adata xpg v2 memory kits are optimized for the latest Intel gaming platforms

00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:19,279
check the link in the video description for more details welcome to my unboxing and overview of

3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:20,960
the steelseries 3h v2 gaming headset now

4
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:24,519
i normally don't really talk about prices in my videos but i should mention

5
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:30,640
that this one is 39.99 so it's around 40 bucks so

6
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:35,680
adjust your expectations if you're expecting this to be the most like

7
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,960
cinematic sounding like awesomest audiophile pair of headphones ever in

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,239
the world then sort of think again but what it is

9
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,879
it is is it is what i'd consider kind of like um

10
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:53,360
i don't know what to call it without it sounding sort of condescending but like like baby's first gaming headphones

11
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,399
so if you've never used a proper pair of gaming headphones and you're not used to

12
00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:00,879
the features that you might find on a pair of gaming headphones this will be a

13
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:04,479
darn sight better than most else that you'll find in this kind of a price

14
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,479
range the other thing that i'd consider it perfect for is as like a secondary

15
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:12,560
pair of headphones that you use for traveling because it folds up extremely

16
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,920
tight and it's the kind of thing where because of its flexibility you wouldn't

17
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:19,680
worry too much about breaking it and because of its price you

18
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,600
wouldn't worry too much about breaking it so there's both of those things going

19
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:26,640
for it it also has a fair bit of flexibility in terms of the connectors

20
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:32,240
that are included this is something steel series has started doing over the last little while here that i actually

21
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:36,000
really like so they include an adapter you've either you can either plug

22
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:40,560
directly into your pc so it's got a nice feels actually quite good orange rubber

23
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:43,759
coated cord should be quite anti-tangle as well and

24
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:47,200
then they've actually got two little pieces here that plug in so they've got

25
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:51,200
little labels on them there's the corresponding headphone thing so you put

26
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:55,360
those together and then the microphone symbols together and boom you've adapted

27
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,640
it to a 4-pole so you can use it with your mobile device or with your computer

28
00:01:57,119 --> 00:02:02,079
which i think is quite neat it has inline volume control as well as an

29
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:06,399
inline mic mute it's very clearly labeled so mic off

30
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:09,759
the mic on just like that volume up and down just like that it's a little bit on

31
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:16,080
the bulkier side but i guess you expect that with the more cost effective as

32
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,680
they like to say options like the 3h v2

33
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:22,319
and then the headphones themselves are quite lightweight quite small

34
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,680
so if you wear an xl size motorcycle helmet for example you might not find

35
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:28,640
these are quite optimal for you and you can tell that they're going to sit on

36
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:31,599
your ears a little bit as opposed to completely around your ears because the

37
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:36,319
ear cups are a little bit on the smaller side as well just like their siberia

38
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:40,239
series you've got sort of a couple you've got like a support brace and then

39
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:43,920
you've got a separate piece of padding that has got kind of a pleathery

40
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:48,959
material on it just like that and then the ear cups themselves also have like

41
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:52,000
a synthetic leather material feeling stuff on it it's better than some of the

42
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:56,720
synthetic leather i've encountered that has a very plasticky feel but it's

43
00:02:53,840 --> 00:03:01,120
certainly not quite the real deal so let's go ahead and put them on oh this

44
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,480
is unusual left side is here so the

45
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,159
cable actually comes out of the right side that's a little bit a little bit

46
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:11,440
different i haven't often seen that in the past so they're adjustable like this

47
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:15,599
go ahead and adjust them as needed uh like i said they're not huge so i

48
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:19,360
actually have them adjusted to the max in order to have maybe not quite max

49
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,560
maybe i'll go one click down and it's not the best adjustment mechanism that

50
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:26,480
i've ever encountered but again this is a fairly low cost pair of headphones so

51
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,519
let's go ahead and oh yeah i think we got it now there we go so it sits on

52
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,599
your ears like that there's actually a fair bit of passive noise cancellation

53
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:37,280
or passive noise blocking noise isolation that's the word

54
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,720
i'm looking for from these headphones and part of that is due to the use of

55
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,480
the synthetic leather material as opposed to a more open mesh type of

56
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,879
material this is the feature that is going to be

57
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:52,480
the sort of rockum sockham you didn't see this one coming one and that's the

58
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:55,599
retractable microphone right here so most headsets in this kind of a price

59
00:03:54,159 --> 00:04:00,159
range aren't going to have features like that they'll either have like um an

60
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,840
inline mic that's attached to sort of like a thing down here or they'll have

61
00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:07,280
like kind of an awkward boom mic or something that's detachable that you can

62
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,480
lose i really love the retractable microphone thing it's one of the things

63
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:14,560
that i've always liked about steelseries headsets and now they've brought that

64
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:18,160
feature down to the 3 hv2 you can adjust it wherever you need to with its nice

65
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:23,440
little flexible snake cord it doesn't feel as good as the one on my 7h

66
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:28,160
obviously but it should be quite functional for you and you can just tuck

67
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,080
it back away like that i think that's

68
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:34,320
pretty much it um i hope i must be talking really really

69
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:38,960
loud right now it actually does isolate noise uh quite well so in terms of cable length

70
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:45,360
you should be able to reach around to the back of your computer give your computer the old reach around you know

71
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:48,160
what i mean um but not not not that long

72
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:51,040
so i would probably sort of mostly aim to plug this into the front of your

73
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:55,120
computer but in a pinch if you keep your tower on the right it

74
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:58,639
might be able to make it back there so i think that pretty much wraps it up thank

75
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:04,000
you for checking out my unboxing and overview of the steelseries 3h v2 gaming

76
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,919
headset don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips for more unboxings

77
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:11,840
reviews and other computer videos and i guess i did miss one thing if you really

78
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:17,680
do have trouble with that then they've included this guide

79
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,680
for how to plug these things in

80
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:24,479
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

81
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:27,840
all good you shouldn't need documentation for that anyway don't

82
00:05:26,479 --> 00:05:31,280
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

00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:40,560
someone more as like a secondary pair of headphones or would you recommend this

85
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:55,000
to someone as like i said sort of their their their first gaming headset
