This episode is brought to you by OnePlus who just launched their new OnePlus Buds Pro three earlier this year.
You might have heard me talk about their last model, the OnePlus Buds three.
And while those are still really solid, this pro version contains a lot of new features that are definitely worth the upgrade.
I've been using them for a few weeks now and I've been really impressed.
Just like the buds three, the bass in these earbuds is super powerful, but in this model the treble is more crisp and precise than ever before.
All of my favorite music sounds great no matter the genre.
And if I ever want to fine tune the sound I can use the OnePlus hey melody app to choose a different EQ preset.
But its not just about the sound they make, its about the sound they block out.
OnePlus Buds Pro three block more sound than ever before with a brand new noise cancelling system.
Its one of the best ive used and its a big step up from the last version.
Ill break down these upgrades.
During the break you're listening to 20,000 hz.
I'm Dallas Taylor.
A few years ago I was locked into an anechoic chamber, which is one of the quietest places on earth.
While I was inside, I could hear my heart beat super clearly.
I could hear the blood rushing through my veins, and I could hear my digestive system.
Sounds like these contain critical information about our health.
That's 20,000 hz.
Producer Fran Bord.
Today there are all kinds of tools for capturing the sounds that our bodies make, but doctors have been listening to them for millennia.
