so today for my unboxing I have a relatively low-end product from steel
series now we recently had a look at their 5H V2 as well as their Siberia V2
headsets now this is the plain old 4
there's no V2 it is basically a slightly
cut down version of their successful 5H
product it does come in a little bit less expensive but it also doesn't have
all of the features of the 5H so let's
get this out of the box here it doesn't
come in nearly as nice of a package this thing just kind of rips apart whereas
the 5H you can slide out of the box all
nicely and it comes out all fancy and this one we just have to kind of like
rip it open here in order to get at it now it's a pretty similar looking set of
headphones but you'll see that there's a couple key feature differences first of
all okay let's get to the accessories actually let's do that very first of all
so this is actually here okay so we have a steel series brochure showing you all
of their other products okay that's very nice then you have a steel series
sticker as well as a warning about not turning up your headphones too loud okay
inside here we will find the cable that comes attached to it now here's where we
will encounter The First missing feature the 4H has the same uh mic and headphone
volume control knob that we find on the 5H series with a metal clip that looks
nice and durable but what's missing is the shortened cables with extensions so
the 4 is not going to be as easy to plug into the back of say for example a 7g
keyboard from steel series because you'll have to have all of this wire hanging about now the wire itself is
actually not nearly as long as you can get with the 5H V2 either okay so as
soon as I get this detached here I'll be able to pull out the
headphones and have a look at those so
the first thing I notice about them well okay I've probably said first thing a
few times now but another thing I noticed about them that is missing
versus the 5H V2 is the
disassemblable headband for lack of a better word the 5H V2 comes apart at
these two Junctions so you can actually fold up the whole thing and throw it in
your bag another small difference is the fact that the cable comes in from either
side which is a little bit more awkward when you're gaming because it means that
I it comes down the middle which can get in the way of your keyboard or anything
else when you drape it around to the back of your computer um the 5H V2
actually comes with one cable in the side and then it's connected via the
headband now these are quite comfortable the ear cups are actually very similar
in style to the 5hv 2 and I'll get the the camera person to have a look at
those they're nice and spongy and they also fit nice large ears in there which
is pretty good I mean steel series headsets are all about comfort so if
you're not comfortable while you're gaming then you're they're not achieving
their goal okay now they've done something slightly different at the top
there is a little bit less padding but I do like the way that it's constructed
because you've got kind of a non-slip material here that will I mean I
shouldn't say stick to your hair it's not going to stick to your hair but what
it does is it grips the headphones in place and makes it hard for them to
slide out of place okay the last thing that I should point out about the 4 is
that it has much like many other steel series headsets a little retractable mic
in the side here and I love this feature because it makes it so you can actually
use them as headphones should you desire without looking like a tool with your
mic hanging up the side of your head so there you have it it's the flexible
little mic that we've come to know and love from steel series headsets so thank
you for checking out my unboxing of the steel series 4 headset
