I bought the WORST Tech from Best Buy 

Air purifiers are meant to remove pollutants in the air that cause allergic reactions, that's why it will still smell almost as strongly as normal, if not the same or even stronger, because it isn't meant to remove smells, just the pollutants.

The problem with android tablets is that there are a lot of them that are just awful but they are cheap and you figure if you're just going to watch RU-vid on it then it should be ok, but when they can't even do RU-vid out of the box with the version of android they shipped with then it wasn't worth the money you spent on it regardless of how cheap it was.

I have the link buds and use them all the time. They are great for listening to music at work as they do not interfere with ambient sound and are light enough to leave in even when not actively using them. The sound is natural and open. If they fit in your ears, they are awesome. I use the 1000mx4 for immersion and noise cancelling, the linkbuds for when I need to be aware of my surroundings.

I have the Link Buds! They are good for hiking safety. When coyotes, Javelina, rattlesnakes and random strange people on trails in the middle of nowhere are a concern, then it’s important to be able to hear your surroundings. This allows the option of both. They definitely aren’t perfect though. 👍

The Dyson headphones were on WOOT recently for 2 or 3 hundred bucks. Austin you should do mystery tech from WOOT.

Did anyone else catch that piece of glitter stuck to buddys eyelid in the Ad segment at 3:24? Lmao

As someone who likes to use their earphones at work to drown out potential harsh noises, but still need to listen to the outside world (I'm a service engineer), those linkbuds would actually suit me.

10:29 was nuts 😂

I got the linkbuds after you guys reviewed them about a year or so ago. I was looking for some headphones for phonecalls and podcast while biking and they sounded like a safer choice when out in traffick. I pretty much agree with everything you say about them here, but for podcasts and audiobooks theyre perfectly fine. Call quality is fine aswell unless its windy. I will still say theyre worth it if you bike and value safety over sound quality though. 7:55

on the topic of optiplexes, due to my work (e-waste) there are a lot of companies who buy the salvaged desktops(that arent completely ancient) from us and end up skinning them. part of the reason is competers that get returned from some big business, government or school organizations often put a lot of stickers on them, and sticker removal and age really does damage to the case, so the sane choice to make them look "new" is to put a skin on them essentially.

Those Dyson headphones make it look like you are wearing a prop from a Star Wars movie. One of the aliens in one of the movies was wearing something similar.

Joy is a refurbisher that used to work almost exclusively with tiger direct. They ran afoul of Microsoft licensing issues, and after fixing that started branching out. This information is ten years old. I lost track of them a long time ago.

I used to have that PC and it used to run the elder scrolls four oblivion fucking phenomenally.

you know that dyson headphone was made during covid but came out too late and marketing had to adapt now that it’s over

I do love to see all of the Austin review all of these pretty questionable tech items but I would really love it if they did like the worst they found as well as what they might recommend that has the same "features" that actually do what they're claiming to as well as maybe where they found the best prices.

Yeah, the polaroid tablet I bought a long ass time ago was terrible too. I didn't have high hopes for that cam.

The linkbuds are perfect if you are biking or running so that you can here trafic.

One thing that I found out with most cheap tablets is that it does have an SD card slot. But is useless. Because you can't move apps from the internal storage. Because they are using a modified version of Android operating system and that was removed from the OS. It is the same with cheaper smart phones also.

Those Link Buds are great for specific uses. Like jogging or bicycle riding, so you can still hear traffic and people around you. Not so great for a bus or airplane. I've got something similar specifically for when I'm riding my bicycle, but I think they are around $15, makes the music quality much easier to deal with! Great for poscasts though, where sound quality isn't so important.

If you're on an ultra-budget you can throw a Xeon 1230 into those Optiplexes and get i7 speeds, just no integrated graphics, bang a GTX1050 in there and wa-hey you've got a midrange, can-handle-2016-and-back AAA games at 1080p gaming rig for around $120 if not less.

If Mryeester was there he would definitely keep the Dyson headphones on for all his videos 😂

I bought that exact camera for a trip I was going on. (Some church camp) it was horrible fps. Not only that but when I got home I put it up and when I went to go check it the screen was broken. It was never dropped or anything. I then broke it the rest of the way out of anger

9:55 really got me sitting up straight.. I took offence when Austin said who sits like this?? 🤣🤣

I actually really like my linkbuds lol but I totally understand the rating for your review. Like everyone is saying, it’s great for outdoor activities when needing to hear your surroundings is preferable.

The Z Flip 3 aside from wearing-prone hinge and kinda hot Snapdragon 888 is still having some value especially as a nice sidekick phone. And it can still be updated to Android 14 and 15 later in the future, and fwiw the later revisions of Android is actually will be very oldspec friendly

I own the Sony Linkbuds and I love them! I drive a bus and need to make phone calls/listen to podcasts while driving and they are perfect because I can hear my audio and my surroundings! They are light and comfortable with decent sound quality. I do prefer my air pods pro sound quality but I can't wear them while driving without losing the safety. Definitely have a neish market of people but 100% worth it for those people! 😊 Plus I paid $55 for them in the target clearance section!

I wanted to like the Linkbuds but they didn't fit. Got a set of the Oladance Open Ear things and they are perfect for what I needed. I wanted something I could wear out on a walk in the city. Passthrough modes on other earbuds just weren't cutting it. I only really listen to podcasts so audio quality for music isn't a big deal. Those tablets are e-waste from the factory. Sucks when the build quality and features aren't awful but are so slow its impossible to use the device. I'd love to see Best Buy just not sell them as a push for manufacturers to not make them.

the link buds serve a purpose. I wouldn't want them as my only set, but when you are jogging,biking, working near a road or in an office setting they allow you to wear SOMETHING vs nothing. You really can't compare them to other earbuds on sound quality alone.

I luckily got the sony linkbuds for free thru work. They are not worth $130+ but they are nice when you dont want a silicone plug in your ear hole 😂 They actually fit me pretty well.

The Dyson headphones remind me of Saw with the reverse bear trap!

Austin reviewed the same Sony link buds on a mystery tech and gave them a great 🎉🎉🎉

Just started on my Xmas tree merry Christmas everyone

love ur vidssssss keep going

“who sits in a chair like this?” *i slowly sit back* … YEA WHO EVEN SITS LIKE THAT?

19:41 Austin: Do you see that line? Me: No? Austin: Can you see that line right there? Me: WTF you talking about? It's just white to me.

The link buds are awesome for office spaces.

Nobody Grandma: give that to my grandchildren for Christmas

Do you have anything on the backbone controllers??

That Polaroid camera was Gold!

$550 for a zflip 3 is just insane especially considering the burned in screen...i purchased a used (mint condition minus sticker adhesive on the back glass that was easily removed lol) zflip 3 in the weird teal color quite literally four days ago for $240 Canadian LMAO😂

16:00 I love my Superglide glass mousepad

Those Dyson Zones were def made and designed during covid thinking people would need purifiers for office work. Just too slow to market but would have killed it mid covid or at least subzero cosplay

Astin Evans, the Dyson discount Antman.. :D

Austin This is very good when you uploud 2-3 days thats very goooooooooooddd

That Polaroid action came with a cream rate actually looks better in the picture does underwater

okay the dry erase bit was solid

The blow up pillow is just like a boppie!

7:35 looks like a free headgear you get in an online game for 14 days

I am in the Caribbean and I had the unfortunate experience of purchasing a Hyundai tablet. Returned it in less than 24hrs. I will never buy any device with a Unisoc SOC.

6:00 is that Ned from the new spider-man lol

The scuff pillow is more made for controller gaming rather than mobile o think. I can't promise that cuz I've never seen that specific item before but I just saw an item like that yesterday that was made for laying back a bit and letting ur arms rest while using a controller lol

I can tell you that my Microsoft Surface Duo's hinge feels as good today as it did when I bought it.

The $90 tablet has smaller bezel than ipads 💀💀💀

Love your vids

The Sony Linkbuds are good for people who want listen to music while riding a bicycle. You can listen to your music and hear the traffic around you at the same time.

Wow never tried that. I have a glass desk so I tried my Logitech mouse on it and sure enough, my mouse tracks perfectly. If it wasn't for the wrist rest on my mouse pad I'd do away with my mouse pad and just use my desk as it's pretty cool for people to ask me how my mouse works without a pad on glass.

Dyson vacuum cleaners have always known to be expensive so it doesn’t surprise me that if they came out with headphones, they would be over minimum $300.

One man's worst tech is another man's treasure.

moving that face "mask" looks super satisfying

You can use mouseball mice for the glass... because everyone has one of those still! lol

The Link Buds are definitely a middle of the road product, you're going to either like them or hate them. I have a pair myself and love them because they're perfect for the space in which I use them: an office where I need to be able to hear my phone, codes over the loudspeaker and my co-workers. They're also great when I go out shopping at the store and the mall for the same reason. I think this was Sony's original intention for the design, people that commute on a train or work in an office and need to hear what is going on around them. I would never trade them for something like the other Sony LinkBuds, Samsung Galaxy Buds or Apple Airpods because their "transparency" modes kind of suck. A small microphone piping in sound from the outside world to your ear will never replace your true ability to hear unless you have eardrum damage.

Hey question so I optimize my pc and I feel like my fps is worse than before should I reset the settings or play on my Xbox series x

I got a pair of linkbuds last year and use them all the time to and from work

I had a digiland tablet from Best buy that I think cost me like $70. It was horribly slow and couldn't do much besides what I bought it for, to stream media. Although I had to use a Bluetooth speaker with it (already owned) as the built in speakers were terrible and it used micro USB to charge which was kind of annoying as every other charger I use is type-c. But for $70 and I got 2-3 years out of so totally worth it for me and it's still going as a media player for my 3 year old niece. Cheap tablets are not good, but if they fit a extremely basic need then they are totally worth it.

Which brand of speakers did Dyson use in their headphones?

That's a chopping board. 🤣

Those 3020 Dells are getting too slow for web browsing right now on Windows, let alone gaming. Workplaces are tossing them to salvagers and these "refurbishers" buy them for nothing.

I have a cheap glass mouse pad from amazon. The surface has a honeycomb pattern etched into it and it's been great. Smooth glass would be terrible though.

i just wanna know wherer the christmas tree at austin

that glass mousepad looks terrible, it needs a super minimal texture or something for that to really work as well as not being fully clear. glass pads are actually really good for gaming imo if you get one from a brand that does them properly, like skypad or pulsar.

I paid $250 for that desktop around 4 years ago....my god it's so slow 😂 But it works.

Good stuff. But why Hyundai tab?

Austin needs to do the worst reviewed products at microcenter

That youtube burn in on the z flip 3 is crazy. How much youtube did they watch to get that and even weirder is that they seemed to only watch youtube in portrait mode, who does that!?

what is up with digital cameras / web cams / cheap phones and saying they are 4k when they look like 720p at 30fps? Are they just upscaling the shitty quality footage to 4K or does it actually have something to do with the sensor? Like is it possible to have a 4k sensor that looks THAT bad?

With the dyson thing I feel like we should challenge Austin to Mortal Kombat.

I got the Samsung 6 lite tablet this black Friday. It was very cheap and wasn't bad at playing RU-vid at all. Need to buy a case that acts as a stand before it's great but it's not a waste of money for sure.

The link buds are hands down my favorite earbuds. They're absolutely unmatched for ambient music, especially at low volume, which is 90% of my music listening experience. I have a second set of headphones for the other 10% when I want to detach. I think they're misunderstood, which is a shame because we'll probably never get an updated version. I'll have to keep mine forever.

I call bull on the Dyson sound quality. Without the purifier they sound pretty damn good

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a device crash during setup like that android tablet did 😂

lol that Polaroid camera is like the mixer that my parents bought off of Amazon literally not as advertised. In the advertisement for the mixer, it says it holds up to 12 cups but in reality when you have it in your hand, it says holds up to 8 cups on it but it’s advertised for 12 cups lol. Now I put my detective deep thinking hat on just like Austin and I zoomed into the picture of the container for the mixer and it says 8 cups, but then in the description it advertises as 12 cups. Oh lord somebody help me because my brain is going into overtime with how dumb this is and this product is reviewed around a 4.5 star rating and it feels cheap as hell

You could literally get a minisforum or another kind of NUC sized PC that would beat the optiplex in gaming or ANYTHING else for the same price. That price for an old PC like that is getting robbed.

My ears start hurting very fast on normal in-ear headphones. Linkbuds never hurt, they feel comfy. Sound is obviously worse than a sealed one, but it does what its supposed to do. If I wanna hear better quality music i can do that with another headphones.

Austin Evans is a my Best Buy plus member confirmed

Ummm sounds like defaults need to be adjusted for the Hyundai tablet timers for things too , should be fine did dual core Mali 200 to Quad core Mali 450 should be perfect for all android os versions

I bought an AMD Radeon RX 6700 from Best buy once, not a bad budget card at all, it could play rdr2 at Ultra settings no problem

damn, right time, left lick

Best buy did a DK Oldies on the Octiplex 😂

Austin, if you wear that cactus shirt, you're required to wear a cowboy hat, preferably white. 🐮

finally the dyson headphones

The Dyson headphones were a year too late... If they looked back to the pandemic, they'd see maybe 3 companies tried something similar and all of them flopped from a lack of interest. These ones are just cool because they have a logo on them. That's basically it. Just wear a facemask outside if you suffer that badly from hay fever, not ideal but it works, and it looks a LOT less stupid.

Re the Dyson headphones and you saying "mediocre sound quality, it's totally fine"... sorry but that's not fine in a 950 dollar set. The only reason for headphones to even exist is that they offer phenomenal sound quality in a comfortable and easy to handle form factor, with often vastly superior sound quality to stereo systems in the same price range. Headphones that nearly cost a 1000 dollars and then can't even manage to put a smile on your face with their sound are just one thing: E-Waste.

Bane voice: "No one cared who I was until I put on the Dyson headphones."

Damn. I got a Z Flip 3 for $200 last year from Best Buy. Brand new.

"Mediocre sound quality. Not bad. Not offensive.Totally fine." Just what I'm looking for in $750 headphones!

Im gonna be completely honest, whenever refurbished products were viewed any damages on like a case, or the back of a device were brought up it annoyed me. Refurbished products are usually fixed software wise and the internals are the main physical focus. Most companies refurbishing something wint worry about less important parts ie the pc case or back of a phone that mist people will put a case on anyays. I mean no disrespect but i just feel like that should have been mentioned.

So harsh on the link buds! For the right user they're game changing!

It's been a long time since I've watched the main channel. I normally watch " This Is" with Austin and Matt. I stopped watching the main channel for a while, as I am not a fan of ken, and it seems like anytime there is something he is interested in during one of the shows on the main channel, it's like he inserts himself into it and starts trying to take over. That's why I haven't subscribed to his channel. I don't necessarily have a problem with the guy, I just don't find his commentary entertaining. But I like some of the new shows that are showing up here on the main channel, so I'll start watching again. I really like the mystery Tech.

Theyre out there selling a 3020 with a 4th gen intel based system. Wonder if theyre letting people know the system is 10 years old.

Microsoft ARC mouse works on clear glass and it's not that expensive of a mouse. You just need a mouse with a blue laser.
