WEBVTT

00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:14.759
now this is something that I've actually been curious about for the longest time

00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:17.160
this is steel series gaming eyewear

00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:22.880
developed with Gunner Optics so the claim and there are many claims

00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:28.840
about these glasses is that they will reduce the overall eye fatigue and eye

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:30.840
strain associated with using a computer

00:00:28.840 --> 00:00:34.680
monitor for prolonged periods of time so I don't know if you guys know this but

00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:39.840
probably on a daily basis I use a computer monitor for anywhere from about

00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:46.039
8 to 12 hours so it's a very very long time and that causes some fatigue on my

00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:53.559
eyes especially at work where I've got three 24in monitors and then a fourth

00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:55.760
17-in monitor it's a lot of eye gouging

00:00:53.559 --> 00:00:58.760
brightness and light that is uh that is making me feel tired so one of the

00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:02.480
things that I did do recently is even though I have a very mild prescription I

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:06.080
tried getting some glasses to see if that would make my eyes feel overall

00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:09.000
less tired all the time so far it hasn't really made a difference I've had them

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:14.479
for a couple weeks the next thing I wanted to try was using the steel series

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:20.600
scope so that's the particular one we're looking at here glasses

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:24.720
now I'm going to make the overall approach to this video fairly simple and

00:01:23.240 --> 00:01:30.000
I'm just going to outline all of the claims that steel series and Gunner

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:32.119
Optics make in addition to just unboxing

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:36.560
looking at the product then what I'm going to do is I'm going to wear these

00:01:34.399 --> 00:01:41.520
glasses every time I'm in front of a screen for at least a week maybe let's

00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:48.240
why don't we say two weeks let's say two weeks to get a feel for whether my eyes

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:50.240
actually experience any difference in

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:52.840
their fatigue level so I'm actually cheating because there's a lot of

00:01:51.719 --> 00:02:00.680
different stuff that they have to say about it I got my iPad there but why don't we start with uh some of the

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:04.280
included okay what is this the digital performance eyewear something okay is

00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:08.800
excellent out of the box non-prescription Gunner eyewear is highly recommended as a solution for

00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:13.319
contact wearers or post corrective surgery parent patients crystalline and

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:19.360
Amber lenses are precisely tuned with Plus point2 diopters for digital screen

00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:22.280
viewing distance okay cool yeah limited

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:25.959
warranty okay uses and care instructions so probably just basically yeah be

00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:31.680
careful with them and use the cleaning solution compatible with the okay y got

00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:33.519
it and and that's like um billion

00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:39.680
different languages okay inside the Box we also find nice little

00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:43.400
sleeve little Gunner thing on it okay we

00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:46.159
find a separate box for the glasses

00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:52.599
themselves and we will have to figure out how those come

00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:54.440
off so what does steel series or and

00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:58.480
Gunner okay so this is a collaborative project here what do they have to say

00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:04.159
about them so I've already outlined what the overall effect is supposed to be but

00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:09.360
let's talk a little bit about how they say they work so number one is the tint

00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:12.040
of the glasses so this is Amber but they capitalize some of the letters and not

00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:18.680
some of the other letters but these are Amber lenses and they're supposed to reduce the amount of harsh bright blue

00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:25.319
light and make everything appear with more of a of a warm color so that is

00:03:21.720 --> 00:03:29.959
supposed to reduce fatigue okay so

00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:32.599
that's the Y yellow him the shape so the

00:03:29.959 --> 00:03:37.040
wrapped curved lens is supposed to retain eye moisture so rather than

00:03:34.640 --> 00:03:41.560
having moisture evaporate away from your eyes much more readily when you're not

00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:45.439
wearing these glasses it is supposed to allow them to retain some of it which

00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:50.799
means that when you're not blinking for a prolong period of time let's say when you're very very focused whether it's on

00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:54.720
a spreadsheet or whether it's on a game uh they are not supposed to dry out as

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.959
easily so that's one of the things that my optometrist actually mentioned when I

00:03:56.519 --> 00:04:02.040
first went in complaining about eye fatigue was make sure you're blinking

00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:07.280
enough because eye dryness can be one of the leading causes of eye tiredness so

00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:10.519
there's that uh the proprietary lens material offers the clearest image

00:04:08.760 --> 00:04:13.640
possible and comprised of lightweight materials for Long Haul ergonomics I can

00:04:12.079 --> 00:04:19.320
tell you guys right now it's very very light the overall glasses including the

00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:23.240
uh including the frames extremely light the coating so they're designed to

00:04:21.320 --> 00:04:27.600
reduce glare and protect the lens okay anti-reflective coating I guess you guys

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:31.680
can be the judges of how anti-reflective it is when I go like this okay the fit

00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:36.280
ergonomically designed the lens and frame solution are constructed Advanced lightweight so okay once again

00:04:34.440 --> 00:04:41.600
lightweight yet durable so let's have a look at how they're

00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:43.080
made so those are the hinges right there

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:48.680
I'd say you still have to be careful with them they're still glasses they got

00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.680
kind of a neat carbon fiber

00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:04.880
ears are crooked so whenever I wear

00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:08.880
glasses that are just kind of off the uh off the rack so to speak the only way

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:12.919
that they fit me properly and evenly is if they grip the head a little bit and

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:17.440
these ones do grip they do hold on just like my uh just like my uh my sunglasses

00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:21.080
but they don't grip too much they're not uncomfortable so that's that's a good

00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:25.400
thing as well okay the benefits for gamers so improves visual efficiency

00:05:23.080 --> 00:05:30.039
with the change in the tint coating focusing power and curvature okay

00:05:28.080 --> 00:05:35.039
improve visual endurance improve visual recovery keep your eyes fresh and

00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:36.520
relaxed okay minimizes eye strain so you

00:05:35.039 --> 00:05:39.840
can get them with a prescription although the ones that are available to

00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:44.240
just like buy online are going to be the non-prescription ones so if you already

00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:48.639
have corrective lenses such as contacts these are going to be ideal for you and

00:05:46.919 --> 00:05:52.039
uh but yeah if you go to Gunner Optics you can actually get them directly from

00:05:49.919 --> 00:05:56.199
them with prescription lenses and oh this is neat so headset

00:05:54.680 --> 00:06:00.840
compatible that's a really good point because most glasses whether they're 3D

00:05:58.440 --> 00:06:04.479
Vision glasses for example Le or whether they are prescription glasses are often

00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:09.199
a bit of a pain with a headset and I wish I had a headset on me but you can

00:06:05.960 --> 00:06:10.720
see how flat to my head these sit so I

00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:15.720
can't imagine there'd be any difficulty with a headset but when I do my Impressions video I will definitely try

00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:19.880
a headset between now and then so I can let you guys know so yeah expect an

00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:24.240
update from me anywhere from sort of let's say 2 weeks to a month from now

00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:28.360
I'll give them a really Lo prolonged trial to see how they go and I will let

00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:33.280
you guys know sort of once and for all from someone who gets very very bad eye

00:06:31.599 --> 00:06:37.599
fatigue just from using a computer so much whether these things are actually

00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:40.960
worth the Fairly Hefty ticket price so thank you for checking out this unboxing

00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:46.560
and first look because we're going to need a much longer look and don't forget
