yeah
hey whats up guys and can be HD here there is all kinds of stuff at CES
gadgets everywhere
check in every direction to look at and play with and lots of people but amongst
all the chaos i can tell you that there is for sure at least a little bit of
dope tech so this is dope tech from CES 2016
first of all there are not a whole lot of new smartphones at CES anymore the
most noteworthy new stuff i saw actually came from Huawei who randomly showed up
with a gold nexus 6p which is such a subtle gold but I guess totally still
gold and looks pretty good and their new while we made s which is the flagship
phone with a six inch display and a classic huawei skin on Android and
supposedly a two-day battery life but let's be real
I got a test that before I trust the number in any way i did get to stop by
Jaybirds booth to get a look at their new bluetooth earbuds which are the
jaybird freedom and x3 the x3 are a single color matte finish with the new
colors and the freedom are an even smaller super lightweight bud for the
ear but itself is super small and then there's a four hour battery in the
controller that can be extended by another little wireless charger that
holds four more hours away what's really dope about these is the adjustable sound
so jay bird will have a my sound app that you can install on your phone and
you can adjust the eq to your liking so if you want more base you can do that
more trouble whatever you like and then you save it as a preset now that would
normally be kind of lame but you don't need the app anymore after you're done
with this
so it's not happening through the app you're actually modifying the firmware
in the earbuds so you can move them over and pair them to something else your
ipad another phone whatever you want and i'll still sound like that preset you
made that is pretty sick all right so CES is often about the pixels not gonna
lie but when i saw that even nikon dropped a DSLR that shoots 4k video
I was kind of surprised that's big for them I kind of saw it as potential
youtube gear nikon D 500 is a huge improvement for them in video shoots 4k
video has an articulating LCD on the back
audio input for a mic hdmi out I mean it was nice
a great distraction actually from their way more expensive but also kind of
disappointing
d 5 which on paper should have been nice you know full frame and 4k video but
turns out it only shoots that 4k for up to three minutes and it doesn't even use
the whole full frame that is not dope tech
oh and i can also showed off a fork a 360-degree GoPro like action camera
complete with accessories and it kind of looks like they really do care about
video again
so all these 4k cameras have been getting smaller and smaller and smaller
and Panasonic shows up at this point with a fork a point and shoot which
reminded me of a certain sony camera i have raved about the rx100 so the
panasonics . shoot
they've got a viewfinder and articulating LCD a programmable ring
around the lens just like the rx100 and she is 4k video and it's all in a body
that's just slightly bigger than the rx100 so I'd say this has the potential
to be just as good of a running gun camera especially if it doesn't overheat
like the rx100 in 4k and especially for people who need dad zoom
trust me the lens is impressive before k for k is everywhere
everyone who makes the screen has a 4k TV at CES and this is one of those years
that again only a few just a few have an 8k TV and not gonna lie i saw one that
didn't even look that good but i think it was because they were playing like
upscale 1080p content or something like I literally don't think they had any AK
video to show but the killer for me here was the LG ninety eight inch 8k TV
Jesus looks good i mean it's just pictures it's just a slide show
but it looks so good like many of the things at CES had no price tag no
release date and I was actually fine for me here the desire is real
the TV look incredibly detailed and then there was this
this would be the 8k TV of audio the sennheiser Orpheus is a
fifty-thousand-dollar audio listening experience
now i'm sure the difference in sound between this fifty thousand dollar pair
of headphones and a five-thousand-dollar pair of headphones is probably not
significant but i can tell you the experience is the thing is nested in a
block of solid marble when you turn it on the tubes from the
tube amp literally raised up from the case and start to glow as a warm up the
cables are like ropes on the headphones themselves are pretty huge but not
actually all that heavy and listening to them even though I didn't get to pick
the songs was awesome
you can check out the tod today channel for an entire video just on trying to
listen to these trying to headphones on a couple of a youtuber is getting a
first listen bottom line is it was pretty awesome my one word summary of
the listening experience clean so clean
I called the a ktv of audio because let's be honest there's got to be the
content to even take advantage of it and that pretty much doesn't exist yet but
of course there were all kinds of other tvs at CES and they all have their own
acronyms to 4k HDR super UHD 4k TV
yeah let's just say the best TV in my opinion was
LG's g6 super clean modern design with all the electronics in the stand is very
thin bezels and an incredible 4k OLED image of course all sorts of other
little nuggets of dope tech around the show floor showed up at CES
audio-technica drop their ath a 990-ez wasn't doing for about 30 seconds but i
need to again here my own music on them to make my own judgment here and
everyone had tablets at the show
normal sized tablets to massive borderline TV size tablet that's an 18
inch samsung tablet and then super high-tech appliances
trust me this doesn't seem interesting but as a person who's in the market for
a refrigerator
these are hot and Kodak is also making a super 8 film camera bringing back the
process and the ability to shoot film so i was pretty cool to see DJ I made a
stealthy black version of the inspire one which looks like an absolute badass
and there's also now a phantom 3 that shoots 4k so the drone game is clearly
being stepped up and Griffin showed up with one of my favorite things
a magsafe USB type-c charger so you 12 inch macbook users are probably thinking
damn this is exactly what Apple should have included in the packaging
we have Griffin went out and made it and I couldn't be happier it works great
plus you can add mac safe to other USBC devices that didn't even have
in the first place and then there were the cars the real ones and the concepts
are both there so the four GT for example looked awesome
obviously there are plenty of other great looking real cars all over the
show floor
Chevy bolt showed up as in my opinion the first actual rival to Tesla see here
that the headlines all the time
I'm sorry future how but this is a real vehicle that's being made and at under
forty thousand books will have a 200-mile electric range so that's pretty
cool concept cars i put a little bit less stock in even if they are dope tech
like the crazy Mercedes concept self-driving car that was there but the
BMW i8 spyder was there and doorless and all look pretty cool
and then there was the Faraday future car yeah it was there but you know
there you go CES is always quite the experience you don't really go to CES to
see the gadget you're going to buy in a store tomorrow you go to CES to catch a
glimpse of the future and sometimes you spot some dope tech along the way
needless to say i will be back thanks for watching
I'll talk to you as the next one basement
