00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:18.080
over this 24 FPS like Diva oh it looks

00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:21.519
more cinematic thing because you know what have you ever watched a movie and

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

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

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:33.559
something because it's ridiculous anyway I digress this is my unboxing of the

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:38.160
g430 from Logitech which is pretty similar to the g230 now we've addressed

00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:41.320
an issue with outdoor unboxings that people have been complaining about for a

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:46.239
while and that is that there's nowhere to put the product we have dragged a

00:00:43.480 --> 00:00:52.280
table outdoors and that is the solution that we've come up with so this headset

00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:54.359
is part of logitech's massive refresh of

00:00:52.280 --> 00:01:03.039
their gaming series products including the g100s the g400s the g500s the g700s

00:00:58.519 --> 00:01:07.560
the g510s the G uh um uh oh what's the

00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:11.360
keyboard the g19s the g230 and the

00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:13.479
g430 so unlike the g230 the g430 has a

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:19.400
blue theme which is kind of shaking things up a little bit because generally

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:21.479
speaking like the the um like The

00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:26.759
Stereotype is that the high performance extreme Edition one is going to be uh

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

00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:37.320
actually the more more premium headset because it does come with a USB sound

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:40.399
card integrated with it giving it 7.1

00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:42.399
surround in software capabilities so

00:01:40.399 --> 00:01:46.840
they're using Dolby technology which by and large is well it's definitely one of

00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:50.600
the better Solutions out there but in terms of the actual headphones

00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:56.000
themselves there hasn't been much that's changed so it's got the same wide

00:01:53.079 --> 00:02:00.399
headband but narrow looking pad that I found because it's so soft and Squishy

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

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:08.759
has a very slow recoil see that that's really important because what that does

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

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

00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:20.879
pressure on your head I mean logitech's good at ergonomics if nothing else

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

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:28.239
harder foam but it's quite deep so what you're going to discover with headsets

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

00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:36.239
definitely improve over time as they mold to your head and these aren't the

00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:40.159
kinds of things that I would lend to someone else because you don't want

00:02:38.239 --> 00:02:45.360
someone else's head shape you know gunking up your your head Groove that's

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

00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:52.440
show you the the fitting first metal pieces love metal pieces here they just

00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:56.120
they Inspire confidence they make me feel good about the build quality of the

00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:00.959
headphones that I just bought when you have plastic size adjustments it just um

00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:04.840
it feels it feels cheaper it just really does and metal bands really don't add

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

00:03:08.519 --> 00:03:15.480
to basically kid size which will sit pretty high up on my head just like that

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

00:03:17.640 --> 00:03:24.760
boom mic goes down here and let's head into the cable so

00:03:22.760 --> 00:03:30.280
it's got a nice blue braided cable very thin which I personally actually kind of

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

00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:39.239
oh yeah they've used a really high quality cable you can see even though

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:45.159
it's been packaged up there's almost no kinkiness to it my Logitech G9 by

00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:49.280
contrast I've had for years and still has the original Kink from when it was

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

00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:58.799
that this was USB holy crap Logitech is

00:03:54.519 --> 00:04:00.720
doing it the right way here awesome this

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:04.799
is the way to do it manufacturers for those of you who are wondering instead

00:04:02.799 --> 00:04:10.040
of integrating the USB connector directly into the headphones just

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:15.200
include this adapter there's your USB sound card now you have the option to

00:04:12.040 --> 00:04:17.639
use it as a USB sound card or hook it up

00:04:15.200 --> 00:04:23.120
to an even higher quality audio source so these USB sound cards are better than

00:04:20.799 --> 00:04:27.199
onboard sound they do provide that virtual surround functionality remember

00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:30.759
guys you don't need multiple speakers in your headphones in order to get a

00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:33.520
surround experience you have two ears and when the speaker is sitting right

00:04:31.840 --> 00:04:37.840
next to it you only need two speakers for surround go find the virtual haircut

00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:41.120
uh Virtual Barber Shop or whatever on YouTube and you'll see what I mean but

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

00:04:44.440 --> 00:04:52.080
sound card bloop you plug those into that and you are ready to go so there

00:04:49.960 --> 00:04:56.240
you go way to go Logitech doing things the right way the inline controls very

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

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.720
mute button I would have rather seen Logitech Implement a microphone mute

00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:10.000
there's a little clip on the back uh by raising the boom pole Sennheiser did

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

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

00:05:16.919 --> 00:05:22.360
from what sennheiser's done over there the microphone because it's a boom mic

00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:26.840
and not a retractable mic isn't that adjustable in terms of positioning but

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

00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:35.520
have some bendiness to it as well so you guys can see hopefully from that angle

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

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

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

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.400
say about themselves on the box so performance sport cloth ear cups are

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:55.440
removable for cleaning oh that's actually really nice because some people

00:05:53.400 --> 00:06:01.080
do get sweaty when they game I'm not judging uh 3year warranty USB adapter

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:07.199
Windows 8 Windows window 7 or Windows Vista to use the USB sound 7.1 surround

00:06:04.479 --> 00:06:11.800
sound 40 mm drivers this is something that probably would have been good to

00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:14.479
mention and I think that is pretty much

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

00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:22.160
uh this might not be important for some people but if you fold your headphones

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

00:06:24.280 --> 00:06:30.039
at least it allows you to slip it into a side pocket without worrying about it

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

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

00:06:37.479 --> 00:06:42.400
was a really really bad experience so being able to fold them up like that's

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

00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:49.840
like so they do have the blue accent here as well as the blue cloth unlike

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

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

00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:00.479
to pull off that uh that removable ear

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

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

00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:14.919
where this sits your sides are clearly labeled but remember guys the boom mic

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
