How Did This Tiny Gadget Raise $600,000?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июн 2018
- Knops are an adjustable earplug that raised over $600,000 USD on Kickstarter / Indiegogo. Now I've got to figure out why... especially with a price tag of close to $100 (depending on model).

It's definitely for hard of hearing folks. That's it
Glenn John RUclips HAS to implement picture comments 😂😂
The woman on the box looks like a hipster Scarlett Johansson.
LOL I know. Looks like her but she's not. Different nose and lips. She had this hairstyle before though :D
You don't even know what hipster is.
Oof
A mix of scarjo and Lady Gaga
What do you mean by a hipster?
Lew: is this all fun and games to you will?
Will: yeah
lol i love how Lew makes everyone who comes to the table uncomfortable😂

Lew: "Will just told me these were a $100... and that's rude."
Lmao.
What is the joke here?
some poor people have to use a deaf-aid to hear more and then there are healthy people using knops to hear less.
It's prevention, dude. So you don't need a deaf-aid in the future.
Like Rodrigo says, and Will in the show. Imagine wanting to enjoy some of the life of a concert without risking yourself. Normal earplugs would work too well and be a problem. That being said I can't imagine buying this product.
If you're like me who works as a music/concert photographer. If you just realize how huge and loud the speakers in the pit (very front of stage), there you will find out what is the use of such products.
i spend 3 - 4 hours making music soo this are quite usefull if i want to give rest to my eardrum for the rest of the day .....
And in that process protect our good ears.
“No radiation.” Designed to attract people who think Bluetooth and WiFi are cancerous. Maybe those same people are less likely to be wearing headphones.
You, I like you
like my mom
Thanos TM జ్ఞా Who are you talking to? Who would I be a “shill” for? Joke’s on you anyway: “Interference and discomfort” is just as LOL-worthy.
Thanos TM జ్ఞా ?
Random Savage saying that wireless EM from the likes of Bluetooth and WiFi causes “interference and discomfort” with the human body is demonstrably not true. Double-blind clinical and scientific testing has debunked every single case of this. The “condition” that some claim to have (EM sensitivity) is psychosomatic and just as ridiculous as the cancer claims. Saying that it isn’t ridiculous because users are concerned with EM causing “interference and discomfort” with the human body is just as laughable as saying that it causes cancer. Even if no cell phones and WiFi and Bluetooth and radio/TV existed you would still be bathed in about the same levels of background EM from space. It’s why old TVs showed static when they were on channels with no broadcast. You’d have to live inside a Faraday cage to avoid most of it, and that’s quite a big step for a condition that exists purely in people’s heads. Just to be clear: their pain may be real, but it’s still psychosomatic.
0:25 Wait backup we can turn peoples volume down ?
This product will make billions
jokes on you everything has radiation, every thing
Technically everything does have radiation
But most of its non-ionizing so there's nothing to worry about
LeVish hunted if everything has radiation then the earbuds would also have radiation
Juan Diego what’s your problem dude?
Even my farts?
It would be worth $100 if they added speakers so it doubles as earbuds.
Nate wu my thoughts exactly! Wireless earbuds and a companion app. Also sound amplification
Yeah but they have holes in the middle so I imagine you might be able to stick some cheap ear buds into them and they would work more like noise canceling headphones where you can't hear the world around you. Idk for sure but it'd be something cool to try
Clever! I agree!
Doppler labs here one. Wireless earbuds
Or you just buy sound canceling headphones
Being able to take 15 DB out of your daily hearing when you work in a loud place and still be able to hear what someone is saying to you can be priceless. You may film in a warehouse but you don’t actually work in a warehouse.
I agree $100 is pretty pricey. Maybe there something better on the market. I just don’t think that you use them in the right way to be able to show how effective they can be.
Morgan Olson you make a valid point sir
He said he thinks it's not a bad product, just a bad price. So he agrees with you.
You can buy earplugs at a grocery store for less than 5 bucks and they block out between 28-33db
The silly thing is he didn't do any damn research on this. They aren't $100. They're $69 or $89. The two models have exactly the same functionality, but the pricier ones just have knurling on the dial.
Grocery store earplugs can't change the volume to when you need to hear someone speak, and they muddles the sound. Learn about sound curves. Cheap earphones takes away the highs, that's why som many people hate using them at concerts. The Knops are supposed to have a flat curve and the sound will be mostly the same, just lower. The difference is night and day. It's almost an entirely different product.
Interesting. As an orchestral brass musician I have custom molded earplugs with interchangeable filters that filter out different levels of dBs. Those ran me $150, but then again those are molded to my ear for a perfect fit. The world of high end earplugs is quite pricey, but there are certainly uses for them.
For me, these are priceless. I can't concentrate to read if there's people talking near me, or things are too loud.
Being able to choose my level of noise reduction without having to take them out is awesome.
Perfect for drowning out annoying noises, like if I was working with you and you were talking. :)
Hilly Ho on the verge of losing his job. 😁

First he's trying to muffle Lew's voice now he's trying to cut his hearing.... what's the deal hillyhou?? What's next a straight jacket??
Audio control for the real world? You mean a hearing aid?
Edit: Since some people are so stupid and busy to actually watch the video instead of randomly commenting, listen up: I made no comment on the product. Did you hear Lew say Audio control for the real world? That's what I was commenting on. Maybe use some common sense, think things through before replying.
Aditya Upadhye for real lmao
The opposite of hearing aid. Hearing hindrance.

This product wants to help you shut out sound, and you equate that to a product that helps people hear sound more efficiently?
Did you even think before typing this comment?
Bose has some headphones like those, but they actually work
+unbox therapy one of my favorite tech/product reviewers! LOOOOVE the comical approach! this is one of my favorite reviews to date (and the unspillable mug!)
Sounds like hearing aids for people that have good hearing.
Prodigy Holy shit, you can get hearing AIDS?

Jurijus Gaubys I'm not exactly sure, but I feel like he purposely did that. Just a guess

everything emits a small dose of radiation
Yandog1 nuh uh
Yoni Edery ya-uh. Everything that uses electricity creates a magnetic field. Even humans are cancerous.
Your mom emits radiation
But apparently these don't
Guys. Even bananas are little radioactive. It has nothing to do with electricity.
Hilly Ho was the best part! He never fails to make me laugh xD
These would be incredible for people with sensory issues, who maybe music is too stimulating. These are very cool! Thanks for reviewing man!

Imagine how they look with stretched ears and plugs that look the same.
Jessentis was thinking exactly the same...
double trouble
i love how he goes to the final settings and his speech is so much different
These are actually FABULOUS! It's great to be able to adjust the volume without having to take out your earplugs to hear all the time! I LOVE THEM!! Well worth the price and they are on sale for 1/3 off until the end of October.
Hi, i wanna buy knops but I just want to make sure if they are worth it, can you confirm they have been useful to you?
I work construction and I kinda feel like these would be nice for the jobsite. Having hearing protection when I need it but being able to change the volume and listen to conversations when I need to talk to someone would be great. Much better than taking headphones on and off throughout the day.
Noconz0727 MC he didnt say they were bad he just said that they were overpriced.
I didn't say they were bad either
Let us test a jackhammer then let us talk about it without removing that bud...
That was my thing too, glad some else sees a real life application to the device. Does it control volume or does it allow certain noises thru while cancelling out the louder ones? I'm perplexed because I thought it was the ladder one
Hey man where is that diamond play button
in the army here in finland we use these active earplugs that can make you hear speach over gunfire. maybe implement that onto the headsets/earplugs to get a good view around you.
thanks man

Great video with easy-to-understand explanations. As always, I appreciate it.
Nice videos bruh! Plus you guys job is the best. I'd love to wake up to techy gifts everyday.
"Does it make you crazy?"
He's already there, Will. 😂
He started to do asmr since he wore those earphones
Authentic mann......your videos are never boring.
Thanks for honesty and great critique. Thats why I watch!
"i think i got a big canal, boys" LMFAO
"That's Will." 😁
Damn, I was really expecting something else but man Lou...you really came with the honesty. Damn. I appreciate you.
Easy concept but an amazing innovative idea..... Nailed it!!!
It's for music conductors, maybe construction workers, concerts so you can Cleary hear the audio without going deaf, normal earmuffs just muffle the sound
TheNoseyProductions For that price? nope.
Hans Bun go deaf or pay 100 bucks...
I'd rather be deaf
Hans Bun deaf, and paying for ear peices and battery's every so often
TheNoseyProductions or rather buy earplugs that costs $5 ?
A 100$ reverse hearing aid. NICE
This dude is maddd chill.
We love you man...tnx for respecting your fans
“I think I have a big canal, boys” that’s what she said! Hahahahaha!
Hahahahaha!
...
A canal is a void, so he has a big void???
If these could also function as hearing aids and earbuds, take my money. But they only do one thing, turn the volume down. That's not worth $100. That's not worth $50. I'd pay max $20 for these and they better be the same quality that was shown here in the video.
I want hearing aids and hiv too
They have made these for ages look up hunting goods :) 20-25NRR with a compressor you can set for loud noise to kick in in .02 seconds and amplification for quiet all less then 100$ this product is a rip off for the price.
Probably because you don't value your ears that much... They are my main tool & work asset and $100 does not seem a lot to protect them while still being able to ear clearly what I play. Plus being able to switch them off is really convenient in-between songs... But yeah $100 could be a bit too much, but not crazy too much. And btw, most $20 music plugs suck anyway, even though I've tried a lot of them ;)
still 100$ for 20NRR is to much in my books. I agree the 20$ ones are junk but you can get alot better noise reduction for 100$(US) for in ear that have a compressor built in for the reduction but bring everything else up to a set level automatically.
Great idea for everyday 👂 care. Make them look way fancier.
See if you guys can get your hands on the new tic pods! Reason I have a ticwatch is because of you guys and it's on point!
technically it has radiation, it radiates sound waves
Ummmm actuallllly, those are *pressure waves* you freakin STUPID SILLY DUMB DUMB
Vibration of particles isn't radiation.
His name is Adam Nope 😂
it is when the vibration pattern, or pressure waves as the boy genius pointed out, propagates through the particles
I mean, it *radiates* from a point and transfers energy but I don't think it counts as radiation. But then again it could just be because when people say radiation they usually mean electromagnetic radiation.
Lew, most electronics have a type of radiation. Im surprised how you reacted when the box said no radiation.
Rip Curl 69 its like he thought it was obvious those didn’t radiate.
theyre plastic, theres no electronics in it.
This has as much electronics as his hat.
These would be great for something like edc or any other big concert/rave/festival so you can go from the main stage front to the side by the burrito cart and keep it at relatively the same volume. Maybe not 100 dollars but its definitely a sick product
I love watching this guy. He makes things interesting. How much is this Will? Nooooo. LOL
*HILLY HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUE*
David hunsinger HIMMA HAAAAAAAAAAAAA
0:45 That face 🤣
Good stuff bud. We appreciate ya
I can see the applications for this for people that are around loud noise a lot:
people who work in concert production or concert photography; people who work with marching bands or drum corps (those guys can get really loud!); people who commute by bus or train and want to read or get work done; frequent flyers.
Come on! Don't be that harsh with Will! He's doing his best!
It raised $600,000 ;-;
He's so sensible when he's pissed...after, he calms down
*Thanks for the honest review!*

"I did it for the rock, i did it for the people"🚶
5:00 I like how they have a camera on their camera.
I go to really loud concerts 3-4 times a month and generally try to buy earplugs with that have even attention across all frequencies. Eargasm earplugs do that perfectly, but if you drop and lose one of them because you're trying to hear your friend, you may just decide to buy another pair of $30 ear plugs the next week to get that same quality. These address that specific problem. I don't have to take them out and I can turn them down to specific settings at concerts. That variability is also really attractive since you might walk to particularly loud or fairly sort areas in a single concert. I bought a pair and I think it was $60 as an early bird purchase. They still haven't arrived though, haha.
Hey man, did they arrive?
you can basically buy and over the ear version for 20$ at a sporting goods store. i have some i use for shooting. they pick up voices but drown out gunfire they are also adjustable and can drown out just about everything and still pick up voices.
Lew became real serious......

Some places don’t allow headphones at work so like this would be dope especially for call center or open office employees who need focus to work
For everyone saying this is stupid, or that it's ironic because there are people who need hearing aids: I have misophonia, I have fight or flight reactions to repetitive noise, chewing/eating noise, loud noise, nasal noise... the list goes on. It makes being social VERY DIFFICULT. If you're near civilization, you are being bombarded by noise pollution 100% of the time. Sometimes I just need to cut out higher decibels, but still need to hear what people are saying, sometimes everyone gets loud and I need most of the sound cut out. I can tell you that yes, normal sound canceling ear plugs also work to block most sound, but try to imagine talking to someone, and they suddenly put in earplugs while you're talking to them. It's really embarrassing, especially when they are unaware of the condition, and even when they are aware, people end up feeling bad. This is a discreet way for me to control the audio stimulus around me, with out it being all or nothing, without it being headphones (because listening to something on headphones IS a way of coping, but it's not my first choice, usually I'm craving silence, not louder sound). It is pricy, but I have yet to find anything similar that I can keep in and not have to use power for it. I hope this gives perspective into why it is a popular item, this is something new and is fulfilling a need for quality of life previously unmet.
i was thinking the same thing! i have misophonia too!
@@charbrock6005 Sucks, don't it?
you could buy noise cancelling earphone?
That really sucks, still this item is way overpriced though as far as I can tell!
I'm joking don't get triggered .
*100 freaking bucks!! Refundable??*
Good ol' Unbox Therapy gadget video. Nice
For people with tinnitus I could imagine these are awesome.
My friend has to wear earplugs all the time but he wishes he could adjust the volume accordingly.
You can't tune out tinnitus I have it I can plug my ears with cotton, ear plugs but in the end all you hear is the ringing....
3:31-playing games
Well on one side 100$ you can just get an earbud thing that has noise canceling in it and play music.
But on the other side this doesn't use battery and you can wear it 8h a day no problem.
But still you could charge the damn thing between breaks like lunch...(plug into pc/charging case or sth)
Different use cases calls for different devices.
What's your opinion on this? Just reply, I really want to know what other people think.
Edit:i know different people have different opinions and viewpoint so no need to get frustrated and salty...
Yeah, just get a pair of noise-cancelling earbuds and your done.
I was surprised to find that they were entirely mechanical devices tbh. For $100, just get a pair of noise cancelling earbuds.
They have cheaper versions of this like he said, on Amazon, that are great for concerts so you don't go deaf or develope tinnitus.
My opinion is this: You guys have no idea what these earphones are for. Let say you are at a concert, you have them on max. Then you walk away and start talking to someone. Instead of taking the earplugs out and expose yourself to the full force of the audio which is incredibly dangerous since your ears wont be prepared for the blast, you simply raise the volume a little bit without damaging your ears.
For me with very sensitive ears, this device will be a lifechanger. If I am out in traffic with lots of car noises, instead of taking a long time to put in better earplugs, all I need is to turn a dial.
To be fair, doesn't really seem like they understood it fully from the video either. You can't compare these to 2dollar earphones. That's like comparing a standard phone to a smartphone. The sound on these will be incredible and lifelike wile most normal headphones muddles the sound and creates a very strange sound curve.
I haven't received mine yet, I truly hope they work as intented.
Squarely did you just completely ignore what I said and elaborate on said subject??? How dare you sir/madam!
the studio ghibli music in the background😌😌😌
Hitting the box away = instant like for the video LOL
It's better to buy a 100$ headphones with ANC 😎😎
lol....in previous vid,u showed a product which makes u quiet to other people's ear
now this is just the opposite 😂
have them both and u wont be able to hear yourself
This is a cool idea for the shooting range.
I'd be curious to how well you can hear very loud music. Does it allow you hear all of the frequency spectrum, or at least more so than regular foam earplugs?

I could see the value in environments where you need to be able to hear certain things like, beeping machinery or failure sounds. Those environments tend to be fairly loud on average and could be overwhelming without regulation.
You're quite right Lew! Your way is a very nice way to say they're useless. :))
4:11 why does he sound like he isn't a native english speaker? lol
Probably because he has that shit in his ears and when you have anything that changes your hearing +/- it makes you feel weird and slightly changes your speech based on how little you can hear the noises around you
@@diegoortiz8102 Damn, you real big brain
1:21 actually everything has radiation
Just a fact
He's talking about ionizing radiation with more frequency than visible radiation
Seems like a good product for musicians or people working in a loud enviroment.
this seems really good for the music industry especially if you work on a stage
He sounds different when he uses the Last setting, he doesnt end its Word with the same tone
Angel Pimienta He sounded mad Canadian. Lol
I was hoping that there was a more thorough review, I travel a lot and am frustrated with background noise in places like airports and on the bus which distract me from my reading or sometimes even genuinely ruin the immersion and imagination. I also work in a busy office and feel like these would help a lot but the price is pretty high. But if it would make working, reading, and sketching easier by removing distractions I would totally buy them. Any advice @unboxtheraby? Thanks in advance
Decent pair ANC headphones, cost $100 and you've the added benefit of being able to play music
Brendan Turner
Good earplugs can run a couple hundred dollars. If these are anywhere comparable, it could be a good deal, especially with the adjustable blocking. Would be interested in a real review though.
@@andrewburban9276 usually if you've a "premium" budget, you can get great ANC earphones with tons of reviews. I'm currently rocking B&O H9is, though most people are better going for Sony mxdr what ever the rest of the name is. From what I've heard they're amazing
Spoken like a good honest Canadian!!!
I can't even afford any of the products that you unbox, but i love watching your VLOGS. Sml❤
