WEBVTT 00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:08.360 today I have a pretty interesting product to unbox this is the analog 00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:12.799 version of the Corsair hs1 so it's the 00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:15.400 hs1a A is for analog and I will be 00:00:12.799 --> 00:00:21.119 opening it up my expectation is that it will be quite similar to the hs1 except 00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:27.599 without the built-in USB sound card which for some people may actually be a 00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:30.000 benefit rather than a disadvantage so 00:00:27.599 --> 00:00:34.840 here are the technical specifications want to come in and have a look so 50 mm 00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:39.160 drivers that's an important one extra large circumoral ear cups with closed 00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:42.760 back noise isolating design so those make it very comfortable replaceable 00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:46.280 memory phone ear pads also for Comfort ooh moisture resistant microfiber covers 00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:52.600 excellent so if you're sweating and gaming then won't be a problem 3M cable 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:56.640 okay noise cancelling uh rotation rotating boom mic and that's pretty much 00:00:55.160 --> 00:01:03.039 everything that I have to say from there amazing sound for intensive immersive 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:06.320 gaming okay massive 50 mil drivers 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:08.920 basically gives you louder sound deeper 00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:13.280 base all of that good stuff that just cannot be achieved because of the 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:18.520 physics of the thing with smaller drivers so let's go ahead and extract 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:25.320 these from their packaging I remember having quite a difficult time with the 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:28.920 hs1 so hopefully the hs1a does not prove 00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:30.799 to be quite such a challenge 00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:35.320 for after all if you fool me once then shame 00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:40.520 on you and if you fool me twice then shame on me 00:01:37.960 --> 00:01:45.880 right okay depends who you ask if you ask George W bush then that's really not 00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:52.240 how the saying goes but that's how I always heard it all right there I have 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.960 extracted it now I have extracted what 00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:57.560 appears to be a disc that doesn't contain a disc so we have a quick start 00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:03.200 guide which probably pretty much amounts to plug the thing into the thing okay a 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:07.560 warranty guide which tells us that this product has a 2-year warranty which is 00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:12.280 also indicated on the side of the box that's it for that now let's have a look 00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:18.440 at the only included accessories so these are pley type ear cups these use 00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:25.000 memory foam inside wow they're really soft that feels really comfy and nice uh 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:27.720 so you can replace the stock microfiber 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:32.879 cloth ones with these if you should so desire something to be aware of is that 00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:38.319 not only is that going to change the feel of the earphones against your head 00:02:35.959 --> 00:02:42.560 but it will also change the sound characteristics of the headset so the 00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:46.519 pley ones will actually isolate uh outside sounds from you a little bit 00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:51.239 more and isolate the sounds you're hearing from the people around you a little bit more will make them sound a 00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:55.640 little bit more closed personally I prefer the sound of headphones uh 00:02:53.560 --> 00:03:00.640 without the the ple three cups with the uh with the microfiber cups but I prefer 00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:04.319 the feel of the leather one so you have to just find what works best for you so 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:10.400 here's what the headset looks like you can see the boom mic is in increments of 00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:15.280 approximately this much it goes all the way down here just in case you're one of 00:03:12.040 --> 00:03:17.519 those people whose mouth is well down 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.640 here um so this is probably the more useful level for most people it is 00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:26.799 adjustable in and out so you can make sure that it's always coming down in the 00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:30.439 right place for your mouth um in here 00:03:26.799 --> 00:03:32.239 you will see the 50 mm drivers you can 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:35.640 see these are also made of memory foam they leave quite an imprint when you 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:42.840 press on them with your finger but then easily relax back into their standard 00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:45.000 configuration the hs1 I always found 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:48.000 very very comfortable that could not possibly be a complain I would have 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:52.239 about the hs1 and so the same remains true the hs1a they've changed only a 00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:57.599 couple things about the headphones themselves you can see the color scheme is changed slightly where we used to 00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:02.640 have silver we now have black so the hs1a does look a little bit different 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:05.360 lot lot of padding up here as well on 00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:09.959 the headband okay so they like I said very very comfortable overall build 00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:14.920 quality of the hs1a is unsurprisingly about like the hs1 very solid so while 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:19.759 we do have plastic components here they feel very well built and like no matter 00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:24.560 how much you toss them around you're not going to manage to crack them or break 00:04:22.440 --> 00:04:29.440 them in terms of adjustments you can see they've got marked adjustments here in 00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:34.440 increments of approximately that much okay so you can make sure that they are 00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:36.840 going to fit on your head even if your 00:04:34.440 --> 00:04:40.840 head is shaped like this like if you have like a really tall head bu it just 00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:44.479 fine well I guess you could also have like kind of a wider head too so so 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:48.600 either of those scenarios we've accounted for here uh I think that's 00:04:47.320 --> 00:04:56.120 pretty much all I had to say about the headphones themselves want I just come in and have kind of a closer look at 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:59.000 them before we move on to the included 00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:03.360 oh yeah this adjustment is also present okay okay so let's have a look at the 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:10.280 volume control and mic so there's a volume control dial right here and then 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:11.639 there's also a mic mute right here so uh 00:05:10.280 --> 00:05:17.120 you wouldn't be the first person if you accidentally bumped this to the mute position and then uh you know tried to 00:05:15.479 --> 00:05:21.280 reconfigure all your audio settings to make them work to realize that you had 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:24.080 hit that switch so watch out for that it is useful though when you know your 00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:27.560 mom's calling you and you have to be like I'm coming and you don't want to 00:05:26.039 --> 00:05:33.800 scream that into your mic so that's what it's really for uh you've got two 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:36.319 standard uh 3.5 mil Jack so one for 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:40.880 headphones one for mic and that is pretty much it so when it comes down to 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:45.280 it I'd say pretty much hs1a if you have a high-end sound card or really pretty 00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:48.720 much any any after uh anything that's not onboard sound card if you do have an 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:52.840 onboard sound card and you don't feel like buying a sound card then the USB is 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:55.639 definitely a great option so thanks for checking out this unboxing don't forget 00:05:54.280 --> 00:06:00.000 to subscribe to L techtips for more unboxings reviews and
