GAN: $17 for a cube with no magnets. Moyu: $17 for a cube with maglev, core magnets and UV coating.

This video might be saving countless father-son/father-daughter relationships. And I personally prefer cubes that don't betray me.

MoYu: I've finally surpassed Gan's overpricing! Gan: Hold my magnets. You can keep 'em. I don't need them.

Thank you for the honest review...you really saved my nephew from his tantrums forcing me to buy this GAN 356 Maglev and after showing this video to him, his mind, body & soul is at peace now 😂 😂 😂

What you said about cubes feeling really good when just spamming but when you do solves they make you mess up a lot is so true

I have the Gan 356 maglev. With a decent lube setup, but not too much, and on settings 2 and 5, the cube actually feels amazing. Corner cutting is also great. The auto alignment starts around the same place as a 12 or a 14 but the pull itself is not as strong, so it feels a lot calmer and more controllable. Honestly I think this is a massive sleeper cube and if people gave it a chance they would really love it.

i kinda actually like my 356 Maglev, and while it is my first actual speed cibe upgrading from the i Carry, I've compared it to my friends 12 and V9 I've found to actually like the auto udjustment especially with the M slice ironically. I feel like my M slice EPLLs just go faster than my mind can think with this cube. Maybe I'm not used to not having enough control but overshooting isn't a problem, but that's coming from someone who only acverages 15 (my times have decreased solely because of the M slice and S slices I use for some ZBLS/ZBLL). Massive sleeper. I liked my purchase but again I have some specific tastes and turning styles. As for other reports on the 356 Maglev, I've only heard good aside from this video: potentially being even better than the 14, Cubehead's review along with other GAN-affiliated propaganda (Tymon can avg 5 on everything). I do think that this could be flagship level especially if it did a better job than the 14 despite having 36 vs 1k+ combinations. Also I don't think magnet adjustment matters thaaaat much because according to everyone it doesn't make much of a difference at higher than 2 tps. SO buy it or don't, but do a little more research outside of this compilation of tihs cube slipping out of these guys's hands before completely throwing this one off the table. For my current setup I'm using 2-6 (I do agree with their point that only half of the travel distance settings are useful but nothing a little lube can't fix) with lunar/nebula and I might try 2-5 or 1-5 soon

by the way i love your content and the best cubes of 2023 really helped

Don't apologise for a negative review. If multiple cube manufacturers are trying to maximise profit while going through an identity crisis (and producing below par/overpriced cubes) then the review is warranted. The day you only make positive reviews is the day I stop trusting your opinion, so keep at it 👍

you are the best Phil

We had the same reaction on learning about the adjustment tool 😅

FINALLY NOW I CAN MAKE A DECISION

I bought an rs and magnetized it myself. I prefer it magnetized to my rs3m 2020 and my rs3m v5. I must say though it was a real pain in the neck to magnetize, they aren't the easy to take apart cubies, they are the tiny tab type, and on top of it all I got a drop of glue on a blue piece and it's ugly where I scraped it off. Feel wise though it's pretty great. Without magnets it was basically garbage.

but still not having any issues in my gan356 maglev. It performs very well ❤.

hey, what app are You guys using for timing ? is web version of csTimer or something else ? Thanks for the review!

The 356 Maglev is worth it. The GAN 14 with less settings which results cheaper.

I just bought the maglev and lots of other people say that it is amazing

I don’t know but I feel like people shouldn’t be making their decision after watching this video. Even when I was about to get my 356 maglev, I saw this video and due to which when I did my first turns, it was disappointing. I kept that cube aside for like a week or two. But then I thought of giving it a chance. Center piece travel on 1 and tension on 6 made it much better (and of course lubes) and right now I’m maining my 356 maglev. This cube has potential and gan cube at this price point is worth it. I’ve seen a lot of speedcubers switch to gan 356 maglev. My opinion is people should give it a try.

When are you getting the Gan I Carry 2?

I bought the 356 maglev and it tops most cubes but not the recent moyus.

I love the new stuffed animal in the background

This is why i like MoYu. MoYu gives you their flagship without jacking up the price so much.

I love the big plushie on ur left

I know I am late to the party but what app are you using for the scrambles?

The wobbly ness kinda helps the smooth 356 feel cus the rs is just the 356 baseplate

The gan 356 maglev needs set up but if u set it up it's top tier

Hello ... I want to speak about Gan Maglev : The cubicle Channel is the only one who said it wasn't worth it 🙄 Im going to try this cube soon ... And im pretty sure the cube you tried isn't that baad , all youtubers gave good resume about it 😮 Plz don't listen to this video , the cube is worth and you can go watch other videos .

PHILS voice is so soothing

0:28 of course you had to put a minecraft sound in 🤣

I bought the 356M and it overturning like crazy. I also didn’t get the UV Version and the frosted plastic doesn’t have any grip. My times were really bad compared to my standards. I can’t recommend it at all. Rs3m V5 is so much better and it’s even cheaper.

how do you make for the app recognise the cube touch????

I wonder if this review turned out the same way a few years earlier when Magnets in Cubes weren’t that common. Turning style has changed and that’s why going back feels so awkward.

Gan 15 idea. Lets make the WHOLE cube made of magnet

dang it... wanted to try a gan cube for a long time and bought the maglev over the 12 just 2 days ago >.

What app are you using to track your time?

If you think about it,isnt it just a gan 12 but the center adjustment is easier? Idk if you can adjust the corner magnets tho like the gan 12

Thank you as always for making decision choosing cubes, But a question? Does the cheap price of this GAN cube has affected your solving or this is really non competitive to other maglev GAN cubes or Moyu cubes?

wow that feels good

Really want this cube

Phil: My goal is to get a 10, me to bro, me to

I needed this review. But still don't know if should I buy weilong v9 bc, tornado v3 pioneer or rs3 v5 bc

I bought the gan 11 m pro for €24 with a black friday deal somehow lol

I have used this cube for more than 3 months and the corner core magnet dislodge twice. Not sure whether it is only the cube that I bought has this problem or others may also have.

what timer app is that?

10:37 that roast hahaha 😂

Coping Cubehead with that knife

So, wehn will we get Benmajins to buy? ❤ Maybe a tiny one with 15 cm to take him everywhere to every comp! 😀

Phil casually forget how to cube btw nice Knife

No skipping ads for good suppoirt anyway can i have any cube with your autograph cause your my girst idol in cubing and nice intro anyway it gives vibes❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I prefer this cube for oh

Benjnamin is so fluffy

you're right about the "people will think gan isn't a good brand" because I got the RS after a 3 years break so I didn't really know the newer cubes and it just sucks

Even I'm just watching, I can feel that the Rs3 is like the 356 RS. 😂

When I started cubing, I bought the RS thinking it was magnetic. I searched for magnetic gan cubes and the rs popped up and I was like: OMG A GAN CUBE AT $17 :O And I got it and I was disappointed when I saw the mistake. The same thing happened to me when I bought a gan 249 v2 and I thought it was magnetic.

When will you announce the giveaway winners??

I am an owner of the 356 maglev and after about 3ish months.. one if the corner to core magnet just straight up fell out.. am sad now

Give the Gan 356 maglev to Cubehead and review when ur done

Due to a disability, im looking for something as effortless to turn as possible overall. Do you have any recommendations?

Does wrm v9 have corner twisting problem?

Buying a "cheap" gan cube is like buying a cheap car from a more luxary brand. For instance you can get a $30000 car with all the bells and whistles and it's a better car. Or you can get a $30000 car from a luxary brand that doesn't have any bells and whistles because it's the base model. You're buying it because it says Gan, not because it's good.

Try it on the loosest settings... 😮

Righty tighty lefty tighty 😮

Why use your phone instead of a speedcubing setup?

originally purchased this cube off amazon. hated it. returned it for an rs3m with maglev. insanely better...

What's your thoughts about not a maglev Gan 356 M?

can any one tell me the timer name?

4:12 what is the timer?

AND NO ONE IS TALKING BAOUT THE JOTHANON PLUSH

I feel like cubing!

Yes, it can! 😉

GAN GSC rules non mag cubes… 😅

I think the guhong pro m is criminally under rated at how good it is for $20. The performance and feel of the ys3m is on par with the guhong pro m but given it's lack of durability of the corner core magnets I can't see why anyone would recommend it. Maybe I got sent a lemon but corner core magnets that aren't receded in a slot just asks for it to pop off mid solve like it did for me. I'm curious if anyone else had this problem after three months of using it?

19 is my PR😂

nice

what is benjamin

356 ME may will good

So the maglev 356 suffers from the same problems as the 14

It feels illegal to be this early

GAN356 ♥♥ 그것은 제 취향

You are right, Phil! The WeiLong V9 has edge repelling magnets whereas the GAN 356 MagLev has less features.

It's so silly just selling a non magnetic speedcube on this day and age of speedcubing, the worst thing os that they will probably sell a lot on the south american market cause lots of kids are gan fanboys over here

Looks like spring version of wrm v9 is already better then this

I average sub 12 on gan 356 rs

He doesn't know why it exists 😞
