Authentics series speakers at once 178 00:07:19.100 --> 00:07:22.590 I used the Authentics 300 and Authentics 200 together 179 00:07:22.590 --> 00:07:24.420 and instead of just feeling like the volume got louder 180 00:07:24.420 --> 00:07:25.779 the sound became denser 181 00:07:25.779 --> 00:07:27.859 filling the space more thoroughly 182 00:07:27.859 --> 00:07:28.959 They also work great as interior pieces 183 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.579 adding a cool party vibe 184 00:07:31.579 --> 00:07:32.820 By using it, I thought 185 00:07:32.820 --> 00:07:35.470 If you don’t need the full power of the Authentics 300 186 00:07:35.470 --> 00:07:37.619 The Authentics 200 should be more than enough 187 00:07:37.619 --> 00:07:39.439 (For Single household / Studio Apartments) Especially for those living in studio apartments 188 00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.169 Now that it's available in a new white color 189 00:07:42.169 --> 00:07:44.070 Design and specs are almost the same 190 00:07:44.070 --> 00:07:46.679 So, if you're looking for smaller with similar specs 191 00:07:46.679 --> 00:07:48.279 The Authentics 200 is a great option 192 00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:49.729 But if even that feels too big 193 00:07:49.729 --> 00:07:51.729 or too powerful for your needs 194 00:07:51.729 --> 00:07:52.959 For those who think like that 195 00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.760 I also brought a speaker in the 100,000 KRW ($70) range that makes a great gift 196 00:07:55.760 --> 00:07:57.839 Harman Kardon LUNA 197 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.679 The design features a balanced mix of fabric and metal 198 00:08:00.679 --> 00:08:03.399 with smooth, rounded curves that give it a clean and cute look 199 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.959 It's compact, about the size of a hot dog 200 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:07.590 Depite it's portability 201 00:08:07.590 --> 00:08:09.619 The output is relatively high at 40W 202 00:08:09.619 --> 00:08:11.980 It features a configuration of one tweeter, two passive radiators 203 00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:15.220 and one racetrack driver unit 204 00:08:15.220 --> 00:08:18.019 Listening to it, the overall impression was clean 205 00:08:18.019 --> 00:08:21.260 The bass felt more solid than deep, leaving a strong impression 206 00:08:21.260 --> 00:08:23.420 It offers up to 12 hours of playback 207 00:08:23.420 --> 00:08:26.540 and supports IP67 waterproof and dustproof features, which is great 208 00:08:26.540 --> 00:08:29.470 Even for those who aren't music enthusiasts or experts 209 00:08:29.470 --> 00:08:30.980 everyone knows Harman Kardon 210 00:08:30.980 --> 00:08:32.859 It's perfect for housewarming gift 211 00:08:32.859 --> 00:08:34.630 Since it’s winter, I didn’t want you 212 00:08:34.630 --> 00:08:37.260 to miss out on music-ready earmuffs 213 00:08:37.280 --> 00:08:40.400 so I brought the AKG N9 Hybrid as well 214 00:08:40.400 --> 00:08:42.130 This product was released in June this year 215 00:08:42.130 --> 00:08:44.880 (As of 12/10 on the Samsung JBL Online Store) The price is 349,000 KRW ($244) based on the lowest price 216 00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:48.640 AKG is a brand known for producing great sound quality 217 00:08:48.640 --> 00:08:51.400 When you listen to the sound, it feels like the high-quality sound of premium headphones 218 00:08:51.400 --> 00:08:54.359 With the recent trend of high-end headphones becoming more mainstream 219 00:08:54.359 --> 00:08:56.119 this price feels reasonable 220 00:08:56.119 --> 00:08:58.080 It comes in two colors, white and black 221 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:02.000 Usually, headphones don't come in such pure white 222 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.370 It matches perfectly with snow 223 00:09:03.370 --> 00:09:06.409 So, it fits well with a white Christmas concept 224 00:09:06.409 --> 00:09:07.659 What's unique about this product is 225 00:09:07.659 --> 00:09:12.410 that inside the right earcup, there's a hidden 2.4GHz USB-C dongle 226 00:09:12.410 --> 00:09:15.739 Typically, you have to carry dongles separately, making them easy to lose 227 00:09:15.739 --> 00:09:18.140 but it's convenient to store it within the headphones 228 00:09:18.140 --> 00:09:20.820 So, what’s the benefit of having this dongle? 229 00:09:20.820 --> 00:09:23.780 The signal reception is fast and stable, ensuring no interruptions 230 00:09:23.780 --> 00:09:27.500 You can enjoy lossless high-resolution audio even in wireless mode 231 00:09:27.500 --> 00:09:28.750 For reference, it supports codecs 232 00:09:28.750 --> 00:09:31.219 like SBC, AAC, and LDAC 233 00:09:31.219 --> 00:09:32.979 (AKG only app) It also supports True Adaptive Noise Cancelling 234 00:09:32.979 --> 00:09:35.580 and AKG Spatial Audio 235 00:09:35.599 --> 00:09:37.409 The battery lasts up to 100 hours 236 00:09:37.409 --> 00:09:38.960 (When using the dongle, it lasts 85 hours) The battery life is incredibly long 237 00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:42.320 Of course, there are other models with 100-hour battery life 238 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:45.119 but in such cases, the sound quality didn’t feel as good 239 00:09:45.119 --> 00:09:46.619 When I listened, the resolution felt superior 240 00:09:46.619 --> 00:09:48.520 compared to other products 241 00:09:48.520 --> 00:09:49.670 It's rare to find a product 242 00:09:49.670 --> 00:09:51.280 with such high-resolution sound quality 243 00:09:51.280 --> 00:09:52.480 a built-in dongle 244 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.000 and extended battery life 245 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:55.700 For those who don’t want what everyone else has 246 00:09:55.700 --> 00:09:57.479 but still want an excellent product 247 00:09:57.479 --> 00:09:59.039 there’s no reason not to buy this 248 00:10:02.479 --> 00:10:05.380 Portable Bluetooth speakers come in various designs 249 00:10:05.380 --> 00:10:08.260 but they often lack power or sound quality 250 00:10:08.260 --> 00:10:10.340 The reason is that they are portable, after all 251 00:10:10.340 --> 00:10:12.260 Even though the battery time isn’t that long 252 00:10:12.260 --> 00:10:14.700 it has a great sound effect 253 00:10:14.700 --> 00:10:17.360 and its iconic design in white color 254 00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.260 is good for a home decor 255 00:10:20.260 --> 00:10:24.419 Authentics 300 is the only model with handle and embedded battery 256 00:10:24.419 --> 00:10:27.000 Considering the output for its size 257 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.809 it’s definitely a great option to buy as a portable speaker 258 00:10:29.809 --> 00:10:32.499 They also update to newest firmware version 259 00:10:32.499 --> 00:10:34.190 through its own app 260 00:10:34.190 --> 00:10:37.760 I think this is great for either Christmas or New Years gift 261 00:10:37.760 --> 00:10:40.089 It’s a bit disappointing that it doesn’t have waterproof and dustproof rating 262 00:10:40.089 --> 00:10:42.500 It would be great if they released 263 00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:44.719 a variety of vibrant colors, like the JBL L100 264 00:10:44.719 --> 00:10:46.400 I also showed you the Harman Kardon LUNA 265 00:10:46.400 --> 00:10:49.320 and AKG N9 hybrid 266 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:51.749 But I'll be doing more detailed review of those later 267 00:10:51.749 --> 00:10:53.840 This is for today’s video 268 00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:55.440 (all_it studio Subscribe & Like & Turn on notification) and if you have any questions about these products 269 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:56.840 please leave them in the comment 270 00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:58.719 See you next time 271 00:10:58.719 --> 00:11:00.440 Bye!! 272 00:11:01.477 --> 00:11:05.926 Subscribe EP Abi / Producer Shootdolee / Video Editor Shortning
