WEBVTT 00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:17.480 welcome to my unboxing and first look at the steel series flux luxury 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:21.400 edition so steel series is becoming more and more focused I mean like okay I've 00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:26.000 talked about this again and again and again I love the 7h it's a gaming 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:30.759 headset that's actually legitimately not just good for like you know rattling 00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:34.719 your skull uh because it's an actual audio 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:38.440 headphone aside from being a headset so they're becoming more and more about 00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:44.079 different kinds of Audio Solutions so this is their Mobile Audio sort of their 00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:48.320 mobile headphone although it's steel Series so it's got a mic included with 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 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 00:00:54.280 --> 00:01:00.600 know Skype calls or anything like that so it does have an integrated microphone 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:05.760 but it's mostly for the the out and about experience listening to music 00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:10.799 these guys have 40 mm drivers which means that you can expect them to 00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:13.439 actually be able to deliver some Bas in 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:18.360 spite of the very very lightweight sort of construction and I'm just going to 00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:23.960 open it up like the headphones that you can buy 00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:29.200 at your local Big Box store that are sort of overpriced and sort of you know 00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:32.680 look nice but actually sound like crap they look nice 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:37.200 so my expectation for a product like this from steel series from a brand that 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:41.439 I actually trust unlike sort of no-name brand on the Shelf at you know best 00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:45.360 buyer or wherever else is that besides being sort of that fashion statement 00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:48.799 lightweight mobile headphone it'll actually sound decent as well so I 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:52.840 haven't tried them yet although I will before this unboxing is over but first I 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:57.439 want to show you guys what we have in terms of accessories included so the 00:01:54.759 --> 00:02:01.320 cables are a stylish orange although what's cool is you can configure it the 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 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:09.000 like the uh cords the side plates on the 00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:13.000 headphones themselves so you can swap these out and you can even swap out the 00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:16.680 cushions they're actually made to order so so very very neat so the luxury 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 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:24.640 includes a microphone and plugs into the 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:29.519 bottom with a detachable cable so you just plug that guy in right there and 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:37.160 there you have it the other one that's included is a straight um four pole 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:40.480 to hold on just a gosh darn minute we'll be back in a 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:44.760 moment and we're back so sorry about that I did get a little bit confused 00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:50.040 it's very straightforward so in line is a single button with a microphone for 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 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:57.599 things it can answer calls play pause depending on your phone it can do things 00:02:55.720 --> 00:03:00.680 like pressing it multiple times for fast forward or rewind or whatever else this 00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:06.720 one right right here with the split connectors plugs in here 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:11.760 and whatever it plugs in there and then has two separate prongs for your uh for 00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:16.159 your input and your outputs for your mic and your headphones this right here is 00:03:14.440 --> 00:03:21.319 just an included 3 and a half in extension cable because the PC one is 00:03:19.480 --> 00:03:25.040 not actually necessarily an appropriate length to reach around to the back of 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 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 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 00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:41.280 awesome so their whole marketing thing for this is go flux yourself which is I 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:44.200 think amazing so it shows you all the different customizability that you can 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:48.560 so there's all the different cable colors and headphone colors and ear muff 00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:53.799 colors and all that good stuff okay really neat stuff number one is padding 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:58.840 wise so these are just rubber pads now my initial impression when I put them on 00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:00.280 was oh yeah these uh these seem like 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:03.799 they're optimized for someone with more of a square head like they sit kind of 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 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 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:15.400 gently bend them and you go kind of one 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 00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:22.840 actually able to change the shape of the 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 00:04:24.919 --> 00:04:31.400 soft cushiony padding it does have soft rubber and if the shape is perfect on 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 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 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:44.520 a little bit confused but once I sort of encountered this little manual right 00:04:43.080 --> 00:04:49.120 diagram right here that shows no it's not for two different input sources it 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 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 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 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:04.039 something like that guys if you have a girlfriend then you know that this stuff 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:07.479 happens if you don't have a girlfriend then you're probably watching this video 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:13.039 right now instead of spending time with her um sorry that's mean um you can 00:05:10.840 --> 00:05:16.919 actually output to a second set of headphones it's just a standard 3 and a 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:21.199 half mimer steel series hasn't built in any proprietary connectors or anything 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:24.919 like that so you can easily use the flux headphones to share your content with 00:05:22.919 --> 00:05:30.880 someone else at the same time so input here output there very very cool feature 00:05:28.919 --> 00:05:34.800 love it I also haven't shown the carrying case yet so there's just a 00:05:32.520 --> 00:05:38.520 little like nice carry bag that you can put the flux headphones inside and they 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:42.280 also include these are magnetic replacements for the stock ones that 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 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 00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:54.680 ones that come with the luxury edition here they do fold so there you go you 00:05:51.960 --> 00:05:58.800 can just fold them up like well like that apparently put them in 00:05:56.840 --> 00:06:02.919 there and I think that pretty much covers it I think I'm mentioned the 40mm 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:07.280 drivers I think I mentioned the travel friendliness detachable cables nothing 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:11.840 proprietary I mean for me the killer app is being able to customize the fit the 00:06:09.599 --> 00:06:15.680 fact that they aren't like sort of just those stupid fashion headphones that so 00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:18.880 they're actually worth a couple bucks compared to what you normally Buy in 00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:23.160 this kind of a category oh yeah I haven't shown the sort of the softness 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 00:06:25.479 --> 00:06:30.800 movie or whatever else it happens to be with someone is the killer app for me 00:06:29.919 --> 00:06:36.720 that is outstanding thank you for checking out this unboxing and first look at the flux 00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:39.639 luxury edition from steel series
