00:00:07.319 --> 00:00:13.559
welcome to my unboxing and first look at a product that's pretty cool now I was

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:19.279
actually looking for something like this uh a number of years ago when I was uh

00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:21.960
when I was sharing oh okay this is just

00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:28.199
cardboard uh when I was sharing living accommodations with somebody as opposed

00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:29.800
to um living on my own and the reason I

00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:34.079
was looking for something like this was that not everyone in the house you know

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:38.399
in a house that is shared necessarily wants to go to bed at the same time so

00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:43.800
if I wanted to watch movies with my girlfriend at the time um late at night

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:49.039
it could be annoying because it's loud and bothersome and you know bass is

00:00:45.879 --> 00:00:51.399
unpleasant for uh for people who don't

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:56.399
want to hear it when they're sleeping um that kind of thing so I was looking for

00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:59.480
something with a wireless

00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:01.960
headphone setup that could support

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:07.640
multip headphones and I ended up not being able to find anything mind do this

00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:10.520
was a couple years ago this solution

00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:16.640
while fairly expensive would have been exactly what I

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:20.200
needed so this is the duo Cinema

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:22.040
170 which is basically the RS 170

00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:26.920
digital wireless surround sound experience I think what they mean is

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:30.040
digital wireless headphones um with

00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:33.640
surround sound it's an experience yo um

00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:37.680
so the it's an RS 170 set which includes

00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:41.399
the dock as well as a pair of headphones

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:42.759
with a supplementary set of HDR 170 so

00:01:41.399 --> 00:01:46.600
that is the headphones now the dock supports up to four at a time but let's

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:50.479
have a look at what senheiser has to say for themselves before we get too much

00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:53.960
further closed circum AAL digital wireless headphones with clears

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:58.000
uncompressed audio transmission okay so what does all of that mean uncompressed

00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:02.600
audio transmission means better quality audio so that's fairly simple what do

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:06.880
closed mean so closed means that the sound is isolated from the people around

00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:10.479
you whatever you're listening to is isolated from the people around you and

00:02:08.679 --> 00:02:14.280
whatever you're listening to is not going to be interfered with by the

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:21.000
ambient noise around you as well so close means that they are somewhat sound

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:23.480
isolating okay uh circum Aral that just

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:26.599
means it goes around your ear so that's pretty straightforward Dynamic

00:02:24.920 --> 00:02:30.800
transducer systems with powerful neodymium magnets for clear and detailed

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:36.560
audio reproduction I don't think that it is necessary for me to say that

00:02:33.640 --> 00:02:41.319
Sennheiser is well known for their phenomenal sound quality um yeah they've

00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:46.120
been doing it a while so I just kind of trust them on this one uh surrounding

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:49.280
Dynam Dynamic based listening modes cool multi-purpose transmitter also functions

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:52.720
as easy charge cradle and docking station multi- receiver transmission up

00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:56.080
to four people listening to the same Source ergonomic and adjustable headband

00:02:54.760 --> 00:03:02.720
for excellent secure fit I had it on backwards before and I was like oh these aren't very comfortable now they are

00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:07.360
uh leatherette ear pad and head pad cushions for outstanding Comfort no

00:03:04.200 --> 00:03:08.959
setup required just plug and play so no

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:14.280
setup required what does that mean that means uh in theory there should be no

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:20.080
sinking of the docking station to the headphones themselves it should be just

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:22.120
basically transmission of sound out and

00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:26.920
receiving of sound in so let's go ahead and open up the accessory package here

00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:30.560
really quick so there's your cck guide

00:03:26.920 --> 00:03:33.560
as well as your random piece of plastic

00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:35.920
the rapid that's so much better in

00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:40.040
French than in English it's awesome uh instruction manual on PDF how to

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.799
activate oh cool okay so here let's check it out so you've got controls on

00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:49.120
the side of the uh on the side of the headphones there's your volume up and down your power button and you can go

00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:52.480
into either surround or base mode actually let's do the close-up look at

00:03:50.640 --> 00:03:58.159
the headphones themselves right now so you got your leather Ed leatherette uh

00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:00.079
cups which you can see have nice deep

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:03.760
padding around them you've also got a very ear-shaped headphone see this is

00:04:02.200 --> 00:04:08.079
the kind of thing that it takes Sennheiser to figure out is that ears

00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:12.519
are not ovals and they're not circles that is the difference between

00:04:10.200 --> 00:04:16.000
audio companies and like gaming companies like there's a well-known

00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:20.799
gaming headset for around 100 bucks not going to name any names but the the

00:04:18.479 --> 00:04:23.840
earphones are like big circles like this and while it accommodates almost any

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:26.800
shape of ear they could have just as easily gone with a big shape like this

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:32.000
and it would have accommodated almost any ear as long as your ears aren't on Sideways and I hope I haven't offended

00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:37.120
any viewers whose ears are sideways on their heads I don't think I have any

00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:43.199
though so there you go the difference between audio products and not audio

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:47.720
products the little things so there's your adjusting hooa on the side of it

00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:52.120
everything that comes with it I don't know we need too much of that oh okay

00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:57.000
cool so you can either not boost so you can un boost or you can uh run it at

00:04:54.080 --> 00:05:01.520
full volume from the uh base station itself shows you how to connect the

00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:04.960
audio device es to it okay all that's pretty straightforward so you can use it

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:13.160
with pretty much anything that supports um a 3 and2 Jack so or 3.5 mm

00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:19.560
Jack um there's power and then there's the 0 D or minus 8 D settings got a

00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:23.720
pretty secure base stand on it shows you when it's charging shows you when it's

00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:30.800
in base or surround and it has a power button on it so that's very very simple

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:34.600
um yeah that's cool so you're not limited to movies you can also have you

00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:40.440
know you can have it plugged into your you know music player of some sort I

00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:43.440
mean do do people still have cd players so you could plug it into one of those

00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:47.400
if you wanted to safety guide look at that it has a bigger safety guide than

00:05:44.880 --> 00:05:51.319
an instruction booklet you got to be really safe about using

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:58.840
this it's like it's like if someone like puts on these headphones and suddenly

00:05:56.440 --> 00:06:03.759
they're like inspired to like oh crash into like something you got to use it

00:06:00.479 --> 00:06:06.599
safely don't like uh yeah don't be

00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:14.520
unsafe okay um bunch of stuff in here no way okay I

00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:18.120
already I'm already okay I'll admit this right now I'm already a bit of a

00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:24.360
Sennheiser like Fanboy over here I love Sennheiser products they just blew my

00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:28.599
mind because they included one of the other products that I'm also like the

00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:32.319
biggest Fanboy of Sano andal loot batteries these things are amazing they

00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:37.199
last forever you can recharge them like a billion times and they are just the

00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:42.000
best rechargeable batteries ever and they include real rechargeable so that

00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:45.960
has a ton of by the way that was my memory card being full not my battery

00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:50.400
running out um so there are a ton of advantages to this one is that that

00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:53.240
means that this is a whatever they are I think they're nickel metal hydride or

00:06:51.840 --> 00:06:59.199
something like that I don't remember I don't remember what kind they are but they're like awesome and anyway it means

00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:02.440
that this is a charger for anal Loops which means means that you can swap

00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:05.479
these out with other more different anal loops and you can actually the great

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.319
thing about anal Loops too is that they hold their charge for an extended period

00:07:07.039 --> 00:07:13.560
of time even when they're not being used and they're not being charged so you can have extra batteries on hand that are

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:16.759
good quality batteries that you can use in all kinds of other things and you can

00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:22.400
easily swap them in and out and charge them on the base charge them in your wall charger whatever else the case may

00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:26.280
be so they included real batteries instead of like crappy non-

00:07:24.840 --> 00:07:30.599
rechargeables which are just going to end up in a landfill and are offensive

00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:35.080
for for that and a number of other reasons including the cost of them which

00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:38.360
is just absurd because you advertise these over how many times you charge

00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:44.039
them over the course of 5 years 10 years and it's like pennies um anyway moving

00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:50.000
on we've got a cord protector we've got a 3 12 mm to 32 mm cable as well as an

00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:55.560
adapter to RCA so you've got everything you need to easily plug this device into

00:07:53.639 --> 00:08:00.159
anything that outputs a stereo signal great you've got oh look at that or

00:07:58.280 --> 00:08:04.039
output yeah so any thing that outputs a stereo signal so you could even plug it

00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:07.560
into like one of the bigger headphone jacks just like that preferably without

00:08:05.840 --> 00:08:15.039
plastic inside the connector next we've

00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:19.440
got power adapter and a bunch of international

00:08:17.080 --> 00:08:23.759
power adapters okay so now let's take a closer look at the headphones themselves

00:08:21.080 --> 00:08:28.039
so they're adjustable here which we sort of have come to expect they have a lot

00:08:26.159 --> 00:08:31.479
of rotation here so even if you have kind of a funny head shape where your

00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:34.800
ears are back here or your ears are like more positioned here no matter what

00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:38.440
you're going to have pretty good Comfort there you've also got there's your

00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:45.360
charging contacts which go onto the base station um and then you've also got your

00:08:41.800 --> 00:08:47.440
pley uh foamy sort of tops right here so

00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:51.519
they're very lightweight actually for wireless headphones and they're also

00:08:49.760 --> 00:08:55.279
very very comfortable just due to the fact that Sennheiser has been doing this

00:08:53.519 --> 00:09:01.640
for a while and they know how to make headphones that fit your head um which I

00:08:58.920 --> 00:09:07.079
mean sounds easy but actually isn't I mean it's just not uh so in here we find

00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:10.959
yeah basically the same thing again I'm not going to bother really taking that out because I don't think we're

00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:16.200
contributing anything at this point but two more anal loops and another pair of

00:09:13.800 --> 00:09:23.560
headphones are inside the second piece there so there you go that is the RS 170

00:09:20.079 --> 00:09:27.399
headphones the duo Cinema package which

00:09:23.560 --> 00:09:31.240
includes two RS 170s and it is also the

00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:35.200
unboxing partial unboxing of the HDR 170

00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:37.560
which is the uh well the not not

00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:41.839
including a receiver so the useless one that only is useful if you already have

00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:44.480
one of these so thank you for checking out my unboxing and First Look I think I

00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:51.399
just said that I think that whole long spiel was okay well then you can just tune out at any time now I'm lonus don't
