- Hey guys, this is Austin.

And welcome to a very special episode of Mystery Tech what.

Austin's Mystery Tech Wardrobe.

(Austin laughing)

Why is this Xbox?

What, it's a what (laughing)

- [Ken] So our friends at Microsoft

got you the limited edition Xbox Onesie.

- Why is it triple XXXL?

Uh, I've got.

(zipper sliding) (light-hearted guitar music)

All right so now it's time to complete our adventure

into Xbox Mystery Tech.

(light-hearted guitar music)

- [Matt] Oh no, oh no.

- Okay it's fine.

(plastic thud)

Hey guys, this is Austin. (plastic tapping)

Oh.

So this my friends, is a box from PITAKA.

Now you might know PITAKA

from a certain controversy a couple months ago,

regarding a case, some beef perhaps.

So let's see what they've sent over.

It's a very nice box I gotta say.

It's very, very nice.

Okay, that's a lot of stuff, all right.

Wait. (book thumping desk)

Ken, did PITAKA pay you to put this in here?

- [Ken] No?

- I smell shenanigans.

Why is there a giant box of PITAKA stuff

on my desk right now?

- [Ken] 'Cause they wanted it

out of your good graces? (zipper sliding)

- So I'm just gonna take a second

and point out that I

am currently dailying a Latercase.

Just so the record shows.

- [Matt] Watch out, someone is going to make

a blog post about you.

- That's fine.

Everyone should know where my true allegiance lies.

(zipping sliding)

With the bald Canadian himself.

(Austin laughing)

- [Ken] Oh, what is that?

- Magnetic wall-mount organizer wireless charger.

So you mount this to your wall

and you stick your keys onto it,

and you have two wireless chargers.

So if you have a magnetic case like one of these

it'll go like.

(Ken laughing)

- [Ken] How do you function daily?

- All right let's see,

let's see what we get with the PITAKA case.

I assume it's gonna be very similar

to what I already know.

That looks pretty similar.

- [Ken] The features are probably a little different.

- Yeah I think the Latercase actually

feels a little bit better.

It feels a little bit more textured.

This one feels a little more rubbery and smooth.

I can say that I'm pretty happy with the Latercase.

This is fine but.

I mean there's only so many ways you can make a case

for a phone.

- [Ken] Words of wisdom by Austin Evans.

- Hey you know it's true.

- [Ken] It is true.

- Okay, so you've given me a large selection of AAA

and AA batteries as well as a screw driver.

(tedious music)

Ken, this is going to be bad.

This is going to be very not good.

I'm gonna open what I am 90% sure is a Roboraptor.

There's no other reason you'd give me

this number of weird batteries.

Like three of these are for the Roboraptor,

three of these are for the controller,

here's my little screw driver because toys are really

annoying and they have little like screw driver thing on it.

Because this box is so large, it means this is going to be

a Megaraptor, which I'm going to hate much, much more

than any of the other Roboraptors

that have come through the doors.

Ken am I right right now?

- [Ken] Uh uh uh?

- You have Roboraptor right there.

Why would you have?

See, see.

Wait, this is an actual Roboraptor?

Not like a knock off?

It's literally Roboraptor, but twice as big and gray.

- [Matt] Do you wanna know how much you paid for this?

- How much is Roboraptor X?

- [Matt] Do you wanna take a guess?

- A $100?

- [Matt] $140.

(tedious music)

- [Ken] Cheaper than me and Matt.

Just saying.

- Get it.

Yeah.

(Roboraptor roaring)

(Austin laughing)

- [Ken] Austin.

- I have never seen Roboraptor

do half the things he's doing right now.

What is going on?

Oh okay.

All right, well this one's alive and angry.

Roboraptor, hmm?

Yeah, ah.

Three, two, one.

(bell dinging)

Roboraptor is coming on strong.

He's coming up,

oh but X is getting some shots in coming in from behind.

Smacking him on the tail.

Doesn't seem like Roboraptor X minds,

but however Roboraptor oh.

(Austin screaming)

Roboraptor has fa--

Okay, you know what?

This is a close one.

Cause Roboraptor did fall of first.

However Roboraptor X also fell off.

I need to find a better use of my time.

(Roboraptor squeaking)

(crashing sound)

(laughing)

- [Matt] He waved goodbye.

(cheerful music)

- Chord.

Your music, just better.

Well, that seems like quite the lofty claim.

Mojo the ultimate DAC headphone amplifier

for your smartphone.

Ken?

- [Ken] Hm?

- How much was the Mojo chord?

(cheerful music)

- [Matt] Whoa.

$400.

- [Ken] $400 as the man said.

Hey it was $500 at some point so

I got you a really good deal.

- So Ken you know when we had that conversation

about let's make Mystery Tech better in 2020.

Let's get bigger budgets.

The bigger budgets don't mean just spending more money

on the same stupid bull beep.

- [Ken] I mean.

- All right.

This actually does feel very premium.

It's very metally.

It also feels pretty heavy.

So for reference I am going to be using the BGVP DMG

headphones from Mystery Tech like three or four moths ago.

These had been my dailies and they actually do sound really

good even without a proper amp and DAC.

However they should be high enough quality that

if this thing is actually legit and works,

I'll be able to tell a difference.

(chilled music)

So like, I guess the only thing that really jumps out to me

here is that, while it's good.

Is it worth this sort of trade off?

Even if you take up away the fact that

I have to plug this thing in.

Once it's charged up keeping some kind of USB dongle

with you just seems like it's a little bit much.

What are you doing?

(box thumping)

Oh. (Austin laughing)

All right.

So this is with Drop.

How much were these?

- [Ken] 200.

- $200 okay.

The Ken spends lots of money on headphones,

episode continues.

Okay, let's see what we've got here.

Ooh.

This looks nice.

Aw damn.

Oh so are these the, what are they?

The planar magnets?

Oh.

So the first thing I'll say is.

These are incredibly open headphones.

Like I mean I can hear just as well with or without them.

That's actually kind of interesting.

Let me turn this volume way down so I don't become deaf.

Now to be fair these are not broken in or warmed up at all.

♪ What's going on ♪

♪ Can you take me with ♪

Oh Jesus.

Wow, that's good.

I feel like my head is in the middle

of the concert right now.

('All My Friends' by Madeon plays)

Woo.

All right, these are very good.

- [Matt] Yeah, they're great speakers.

- What?

- [Matt] I said, "they're great speakers."

- Yeah that's pretty loud.

Let me try to be objective for a second.

I'm gonna unplug all this stuff.

We're gonna plug this directly in.

We're gonna see exactly what happens.

(upbeat music)

Is that all I've got?

Okay yeah no.

No, like that's at full volume

barely enough for me to consider worth listening to.

That's, no.

So I think with headphones like this, it's really clear.

You're gonna need something with some power to drive it.

Now do you need to spend $400+ on this little DAC?

Probably not.

You could probably get away with something

that's significantly cheaper.

However, with what I've got in front of me.

A phone, a DAC, an incredible pair of headphones.

This is a special, special experience.

And I hope that you can take me earnestly

considering that I am wearing a Xbox onesie right now.

But, it's good.

Just imagine me not wearing this right now.

(Matt laughing)

Thank you very much.

(box thumping)

All right.

So, we have a very mysterious looking box here.

None of this says what this thing is.

I guess they assume that when you buy something

you know what you've bought.

Smart warmer and cooler.

Wait, I see Qi on one side and hot surface.

Is this like some like wireless charger slash drink warmer.

- [Ken] You are a 100% correct.

- Oh really?

All right so it's blue right now.

- [Matt] That's cold.

- [Ken] Yes.

- [Austin] So we take a look with the thermal.

What we can see is, yeah I mean that's literally

four degrees Celsius.

You can see there's a huge difference between the cable

which is like 28 and this which is essentially freezing.

Oh wow, dude look at this.

So you can see that the top of it is ice cold

but this is where all the heat's coming out.

Like you can see there's like a streak of it

all across the table.

Now for reference our can of soda is 21 degrees,

20 degrees, something like that.

- [Ken] That came out of a box, not the fridge.

- Okay, so while my can is being chilled.

I'm going to charge my phone .

Oh look at that.

Neatly works.

So, I can charge my phone, I can cool my drink or

alternatively I could heat my drink.

So after about thirty seconds or so

this went from being below freezing to 47, 48 degrees.

So let's put some water on it and see what happens.

So right now the water is 20 degrees or so.
