00:00:05.720 --> 00:00:11.759
The Arc mid2 by fractal design features massive air flow and highly flexible

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:17.480
liquid cooling support click now to learn more welcome to an unboxing of

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:20.160
something I am super super stoked on

00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:24.400
these are the mes Classics 88s I got them in the satin finish however they

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:31.160
are available in either satin or glossy and much like the in ear so those were

00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:33.399
the 11s these use a real wood grain

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:39.680
finish in order to achieve what is a very unique very well classic look as

00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:44.000
well as according to reviews that I've checked out so far although I haven't

00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:49.960
had an extensive amount of time with them yet at all um pretty darn decent

00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:53.280
sound so it's one thing to pick up a pair of fashion headphones knowing what

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:59.120
you're getting yourself into and that their fashion headphones it's quite another to get something that looks

00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:01.879
outstanding and also sounds really great

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:06.400
so it comes with AES sticker just like that okay pretty straightforward comes

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:12.400
with a removable Breakaway cable that also includes a 3 and 1/2 to qu inch

00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:16.720
Jack there you go so much for metric right uh so there you go so it includes

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:20.520
either you can plug it in directly to 3 and 1/2 mil or you can plug in the

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:25.280
adapter it screws in so it's nice and secure and then look at this guys so

00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:29.040
even here on the 3 and half mil it's got a wood grain finish just like that so

00:01:27.479 --> 00:01:32.920
remember every one of these is going to be slightly unique and then there on the

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:37.000
other end you can see again it's got a wood green finish to it absolutely

00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:41.159
beautiful love it and then the headphones themselves so they're packed

00:01:38.479 --> 00:01:44.600
in a nice soft foam which I think is going to make it pretty difficult for

00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:49.280
them to get damaged in shipping they've got a bit of a unique sort of system for

00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:53.479
mounting to your head one that I haven't really used extensively before so you

00:01:51.320 --> 00:02:02.119
can see they fit perfectly into there and that is like this so adjustments are

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:03.840
um not really something that you do with

00:02:02.119 --> 00:02:08.440
this so it gives them a bit of a lightweight frame so they just use two

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:13.720
bars here that have a metal core and then kind of a a rubber outside and then

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:19.160
these guys right here are meant to sit on your head wherever they will so they

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:21.680
articulate here just like that and then

00:02:19.160 --> 00:02:28.040
they also articulate right here so the idea is that once you put them

00:02:25.239 --> 00:02:32.280
on okay so they they kind of EX they kind of extend and change the shape of

00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:37.560
the headset so it should fit your ears just fine now it kind of works for me

00:02:36.239 --> 00:02:42.760
one thing I notice about them immediately however is because it

00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:47.440
doesn't use a full-sized headband it's squeezing in on my head a little bit

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:52.480
however these pads right here you can see that they use a very um they don't

00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:55.760
use like a memory foam or anything like that so they use a bit of a harder foam

00:02:54.200 --> 00:03:00.720
so what I'm expecting is a bit of a Breakin period before these really sit

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:04.519
on my head really nicely so my HD 555s from Sennheiser were quite similar they

00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:08.560
didn't use a soft foam they used a bit of a harder foam so upon initially

00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:12.040
putting them on they weren't that comfortable but once they break in and

00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:15.440
once you're the only one who wears these for an extended period of time that foam

00:03:13.640 --> 00:03:18.440
is nice and thick and I'm expecting it to sit there quite comfortably they're

00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:22.280
extremely lightweight in spite of the Wood Construction which obviously weighs

00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:26.560
more than plastic which is what you'll find on most headphones these days even

00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:30.920
very high-end headphones which is a bit of a of a bizarre thing to me it should

00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:34.439
be noted however that wood does change the acoustic characteristics of the

00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:39.799
headset you so you can expect a bit of a warmer sound they sit on top of the ears

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.480
so rather than actually even though they're they're larger style headphones

00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:47.519
they sit um well okay I think I already said it

00:03:45.640 --> 00:03:51.120
they sit on top of your ears rather than completely around them this is something

00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:55.959
I'm not really used to but hopefully I'll be able to give you guys my Impressions maybe on our weekly live

00:03:53.959 --> 00:03:58.959
stream the W show at some point let you know what I think of them once I've

00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:02.400
really had more time to spend with them but I want to show you guys just a

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:07.200
little bit more Glam here of the interconnect so here on the ear cup is

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:11.840
where you plug in the Breakaway cable uh very very nice finish to the cord uh to

00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:14.799
the braid on the cord as well so that's not going to get snagged on anything and

00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:19.000
it should make it reasonably cat resistant I did have a problem with that

00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:25.840
with a pair of Sennheiser PC 350s that were destroyed by Rumble when he was a

00:04:21.919 --> 00:04:27.400
kitten anyway mes logos on either side

00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:31.960
and then you can see that there's also another articulation Point here these

00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:36.320
actually flip all the way around which uh could be could be confusing if if

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.880
they're both kind of like that and you don't have the cord plugged in or whatever and you're like oh well this is

00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:45.080
weird how do I get it to actually face my ear well the answer is like this so

00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:49.800
what we see revealed when we move those away though are airports up here so

00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:53.360
these are going to be designed to optimize base response so without any

00:04:51.880 --> 00:04:58.199
porting whatsoever you're going to find most headphones are not going to uh

00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:01.639
deliver that that base that people really do demand but I like what they've

00:04:59.960 --> 00:05:05.720
done see where you can see that there's a bit of a gap here so that those ports

00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:08.720
aren't going to be totally useless but they also haven't put them on the bottom

00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:13.600
of the a cup so they're completely invisible and all you really see is the

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:18.000
gorgeous wood green finish so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the

the desire let me know what you think of these would you rather have something

that just plain costs less and isn't made out of wood or do you feel a little

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:39.720
bit better having you know a nice pair of headphones hanging off of your

00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:43.080
headphone holder next to your desk and do you like the feeling of wearing

00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:46.960
something that's a little bit unique just even if it's a bit of a different

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.479
