| 0:00.0 | Well, it's finally here. My first Quebec case, the case that I decided to put on my schedule |
| 0:07.3 | last summer and has been hanging over my head all this time. Quebec people, I know there's a few |
| 0:13.8 | of you listening. I apologize it's taken me so long to get around to you. The honest truth is that I |
| 0:20.6 | kept putting this case off because after |
| 0:23.1 | I did Robert Picton, I felt completely burned out. When I decide to do these massive, well-known |
| 0:29.6 | cases, cases that many people request and other podcasts have covered, I put a lot of pressure on |

| 1:30.5 | Now, as you know, I listen to podcasts a lot. After buying countless pairs of crappy earbuds from Amazon that cost far more than they were worth, |
| 1:35.6 | I was super happy to discover Studio Sweden, who create premium headphones with studio quality sound |
| 1:42.0 | and a classic Scandinavian design. |
| 1:45.0 | Their headphones include on-air, in-air and Bluetooth options, |
| 1:50.0 | all carefully crafted to be top-tier electronic products as well as a stylish accessory. |
| 1:56.0 | I am the proud owner of their latest innovation, the neither. These are true wireless Bluetooth headphones with a 10-meter range and a gorgeous minimalist design. |
| 2:07.6 | They have 3.5 hours worth of battery life and come with a cool little portable case with four full charges. |
