00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:14.000
this is very exciting this is the Corsair vengeance 1100

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:18.320
gaming communication headset what i really think they mean to say is gaming

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:22.160
headset because no headset for gaming is not for communication so it's a little

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:25.920
redundant but i get where they're coming from online gaming and chat with

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:29.679
outstanding comfort now that is a very interesting point because even though

00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:34.000
this is my first unboxing and it is my first encounter with the retail package

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:38.079
for the vengeance 1100 i have had the pleasure of listening to one already

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:40.960
down at the Corsair headquarters and i'm gonna go ahead and spoil the surprise

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:44.800
the thing is freaking awesome considering the price point it's

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:48.640
lightweight actually which happens to be the very first word on the back as far

00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:51.840
as what Corsair has to say about it lightweight behind the head design for

00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:56.480
outstanding comfort during long sessions online it is also extremely good

00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:00.719
sounding so it features 40 millimeter drivers and high sensitivity noise

00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:04.799
canceling cardoid microphone for clear unambiguous voice communication okay

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:08.400
digital usb and three and a half mil analog connectors which is awesome

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:12.400
considering the price point once again and it's compatible with pcs laptops and

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:18.479
sound cards i think what they mean by sound cards is pcs

00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:22.080
via the analog connection

00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:23.920
so laptops they're intending you to

00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:29.520
use the usb connection because let's face it almost every laptop in the world

00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:33.600
has terrible terrible sound and then for your pc depending on

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:37.439
whether you're using on-board sound or whether you are using a dedicated sound

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:41.040
card you're going to want to go with the usb for your onboard sound replacement

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:46.159
and then you're going to want to go with those analog jacks

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:48.079
if you already have a decent dedicated sound card

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:52.720
so wow this is very challenging to remove there we go

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:58.560
and good riddance to you packaging all right oh look at that it comes with

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

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.200
power supply fits in it hold on hold on

00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:12.879
you got a power supply here there's an ax850 power supply

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:16.560
and no it would appear Corsair has

00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:18.560
actually redesigned the Corsair bag to

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:23.440
fit things other than power supplies more specifically the vengeance 1100

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:26.879
headset so let's start with you know what let's not start with the headset

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

00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.560
overall okay so we have first of all

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

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

00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:46.800
where the ears are supposed to go so the first thing we find down the very

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:50.879
flexible very nice braided cord is volume control as well as a mic mute so

00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:54.879
be careful with that oh actually ah check this out this is like the littlest

00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:57.840
thing that nobody ever thought of before at least i haven't seen it before look

00:02:56.160 --> 00:03:01.440
at that see green green red which one do you think is on

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

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:08.879
when glancing down at their inline control whether their mic is on or

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

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

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:22.480
that in everyone's ear because you couldn't tell if your mic was muted or

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

00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:29.599
this nice long cord here features inline cable management so

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

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

00:03:36.799 --> 00:03:43.440
connections so there's your microphone there is your headphone jack and then

00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:47.440
finally we have the usb sound card so there this is

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:50.799
see another thing that it's just insane that nobody ever thought of before but

00:03:48.799 --> 00:03:55.200
here is Corsair doing it look at this it has the diagrams

00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:00.239
on both sides amazing see it doesn't cost more when

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:04.319
you're molding a plastic piece like this to label it better but for some reason

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:07.280
everyone only labels one side and leaves the other side blank

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:28.479
compatible with anything that features a headphone jack that's pretty much it i'm

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

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

00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.639
for a little bit here guys

00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:44.400
is that dramatic enough okay here i'll take them off for a minute so features

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:48.320
as they i mentioned before a very lightweight behind the head design so

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:51.280
there's your little Corsair logo there's your chromed accents this is going to

00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:55.040
rest on the back of your neck and check this out once again another smart thing

00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:57.840
that evidently nobody ever thought of um and that well actually okay i'm not a

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

00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:08.240
rubberized grippy stuff going all the way around the inside of the headset so

00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:12.320
what that means is it is extremely comfortable and wherever you put it it

00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:16.800
tends to just sort of it tends to just sort of stay like it

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

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:28.000
goes how many degrees that looks like 270 degrees around so you can actually

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

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

00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:38.000
if this is flexible turns out it is Corsair thinks of everything so you can

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

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

00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:49.360
it away from your mouth a little bit bam problem fixed right okay but otherwise

00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:52.400
normally you would just put it there okay let's go keep going around the

00:05:51.039 --> 00:05:57.039
overall design of it so you've got a nice brushed metal finish look here on

00:05:54.800 --> 00:06:00.960
the Corsair logo you've got your microphone is ported actually on both

00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:05.039
sides check that out there you go and then this part as i

00:06:03.039 --> 00:06:09.759
showed you before is quite flexible as well all right and then the 40 ml oh

00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:13.360
okay okay other side we got a Corsair logo we got some blue accents to go

00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:17.360
along with the other blue and chromy metally accents it's a really sharp

00:06:15.280 --> 00:06:21.840
looking little unit and then finally we have the secret which is the secret not

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:27.039
only to the sound quality but also the comfort and that is the 40 mil drivers

00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:29.840
surrounded by what is this

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:34.479
hold on is this memory foam

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

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:42.319
say it if it was but that is really nice foam here cameraman feel the phone

00:06:42.880 --> 00:06:48.960
does that feel like more comfortable than normal foam cameraman says yes he also agrees with

00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:52.960
me so i think that's actually pretty much it

00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:57.520
