check the link in the video description for more details welcome to my unboxing and overview of
the steelseries 3h v2 gaming headset now
i normally don't really talk about prices in my videos but i should mention
that this one is 39.99 so it's around 40 bucks so
adjust your expectations if you're expecting this to be the most like
cinematic sounding like awesomest audiophile pair of headphones ever in
the world then sort of think again but what it is
it is is it is what i'd consider kind of like um
i don't know what to call it without it sounding sort of condescending but like like baby's first gaming headphones
so if you've never used a proper pair of gaming headphones and you're not used to
the features that you might find on a pair of gaming headphones this will be a
darn sight better than most else that you'll find in this kind of a price
range the other thing that i'd consider it perfect for is as like a secondary
pair of headphones that you use for traveling because it folds up extremely
tight and it's the kind of thing where because of its flexibility you wouldn't
worry too much about breaking it and because of its price you
wouldn't worry too much about breaking it so there's both of those things going
for it it also has a fair bit of flexibility in terms of the connectors
that are included this is something steel series has started doing over the last little while here that i actually
really like so they include an adapter you've either you can either plug
directly into your pc so it's got a nice feels actually quite good orange rubber
coated cord should be quite anti-tangle as well and
then they've actually got two little pieces here that plug in so they've got
little labels on them there's the corresponding headphone thing so you put
those together and then the microphone symbols together and boom you've adapted
it to a 4-pole so you can use it with your mobile device or with your computer
which i think is quite neat it has inline volume control as well as an
inline mic mute it's very clearly labeled so mic off
the mic on just like that volume up and down just like that it's a little bit on
the bulkier side but i guess you expect that with the more cost effective as
they like to say options like the 3h v2
and then the headphones themselves are quite lightweight quite small
so if you wear an xl size motorcycle helmet for example you might not find
these are quite optimal for you and you can tell that they're going to sit on
your ears a little bit as opposed to completely around your ears because the
ear cups are a little bit on the smaller side as well just like their siberia
series you've got sort of a couple you've got like a support brace and then
you've got a separate piece of padding that has got kind of a pleathery
material on it just like that and then the ear cups themselves also have like
a synthetic leather material feeling stuff on it it's better than some of the
synthetic leather i've encountered that has a very plasticky feel but it's
certainly not quite the real deal so let's go ahead and put them on oh this
is unusual left side is here so the
cable actually comes out of the right side that's a little bit a little bit
different i haven't often seen that in the past so they're adjustable like this
go ahead and adjust them as needed uh like i said they're not huge so i
actually have them adjusted to the max in order to have maybe not quite max
maybe i'll go one click down and it's not the best adjustment mechanism that
i've ever encountered but again this is a fairly low cost pair of headphones so
let's go ahead and oh yeah i think we got it now there we go so it sits on
your ears like that there's actually a fair bit of passive noise cancellation
or passive noise blocking noise isolation that's the word
i'm looking for from these headphones and part of that is due to the use of
the synthetic leather material as opposed to a more open mesh type of
material this is the feature that is going to be
the sort of rockum sockham you didn't see this one coming one and that's the
retractable microphone right here so most headsets in this kind of a price
range aren't going to have features like that they'll either have like um an
inline mic that's attached to sort of like a thing down here or they'll have
like kind of an awkward boom mic or something that's detachable that you can
lose i really love the retractable microphone thing it's one of the things
that i've always liked about steelseries headsets and now they've brought that
feature down to the 3 hv2 you can adjust it wherever you need to with its nice
little flexible snake cord it doesn't feel as good as the one on my 7h
obviously but it should be quite functional for you and you can just tuck
it back away like that i think that's
pretty much it um i hope i must be talking really really
loud right now it actually does isolate noise uh quite well so in terms of cable length
you should be able to reach around to the back of your computer give your computer the old reach around you know
what i mean um but not not not that long
so i would probably sort of mostly aim to plug this into the front of your
computer but in a pinch if you keep your tower on the right it
might be able to make it back there so i think that pretty much wraps it up thank
you for checking out my unboxing and overview of the steelseries 3h v2 gaming
headset don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips for more unboxings
reviews and other computer videos and i guess i did miss one thing if you really
do have trouble with that then they've included this guide
for how to plug these things in
as far as documentation goes i don't know i don't know if that's the most impressive i've ever seen but yeah it's
all good you shouldn't need documentation for that anyway don't
forget to like the video if you liked it don't forget to dislike it if you disliked it and leave me a comment let
me know where do you think the target market is for this would you recommend this to
someone more as like a secondary pair of headphones or would you recommend this
to someone as like i said sort of their their their first gaming headset
