00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:06.680
welcome to another outdoor unboxing today we have from the allnew Logitech G

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:11.880
Series which is different from the old Logitech G Series because all of the

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

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

00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:25.840
their new headset from the new G Series which is a little bit different from the

00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:30.039
rest of the G Series so the selling point for the mice and keyboards is

00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:35.680
their new sort of scientifically engineered coating that they're using to

00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:39.879
reduce the like or well increase the sweat resistance of the products and

00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:45.120
make them less susceptible to just sort of General greasy grossness whereas this

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:48.600
one looks like more of an evolutionary change for their headset line they've

00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:53.160
definitely changed the overall look of it and they've tried to make it a little

00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:58.719
bit more I guess uh travel and land friendly it's a lightweight uh

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:02.480
headset and instead of having things like um

00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:05.760
one of those things that I I either love or hate depending on the implementation

00:01:04.119 --> 00:01:10.799
is like the pleather ear cups that you often find on headsets these ones have a

00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:16.400
mesh a mesh implementation so what mesh does is it allows it to uh breathe more

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

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

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

00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:35.240
the noises around you a little bit better so check this out so they've got

00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:36.560
um very very very deep cushions here and

00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:41.240
this is something that I wish more companies would do see the shape here

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:44.439
it's actually shaped like an ear how many times have you seen a pair of

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:49.680
headphones that are supposedly intended to go around your ear that are round and

00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:53.040
so small that they either interfere with the top of your ear or crush your

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:56.159
earrings against your head if you wear earrings you know for the girl gamers

00:01:54.680 --> 00:02:01.399
out there or the guys with earrings it's not not manly to to wear earrings

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

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

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:13.959
I can put it here we have people walking past which is obviously hilarious right

00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:20.760
now so let's go ahead and see what Logitech has to say for themselves on

00:02:16.519 --> 00:02:23.280
the outside of the box here we go

00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:26.599
performance sport cloth ear cups are removable for cleaning oh I didn't even

00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.800
notice that check this out also they fold completely flat which is convenient

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

00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:40.400
it there we go

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

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

00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:51.840
you can see here is that the constructions I mean the construction

00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:55.319
feels very solid the bands here are metal which is nice I don't really like

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

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

00:03:00.760 --> 00:03:06.560
nicer feel when you're twisting them than the ones that don't have that they

00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:10.840
they'll feel very plasticky without that whereas these feel very smooth but when

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:14.159
I'm packing them flat I would worry a little bit about the fact that this

00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:18.440
doesn't fold flat so it's a minor quibble I mean always be careful with

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:22.080
your electronics anyway but there you go um I do like the width of the headband

00:03:20.040 --> 00:03:27.319
itself up here but what I noticed was that the padding is actually not that

00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:30.159
much wider so in practice when you put

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

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:38.840
that much of an issue because they are extremely light and it's difficult to

00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:42.480
find that balance between light and cheap feeling but I think Logitech

00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:46.680
Struck it again with nice little touches like the O-rings here that make it feel

00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:50.360
a little bit uh a little bit more solid now in terms of Aesthetics Logitech has

00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:55.200
always been good at this on their G Series they've got nice Little chromed

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

00:03:56.959 --> 00:04:03.560
is kind of a red pleather and then these are the removable uh removable ear

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

00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:11.640
plastic Clips I've seen that a number of times where the uh where the optional

00:04:09.959 --> 00:04:15.519
ear cups are attached with these little plastic clips that just break and then

00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:18.880
the Pieces come off inside the headset and uh then they're in there forever and

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

00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:27.639
and put back on uh presumably you just wash them with some detergent and sort

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:31.400
of just scrub them out and get them all cleaned up leave them somewhere to dry

00:04:29.479 --> 00:04:34.120
so so that would be recommended uh the microphone is noise cancelling I don't

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

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

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

00:04:46.280 --> 00:04:54.400
look at how long it is because they've got inline volume control which I

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

00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.919
their more premium headsets where it's built into the side of the headset but I

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

00:05:02.919 --> 00:05:08.000
knob here and then a microphone mute button right here so there's your mute

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

00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:16.280
to clip on to length looks like it can very comfortably reach around to the

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

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

00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:32.319
you've got your typical headphone microphone jacks and you've got a little

00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:35.919
built-in velcro piece here that you can use for cable management let's go ahead

00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:39.639
and see if there's anything else that I've missed that's probably slick

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

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

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.560
Linux operating system headset and microphone

00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:55.600
inputs really that's just sort of bizarre because because it just uses

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

00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:06.319
impedance is 32 ohms if that matters to you and the drivers are 40 mm neodium

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

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:15.280
wrap up with a little bit of you know strutting showing you guys what it looks

00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:19.639
like when it's installed on the uh the user's head there's that microphone

00:06:17.479 --> 00:06:23.319
flexibility so you can put it you know if you have a particularly large head

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

00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:32.360
at that actually that's pretty good so maximum size is going to look like this

00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:36.720
on me which is obviously kind of ridiculous and then minimum size is

00:06:34.919 --> 00:06:41.919
probably more suitable for like small children than for adult Gamers so I have

00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:45.319
a a medium I wear a mediumsized motorcycle helmet so that should give

00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:48.880
you some idea and I end up pulling it around halfway down before they actually

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
