Nice touch where the line “It’s so outta sync” was completely out of sync
I thought it was my headphone acting up.. good one
Except the video was delayed and not the audio, which is the opposite problem Bluetooth has
Was predictable, but funny
I sure fell for it

*Riley took his glasses off so you know hes serious.*
But he didn't took down his moustache, I can't take him seriously
he doesnt want them to get damaged during his rant
@@thelegendaryklobb2879 its just a shit on his lip
i like when riley reid takes her glassess off
Literally never noticed he took them off ngl
It's continuously blown me away how shit bluetooth is even after all these years.
Ikr! Seems like something that should have been figured out before the turn of the 21st century
I never use bluetooth if I can help it. Wired connections will always be superior in my mind.
Bluetooth frustrates me a lot because of its piss poor standard. BT headphones worth $100 sound like absolute shit when you compare them to wired headphones with similar specs at $80. Plus, bluetooth doesn't play nice with internet calls. Discord calls make the sound quality on other applications drop significantly because of bluetooth's profile bullshit.

This is why the removal of the 3.5mm Jack still baffles me. I'll hold on to my note 9 for a while...
anyone still using an s4?
@@harrymu148 using, no but constantly thinking of ways to use my old S4 as my Raspberry pi controller
Still holding on my One Plus 6
I want the jack for my speakers. I also prefer wireless headphones over wired because I don't like to have anything in my pockets.
I'm using my note 9 too. Some of these assholes are like "Removed jack because BT is the future" blah blah blah "wires suck" and I buy bluetooth headphones and some other ass is like "bluetooth audio sucks, jack is better. The headphones are going to play gibberish if they receive gibberish no matter how good they are." like dude seriously? You can never pick a side.
I'm done with this whole bullshit honestly, what's a flagship device without basic functionality like a fucking headphone jack? They should've never switched until we had a proper solution. Apple just tried to get an advantage and EVERYONE jumps into it. They created airpods and now everyone is making truly wireless buds. I could give so many examples but I just want apple to stop already. For the love of smartphones please stop, we have had enough already.
Does anyone remember sending files between phone's with Bluetooth in the mid2000s?

When Riley is alone at the LMG office.
3:00 i thought my bluetooth earphones suddenly got EVEN BIGGER delay.
Watching this with a Bluetooth earpiece on my phone, clicked because this is a problem I "upgraded" to after I lost my old earpiece. Literally paused to turn my earpiece off and back on again at this point in the video.
Moral of the story, the older and much cheaper Plantronics Legend is much better than the newer 5200 model for this reason.
Definitely editing, got me for a second
LOL that had to suck
Mantul
look I restarted my phone bluetooth while I was using wired earphones
3:00 I appreciate that you guys made that 5 second clip out of sync 😂
I'm happy my phone still has a headphone jack.
That saved me some extra money I'd have spent on some shitty Bluetooth headphones to make the phone manufacturer happy.
Now the only portable device I have with a headphone jack is a 5C, use it for listening to flacs all the time 😂
Im happy my phone has a headphone headphone jack too
*cries in recent*
This new android phone has a headphone jack ,
because of that , this phone also has an FM radio !
Keep the jack and keep the FM radio !
I just realized that everyone is struggling with Bluetooth
I always blamed my cheap Bluetooth headphones

Because Apple was able to create a product from a problem that didn't exist that has brought them enough revenue that the money they've made from Airpods alone is higher than the yearly income from most Fortune 500 companies. (Source: MKBHD)
Because waterproofing and making space, at least that's the marketing strategy or something like that.
True I would never buy a phone without a headphone jack.(ofc mobile gamers won't buy it to )
True
And most of the wireless equipment batteries gets degraded over time
So what's the point to release the wireless stuff
The only thing I use Bluetooth for is my Bluetooth controller when I’m playing descenders bc the micro usb that’s in the controllers are shitty af
This is why my phones will ALLWAYS have a jack.
i agree
True Even I have Headphone jack on push button phones that I forgotten and I have my Note 9 and I did have headphone jack throughout my Smartphone usage also push buttons instead of the one that uses a cable like telephone lines XD
No lmfao
You wish
Good luck finding a phone with a Jack.

5:40 "military grade encryption" oh you mean https?
vpn ads are actually lies, oh wait
They use AES256, which yeah is considered as military grade encryption, because that is the encryption that is used in most cases. Well, that and RSA, but it's a VPN, so AES is the way to go.
What's funny is that AES256 is the industry standard, and as such used not only by military, banks, governments, etc, but also by most VPNs, so bragging about is... kinda weird. It's like bragging about passing an exam when everyone else passed it as well.

Yes. Yes. Yes. More tech rants please! This soothed my soul from years of frustration I couldn't articulate!
All these things that are designed to extend battery life ends up reducing your real life.
Also the actual battery life you spent on your phone to google how to fix the issues.

I can’t even use my Bluetooth headphones on my computer because whenever I connect it, half the time the sound quality drops, the other times it has a 2 second audio delay! I hate using wires but this is unbearable...
I have a bt headphone and the quality is something between good and great (AWEI A950BL), and the delay ~200ms, so not "that" much.. maybe you have a bad adapter?
Cleiton Carvalho It’s built in to the PC.

do you know what is convenient?
not having to charge your wired earphone everytime and it just works with low latency and high quality audio.
You know what's also convenient not having your head tethered to your pocket
@@shahriyaahmod2326 *walks up away from desk* trips on cord *disconnects*

something feels quite interesting about walking away without wires
You know what's convienient? Not having to untsngle a jungle of wires every time you want to use your headphones. Not having the wires and tear easily and lose equal sound quality. Not having to worry about wires getting in the way of your activity. Etc

@@eventusvantos2770 It's almost like every single one of those is very easily solved by putting your wire through your shirt.
I remember sharing pictures with my friends over Bluetooth back then before phones with wifi existed. That was the last time Bluetooth should have been relevant. It just isn't up to any of the tasks that it is being used for today and I will never understand the person who though "Yeah, let's use that technology with high latency and low bandwith for real time audio, sounds like a great idea!"
do more episodes of this kind of rants, love it!
*BRING BACK THE HEADPHONE JACK*
ClubRyzen no.
Kabocha Hito No u
Just use usb-c, it behaves the same
Nano Tox No the DAC (digital to Analog converter) in the dongle or earphones has lower quality than built in ones.
@@alexandergonczi3732 There doesn't have to be a DAC in the headphones. USB-C can passthrough the analog signal from the phones internal DAC. Google "USB C Audio Adapter Accessory Mode" if you want to know more.
the real pain is when you're gaming and hearing the sounds 2 seconds later
I play pubg mobile and quit Bluetooth all together cuz of this. Seems like you need to spend hundreds of dollars just to get a decent low latency Bluetooth headset. Fuck that
@@AlvinAlsace ya my earbuds were about 90 dollars and finally they work well. I mostly bought them for the full day battery life, but these are the first earbuds I've gotten with no noticeable latency and good sound quality. range is pretty good too. but still almost a hundred bucks for something wired earbuds can do for 15
@@milkyway370 have you played battle royale games with them? If so can you send me the link or name? Might just finally try Bluetooth again if the latency is as low as you say

That's why I'll keep buying phones with a headphone jack.
Bought a new one 2 month ago that has a headphone jack and I am very satisfied. I don't get the tech companies that get rid of essential features on flagship but have them on a perfectly fine (and affordable) midrange.
Good luck with that in the future
Headphone jack is gone on the iPhones and many android phones because you guys made a case for it being outdated and inferior and thus, no longer needed.
I would be fine with having my headphones connected via USB C

How did they know we needed a new video at 2 AM, mad ladz
You know, I find it funny how RF Headphones have almost no de-sync, can operate from wherever in a house and have better battery life than Bluetooth, AND were made well before Bluetooth.
Really the only issues with them are that it gets static-y when close to devices that produce EMI (Microwaves, Routers, LED Light-bulbs...) and that you need a mini radio tower strapped to your device.
Well, you COULD buy a professional wireless IEM system designed for stage use... Its way more stable than anything else
Indeed, I had RF headphones years ago before the mobile phone producers were trying to force bluetooth on us. I could use them to listen to my music right across the house. No bluetooth headset has come close at all.
@@CommanderZx2
I kind of find it weird how Bluetooth is using similar technology to RF, yet is worse than RF in the audio department (Bluetooth is pretty good for quick data transfers). And this tech has been around for a really long time, heck it wouldn't surprise me if IR headphones are better than Bluetooth at syncing with videos.
Those older RF ones tend to be analog transmissions, while it means effectively no delay, there is al no privacy. If you live near any older studio like place (low budget stuff) and you have a basic SDR, you can listen in on wireless microphones really easily. Bluetooth while it has delays and lower overall quality due to the throughput limitations of the standard, there are no practical ways of listening in on what is being transmitted.

When mowing the lawn, my phone is in my front pants pocket and my bluetooth earbuds constantly drop out. They are literally within arms reach of each other!
Maybe you oughtta use some superglue to hold them in place, clean out your ears, or maybe visit someone to take care of tending to your lawn that really knows what they're doing. If they weren't within arms-reach of each other, you'd really be in rough shape. Seems you've over-complicated what should be a simple man-scaping situation. Perhaps undo your britches first???

”WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE????” That's the story of my life when I use any gadget equipped with Bluetooth. Alas! 😩😏
You hit the nail on the head. I hope eventually bluetooth improves or gets replaced. My most recent issue was getting a dualshock 4 controller working on PC. It simply wont set up by BT. It detects, but no games recognize it and InputMapper doesn't either. However if I plug it in USB, everything just works. But then I have to have a USB extension cable so it's long enough to sit back with. Then it can easily come unplugged. I guess that's what I get for not using a standard PC controller.
And before anyone suggest 360 controller, I have one but I prefer dualshock over 360 because the left thumb stick and dpad are in their proper places (in my opinion).
2:56 I'm using wired speakers and i paused then unpaused the video because i thought my internet was lagging
Watched this with an audio device connected with a 3.5mm plug. And it was gloriously easy to setup, no issue and the audio quality was superb.
They've also removed features from Bluetooth on phones these days, years ago on my old Nokia C3. I was able to allow my friend to browse my files when he was in range.
This was awesome cause he had a phone with a tiny storage and i had a huge memory card, so he'd use my phones storage wirelessly at school to swap the music on his phone with music stored on mine and I didn't have to do anything.
I feel as if Bluetooth file browsing like that could still be super useful ngl
I agree. After so many generations, pairing can still be a nightmare, especially on Windows.
