    Cool project, pretty pricey… Seems like a very niche market for something like this. Also, I agree with “ploopy” is a terrible name. Lol.

    I tried watching the video. I am genuinely interested but I couldn’t. The video is uncuted (edit: uncut*, my English is so bad) and very slow paced. After 10 minutes I gave up (50 minutes remaining).

    Maybe an other time or with an other video.

      I hope someone watches it and post a tl;dr here.

      I’m interested too, but I don’t understand why everything has to be a video (instead of something like a blog post) and don’t have an hour for that.

        God’s honest truth. 5 minutes of reading content gets stretched into 30 minutes of &$#@ video.

          Thank goodness

          I tried watching and even skipped around. " I keep mine in a bag, let me show you" then he gets up for a min, then he struggles with the bag. I searched for… you know… INFO ABOUT THE FUCKING HEADPHONES for maybe 5 min after watching for 3-5 min.

          Soon it was “welp, guess I’m not checking those out”

          I think this video is a extreme example of the problem.

          Its a one hour video bookended with statements that the author doesn’t have time to make a better video.

          0:00:15: Now I’ve written a lengthy script but I have no time to actually read it out correctly from memory so I think I’m just going to use it as notes and talk from the top of my head instead.
          …
          1:07:15: I’m kind of sad that I can’t do this review like better technically cuz i can’t afford to spend you know a month editing this video.

            There’s an old joke about how long it takes to prepare a talk in academia. Want an hour? I can do it right now. 30 minute presentation? I’ll need a few weeks. 10 minute presentation? Better give me one or two month lead time.

      “Uncuted”

      Seriously? Not only did you use a word that doesn’t exist, “uncutted”, but you also misspelt it. The word you’re trying to use is “uncut”

        I am so sorry, I am going to fix this. Also I am not one of the people who downvoted your comment. I like when people point at my mistakes. I am making a lot of those even in my native language.
