00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:06.759
so today for my unboxing I have a relatively low-end product from steel

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:14.960
series now we recently had a look at their 5H V2 as well as their Siberia V2

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:18.320
headsets now this is the plain old 4

00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:21.920
there's no V2 it is basically a slightly

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:24.000
cut down version of their successful 5H

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:29.240
product it does come in a little bit less expensive but it also doesn't have

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:32.360
all of the features of the 5H so let's

00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:34.360
get this out of the box here it doesn't

00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:39.160
come in nearly as nice of a package this thing just kind of rips apart whereas

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:41.920
the 5H you can slide out of the box all

00:00:39.160 --> 00:00:47.239
nicely and it comes out all fancy and this one we just have to kind of like

00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:51.520
rip it open here in order to get at it now it's a pretty similar looking set of

00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:56.680
headphones but you'll see that there's a couple key feature differences first of

00:00:54.280 --> 00:01:01.440
all okay let's get to the accessories actually let's do that very first of all

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:05.640
so this is actually here okay so we have a steel series brochure showing you all

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:10.240
of their other products okay that's very nice then you have a steel series

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:15.360
sticker as well as a warning about not turning up your headphones too loud okay

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:20.439
inside here we will find the cable that comes attached to it now here's where we

00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:26.280
will encounter The First missing feature the 4H has the same uh mic and headphone

00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:31.880
volume control knob that we find on the 5H series with a metal clip that looks

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:37.240
nice and durable but what's missing is the shortened cables with extensions so

00:01:34.759 --> 00:01:41.560
the 4 is not going to be as easy to plug into the back of say for example a 7g

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:47.479
keyboard from steel series because you'll have to have all of this wire hanging about now the wire itself is

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:53.920
actually not nearly as long as you can get with the 5H V2 either okay so as

00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:59.960
soon as I get this detached here I'll be able to pull out the

00:01:55.960 --> 00:02:02.159
headphones and have a look at those so

00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:05.039
the first thing I notice about them well okay I've probably said first thing a

00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:10.640
few times now but another thing I noticed about them that is missing

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:12.840
versus the 5H V2 is the

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:17.519
disassemblable headband for lack of a better word the 5H V2 comes apart at

00:02:15.920 --> 00:02:22.400
these two Junctions so you can actually fold up the whole thing and throw it in

00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:26.519
your bag another small difference is the fact that the cable comes in from either

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:30.560
side which is a little bit more awkward when you're gaming because it means that

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:33.800
I it comes down the middle which can get in the way of your keyboard or anything

00:02:32.440 --> 00:02:38.160
else when you drape it around to the back of your computer um the 5H V2

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:43.040
actually comes with one cable in the side and then it's connected via the

00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:47.879
headband now these are quite comfortable the ear cups are actually very similar

00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:51.519
in style to the 5hv 2 and I'll get the the camera person to have a look at

00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:56.120
those they're nice and spongy and they also fit nice large ears in there which

00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:59.040
is pretty good I mean steel series headsets are all about comfort so if

00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:02.959
you're not comfortable while you're gaming then you're they're not achieving

00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:06.519
their goal okay now they've done something slightly different at the top

00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:10.319
there is a little bit less padding but I do like the way that it's constructed

00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:13.920
because you've got kind of a non-slip material here that will I mean I

00:03:12.519 --> 00:03:17.360
shouldn't say stick to your hair it's not going to stick to your hair but what

00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:21.959
it does is it grips the headphones in place and makes it hard for them to

00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:27.440
slide out of place okay the last thing that I should point out about the 4 is

00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:31.959
that it has much like many other steel series headsets a little retractable mic

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.120
in the side here and I love this feature because it makes it so you can actually

00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:38.920
use them as headphones should you desire without looking like a tool with your

00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:41.799
mic hanging up the side of your head so there you have it it's the flexible

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.760
little mic that we've come to know and love from steel series headsets so thank

00:03:43.720 --> 00:03:50.400
you for checking out my unboxing of the steel series 4 headset
