WEBVTT 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:08.920 welcome to my unboxing and first look at sennheiser's PC 350 special edition or 00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:12.559 SE noise blocking gaming headset so calling it noise blocking is pretty much 00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:18.000 sennheiser's way of saying that this is a closed design headphone with a 00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:24.720 microphone and by closed I mean that it keeps the noise it keeps the sound in so 00:00:22.119 --> 00:00:28.640 all your gaming sounds or music or movies or whatever else you happen to be 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:32.480 listening to on them stays inside your headphones and isn't going to leak to 00:00:30.279 --> 00:00:36.680 the people around you who maybe don't want to hear it so if you're someone who 00:00:34.879 --> 00:00:40.239 games late at night or you have a baby in the next room or whatever else 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:44.960 something like this is a very very good option it also means that the sounds 00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:50.280 stay out so if someone's calling you to come to dinner for example um you may 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:54.640 not hear them which is just sort of the situation so the PC 350 special edition 00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:59.000 features optimiz sound control for Competitive Gaming the sound is trimmed to provide positional accuracy making it 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:04.040 easier to hear where each sound comes from it features a closed design which isolates you from the outside noise so 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:08.759 you don't hear even the faintest so you hear even the faintest details of your 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.119 game gaming time is your time and every games you deserve it's no coincidence 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:14.799 that many games are recorded with Sennheiser audio equipment too they come 00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:19.320 with a 2-year warranty and they also come in one of the slimmest packages 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:24.320 that I think I've ever seen uh a gaming headset come with so uh outstanding 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:28.240 Sonic quality and Clarity with e technology collapsible design and 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:31.119 carrying case okay cool ease of use integrated volume control on the ear cup 00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:35.799 and and greatfor long gaming sessions with extra- large ear pads now I can 00:01:33.479 --> 00:01:41.360 actually vouch for the comfort of this particular headset um not that I I I've 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:47.759 actually used the original PC 350 not the 350 SE and while I personally don't 00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:52.000 prefer closed headphones um and I personally didn't really find them that 00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:57.560 comfortable compared to my HD 555s they were one of the only headsets that my 00:01:54.479 --> 00:01:59.960 wife would even use she just refused to 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:03.640 use anything else other than these ones and one other one that she found 00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.799 acceptable um that was able to fit around her ears and and that she was 00:02:05.240 --> 00:02:13.040 able to find them comfortable so here's the carrying case is quite nice it has 00:02:09.640 --> 00:02:15.280 like a like a nice textured finish on it 00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:18.879 uh feels quite durable it's got a little carrying handle right here and then the 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:22.640 zipper feels not like something that's just going to break in 2 seconds so I 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:27.440 mean these are things that you can't take for granted to be perfectly honest 00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:31.239 and inside we find the collapsible design so there's some foam to keep it 00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:33.599 from you know keep anything bad from happening during shipping although I 00:02:32.519 --> 00:02:41.800 don't think the assumption is that you'll continue to use that forever they've added an orange accent to the SE 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:44.599 that was not on the original PC 350 and 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:49.040 uh obvious not obviously but also the uh carrying case that is included with the 00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:52.840 SE was not included with the original 350 either so we can take this piece of 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:56.840 foam out it looks like there's a little pouch here so you can keep a couple 00:02:54.720 --> 00:03:00.879 little extra accessories in there button those down same thing like the inside 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:05.280 feels very nice nice very high quality very premium they also lay out look at 00:03:03.239 --> 00:03:08.319 that they got a little thing here so that you don't screw it up and you put 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:12.640 it in the right way every time and then these pieces right here will keep the uh 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:17.760 the ear cups in place during transport so I'll show you guys how the design 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:19.799 unfolds okay so it comes out that way 00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:25.480 comes out that way and then locks into place over here somewhere all right it's 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:31.120 just kind of is that even yeah that's even there 00:03:28.760 --> 00:03:34.760 you go um and this this right here is one of the reasons that I didn't find 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:38.840 the 350s that comfortable because uh they were pretty much tuned to my wife's 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:41.920 head you can see they're they're quite tight so you're going to want to break 00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:45.000 these in before they start to get really comfortable but then like I said they 00:03:43.799 --> 00:03:48.720 were one of the most comfortable headsets that she well would use so 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:54.000 basically one of the most comfortable headsets she ever encountered like I've seen on quite a few Sennheiser 00:03:51.720 --> 00:03:58.040 Headphones the ear cups are not super soft they're not super Supple but what 00:03:56.120 --> 00:04:03.480 this means is it's a bit of a trade-off when you have a really soft memory foam 00:04:00.040 --> 00:04:05.439 ear cup what can happen is it cannot it 00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:09.280 tends to not necessarily conform as much to your head over time so the Comfort 00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:16.079 level doesn't really change whereas when you break in a bit of a harder uh more 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:18.239 um more formable foam over time you what 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:23.720 you'll discover is that it becomes perfectly tuned to fit your head and 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:28.600 it's uncomfortable for anyone else but super comfortable for the intended 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:30.600 wearer which is you the 350 uses a boom 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:34.320 mic so I can hear the switch in there it 00:04:32.280 --> 00:04:38.440 automatically mutes when you put it up into the um upright position and then 00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:43.160 right here right there see that little spot 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:46.759 where it sticks that's what is going to reactivate the mic and turn it back on 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:52.320 this boom mic doesn't have length adjustment so it is intended only to be 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.680 adjusted this way uh and this way sorry 00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:58.240 I almost end up putting that in my mouth there you want the microphone at the corner of your mouth so that it doesn't 00:04:56.479 --> 00:05:01.600 pick up too much breathing and that's one of the things that I do like about 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:06.560 tractable mics because this one as you can see is going to sit right under my 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:09.560 massive nose and uh might pick up a little bit of my breathing sound but 00:05:08.039 --> 00:05:14.320 with that said it is a noise cancelling microphone so you can see they have um 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:18.600 mics on both sides which is going to enable it to to not do that as much and 00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:21.800 the flexibility is all provided by this little piece of the ARM right here so 00:05:19.960 --> 00:05:26.280 you can go ahead and adjust that as needed the volume control that is built 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:31.440 in is on the right ear cup so this is new to the SE as well so you just rotate 00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:36.880 the little Sen logo all the way up and all the way down and presumably there is 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:40.039 a microphone control somewhere in line here but I guess we'll have to oh no 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:43.319 right because uh right it used to have that so that's controlled by this now I 00:05:42.039 --> 00:05:48.160 wouldn't have minded seeing a bit of a thicker uh headband I complain about 00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:52.400 this a lot whenever I see it I like a wider headband because it spreads out 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:58.160 the pressure a bit but what the 350 does have going for it is unlike the ear cups 00:05:54.919 --> 00:06:00.120 it is an extremely soft material up here 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:05.039 that has a long rebound time when you squeeze it in I hope you guys can see 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:08.120 that okay so for a thin headband this 00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:09.759 one is extremely comfortable I think 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:13.960 that pretty much wraps oh yeah no I want to show you guys sort of the sizing so 00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:18.280 it goes here this is where it's sitting comfortably on my ears so if you had a 00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:21.720 super large head it would fit just fine and then if you're a kid wearing these I 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:24.919 don't think you'll have much difficulty either because that's how it sits on my 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:29.160 head and I wear a medium motorcycle helmet so that should give you guys some 00:06:27.080 --> 00:06:32.840 idea of my head size so let's come in here and have a look at the quality of 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:36.680 the braided cable on here so it comes with a little uh strap for tying that up 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:40.800 when you want to transport it or whatever else and yeah I was mistaken 00:06:39.080 --> 00:06:44.800 before there is no inline control because all the controls are on the 00:06:42.599 --> 00:06:48.280 headphones themselves and I prefer this I think it's much better to have the 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:52.479 controls on the headphones as opposed to fumbling around with something and um 00:06:51.080 --> 00:06:55.680 because I mean a lot of the time you just end up accidentally deactivating 00:06:54.160 --> 00:07:01.240 them or activating them anyway so there's your microphone and headphone three pole uh 3 and half millim jacks 00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:05.400 there's where they split apart another nice little Sennheiser logo and as we've 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:12.879 come to expect from Sennheiser Headphones nice long cable so this gives 00:07:09.960 --> 00:07:17.319 you all the options in the world in terms of routing so you can kind of go 00:07:14.960 --> 00:07:20.319 around and behind your stuff and then bring it around to the back of your 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:24.599 computer and you're going to have ample space to uh you know sit here which is 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:29.319 where presumably you'd be if you were gaming we might as well do a sneak peek 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:32.960 at what will be my finished gaming rig you're going to want to come on the 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:36.560 other side of me here Boll so uh there you go I'll be doing a video about this 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:41.319 soon the only thing that's missing is I still have to add a couple more sticks 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:43.240 of RAM and then it will be pretty much 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:48.039 done thank you for checking out this unboxing and first look at the PC 350 SE 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:52.000 from Sennheiser I think they took the approach of if it ain't broke don't fix 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:55.360 it made a couple small tweaks and I think the the changes that they have 00:07:53.800 --> 00:08:01.440 made her very positive don't forget to subscribe Fus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer 00:07:58.520 --> 00:08:01.440 videos
