1
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:14,000
this is very exciting this is the Corsair vengeance 1100

2
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,320
gaming communication headset what i really think they mean to say is gaming

3
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:22,160
headset because no headset for gaming is not for communication so it's a little

4
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:25,920
redundant but i get where they're coming from online gaming and chat with

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,679
outstanding comfort now that is a very interesting point because even though

6
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:34,000
this is my first unboxing and it is my first encounter with the retail package

7
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:38,079
for the vengeance 1100 i have had the pleasure of listening to one already

8
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:40,960
down at the Corsair headquarters and i'm gonna go ahead and spoil the surprise

9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,800
the thing is freaking awesome considering the price point it's

10
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:48,640
lightweight actually which happens to be the very first word on the back as far

11
00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:51,840
as what Corsair has to say about it lightweight behind the head design for

12
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:56,480
outstanding comfort during long sessions online it is also extremely good

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,719
sounding so it features 40 millimeter drivers and high sensitivity noise

14
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:04,799
canceling cardoid microphone for clear unambiguous voice communication okay

15
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,400
digital usb and three and a half mil analog connectors which is awesome

16
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:12,400
considering the price point once again and it's compatible with pcs laptops and

17
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:18,479
sound cards i think what they mean by sound cards is pcs

18
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:22,080
via the analog connection

19
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:23,920
so laptops they're intending you to

20
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:29,520
use the usb connection because let's face it almost every laptop in the world

21
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:33,600
has terrible terrible sound and then for your pc depending on

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:37,439
whether you're using on-board sound or whether you are using a dedicated sound

23
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,040
card you're going to want to go with the usb for your onboard sound replacement

24
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:46,159
and then you're going to want to go with those analog jacks

25
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:48,079
if you already have a decent dedicated sound card

26
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,720
so wow this is very challenging to remove there we go

27
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,560
and good riddance to you packaging all right oh look at that it comes with

28
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:04,000
a little carrying case a little corset hey i think this is the same as their power supply one hold on let me see if a

29
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,200
power supply fits in it hold on hold on

30
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:12,879
you got a power supply here there's an ax850 power supply

31
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:16,560
and no it would appear Corsair has

32
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:18,560
actually redesigned the Corsair bag to

33
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:23,440
fit things other than power supplies more specifically the vengeance 1100

34
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,879
headset so let's start with you know what let's not start with the headset

35
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:32,640
itself i'm just going to put these on here and let's start with the features

36
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:34,560
overall okay so we have first of all

37
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:38,239
let's go all the way down the cord to find all of the relevant features hold

38
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:42,239
on a second i think i got it on it's a little bit wrong here there we go that's

39
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,800
where the ears are supposed to go so the first thing we find down the very

40
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,879
flexible very nice braided cord is volume control as well as a mic mute so

41
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,879
be careful with that oh actually ah check this out this is like the littlest

42
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,840
thing that nobody ever thought of before at least i haven't seen it before look

43
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,440
at that see green green red which one do you think is on

44
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:05,760
and which one do you think is off how many people have not been able to tell

45
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,879
when glancing down at their inline control whether their mic is on or

46
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:16,159
whether it's muted which could be relevant it's like you know uh you know oh hey guys uh brb

47
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,959
mom i can't come up for dinner i'm raining you know and then you yelled

48
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,480
that in everyone's ear because you couldn't tell if your mic was muted or

49
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:26,400
not so there you go now that problem is solved so we're going to keep going down

50
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:29,599
this nice long cord here features inline cable management so

51
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:34,080
there you go there's your little velcro strap that you can use to bundle it up

52
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:38,560
if you so desire here's where the one splits into two where we get our analog

53
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:43,440
connections so there's your microphone there is your headphone jack and then

54
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:47,440
finally we have the usb sound card so there this is

55
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,799
see another thing that it's just insane that nobody ever thought of before but

56
00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:55,200
here is Corsair doing it look at this it has the diagrams

57
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:00,239
on both sides amazing see it doesn't cost more when

58
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:04,319
you're molding a plastic piece like this to label it better but for some reason

59
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,280
everyone only labels one side and leaves the other side blank

60
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,799
but now now that they've done it now that they've invested in their own piece

61
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:14,720
of plastic it'll be unique and it'll be better forever all right here's the usb

62
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:18,160
plug so that's what you plug into your laptop or whatever else the case may be

63
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,639
i mean if you're going to use your you know ipod or iphone or whatever else

64
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,360
then you obviously won't need that so go ahead and see plug that in there it's

65
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:28,479
compatible with anything that features a headphone jack that's pretty much it i'm

66
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:32,000
not actually going to play anything on it right now but let's have a look at

67
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:36,639
the headphones themselves so why don't i why don't i just model them for you here

68
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,639
for a little bit here guys

69
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:44,400
is that dramatic enough okay here i'll take them off for a minute so features

70
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:48,320
as they i mentioned before a very lightweight behind the head design so

71
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,280
there's your little Corsair logo there's your chromed accents this is going to

72
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:55,040
rest on the back of your neck and check this out once again another smart thing

73
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,840
that evidently nobody ever thought of um and that well actually okay i'm not a

74
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:03,759
headphone i'm not an over-the-ear headphone expert so maybe someone else thought of this but you got nice

75
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:08,240
rubberized grippy stuff going all the way around the inside of the headset so

76
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:12,320
what that means is it is extremely comfortable and wherever you put it it

77
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:16,800
tends to just sort of it tends to just sort of stay like it

78
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:21,199
kind of it kind of holds on to you there okay you can also oh check this out this

79
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:28,000
goes how many degrees that looks like 270 degrees around so you can actually

80
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:31,120
tuck it way back away over here or you can put it up here if you want to look

81
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:35,360
like you have a little antenna or you can put it down here in front of your mouth if you want to talk i'm not sure

82
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,000
if this is flexible turns out it is Corsair thinks of everything so you can

83
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,080
either move it away from your mouth if everyone says hey your voice you know doesn't sound good your volume's too

84
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,360
high you don't have time to adjust your volume you're too busy gaming just move

85
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:49,360
it away from your mouth a little bit bam problem fixed right okay but otherwise

86
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:52,400
normally you would just put it there okay let's go keep going around the

87
00:05:51,039 --> 00:05:57,039
overall design of it so you've got a nice brushed metal finish look here on

88
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:00,960
the Corsair logo you've got your microphone is ported actually on both

89
00:05:59,039 --> 00:06:05,039
sides check that out there you go and then this part as i

90
00:06:03,039 --> 00:06:09,759
showed you before is quite flexible as well all right and then the 40 ml oh

91
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:13,360
okay okay other side we got a Corsair logo we got some blue accents to go

92
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:17,360
along with the other blue and chromy metally accents it's a really sharp

93
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:21,840
looking little unit and then finally we have the secret which is the secret not

94
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:27,039
only to the sound quality but also the comfort and that is the 40 mil drivers

95
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,840
surrounded by what is this

96
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,479
hold on is this memory foam

97
00:06:32,479 --> 00:06:38,160
okay they're not saying it's memory foam so it's probably not i'm sure they would

98
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:42,319
say it if it was but that is really nice foam here cameraman feel the phone

99
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:48,960
does that feel like more comfortable than normal foam cameraman says yes he also agrees with

100
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:52,960
me so i think that's actually pretty much it

101
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:57,520
that's the vengeance 1100 thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look
