New Video: 4 Studio, 3 Wireless Headphones, 1 Surprise - Testing quality and could we sleep in them?

Sat, 08 Jun 2019 00:00:00 +0000

This was a pretty spontanous production inspired by a big clean-up operation by our special camera guy and editor Sylvio from Granmidia. He found lots of headphones used for studio production and thought we could give it a spin and maybe a funny twist here in the IoTempire. I threw in a couple of my own as well as a little surprise, and we were ready to shoot. Unfortunately, it got a little longer than expected, but we think there are still lots of funny moments to explore.
