Dan the speaker man is here to talk about Polaroid and their new speakers(?!) With a confusing app and limited feature set, is this the speaker you should take to your next beach party, or should you stick to a more established and less flashy brand?

For what it's worth: The rights to the Polaroid name and brand were bought up in 2017 by the owners of the "Impossible Project", an independent manufacturer and refurbisher of Polaroid film and cameras. Since then, they've brought back Polaroid's camera lineup and film along with slowly turning it into a lifestyle brand. It's a bit different than previous years in which Polaroid's name was used in the same fashion as Westinghouse or Technicolor to market cheap, low-end electronics.
Seconded. It would be nice if when they do reviews of "purely brand" products (those always made by subcontractors) they would find out who actually produced/manufactured the product. This would allow for a better gauge. Contracted to Bose: good. Contracted to mpow: not so good. (If anyone has a better suggestion than mpow, please chime in, I spaced on a bad sound product company)
Funny enough there’s also a different Polaroid that split off and was sold to several different companies. I think it’s owned by some Italian glasses conglomerate or something. I only know because that’s the brand on my glasses frames
Yeah basically they trashed the brand by putting it on any old thing and I wouldnt trust anything with the name Polaroid anymore.
Was just about to comment about this!
bankrupted companies shouldnt be allowed to be resold...
No one represents rich yas teens better than Dan.
This made my day😂
I wouldn’t trust a review of a teenager for a $200-300 speaker; and I’m a teenager
@@MasterKey2004 he has your best interests at heart.
Love how Dan has got so confident in front of the cameras
He's kind of insufferable
He's delightful!!!
Absolutely love Dan. He’s one of my favorites now!
@@panacottagram no u
Ok but we see this comment on every video
I'm glad the Fisher Price design team is still getting work.
XD
Lol
im glad that im not the only one thinking that about the design.
IMO the design is just gruesome....
@@Ferzin400 Honestly it gave me more 70s vibes which makes complete sense to me since Polaroid basically exist solely to fulfil a retro aesthetic niche for hipsters.
I searched through the comments hoping to hear someone else make the Fisher-Price connection.
Dan being an audiophile yet barely talking about the audio quality is why I'm here. Love you Dan.
the audio sounds worse than my old £30 chinese speaker
As an audiophile…. These speakers type of speakers are usually fine or trash…… they aren’t ever really likely to be good
So impressions are usually ..yeah it’s fine… if you’re buying this you’re not an audiophile so it’s gonna be a-okay for general use
if you are an audiophile then what the heck are you doing here? What did you honestly expect?
@@crenshawyeo true
@@girlsdrinkfeck You can't know that based on compressed youtube video unless you have one.
@@zerocool6452 yes i can
I really appreciate everyone's "a thing is happening, but we'll get through it together" approach to this video
I just love Dan in front of the camera, always a treat to see a video with him.
He's a contender for best presenter for Anthony
I don't like this guy at all.
Dan: brilliant engineer, does complex electronics and soldering that even linus doesn't dare try
Also Dan: motor skills that can't handle a speaker unboxing
I love how Dan is so awkward and care free with this review lol.
And that's when we know how good the editing guys are! haha
Almost too carefree. He does the snobby audiophile part very well
@@MegaDRKSTR how do you figure? He hardly talked about the audio quality
@@aarontimm he hardly did anything. Maybe it's the format of the show (which i severely dislike) but he barely covered anything. And the whole time it looked like he would rather do anything else than unbox the speaker. The whole demeanor gave the feeling that he felt the speaker was beneath his notice because it was just an expensive gimmick with too much design or something or not an audiophile equipment. The audiophile part comes from the fact that he has covered more specialised audio stuff in other episodes and is quite knowledgeable
Just a correction: The Polaroid brand is no longer being used by a dozen or so different companies.
The brand and IP was bought by the Dutch Impossible Project, who revived the original Polaroid instant film production.
Everything you see branded with Polaroid nowadays, is by them.
0:33 NOT THE NERDFORGE PC D:
I love that Dan gives off tired Dad energy he's just had enough of corporate 🤣 I appreciate it
My favorite thing about a review like this is I know pretty much going in I will have no interest in the actual item (and what little I have usually evaporates when I hear the price) but the review itself is so damn funny and entertaining I can't resist.
This is exactly that.
Everybody needs to unbox things like this from now on.. Thanks!
Polaroid has been making speakers for several years now. I had 2 different ones for a few years. One had a panel bellow the mesh and could change colors based on the music.
Top two comments for me:
"Love how Dan has got so confident in front of the cameras"
" I love how Dan is so awkward and carefree..."
PICK ONE YT COMMENTS
P.S. apparently we all love Dan though
You cut off the last part on that second quote, to make it mean the opposite... Include the whole comment and they're kinda saying the same thing.
I can't help but watch every Short Circuit that Dan hosts, and this one is a perfect example of why.
Damn the first box hit the cyberpunk pc 😢
As a NerdForge fan, my heart stopped when Dan yeeted the box right towards the cyberpunk case in the beginning of the video.
I did a double take and scrolled back because I couldn’t believe that was actually it. Doing this by accident is understandable but I probably would’ve cut it from the video honestly
@@jPup_ LMG don't cut accidents out of videos otherwise Linus Drop Tips wouldn't be a thing. They like to keep things real and, besides, it's free content and helps drive engagement in the comments when something happens in the video. There have been numerous examples of accidents occurring while filming and the first thing Linus says is: "did you get that on camera?"
@@Okusar yeah, I totally feel you and I do appreciate the transparency. If I were them I would’ve at least made some sort of comment, I was surprised nobody behind camera reacted in any way. I’m not usually phased by the drops/bangs/clumsy-ness when it comes to consumer products… but this thing is a legitimate piece of art, and one made by a “friend of the show”.
I’d think they would at least _say_ something out of respect 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
@@jPup_ dude it's a piece of paper they threw at it, what are you even talking about. it does less damage than a roll of paper towels.
@@ecksdee7957 did you watch the video of it being made? There’s tons of paper, card stock, foil, and other materials that could easily be damaged by something light weight. Anyways my point wasn’t even that it _would_ be damaged, just that I would’ve acknowledged it with some sort of “oh, shit! 😬” moment
Love the extra editing on this one, works perfectly with Dan's persona.
Editors went all out on this, I like how they added a window-crashing sound every time he threw a box away!
Yes I absolutely love this new editing style!
No way! I thought they were breaking actual windows Every Single Time!
This is not a portable speaker. Its an educational tool. It has everything: bright contrasting colours to grab attention. Soft, cheerful sounds for audible feedback. Clicks for haptics feedback, scrolling volume button for micro dexterity training. Connect the dots on the app...perfect for a developing child. Or a rich teenager. Good job, Polaroid... (enthusiastic and well adjusted member of society thumbs up)
Thank you for hiring this man
Dan is such a natural presenter. Love the videos he's in!
I. Love. This. Guy.
Okay, I meant to comment this on the last couple Short Circuit videos too, but whoever this new editor is, they're doing a really banger job (and not just because of all the explosion effects)! Really entertaining to watch!
Your mics are so good that I get a pretty good idea of the frequency response when you do your tests.
I guess you recently got a new editor because I JUST LOVE the over the top effects. LOVE IT!!!
Dan woke up and they put this speaker in front of him to review. 😂
Best Short Circuit video....maybe ever! Do no't care about product but Dan is amazing and hilarious. 👍
Dan is just his own mood sometimes :D Love it!
Another amazing video form LTT because of Dan is here! Video with Dan are a treat to the dopamine receptors
I bought a Polaroid speaker 9 years ago and it's still kicking. It sounds great and the battery is still strong. I give them props for sure.
I love Dan's energy! So good
I love Dan. We need more Dan in more of every video.
Gosh I love Dan's chaos it's just :chef's kiss:
This was the most chaotic unboxing and first impressions video ever. Love it!
omg we need more videos of Dan!!! the man is so watchable and relatable and funny and amazing and awesome :D
Probably the most honest review on RUclips.
Idk if Dan is a new host or not but he's cool and I want more of him
polaroid also has a 3d sugar pen for printing candy ,I seen it on another channel today
OMG I can't believe he threw that box at that pc!
Love Dan so much.
Died laughing at “we will try and turn that into a video”
The editing on this one was amazing
I love the way he ends the video by just recommending a better product. I'm glad he didn't do that at the start as I would have missed some brilliant content.
I think they were made to put on a bookshelf and look pretty and they can also play music as a bonus.
Love it. Forget taking things out slowly and building anticipation. Just rip everything out and throw the box away lol.
I like how you yeet the box on the priceless custom pc you guys wanted to give away.
I love Dan... He speaks and comes across exactly how I feel!
I know you can't judge sound over youtube, but the fact that bass made it move on the table tells me that it's insanely bassy.
The directivity of the speaker could be a great analysis for the lab 😊
Dan is easily in my top 3 LTT hosts. Such an entertaining lad.
im glad they tried to turn this into a video.
I have the P2 and I have been really surprised by how much I like it. The design is a major factor. It looks and feels nice. Also, it's great that it's USB C. The screen is a nice bonus, because it shows the song names.
Sometimes watching these review videos is like watching those ads for those dumb runner games where they mess up on purpose to piss you off lol
Great editing, Dan is great.👍
I found a blue P3 speaker at TJ Maxx that they have been marking down since Christmas, and when I found it, they had the price slashed down to $30. Literally cannot complain about anything at that price.
I bought one today at TJM for $32. Not bad. I wonder how much better sounding and louder the P4 is though.
"we'll try to turn that into a video..." You guys are so supportive :)
can you guys talk about bluetooth versions and when it comes to audio devices with current to new bluetooth version bringing new features to the table i think its worth the mention
Literally love Dan
I love Dan videos so much!
I love Dan! Wildly tossing the packaging xD
I love Dan's voice.
0:33 that was the gentlest yeet if I've ever seen one.
I have never laughed so hard at an lmg video, I vote more Dan the man
Every time I've checked out the Sony speaker on Amazon, it's been just under $300 so I'd say that's the way to go, unless the P4 has any sort of IP rating
Seeing Dan have an existential crisis asking "why are apps like this?" "why are devices like this?" makes me feel better and worse about tech sometimes *just not fucking working*
For the love of god, DO NOT THROW THINGS AT THE CYBERPUNK PC. That beautiful, magical, one of a kind PC is to be treated like the QUEEN IT IS. When that box sleeve hit it I actually cringed.
Came for the Dan, stayed for the Dan.
the deadpan continuous carboard packaging waterfall was glorious.
This is probably the most frantic short circuit yet
I need Dan’s opinion on soundbars for PC gaming. I have restricted space so I can only use a soundbar.
I really like the Dan reviews
What's the price for it at Big Lots with the rest of Polaroid's electronic line.
0:34 Nerd Forge just getting yeeted on in the background
Can we please respect the hard work that went into the cyberpunk pc? It breaks my heart when i see it getting hit by a flying box
Those are weird cameras
Dan's personality is totally shifting towards a Linus personality, you can tell haha
that linus photo is amazing
What is the frequency response like? From the video it sounds to me like it has gross sounding midbass boost but very little sub bass. Am i correct?
Is there any doubly atmos portable speakers as it is rather expensive on a speaker in which you can’t change any settings on
I have always wondered why the MacBook and dell xps speakers are good compared to other laptops
As Dan is an audio expert
As it was him who checked out all the frequencies that some speakers broadcast
Sound is one of the things that is underused in computer devices as the Kinect devices used sonar , I wonder whether there could be a better way or an updated way other than Kinect
More Dan videos!!
i'm glad you guys know that polaroid isn't actually polaroid anymore
Very creative design, so chic
You made a video out of all that. One would love to see the full, uncut, unedited shammozzle session on F.oaters.
The dude has a knack, like Anthony.
I love the ending. And we will try to turn that into a video 😂
Wow that’s crazy speaker for p3 and p4 labs !!
Damn Daniel, back at it again.
You know what my favorite bit about this? “It has a handle” APPLAUSE
Yeah the Polaroid name is kind of like Atari after their bankruptcy. Polaroid BV does still make some SX-70 and 600 film though I'd personally probably use a Fujifilm Instax instead depending on what ISO you really need or if you really prefer the Polaroid image size. Instax is only ISO 800 but considering what you'd actually want on instant film I think that's a good choice.
I would always take one larger speaker over two smaller speakers (in the same enclosure). "There's no replacement for displacement" doesn't just work for car engines.
The yeet killed me🤣
is polaroid somewhere linked to sonos? cause that app looks very sonos-y
Those remind me of those old kids speakers you used to get
What audio codec it supposed to support tho?
I think Dan might be the best ShortCircuit host
Love that Danhausen
I’m always excited for new Matt Walsh videos on LTT!
Gotta be one of the most honest opinions I've come across. Thanks for a good laugh too.
Please more of Dan
