to Costco because they got a rattle in the speaker after just a couple months. I read that’s a pretty common phenomenon and they might’ve just needed cleaning, but I don’t have waxy ears and that’s a terrible design flaw regardless.
Microsoft ARC mouse works on clear glass and it's not that expensive of a mouse. You just need a mouse with a blue laser.
Oh I remember that Dyson headphone thing. It makes you look like you're a marvel character. Marques reviewed them around the time that Canada nearly killed us with their wildfires. Lol
By the way I love the fact that you use a razor iskur gaming chair. I'm planning on reviewing that chair.
More like Soldier 76 from Overwatch.
They are essentially open backs 9:03
Best buy did a DK Oldies on the Octiplex 😂
Where is part two of the Goodwill tech??
I built my dell 3020 slim. I have no issues gaming at all
You can at lease be comfortable in the knowledge that those headphones from Dyson are at least well built but not worth the money they cost
Austin needs to do the worst reviewed products at microcenter
i just wanna know wherer the christmas tree at austin
19:41 Austin: Do you see that line?
Me: No?
Austin: Can you see that line right there?
Me: WTF you talking about? It's just white to me.
9:20 amazing if you have problems with your vision! They can be used with a screen reader and OCR while still being able to normally interact with everyone
With the dyson thing I feel like we should challenge Austin to Mortal Kombat.
The free samsung tabs from cellular companies are very slow too
The issue is the sensor. 16:34
One man's worst tech is another man's treasure.
