00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,680
welcome to another outdoor unboxing today we have from the allnew Logitech G

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:11,880
Series which is different from the old Logitech G Series because all of the

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:16,400
part numbers except for this one have an S at the end but the other ones do the

4
00:00:13,639 --> 00:00:22,640
mice and the keyboard do um I guess that sort of fell flat H the g230 so this is

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,840
their new headset from the new G Series which is a little bit different from the

6
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:30,039
rest of the G Series so the selling point for the mice and keyboards is

7
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:35,680
their new sort of scientifically engineered coating that they're using to

8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:39,879
reduce the like or well increase the sweat resistance of the products and

9
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:45,120
make them less susceptible to just sort of General greasy grossness whereas this

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,600
one looks like more of an evolutionary change for their headset line they've

11
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:53,160
definitely changed the overall look of it and they've tried to make it a little

12
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:58,719
bit more I guess uh travel and land friendly it's a lightweight uh

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,480
headset and instead of having things like um

14
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,760
one of those things that I I either love or hate depending on the implementation

15
00:01:04,119 --> 00:01:10,799
is like the pleather ear cups that you often find on headsets these ones have a

16
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:16,400
mesh a mesh implementation so what mesh does is it allows it to uh breathe more

17
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,680
in terms of air so if you're sitting somewhere for a long time and you want

18
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:25,680
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

19
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:29,119
but what it does do is it makes a little bit more open so you're able to hear the

20
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:35,240
the noises around you a little bit better so check this out so they've got

21
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:36,560
um very very very deep cushions here and

22
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:41,240
this is something that I wish more companies would do see the shape here

23
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:44,439
it's actually shaped like an ear how many times have you seen a pair of

24
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:49,680
headphones that are supposedly intended to go around your ear that are round and

25
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:53,040
so small that they either interfere with the top of your ear or crush your

26
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,159
earrings against your head if you wear earrings you know for the girl gamers

27
00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:01,399
out there or the guys with earrings it's not not manly to to wear earrings

28
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:06,560
so going for a lightweight design they've definitely achieved that the microphone is adjustable so you can go

29
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:10,080
ahead and see that I can put it up here I can put it down here I can put it here

30
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,959
I can put it here we have people walking past which is obviously hilarious right

31
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:20,760
now so let's go ahead and see what Logitech has to say for themselves on

32
00:02:16,519 --> 00:02:23,280
the outside of the box here we go

33
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:26,599
performance sport cloth ear cups are removable for cleaning oh I didn't even

34
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,800
notice that check this out also they fold completely flat which is convenient

35
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:37,480
for packing them into a bag and waa there goes everything we'll be back in a moment stop

36
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:40,400
it there we go

37
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,879
okay yeah we're back so uh that was that was fun uh so they fold flat which is

38
00:02:42,519 --> 00:02:48,800
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

39
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:51,840
you can see here is that the constructions I mean the construction

40
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,319
feels very solid the bands here are metal which is nice I don't really like

41
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,840
to see these made of plastic because I just don't really trust it in the longer

42
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,840
term they've got nice little rubber O-rings in between here so they've got a

43
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:06,560
nicer feel when you're twisting them than the ones that don't have that they

44
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:10,840
they'll feel very plasticky without that whereas these feel very smooth but when

45
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:14,159
I'm packing them flat I would worry a little bit about the fact that this

46
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:18,440
doesn't fold flat so it's a minor quibble I mean always be careful with

47
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,080
your electronics anyway but there you go um I do like the width of the headband

48
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:27,319
itself up here but what I noticed was that the padding is actually not that

49
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:30,159
much wider so in practice when you put

50
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:34,480
this thing on it doesn't really feel like it's that wide however it it's not

51
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:38,840
that much of an issue because they are extremely light and it's difficult to

52
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:42,480
find that balance between light and cheap feeling but I think Logitech

53
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,680
Struck it again with nice little touches like the O-rings here that make it feel

54
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:50,360
a little bit uh a little bit more solid now in terms of Aesthetics Logitech has

55
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:55,200
always been good at this on their G Series they've got nice Little chromed

56
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:59,519
G's on the side as well as red trim around the outside of the headset this

57
00:03:56,959 --> 00:04:03,560
is kind of a red pleather and then these are the removable uh removable ear

58
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:07,799
cushions that they were talking about so all you have to do uh there's no cheap

59
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:11,640
plastic Clips I've seen that a number of times where the uh where the optional

60
00:04:09,959 --> 00:04:15,519
ear cups are attached with these little plastic clips that just break and then

61
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:18,880
the Pieces come off inside the headset and uh then they're in there forever and

62
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:23,320
they rattle around unless you open it up so these are super easy to uh to remove

63
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:27,639
and put back on uh presumably you just wash them with some detergent and sort

64
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:31,400
of just scrub them out and get them all cleaned up leave them somewhere to dry

65
00:04:29,479 --> 00:04:34,120
so so that would be recommended uh the microphone is noise cancelling I don't

66
00:04:32,919 --> 00:04:39,199
think I mentioned that before so that's why there's a port on the one side as

67
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:43,080
well as the other side and the cord is a red braided cable that's actually quite

68
00:04:41,039 --> 00:04:48,680
striking and nice looking in terms of the length um let's go ahead and have a

69
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:54,400
look at how long it is because they've got inline volume control which I

70
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:57,600
personally really like I mean I don't I don't think I like it as much as on

71
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,919
their more premium headsets where it's built into the side of the headset but I

72
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:04,960
think it's an necessity for for any kind of a gaming product so there's a volume

73
00:05:02,919 --> 00:05:08,000
knob here and then a microphone mute button right here so there's your mute

74
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:12,120
there's your not mute and then it Clips on to whatever you pretty much want it

75
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:16,280
to clip on to length looks like it can very comfortably reach around to the

76
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:23,360
back of your computer haha reach around um so it's about here we go one Linus

77
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:28,000
armspan about two full Linus ARM span so it's about a 10t cable and at the end

78
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:32,319
you've got your typical headphone microphone jacks and you've got a little

79
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:35,919
built-in velcro piece here that you can use for cable management let's go ahead

80
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:39,639
and see if there's anything else that I've missed that's probably slick

81
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:42,440
calling again to tell me the power's out now this is kind of a cryptic thing for

82
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:47,840
Logitech to call out it's got a three-year warranty but check this out what you need Windows 8 Windows 7 Mac or

83
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:51,560
Linux operating system headset and microphone

84
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,600
inputs really that's just sort of bizarre because because it just uses

85
00:05:53,360 --> 00:06:00,000
standard 3 and 12 mm Jacks it'll fit in pretty much anything so there you go uh

86
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:06,319
impedance is 32 ohms if that matters to you and the drivers are 40 mm neodium

87
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:11,160
drivers so I think that pretty much wraps it up so I'll just uh I'll just

88
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:15,280
wrap up with a little bit of you know strutting showing you guys what it looks

89
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:19,639
like when it's installed on the uh the user's head there's that microphone

90
00:06:17,479 --> 00:06:23,319
flexibility so you can put it you know if you have a particularly large head

91
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:27,919
then you can put it like down here oh I never showed sizing so maximum size look

92
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:32,360
at that actually that's pretty good so maximum size is going to look like this

93
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:36,720
on me which is obviously kind of ridiculous and then minimum size is

94
00:06:34,919 --> 00:06:41,919
probably more suitable for like small children than for adult Gamers so I have

95
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,319
a a medium I wear a mediumsized motorcycle helmet so that should give

96
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,880
you some idea and I end up pulling it around halfway down before they actually

97
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:53,639
get comfortable so thank you for checking out this unboxing and first look at the g230 from Logitech don't
