welcome to another outdoor unboxing today we have from the allnew Logitech G
Series which is different from the old Logitech G Series because all of the
part numbers except for this one have an S at the end but the other ones do the
mice and the keyboard do um I guess that sort of fell flat H the g230 so this is
their new headset from the new G Series which is a little bit different from the
rest of the G Series so the selling point for the mice and keyboards is
their new sort of scientifically engineered coating that they're using to
reduce the like or well increase the sweat resistance of the products and
make them less susceptible to just sort of General greasy grossness whereas this
one looks like more of an evolutionary change for their headset line they've
definitely changed the overall look of it and they've tried to make it a little
bit more I guess uh travel and land friendly it's a lightweight uh
headset and instead of having things like um
one of those things that I I either love or hate depending on the implementation
is like the pleather ear cups that you often find on headsets these ones have a
mesh a mesh implementation so what mesh does is it allows it to uh breathe more
in terms of air so if you're sitting somewhere for a long time and you want
to make sure that you're not getting like you know sweaty all on the side of your head and stuff then that is helpful
but what it does do is it makes a little bit more open so you're able to hear the
the noises around you a little bit better so check this out so they've got
um very very very deep cushions here and
this is something that I wish more companies would do see the shape here
it's actually shaped like an ear how many times have you seen a pair of
headphones that are supposedly intended to go around your ear that are round and
so small that they either interfere with the top of your ear or crush your
earrings against your head if you wear earrings you know for the girl gamers
out there or the guys with earrings it's not not manly to to wear earrings
so going for a lightweight design they've definitely achieved that the microphone is adjustable so you can go
ahead and see that I can put it up here I can put it down here I can put it here
I can put it here we have people walking past which is obviously hilarious right
now so let's go ahead and see what Logitech has to say for themselves on
the outside of the box here we go
performance sport cloth ear cups are removable for cleaning oh I didn't even
notice that check this out also they fold completely flat which is convenient
for packing them into a bag and waa there goes everything we'll be back in a moment stop
it there we go
okay yeah we're back so uh that was that was fun uh so they fold flat which is
nice if you're going to pack them in a bag or something like that I wish they folded up a little bit more because what
you can see here is that the constructions I mean the construction
feels very solid the bands here are metal which is nice I don't really like
to see these made of plastic because I just don't really trust it in the longer
term they've got nice little rubber O-rings in between here so they've got a
nicer feel when you're twisting them than the ones that don't have that they
they'll feel very plasticky without that whereas these feel very smooth but when
I'm packing them flat I would worry a little bit about the fact that this
doesn't fold flat so it's a minor quibble I mean always be careful with
your electronics anyway but there you go um I do like the width of the headband
itself up here but what I noticed was that the padding is actually not that
much wider so in practice when you put
this thing on it doesn't really feel like it's that wide however it it's not
that much of an issue because they are extremely light and it's difficult to
find that balance between light and cheap feeling but I think Logitech
Struck it again with nice little touches like the O-rings here that make it feel
a little bit uh a little bit more solid now in terms of Aesthetics Logitech has
always been good at this on their G Series they've got nice Little chromed
G's on the side as well as red trim around the outside of the headset this
is kind of a red pleather and then these are the removable uh removable ear
cushions that they were talking about so all you have to do uh there's no cheap
plastic Clips I've seen that a number of times where the uh where the optional
ear cups are attached with these little plastic clips that just break and then
the Pieces come off inside the headset and uh then they're in there forever and
they rattle around unless you open it up so these are super easy to uh to remove
and put back on uh presumably you just wash them with some detergent and sort
of just scrub them out and get them all cleaned up leave them somewhere to dry
so so that would be recommended uh the microphone is noise cancelling I don't
think I mentioned that before so that's why there's a port on the one side as
well as the other side and the cord is a red braided cable that's actually quite
striking and nice looking in terms of the length um let's go ahead and have a
look at how long it is because they've got inline volume control which I
personally really like I mean I don't I don't think I like it as much as on
their more premium headsets where it's built into the side of the headset but I
think it's an necessity for for any kind of a gaming product so there's a volume
knob here and then a microphone mute button right here so there's your mute
there's your not mute and then it Clips on to whatever you pretty much want it
to clip on to length looks like it can very comfortably reach around to the
back of your computer haha reach around um so it's about here we go one Linus
armspan about two full Linus ARM span so it's about a 10t cable and at the end
you've got your typical headphone microphone jacks and you've got a little
built-in velcro piece here that you can use for cable management let's go ahead
and see if there's anything else that I've missed that's probably slick
calling again to tell me the power's out now this is kind of a cryptic thing for
Logitech to call out it's got a three-year warranty but check this out what you need Windows 8 Windows 7 Mac or
Linux operating system headset and microphone
inputs really that's just sort of bizarre because because it just uses
standard 3 and 12 mm Jacks it'll fit in pretty much anything so there you go uh
impedance is 32 ohms if that matters to you and the drivers are 40 mm neodium
drivers so I think that pretty much wraps it up so I'll just uh I'll just
wrap up with a little bit of you know strutting showing you guys what it looks
like when it's installed on the uh the user's head there's that microphone
flexibility so you can put it you know if you have a particularly large head
then you can put it like down here oh I never showed sizing so maximum size look
at that actually that's pretty good so maximum size is going to look like this
on me which is obviously kind of ridiculous and then minimum size is
probably more suitable for like small children than for adult Gamers so I have
a a medium I wear a mediumsized motorcycle helmet so that should give
you some idea and I end up pulling it around halfway down before they actually
get comfortable so thank you for checking out this unboxing and first look at the g230 from Logitech don't
