00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:17,480
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the steel series flux luxury

2
00:00:14,599 --> 00:00:21,400
edition so steel series is becoming more and more focused I mean like okay I've

3
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:26,000
talked about this again and again and again I love the 7h it's a gaming

4
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,759
headset that's actually legitimately not just good for like you know rattling

5
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,719
your skull uh because it's an actual audio

6
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:38,440
headphone aside from being a headset so they're becoming more and more about

7
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:44,079
different kinds of Audio Solutions so this is their Mobile Audio sort of their

8
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:48,320
mobile headphone although it's steel Series so it's got a mic included with

9
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:52,920
it anyway just in case you wanted to use it with your phone or your well your

10
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,800
phone or your computer or whatever else you want to actually use it for I don't

11
00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:00,600
know Skype calls or anything like that so it does have an integrated microphone

12
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:05,760
but it's mostly for the the out and about experience listening to music

13
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:10,799
these guys have 40 mm drivers which means that you can expect them to

14
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:13,439
actually be able to deliver some Bas in

15
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:18,360
spite of the very very lightweight sort of construction and I'm just going to

16
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:23,960
open it up like the headphones that you can buy

17
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:29,200
at your local Big Box store that are sort of overpriced and sort of you know

18
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:32,680
look nice but actually sound like crap they look nice

19
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:37,200
so my expectation for a product like this from steel series from a brand that

20
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:41,439
I actually trust unlike sort of no-name brand on the Shelf at you know best

21
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:45,360
buyer or wherever else is that besides being sort of that fashion statement

22
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:48,799
lightweight mobile headphone it'll actually sound decent as well so I

23
00:01:47,079 --> 00:01:52,840
haven't tried them yet although I will before this unboxing is over but first I

24
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:57,439
want to show you guys what we have in terms of accessories included so the

25
00:01:54,759 --> 00:02:01,320
cables are a stylish orange although what's cool is you can configure it the

26
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:06,880
way you want if you order from their web shop so you can actually swap out things

27
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,000
like the uh cords the side plates on the

28
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:13,000
headphones themselves so you can swap these out and you can even swap out the

29
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,680
cushions they're actually made to order so so very very neat so the luxury

30
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:22,879
edition like I said comes with an orange cord so this one right here you can see

31
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:24,640
includes a microphone and plugs into the

32
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:29,519
bottom with a detachable cable so you just plug that guy in right there and

33
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:37,160
there you have it the other one that's included is a straight um four pole

34
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:40,480
to hold on just a gosh darn minute we'll be back in a

35
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:44,760
moment and we're back so sorry about that I did get a little bit confused

36
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:50,040
it's very straightforward so in line is a single button with a microphone for

37
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:53,640
the one that is four pole for your phone so that single button can do a number of

38
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:57,599
things it can answer calls play pause depending on your phone it can do things

39
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,680
like pressing it multiple times for fast forward or rewind or whatever else this

40
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:06,720
one right right here with the split connectors plugs in here

41
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:11,760
and whatever it plugs in there and then has two separate prongs for your uh for

42
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:16,159
your input and your outputs for your mic and your headphones this right here is

43
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:21,319
just an included 3 and a half in extension cable because the PC one is

44
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:25,040
not actually necessarily an appropriate length to reach around to the back of

45
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:29,920
your computer so you can just go ahead and plug these in here in order to make

46
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:33,599
sure that you can actually reach the back of your PC so that's all fine and

47
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,040
good now let's get into some of the really cool features so this is this is

48
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:41,280
awesome so their whole marketing thing for this is go flux yourself which is I

49
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,200
think amazing so it shows you all the different customizability that you can

50
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,560
so there's all the different cable colors and headphone colors and ear muff

51
00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:53,799
colors and all that good stuff okay really neat stuff number one is padding

52
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:58,840
wise so these are just rubber pads now my initial impression when I put them on

53
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,280
was oh yeah these uh these seem like

54
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,799
they're optimized for someone with more of a square head like they sit kind of

55
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:07,040
flat on the top of my head and then they don't they don't really hug the shape of

56
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:12,480
my head there's a reason for that all you do is you take the flux and you

57
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:15,400
gently bend them and you go kind of one

58
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:20,000
one Bend at a time and you are able to oh even that's better already you're

59
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:22,840
actually able to change the shape of the

60
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:27,280
headband to get it to fit you just right which means that while it doesn't have a

61
00:04:24,919 --> 00:04:31,400
soft cushiony padding it does have soft rubber and if the shape is perfect on

62
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:36,280
your head it's it's actually not a bad experience um the next thing check this

63
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:40,759
out so you've actually got two 3 and 1 12 mm Jacks when I first saw that I got

64
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:44,520
a little bit confused but once I sort of encountered this little manual right

65
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:49,120
diagram right here that shows no it's not for two different input sources it

66
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:54,120
is for okay you guys you guys are going to love this if you and if you have a

67
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:58,000
friend who also has a pair of headphones and you want to sit on the bus and share

68
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:01,160
the same music or you want to sit and watch a movie together on a tablet or

69
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,039
something like that guys if you have a girlfriend then you know that this stuff

70
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,479
happens if you don't have a girlfriend then you're probably watching this video

71
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:13,039
right now instead of spending time with her um sorry that's mean um you can

72
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:16,919
actually output to a second set of headphones it's just a standard 3 and a

73
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:21,199
half mimer steel series hasn't built in any proprietary connectors or anything

74
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:24,919
like that so you can easily use the flux headphones to share your content with

75
00:05:22,919 --> 00:05:30,880
someone else at the same time so input here output there very very cool feature

76
00:05:28,919 --> 00:05:34,800
love it I also haven't shown the carrying case yet so there's just a

77
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:38,520
little like nice carry bag that you can put the flux headphones inside and they

78
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:42,280
also include these are magnetic replacements for the stock ones that

79
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:45,759
come with it so you can actually put black ones on and you can swap them out

80
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:49,039
to something else later on down the line if you'd like but I personally like the

81
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:54,680
ones that come with the luxury edition here they do fold so there you go you

82
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:58,800
can just fold them up like well like that apparently put them in

83
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:02,919
there and I think that pretty much covers it I think I'm mentioned the 40mm

84
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:07,280
drivers I think I mentioned the travel friendliness detachable cables nothing

85
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:11,840
proprietary I mean for me the killer app is being able to customize the fit the

86
00:06:09,599 --> 00:06:15,680
fact that they aren't like sort of just those stupid fashion headphones that so

87
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,880
they're actually worth a couple bucks compared to what you normally Buy in

88
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,160
this kind of a category oh yeah I haven't shown the sort of the softness

89
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:27,520
of the ear cups at all so there's that and being able to share my music or my

90
00:06:25,479 --> 00:06:30,800
movie or whatever else it happens to be with someone is the killer app for me

91
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:36,720
