over this 24 FPS like Diva oh it looks

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,519
more cinematic thing because you know what have you ever watched a movie and

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,880
gone oh there's a pan of mountains at least I think it was a pan of mountains

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,160
cuz it might have been a slide show from like my great A's trip to the Alps or

8
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:33,559
something because it's ridiculous anyway I digress this is my unboxing of the

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:38,160
g430 from Logitech which is pretty similar to the g230 now we've addressed

10
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,320
an issue with outdoor unboxings that people have been complaining about for a

11
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:46,239
while and that is that there's nowhere to put the product we have dragged a

12
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:52,280
table outdoors and that is the solution that we've come up with so this headset

13
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:54,359
is part of logitech's massive refresh of

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:01:03,039
their gaming series products including the g100s the g400s the g500s the g700s

15
00:00:58,519 --> 00:01:07,560
the g510s the G uh um uh oh what's the

16
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:11,360
keyboard the g19s the g230 and the

17
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:13,479
g430 so unlike the g230 the g430 has a

18
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:19,400
blue theme which is kind of shaking things up a little bit because generally

19
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:21,479
speaking like the the um like The

20
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:26,759
Stereotype is that the high performance extreme Edition one is going to be uh

21
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:30,960
red whereas like the lower end one will be blue but in this case the g430 is

22
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:37,320
actually the more more premium headset because it does come with a USB sound

23
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:40,399
card integrated with it giving it 7.1

24
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:42,399
surround in software capabilities so

25
00:01:40,399 --> 00:01:46,840
they're using Dolby technology which by and large is well it's definitely one of

26
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:50,600
the better Solutions out there but in terms of the actual headphones

27
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:56,000
themselves there hasn't been much that's changed so it's got the same wide

28
00:01:53,079 --> 00:02:00,399
headband but narrow looking pad that I found because it's so soft and Squishy

29
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:05,079
see it has here I'm going to press on this and you guys are going to see it

30
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,759
has a very slow recoil see that that's really important because what that does

31
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:13,200
is it makes it feel kind of funny the first time you ever put the headset on

32
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,560
but once it mushes out a little bit it mushes out and it puts much more even

33
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:20,879
pressure on your head I mean logitech's good at ergonomics if nothing else

34
00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:25,239
they've been doing it a long time the ear cups on the other hand do use a

35
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,239
harder foam but it's quite deep so what you're going to discover with headsets

36
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:33,000
like this is that they might not be instantly the most comfortable thing you've ever heard but they will

37
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,239
definitely improve over time as they mold to your head and these aren't the

38
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:40,159
kinds of things that I would lend to someone else because you don't want

39
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:45,360
someone else's head shape you know gunking up your your head Groove that's

40
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:48,440
going on here so the mic is a boom mic I'm just going to actually here we'll

41
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:52,440
show you the the fitting first metal pieces love metal pieces here they just

42
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:56,120
they Inspire confidence they make me feel good about the build quality of the

43
00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:00,959
headphones that I just bought when you have plastic size adjustments it just um

44
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,840
it feels it feels cheaper it just really does and metal bands really don't add

45
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:11,200
that much weight so it goes all the way up to about here and then all the way down

46
00:03:08,519 --> 00:03:15,480
to basically kid size which will sit pretty high up on my head just like that

47
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:19,360
so I'm going to pull those down again all right so the boom mic goes up here

48
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:24,760
boom mic goes down here and let's head into the cable so

49
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:30,280
it's got a nice blue braided cable very thin which I personally actually kind of

50
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:34,959
like cuz it means it's less likely to to like King can get caught on stuff and

51
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:39,239
oh yeah they've used a really high quality cable you can see even though

52
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:45,159
it's been packaged up there's almost no kinkiness to it my Logitech G9 by

53
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:49,280
contrast I've had for years and still has the original Kink from when it was

54
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:54,519
uh bound up in the box so that's that's a really nice Improvement and did I say

55
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:58,799
that this was USB holy crap Logitech is

56
00:03:54,519 --> 00:04:00,720
doing it the right way here awesome this

57
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:04,799
is the way to do it manufacturers for those of you who are wondering instead

58
00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:10,040
of integrating the USB connector directly into the headphones just

59
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:15,200
include this adapter there's your USB sound card now you have the option to

60
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:17,639
use it as a USB sound card or hook it up

61
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:23,120
to an even higher quality audio source so these USB sound cards are better than

62
00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:27,199
onboard sound they do provide that virtual surround functionality remember

63
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,759
guys you don't need multiple speakers in your headphones in order to get a

64
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:33,520
surround experience you have two ears and when the speaker is sitting right

65
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:37,840
next to it you only need two speakers for surround go find the virtual haircut

66
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:41,120
uh Virtual Barber Shop or whatever on YouTube and you'll see what I mean but

67
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:46,720
this is the way to do it because then if you decide no I want to use a higher quality audio Source such as a dedicated

68
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:52,080
sound card bloop you plug those into that and you are ready to go so there

69
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:56,240
you go way to go Logitech doing things the right way the inline controls very

70
00:04:54,479 --> 00:05:01,919
simple you've got a volume wheel on the side here there you go as well as a mic mhone

71
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,720
mute button I would have rather seen Logitech Implement a microphone mute

72
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:10,000
there's a little clip on the back uh by raising the boom pole Sennheiser did

73
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:15,160
this on their PC 36 3DS as well as their 350 SE it's a very elegant way to deal

74
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,639
with it so um there there there's a tip that I wish everyone would get from uh

75
00:05:16,919 --> 00:05:22,360
from what sennheiser's done over there the microphone because it's a boom mic

76
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:26,840
and not a retractable mic isn't that adjustable in terms of positioning but

77
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:31,160
it is noise cancelling and you can kind of go up and down like this and it does

78
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:35,520
have some bendiness to it as well so you guys can see hopefully from that angle

79
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,800
that it can I find the easiest way is like ah put it right in my mouth and

80
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:44,240
then it'll kind of end up in about the right place you want it at the corner of your mouth for optimal listening for the

81
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:48,000
other people so I'm going to see if I I haven't even looked at what they have to

82
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:51,400
say about themselves on the box so performance sport cloth ear cups are

83
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,440
removable for cleaning oh that's actually really nice because some people

84
00:05:53,400 --> 00:06:01,080
do get sweaty when they game I'm not judging uh 3year warranty USB adapter

85
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:07,199
Windows 8 Windows window 7 or Windows Vista to use the USB sound 7.1 surround

86
00:06:04,479 --> 00:06:11,800
sound 40 mm drivers this is something that probably would have been good to

87
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:14,479
mention and I think that is pretty much

88
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:18,280
it ah Lake lay flat ear cups okay this is something so there you go lays flat

89
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,160
uh this might not be important for some people but if you fold your headphones

90
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,880
up and you put them in a bag this isn't quite as elegant as a folding design but

91
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:30,039
at least it allows you to slip it into a side pocket without worrying about it

92
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:35,960
getting messed up my parrot Zeke I sat on them on a plane and the the yeah the

93
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,960
ear cup that wasn't supposed to go like that went like that the other way and it

94
00:06:37,479 --> 00:06:42,400
was a really really bad experience so being able to fold them up like that's

95
00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:45,800
really nice just want to give you guys sort of a nice look at what they look

96
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,840
like so they do have the blue accent here as well as the blue cloth unlike

97
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:53,039
the 230s which don't come with the USB adapter but that's pretty much the only

98
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:57,840
other difference and they're red and then let's see if we can figure out how

99
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:00,479
to pull off that uh that removable ear

100
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:04,319
cut piece here oh that's simple okay so there you go you take that off wash that

101
00:07:03,039 --> 00:07:11,960
make sure you dry it before you put it back on your head and there you can see the 4 cm speaker Grill behind where the

102
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,919
where this sits your sides are clearly labeled but remember guys the boom mic

103
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:19,400
is always on the left and I think that pretty much wraps it up thank you for checking out this unboxing online is
