hey guys a from Elijah Gadget Hunter
0:08
here with camac now normally I don't
0:10
feature uh bag companies companies that
0:13
make iPad cases in these types of videos
0:16
but I ran past the hex Booth we featured
0:17
hex on culac um at least a couple times
0:20
and you guys came out with a cool bag
0:22
last year um that integrated an iPad
0:24
into the front of the bag so you could
0:26
like watch the iPad as you're like
0:28
cruising along the street right so they
0:30
make uh bags uh MacBook bags iPad cases
0:33
and you guys just came out with some new
0:34
bags and some new headphones and one of
0:37
the things I really like about hex is
0:39
you guys are really design um minded so
0:41
when you guys build a product it usually
0:43
looks really good so I'm here with Trent
0:45
valeris Trent valeris who's going to
0:47
tell us about hex and the new stuff that
0:49
you guys came out with this year totally
0:51
let's start with this really cool bag
0:53
back here which I passed and I was like
0:55
o that's awesome all right so really
0:57
kind of like spelt um we got in the shot
1:00
yeah that's good enough you can block my
1:02
face no one wants to see
1:03
that and um tell us a little bit about
1:06
this bag here Trent all right well this
1:08
is our Gallery collection this is uh
1:11
called the origin backpack and you can
1:13
see right from the beginning uh
1:14
obviously black is a is a very popular
1:16
color probably the best color uh but we
1:18
didn't want to do just regular black so
1:20
we actually work this material up
1:21
ourselves get a nice high low textile um
1:24
good texture to it and made that weave
1:26
ourselves for our bag so that's a lot of
1:27
what we'll do is we'll really think
1:29
about what do we want want to have
1:30
happen and how do we get it right how do
1:32
we make sure that every piece and every
1:33
detail of the product is is correct so
1:36
that's the the shell of it we we
1:37
integrate um fleece lined uh iPad
1:40
Pockets into the front of all of our oh
1:42
wow that's nice yeah yeah nice Navy
1:44
lining coated canvas uh accents genuine
1:47
leather zipper pulls and the same thing
1:49
in here nice uh logo lining in Navy with
1:52
the fleece lined uh laptop compartment
1:54
organizer uh all the good stuff uh
1:57
padded you know bartacked uh shoulder
1:59
straps and just the idea is to really
2:01
give you something that's a very quality
2:02
uh piece that really functions but also
2:05
is uh you know premium fashion which is
2:07
always a part of hex's DNA and then you
2:09
guys came out with some headphones too
2:11
right yeah um why don't we take a look
2:13
at some of those snakeskin ones how
2:15
about those ones right there sounds good
2:17
so this is your first Venture into the
2:19
headphone market so tell me what's
2:21
different about yours well I think what
2:23
we what we found was that uh again just
2:25
like all of our products we focus on
2:27
being fashion as well as being premium
2:29
and quality and we just felt like there
2:31
was a there was a space in in the
2:32
industry there we wanted to integrate
2:34
our signature hex textiles like Leathers
2:37
uh this is a you know a crocco leather
2:39
uh with the bronze detailing we wanted
2:42
it to sound really well myself as well
2:43
as my my uh partner who's a co-founder
2:46
uh were both musicians and so we really
2:49
wanted them to sound great we wanted
2:50
them to look great and and have a lot of
2:52
um you know a lot of design features
2:54
built into them we just felt like it's
2:56
it's either made to look kind of cool or
2:57
it's made to sound really good uh and we
3:00
find that space in in all of our bags
3:02
it's either um you know it's either
3:03
looks good or it works good and we
3:05
wanted it to be to be both so we spent a
3:07
lot of time tuning uh you know tuning
3:09
the sound of the headphones figuring out
3:11
how to wrap them properly uh designing
3:13
all the features uh you know into them
3:15
all the different articulation joints um
3:18
you know Comfort padding lightweight
3:21
durability they sound good too I
3:22
listened to them earlier and you guys
3:24
have some great videos playing on those
3:25
little iPad minis that's right yeah it's
3:28
it's got to sound good right otherwise
3:29
we know what's the point and we we have
3:31
some uh some great details as far as
3:32
like on our on our over ears we do a you
3:35
know see if you can see this but a 15°
3:38
access in the axis in the ear cup so
3:40
that you can actually wear them looking
3:42
right outside but they fit properly
3:44
anatomically on your ear that's actually
3:46
a patent pending feature for us oh wow I
3:48
like the wrap you guys have on these too
3:50
yeah a lot of great looking stuff and
3:52
you designed this material as you said
3:53
right you guys designed the materials
3:55
you kind of figure out what you want
3:56
them to look like and then you design
3:57
them for your products correct yeah
3:59
definitely unique angle definitely
4:01
unique angle we we do all the
4:02
colorations do all the designs sometimes
4:04
it's it's a weave sometimes it's a print
4:06
or a stripe uh you know but definitely
4:08
all the way from the ground up we're
4:10
looking at making sure every detail is
4:11
right and it's and it's to our
4:13
specifications so safe to say if you
4:15
like those super high tops maybe that
4:16
