They actually cloned the Samsung Beans!

Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:03]Oh, the beans. I love that they're not called the beans, but if you type in Samsung beans, these do come up. Is it my fault? I hope it's my fault. They're actually called the Samsung Buds Live and they are so successful that they're gone. They're completely discontinued and they did not have another go at it.

[00:00:23]Look, my only issue with these is that they lied. Notice they're not like full-blown rubber tipped earplugs.

[00:00:29]They're openear earbuds. Cool. That's fine. But then they said that they have noise cancelling. That's nonsensical.

[00:00:38]You can't have open ear and noise cancelling. Sound is air pressure. It's a lot like water pressure. If you have a big gaping hole in your submarine, all the water comes in. So, if these aren't sealed into your ears, outside noise has to leak in. And the big gripe was that that was so expensive, maniacally expensive. They did crash the price down not too long after they came out. And then fine, there's not that many bad products in this world. Just bad prices.

[00:01:06]So yeah, a lot of people are actually quite happy with their beans cuz they got them from an absolute steal. And then they're fine. They're fine and they look like beans. What more could you want in this world? And they're chrome chromeed beans. And as I said, they're they're gone. They're Yeah, you you can't get them. Oh dear. What's wrong?

[00:01:24]Oh, do I put them in backwards? I did.

[00:01:26]It's It's hard to know. Well, as you know, I was in Canada. I did the North American continent ritual. I went to a Walmart and I get it now. I understand it. What a magical place. We have nothing like it in Australia where you can buy track pants and ground beef all in the same aisle. It was actually where I was getting my groceries. It was near the hotel I was staying at. You betcha.

[00:01:47]I did some laps around that place. I swear I spotted these. I nearly did a backflip. This is Walmart's in-house brand. Oh, no. They did it. They cloned the beans. That's incredible. I mean, they're preaching adaptive noise cancellation, ambient sound modes, and all that. It's amazing how cheap this technologyy's gotten. Won't have to worry about your cords tripping you up while you're perfecting your running, man. People still doing the running, man. And you know, it's Canadian because it's covered in French, which is my favorite bit. Canada. What a vibe. Water resistant. 28 hours of bean time. Do you want that much beans? But I do have good faith in these because they've got regular rubber tips. They're not trying to be overly fancy like the OGs, you know, with their open earbud looking whatevers. Promising noise cancellation, which is just impossible. These are earplugs. They've got a good shot. Open here. Yes, sir. You got someone getting wet for the beans. And you got someone being content with their life choices with the beans. That's all you could hope for with these USBC to USBA because that's the future we live in. Ear tips.

[00:02:55]Oh, and a lot of them got its bud case and well, honestly, it looks pretty big.

[00:03:01]That's an issue having a big thick chunky case. It makes it hard to carry around. NO WAY. IT'S GOT AN LED touch control. A I hate touch controls.

[00:03:11]There's nothing left to it but to do it.

[00:03:13]We're going to do it. We're going to pop open my brand new beans.

[00:03:17]You don't know what this means to me. I have my brand new beans. My beans.

[00:03:23]Beans. Beans. Please recycle this box.

[00:03:26]No way. I'm going to frame it and hang it on my wall. Someone bothered to clone these.

[00:03:31]Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. God, I can't do it. It's not in color. I mean, it's technically in color. It has color on it. Boring to Oh my goodness.

[00:03:42]Look at that model name. The Aba 1043845.

[00:03:47]I put Sony to shame for their naming schemes. There's the No, no, no, no. The charging case, the no LED indicator, the on the charging port. That illustration of a hand is too small. And let me guess, it's French on the No. Oh, no.

[00:04:01]No, no, no. It keeps going. Good. You open the case and they pair up to the last dingle you're with two. At the same time, you're getting greedy with these beans. Goody touch controls. They've never sucked at all. And I totally don't hate touch controls. One and a half hours to get full bean capacity. Ah, it's all it's all pretty it's all pretty easy. And I'm learning the French words for words I already know. Oh, we're getting serious here. Oh, they they foam ones as well. Like earplug ones. They are. WOW. Silicon and like foam ones.

[00:04:31]Those foam ones are going to get so greasy. I like the packaging, by the way. LOTS OF CARDBOARD. WO, LOOK AT THIS LEATHER TEXTURE. You're looking at this?

[00:04:40]THAT'S HILARIOUS. IF I FOUND this discarded at my nana's house, I'd swear this was from like the 70s and holds like, I don't know, contact lenses or something.

[00:04:50]My brand new beans. How we for thickness, huh? Okay, they're a little bit chunker, which isn't great. You know, the AirPod Pros here, second gen.

[00:05:01]Like, you see how thin they got these?

[00:05:03]It really matters. It's how it slips into the pocket and disappears. And why a kind of grippy material? That's going to suck getting in and out of jeans. But then these people did clone the beans.

[00:05:13]So there's some instability up there, you know. Tips dingle cable. Land waste.

[00:05:20]I was going to say, where's the medium?

[00:05:22]But I'm guessing it's cuz they're already on here. Oh, nice. I got my own USB to USBA cable. Every time I need to charge my No, no, no, no. Devices.

[00:05:32]Charge only. Well, I wasn't going to mix spaghetti with it. Get these mad lads out. Let's activate the beans. Let's I I want them to charge for a little bit to start with. These the medium tips.

[00:05:44]They're tiny. They don't smell good.

[00:05:47]Okay. Oh. Oh, no. No. No. No. No. No.

[00:05:49]No. Well, uh, I'm going to go charge them for a bit. Are there any Oh. Oh, they're trying to talk. They're broadcasting their bean energies. Not yet, my friends. Not yet. Well, while the beans are cooking, I need to get familiar with the original beans. I remember the sound being fine. I didn't hate them. Here we go. Oh, that's a strange fit. Oh, they're not fun to talk with. Really good ear. Oh, man. They suck to talk with And as I'm adjusting them and they're going bing bing cuz of the touch controls. There's something weird that happens when like you block your ears and talk. If you don't block them all the way, it can actually become really loud in your own head. Like right now, my voice is distorting inside of my head. I If you want to look insane for a quick moment, and I know you do, send me block your ears and just be talking la, whatever. I get you're going to look insane, but you notice it gets really loud inside your head. That's what I got going on right now.

[00:06:48]Stupid. Oh, that's so much better to talk with. It's actually impressive how much bass you get out of the beans.

[00:06:53]They're fine. they they they were just too expensive and didn't actually have noise cancelling which was like a big kind of hook and line sinker kind of thing for them and something that I was very interested in because open back and noise cancelling how does that work you know and it does right wow like 1970s car dashboard texture for real we got to lay these next to each other oh my magnets don't mess around the beanie good it's it's like you can't deny Why? This was the one they were going for, but instead they put a conventional rubber tip on it instead. That's hilarious. Yeah. See, on the original beans, this rubber thing that you can adjust is kind of what helps it stay in your ear. It's an interesting design.

[00:07:39]It's like It's very original. Not anymore cuz there's there's clones now.

[00:07:44]Oh, look. There's Apple watches. I can't get off of my device cuz I don't know where they are. Am I Oh, no, no, no, no, no. TWWs in your ANC's. I nearly put them in backwards cuz it's not a very intuitive look. Okay, I I need the larger tips. Yeah, cuz I have a huge head. Oh, they're slightly oval shape, which is good cuz that's actually what your ear hole is shaped like. Get on there, you clown. The rubber dingle is also oval shaped. So, you you got to line it up. Thought it'd just be circle and then make itself oval. Oh, in typical fashion, as I'm fitting them to my ears to get them settled, they're going play, pause, play, pause, play, pause. Apple did it so proper. That's what the stem's good for. You can like configure it and fit it how you want.

[00:08:22]You're not touching the control surface.

[00:08:24]They're They're not amazing to talk with. They kind of got the the boominess of this guy, which is unfortunate. It's what makes, you know, having phone calls with these so nice. It It just feels really natural. I mean, it's not as bad as the beans. I'll give it that. Okay, I got the noise cancelling on and I can hear some sort of like H. Yeah, it's it's kind of like static chatter I'm going to call it. Well, they are bean clones. So, well, look, um, soundwise, it's kind of why, you know, people lament that, you know, I don't do many headphone videos anymore. And it's just we're kind of getting to this buttery golden age where, you know, even cheap off-brand stuff is just swinging so hard. It's like if I was stuck with these and these are my only headphones, I wouldn't complain. They got that low-end bass slam. There's detail in the top, you know, for Walmart home brand earbuds shaped like beans. It's just surprising, you know? And even like jumping straight from these to these, it's like, oh, OH, THEY'RE THEY'RE EARBUDS. NO WORRIES.

[00:09:37]Just testing the noise cancelling. Then I went and just banged on a bunch of drums. It's impressive. My ears weren't getting slammed. If I was really whacking it, there was like a little bit of like um clipping when I hit a symbol that really makes them clip, but you know, these do that as well.

[00:09:54]Chromulants abound. I'm I'm half tempted to actually make these my earbuds. The main thing I use these for is if I have to make phone calls and being out like the the quick deployment out of the very chromulent case and how easy they slip in the pocket and they just work. I don't think these are going to be able to top that cuz merely just putting them in your head and adjusting them. Yeah, it's like music pause, music on, music pause, music and noise. Yeah. Well, you know what? We we got to test the microphone. It's It's usually the weakest part of Bluetooth headphones is that yeah, the microphones just kind of suck and it's annoying. It's to do with the Bluetooth protocol and whatnot. Not that, you know, they don't put good mics in these, but then it's been long enough. Why can't they fix it? You know, like a $2 cable mic sounds better than these. What we're going to do, we're going to go AirPods, real beans, fake beans. Saw it make this one time. I was like so inspired by the Samsung beans that I thought I'd make my own bean inspired technology, mate. But like I don't have access to any sort of plastic manufacturing companies. Hey, so I'm going to have to utilize like real beans, mate. And somehow I got to actually turn that into technology and somehow a profit cuz I haven't earned a single dollar in 17 years. And so like the problem is mate, I have so little money that I don't even have any beans to start with. So like first part of the mission mate is to get some beans. So in my search for some beans without any money, mate, I figured that like I should avoid the supermarkets cuz they're like the middleman in the bean economy. Hey, and I should just go straight to where like beans come from.

[00:11:25]But it turns out I'm like not very smart. Hey, I mean I don't know. I I some days I think I'm a genius cuz I invented a new kind of deodorant. It's just called rubbing a half cut apple all over you. But like I I got a fishing rod and I went down to the creek, mate, and I just started casting a line and I might have started a bit of a commotion when I just started screaming like, "Where are the beans, mate? The beans should be here. I've been here for 12 hours. Where are the beans, mate?" And like I I'm actually hiding in some bushes cuz I'm actually not sure of these people's intentions. All right, mate. So, it's been a few weeks cuz uh those people actually did call the police. Uh, not cuz I was screaming like, "Where are the beans?" as I was casting a line into the creek. It's because I stole the fishing rod from a family two minutes before I started doing that. And like they they didn't say anything. So, I figured that they'll just giving it to me, mate. But what they were actually doing was being absolutely terrified of me cuz I I mean, I can't afford clothes. Hey. So, I've just kind of fashioned clothes out of street signs that I've stolen, which is kind of chafing real bad, mate.

[00:12:29]Especially like I'm not going to say where. And so basically, mate, like they kind of locked me up for a bit, but it was good, mate, because like they they actually had beans in the prison cafeteria and that's where I realized that my plans were very flawed. They they had no chance of working, mate.

[00:12:44]Utilizing real beans as a means of technological progress. So, I'm just going to get back to working on my zucchini flavored car. Even the pros are kind of mid. Like, they're really mid.

[00:12:56]I'm in the same room as I I just stand over there to make those recordings, right? You can just hear it's like nah.

[00:13:03]It's, you know, it's fine. You can understand it. The smnug beans pretty crap, man. It's this weird clicking noise. I don't know. I was just standing and talking. I don't know where that's coming from. And I actually reckon these sounded better. It was a slight improvement. They're not amazing, but it's the original beans. Soundwise, look, they they are extra bassy. They got that extra boom. When I listen to that walk through the park jazz song, that double bass is just kind of too much, but it's the safer way to lean for most people, right? People just like the stinkiness. It's not ridiculous. I'm sure my ears will adjust to it. And I am literally a beinging against something that costs hundreds of dollars more.

[00:13:47]They fit fine, but yeah, we're hitting that point with audio. I mean, my TV at home is some 4K no-name cheap piece of crap. The colors are a little bit blown out the same way that the base is a little bit blown out, but for the most part, it's fine. It works fine. I've had it for like 6 years. No dead pixels. It turns on every time. Just never let it hook up to the internet. We're hitting that with Bluetooth buds with noise cancelling. This is like Walmart's in-house brand on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. What do you want for 40 bucks?

[00:14:20]40 BUCKS. YOU COULD BUY FIVE SETS OF THESE for one set of Pros. And like, yeah, the only mystery to do with these is how long are they going to last? It's like the the KB earbuds. You can get them for like 20 bucks. They're really excellent, really amazing. But, you know, they might bk out on you in 6 months. So, you know, I'm I'm going to have to drive the Bean clones for as long as I can stand them. And we we just see I mean, the OG beans are still rolling hard. These have survived years.

[00:14:47]and abuse like you know lithium batteries don't like sitting out of charge for ages but these always wake up and get back to work giving these a break a bean man me I'm going to be a bean man all right we're in the future no no no I've been rocking these around for quite a bit um they are so stinking chromulent like they don't have the range of the AirPods you'd guess that being 40 bucks from Wally's world. You know, they got that extra bass, but it's not really an issue. My ears just adjust to it. You know, like comparison is the theft of joy. You if you AB test everything, you're going to find the flaws and everything. You know, I'm just rocking these like someone shopping at Walmart looking for no no headphones. And it's just like, well, they look like they'll work. You put them in your head and go.

[00:15:37]I They're fine. A track I like to test bass with is from Star Wars Episode 1's like soundtrack, and it's the Droid Invasion. And so it's like this and it's an orchestral bass drum. It's like one of the deepest bases you can make acoustically. You get to hear one like live in person. It'll scare the heck out of it. It's like boom. It's It's amazing. But yeah, like these have that extra bass, but you can still feel the low the b. It's like it's just extra fun is how I'm going to put it. It I don't feel it's ruining anything. I mean, I I don't know. I'm just kind of kicking myself how incredibly chronulent these are. I don't want to rave too much and have like hardcore audio files get them go, "Oh, you're an idiot. 6K is all over the place." It's like my 40 bucks. I'm putting these in going these are my earbuds now and I'm actually going to unironically enjoy them. The extra fun base. You know what? I'm up for the extra fun.

[00:16:42]>> Again, it's amazing. We're up to this point where these cheaper brands, these cheaper electronics, I mean, I don't know. I mean, the limit is us, the human. We can hear, you know, for the most part from 20 Hz to 20,000 hertz.

[00:16:54]Doesn't matter if you make headphones that go up to 100,000 hertz, the human can't hear it. So, once you nail the human listening range, you you're kind of done. You know, it's like um 8K TVs are kind of going away, you know, like manufacturers aren't really bothering anymore cuz 4K looks amazing. Gez, even 1080 still looks great, especially for like movies and content. That's what a Blu-ray is. So, yeah, we're getting up to this point with technology where it's like, yeah, a set of no buds. And um what can I say? And yeah, I'm I'm actually enjoying the um 1970s dashboard leather texture with the slightly soft plastic. They It doesn't feel bad in the pocket, mate. There you go. Wally's World. AND THAT'S IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH for watching. Huge thanks to these stinky names right here. They're my $10 floaties. That's way too cool. Thank you so much. U float plane is where all my extra stuff is. There's so much. There's too much. You actually have to go into notification settings and like click off what you don't want to hear from, right?

[00:18:02]Cuz there's food stuffs. We're watching police videos. I'm doing car like extra car video stuff. There's like five drum streams a week. I'm sneaking in extra game streams where I just play crap. I love crappy games. In the drum stream, Frank's back. Frank camera is back. So, literally, if you just want 5 hours of staring at Frank in a box doing nothing and just put the drum stream on mute, do it. I don't mind because you guys jumping in really, really helps me out.

[00:18:30]I really appreciate it cuz it means I can fly around the world and pick up more beans. So, thanks much. And you know what, mate? All I'll see you all next time.

[00:18:43]Oh, she be squeezing it. Frank, don't fall down. She will. She will absolutely fall down. Oh, she's doing a sneak attack for the phone. We saw that.

[00:18:52]Frank, you got to back up. We can't make out your shiny head.
