You know, I was planning to skip the rap when it started playing because I thought it would be pretty cringy to watch. But it was actually brilliant! Certainly made my morning :) I could tell you put some time into the lyrics and the acting was pretty awesome too. It was a nice little bit of satire too :D

I don't blame 'em

heh.I actually spent an embarrassing amount of time writing the lyrics for this thing. I had originally intended for it to be like 1 verse and then record scratch out to the real review, but it ended up being a minute long :P

Quiescent is a word. It means inactive or dormant. Them using it is pretty much akin to that kid in your 10th grade English class going on thesaurus.com and replacing random words with pretentious words they can't pronounce in an effort to make his shitty, half-plagiarized essay appear decent, though.

homghomghomg you replied! Gotta hide my excitement!!!

It's funny that the lyrics were entirely sarcastic. 

Good video (thumbs up)

Also: was that you in the suit? It only fits you doesn't it?

xD nice .Though if I click an uncensored video I expect the whole thing to not be censored :P

 

 

To be honest, if you have $200 to spend on headphones, go with something like Audio Technica ATH-M50x's. They have all the features like swivel cups, and everything. But they're studio monitors so they're more flat in the EQ. I realize people aren't always fans of that but, equalizers exist imo and you can tweak the sound rather nicely on em. I use the older M50's (not x) before they had the interchangable cable and the "x" model comes with a cable that's actually designed to be used for people that want to take their expensive headphones outside. And they look pretty cool.

About the only bad thing imo is they don't have a microphone attachment I can get to make them into a headset.

I love it when Linus is annoyed by shitty products.

 

It just makes the channel feel genuinely relatable.

why do so many good cases only come in black and white

@LinusTech

I own a pair of these! , well I bought them for my dad for his Birthday! but ... I did not pay very much

 

In the UK (when I got them) they were about £130 ($218)

 

But in my store where I worked we had a few go clearance.....

 

and what did I pay?

 

£20 - $33 USD :P

 

So for £20...they are reasonable, but I would not have paid any more for them. I do find them comfy as hell, but the free apple headphones are better than these for audio, even my 64 year old technophile father agrees

This is awesome Linus! From time to time this is a great change of tone!

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

I laughed out loud when Linus said exactly what I was thinking after the rap. "what the hell did I just watch?"

Well played.

Also great video, you need to do more videos like this about crappy products, just to go crazy and do funny stuff. :D

This is the best review that I've seen in some time.

 

Please get us the rap without voice change.

Yet another example supporting my argument that we need to support natural selection more.

 

 

Hilarious video. I like the walk of shame at the end. However the review seems a teensy bit pointless, since most intelligent people would expect anything with "by fity" on it to be shit to begin with. Still, always awesome to see Linus completely demolish a product.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs
