one so today we're going to be doing an unboxing of the Logitech G35 I had a lot
of people requesting this I couldn't get my hands on one I finally have one this
is a 7.1 surround sound gaming headset
Logitech figures Victory never sounded this good that means that you actually
have full 7.1 surround that is multiple
speakers per ear cup giving you none of this sort of phony 3D positional
algorithm stuff with two speakers although there's something to be said
for that approach as well but Logitech has gone ahead and implemented multiple
speakers to give you that true positional sound now I'm going to
preface this with telling you guys that
this approach is not ideal for music I'll tell you that right now these are
not going to be the best music headphones in the world they're not
meant to be they're part of Logitech G Series I mean have you seen a Logitech G
Series keyboard that's ideal for music
huh so this is a gaming product first
and foremost ahead of any other priorities and that is what the features
are designed for so once I can finally
figure out how to stop stalling and get this box open we'll be able to proceed
with the unboxing which I have finally managed to do so we'll go over the back
of the box first and have a look at what Logitech has to say for themselves on
this here product 7.1 surround sound powered by dub technology delivers a
detailed sound field excellent three swappable headband pads let you choose
the one that best fits your head we'll show you those in a minute three
customizable G keys for One Touch command over music voice morphing and
more so pretty much whatever you want on ear audio controls for quick access to
volume mic mute and Surround Sound adjustments adjustable noise cancelling
microphone reduces background noise awesome noise counseling microphone is a
definite plus full speed All Digital USB connection delivers clean clear audio so
it is entirely non-dependent on your sound card this is
a USB headset oh this is just this is
just a filler no no this has something inside I'm going to find out what's
inside here for you guys so that you don't have to buy one just to find out
what's inside this box all right so these are the uh top pieces so you can
see they attached by velcro this is the b cup and this is the C cup so that'll
cup cup on your head there all right next we'll go ahead and
uh open up the plastic clamshell here
we'll have a look at the G35 itself now that we've seen the
accessories I'm just going to go ahead and see if I can uh you know what let's
resort to the unboxing knife to get that out of there okay so these are looking
pretty nice so far let me just hold on let me see if there's anything
worthwhile in here there's probably a CD that I'm going to tell you to throw away
okay uh yeah this one and then there's a
quick start guide as well as a tell us what you think um inquiry from Logitech
okay so let's start with the overall look of this guy very industrial look
you can see they got you know little dots and lines now it looks a little bit
kind of Dusty out of the box but I think that's just a byproduct of the finish on
here it's a very satiny uh velvety type finish so it's not glossy that means
it's going to be very very durable it's actually made of like a rubber material
you can see that it's quite flexible so if you were to say for example throw
your headphones down in anger and they landed on the rubber here then they
should be quite safe indeed all right the hinges as you can see are made of oh
they're are they made of metal no okay no no the
adjustable uh head head piece or earpieces use this metal slider and you
can actually this is kind of nice because if you remember what size you
are like oh okay I have it on five and it's the most comfortable then you can
just leave it on five at all times and then if it someone comes and you know
come comes into your room and uses your headset then you can easily adjust it
back to where you need it to be so that's pretty cool the hinges right here
have a little bit of sway in them so depending on the shape of your head
you're going to be able to have those fit on there nicely and you can see
there's a bit of give to them this way so that's going to account for different
head shapes different ear positioning on the side of your head you can see here
the ear Cups have like a nice pley material on them that's quite thick so
I'm going to take my hat off in a moment and try these on for reals and see how
comfortable they are you can actually H I don't know if I can get you guys a
good angle but from where I can from where I'm standing I can see the
multiple speakers in there as well and that's uh that's pretty cool too I don't
know if you guys are going to be able to see that though it's pretty hard oh well
no big deal on the side we've got a Logitech logo on this side on the other
side we're going to find some more stuff so we've got our g123 keys and those are
easily accessible on the side of your head and then we also have a volume
control wheel as well as a microphone mute button and then we've got a just a
gorgeous braided cord I don't think I've seen one this thick or with this high
quality of a sleeving on it in quite a
while actually that's really nice not a goldplated USB connector although it's
pretty debatable whether that even matters although oh look at this no no
the inside is goldplated which is what actually could potentially matter if it
did matter so the one that's installed by default you can see the little velcro
thing here is the uh the a cup so I guess that's for uh one size of the head
actually ironically I think that's the largest one so here we go let's throw
this on I'll show you guys the uh microphone on the side so we're finding
out what size my head is right now this is quite comfortable very cushiony both
on the ears as well as on the headband now that's unusual out of the box for a
high-end headset cuz a lot of them are going to be sort of overtight to ensure
that they're not going to squeeze the head of a new user although you know if
I was using these for several hours at a time I'd probably want to break in
Period to make sure they're going to sit on there real nice so we've got our
lowerable mic here I'm going to show you guys that sliding
action like GI gym with sliding karate
chop action on the ARM anyway there's the microphone and
then the G keys are very easily accessible you can see that here I can
also easily adjust my volume mute the microphone do whatever it is I need to
do so when I'm like great shot oh that
guy's such a jerk I hate encouraging that guy yeah great go team so uh that's
very very convenient as well I think that's pretty much everything I wanted
to say about the G35 they do block quite a lot of sound I couldn't hear myself
very well when I had them over my ears so while I'm not 100% sure whether
they're a clo closed or an open style headset my guess would be they're fairly
closed uh just because I don't see any holes here I don't see any gaps here and
they are using a fairly noise isolating material on the ear cups themselves for
so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Logitech G35 surround
