00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:03.521
- Hate the sin, love the sinner, baby. Roccat is sponsoring this video

00:00:03.521 --> 00:00:07.710
to feature their Syn Pro Air wireless gaming headset.

00:00:07.710 --> 00:00:12.232
It's supposed to be super lightweight and super immersive. So, let's check it out.

00:00:12.232 --> 00:00:15.610
This is very phallic. It's the mic boom.

00:00:15.610 --> 00:00:19.710
Cool, it looks like it plugs in, it looks like a rotates. Branding on the side, there it is.

00:00:19.710 --> 00:00:23.130
The dongle also branded. That means it's not Bluetooth.

00:00:23.130 --> 00:00:29.410
It uses 2.4 gigahertz, stellar Wi-Fi technology for our consistent connection that is constantly monitored.

00:00:29.410 --> 00:00:33.257
This is a USBC to USBA adapter.

00:00:33.257 --> 00:00:37.320
Take that Apple! The cable for charging, if and when you have to charge,

00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:41.270
they are advertising a 24 hour battery life which, if you game for three hours a day,

00:00:41.270 --> 00:00:46.793
is like a week of use, which is pretty nice. And, if you do have to charge, 15 minutes of charging

00:00:46.793 --> 00:00:51.070
will get you five hours of play time. And, you get to charge with this big long cable.

00:00:51.070 --> 00:00:55.720
They are quite lightweight, which is what they are saying they are.

00:00:55.720 --> 00:00:59.050
That's cool. Three Hundo, 300 grams. That's pretty light.

00:00:59.050 --> 00:01:05.255
They have like a kind of athletic look almost because they have this meshy kind of wicking material that is consistent

00:01:05.255 --> 00:01:11.516
on the headphones and on the headband. And I can see that these are the live flat kind of rotating

00:01:11.516 --> 00:01:14.710
ear cups that can just contour to your body,

00:01:14.710 --> 00:01:18.776
which is nice. Instead of them always being like this. Which can feel a little, a little claustrophobic.

00:01:18.776 --> 00:01:22.610
You know, a little smothering. So, it's nice to put those down.

00:01:22.610 --> 00:01:26.320
Volume control. It is ratchet. It's going boop, boop, boop, boop,

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:30.750
as they spin it. Doesn't click because it's not a mouse. Power on and off.

00:01:30.750 --> 00:01:36.502
An LED indicator light. Your charging port. Oh, another, another knob, variable mic monitoring.

00:01:36.502 --> 00:01:39.909
Okay. The microphone picture was only on the sticker itself.

00:01:39.909 --> 00:01:42.930
It's a cap. That's why it had a picture of a mic on it.

00:01:42.930 --> 00:01:47.943
It's where you plug the mic in. (off-camera laugh) Okay, cool. So, it looks like it's flexible.

00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:55.150
Hold on. Oh, I found out what this button is. It literally is monitoring.

00:01:55.150 --> 00:02:00.910
It's feeding my audio back into my own ears now. Nice! And then I can turn that down

00:02:00.910 --> 00:02:05.058
to now, it's nothing. Now I just feel isolated. Like I'm wearing headphones. I can just.

00:02:05.058 --> 00:02:09.508
(narrator sings) ♪ That's so good! I can practice my singing. ♪

00:02:09.508 --> 00:02:14.380
- Yeah. So this will mute if you flip it up, it actually gives you an auditory feedback when you flip it

00:02:14.380 --> 00:02:18.540
up. Biboop, boobip. Happy and sad noises.

00:02:18.540 --> 00:02:22.070
Boom. And then it's smooth. Boop, and boop.

00:02:22.070 --> 00:02:25.317
And it actually mutes at this level. You don't have to go all the way up, ah,

00:02:25.317 --> 00:02:28.652
monitoring yourself as really great. You can, you can hear the plosives,

00:02:28.652 --> 00:02:32.551
like, all the annoying things that other people do. You'll know when you're doing them.

00:02:32.551 --> 00:02:35.730
Got to mention the RGV. You can configure this in software.

00:02:35.730 --> 00:02:41.459
We're gonna do that in a minute. But out of the box, you can see that it is glowing through the plastic and it is

00:02:41.459 --> 00:02:45.210
cycling colors in a breathing kind of manner.

00:02:45.210 --> 00:02:49.340
So on top of the rotation, you also get a little bit of kind of tilt on the ear pads.

00:02:49.340 --> 00:02:54.340
That really goes a long way into making these fit on every head. The caliper pressure this way,

00:02:54.340 --> 00:02:59.865
I would say, is not very tight. I have a kind of medium to small head.

00:02:59.865 --> 00:03:05.280
I don't have a melon, but I think that this would probably work for melons because

00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.540
it's not as clamping as a lot of headphones are

00:03:08.540 --> 00:03:12.910
out-of-the-box. You can adjust this much.

00:03:12.910 --> 00:03:18.013
There you go. That's how big your head could be. Cool, and this is the headband padding.

00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:22.163
And, here's the ear cup padding.

00:03:24.288 --> 00:03:27.970
And, the ear cups have pro spec cushion technology so that

00:03:27.970 --> 00:03:32.683
you can wear them with your glasses comfortably. Sometimes you can see or feel that in an ear cup.

00:03:32.683 --> 00:03:36.600
Like, you'll feel like there's a little divot there where your ARM or your glasses goes.

00:03:36.600 --> 00:03:39.700
I don't really detect that. There's nothing visual,

00:03:39.700 --> 00:03:44.684
but that's what they say. I have other headphones where I put them on top like that, but it makes like the angle of glasses, like just stupid,

00:03:44.684 --> 00:03:48.670
but this, you could go, you do whatever you want. For these guys are equipped with

00:03:48.670 --> 00:03:55.680
50 millimeter drivers inside the ear cups. And they are advertising immersive 3D sound. So,

00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.586
it's beyond 7.1 audio by offering dimensions in the

00:03:59.586 --> 00:04:05.530
height and below you kind of planes so that you should be able to hear people all around you for playing Fortnite and

00:04:05.530 --> 00:04:08.620
you're building giant structures and all the little puny

00:04:08.620 --> 00:04:12.730
competitors are down below you. That should be nicely represented in these headphones.

00:04:12.730 --> 00:04:17.060
And, they also have this thing called super human hearing,

00:04:17.060 --> 00:04:20.710
which is them boosting sounds that they think would give you

00:04:20.710 --> 00:04:25.381
a competitive advantage. So, let's say a footstep has a particular frequency range

00:04:25.381 --> 00:04:30.870
that's common to most games. They will boost that so that it's easier to hear things that

00:04:30.870 --> 00:04:34.078
are relevant to you, like footsteps. So, you can get all the kills!

00:04:34.078 --> 00:04:38.560
(laughs menacingly) Okay, battery status hundred percent, nice.

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.730
Superhuman hearing was deactivated by default.

00:04:42.730 --> 00:04:46.870
Uh, I'm going to activate it. Oh, you can adjust how aggressive it is too.

00:04:46.870 --> 00:04:51.210
Let's put it right in the middle. 3D, 3D audio deactivated, let's activate it.

00:04:51.210 --> 00:04:54.780
Game spatializer. I like how everything's off by default, that's cool.

00:04:54.780 --> 00:04:57.793
Channel mix, balanced. What? Oh, this is the,

00:04:57.793 --> 00:05:00.936
this is the difference between game and chat volume.

00:05:00.936 --> 00:05:05.953
And that's in the middle right now by default, cool. You got a master volume and your mic volume are independent.

00:05:05.953 --> 00:05:11.943
And the, on the illumination tab, you can mess with the color value as well as the saturation

00:05:11.943 --> 00:05:15.712
of it. And it connects to AIMO, the RGB ecosystem

00:05:15.712 --> 00:05:22.960
if you have anything there. There's also the option to turn the color we have effect on

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:27.760
and off. Very cool. And then, finally, there's the EQ tab. Equalizer on.

00:05:27.760 --> 00:05:31.137
There's like a dozen different frequencies you can hit here. Yeah, that's pretty good.

00:05:31.137 --> 00:05:33.737
- Oh, there's some, there's some Charlies over here.

00:05:37.490 --> 00:05:39.633
Oh man. All the footsteps I can hear.

00:05:41.790 --> 00:05:46.763
Oh, how much damage did I get you for though, with those crisp sounding shots?

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.988
Oh, he just deagled me. Alright, I've heard enough.

00:05:52.988 --> 00:05:57.350
- And hopefully you have to, these are Roccat Syn wireless headphones,

00:05:57.350 --> 00:06:00.153
about 150 bucks. Check them out at the link below.
