00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:12.000
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

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:20.960
the steelseries 3h v2 gaming headset now

00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:24.519
i normally don't really talk about prices in my videos but i should mention

00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:30.640
that this one is 39.99 so it's around 40 bucks so

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:35.680
adjust your expectations if you're expecting this to be the most like

00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:38.960
cinematic sounding like awesomest audiophile pair of headphones ever in

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.239
the world then sort of think again but what it is

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:46.879
it is is it is what i'd consider kind of like um

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

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

00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:00.879
the features that you might find on a pair of gaming headphones this will be a

00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:04.479
darn sight better than most else that you'll find in this kind of a price

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:08.479
range the other thing that i'd consider it perfect for is as like a secondary

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:12.560
pair of headphones that you use for traveling because it folds up extremely

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.920
tight and it's the kind of thing where because of its flexibility you wouldn't

00:01:14.479 --> 00:01:19.680
worry too much about breaking it and because of its price you

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:23.600
wouldn't worry too much about breaking it so there's both of those things going

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:26.640
for it it also has a fair bit of flexibility in terms of the connectors

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

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:36.000
really like so they include an adapter you've either you can either plug

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:40.560
directly into your pc so it's got a nice feels actually quite good orange rubber

00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:43.759
coated cord should be quite anti-tangle as well and

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:47.200
then they've actually got two little pieces here that plug in so they've got

00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:51.200
little labels on them there's the corresponding headphone thing so you put

00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:55.360
those together and then the microphone symbols together and boom you've adapted

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

00:01:57.119 --> 00:02:02.079
which i think is quite neat it has inline volume control as well as an

00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:06.399
inline mic mute it's very clearly labeled so mic off

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

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:16.080
the bulkier side but i guess you expect that with the more cost effective as

00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:17.680
they like to say options like the 3h v2

00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:22.319
and then the headphones themselves are quite lightweight quite small

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:25.680
so if you wear an xl size motorcycle helmet for example you might not find

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

00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:31.599
your ears a little bit as opposed to completely around your ears because the

00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:36.319
ear cups are a little bit on the smaller side as well just like their siberia

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

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:43.920
you've got a separate piece of padding that has got kind of a pleathery

00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:48.959
material on it just like that and then the ear cups themselves also have like

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:52.000
a synthetic leather material feeling stuff on it it's better than some of the

00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:56.720
synthetic leather i've encountered that has a very plasticky feel but it's

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

00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:02.480
is unusual left side is here so the

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:06.159
cable actually comes out of the right side that's a little bit a little bit

00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:11.440
different i haven't often seen that in the past so they're adjustable like this

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

00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:19.360
actually have them adjusted to the max in order to have maybe not quite max

00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:22.560
maybe i'll go one click down and it's not the best adjustment mechanism that

00:03:21.040 --> 00:03:26.480
i've ever encountered but again this is a fairly low cost pair of headphones so

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

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:33.599
your ears like that there's actually a fair bit of passive noise cancellation

00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:37.280
or passive noise blocking noise isolation that's the word

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

00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:44.480
the synthetic leather material as opposed to a more open mesh type of

00:03:43.440 --> 00:03:48.879
material this is the feature that is going to be

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

00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:55.599
retractable microphone right here so most headsets in this kind of a price

00:03:54.159 --> 00:04:00.159
range aren't going to have features like that they'll either have like um an

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

00:04:02.239 --> 00:04:07.280
like kind of an awkward boom mic or something that's detachable that you can

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:10.480
lose i really love the retractable microphone thing it's one of the things

00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:14.560
that i've always liked about steelseries headsets and now they've brought that

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

00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:23.440
little flexible snake cord it doesn't feel as good as the one on my 7h

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:28.160
obviously but it should be quite functional for you and you can just tuck

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:30.080
it back away like that i think that's

00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:34.320
pretty much it um i hope i must be talking really really

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

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

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:48.160
what i mean um but not not not that long

00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:51.040
so i would probably sort of mostly aim to plug this into the front of your

00:04:49.440 --> 00:04:55.120
computer but in a pinch if you keep your tower on the right it

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

00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:04.000
you for checking out my unboxing and overview of the steelseries 3h v2 gaming

00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:07.919
headset don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips for more unboxings

00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:11.840
reviews and other computer videos and i guess i did miss one thing if you really

00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:17.680
do have trouble with that then they've included this guide

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.680
for how to plug these things in

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

00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:27.840
all good you shouldn't need documentation for that anyway don't

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

00:05:30.400 --> 00:05:36.320
me know where do you think the target market is for this would you recommend this to

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.560
someone more as like a secondary pair of headphones or would you recommend this

00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:55.000
to someone as like i said sort of their their their first gaming headset
