00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:16,240
Welcome to another exciting unboxing. These are the Logitech G930 gaming

2
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:22,800
headphones, headsets, whatever it is you want them to be. They're wireless and

3
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:24,320
they are in 7.1 Dolby surround sound.

4
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,359
So, we're going to go ahead and take a closer look at the back of the box here,

5
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:30,480
which basically tells us everything that we need to know. I suppose gaming grade

6
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:34,079
wireless. So, they're claiming with a range of up to 40 feet or 12 meters, so

7
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:41,520
nothing stands between you and Victory. Sounds good. 7.1 surround sound. Guys, I

8
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:43,920
am not a huge um I'm not a huge advocate

9
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:48,480
of the necessity of surround sound sort of technologies for gaming. I I've

10
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:53,280
always taken sort of a well, you've got two ears, so you probably only need two

11
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:58,079
inputs sort of philosophy. However, if you do enjoy the surround sound

12
00:00:55,039 --> 00:01:00,719
experience, one thing I will tell you is

13
00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:06,240
use a digital surround sound headphone or headset, do not use one with

14
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:10,240
dedicated speakers. And this again sort of comes back to the whole if you have

15
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:16,880
two ears, you probably only need two speakers argument. But when you when you

16
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:21,119
put more speakers into a small area like headphones would have you do, what

17
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:28,640
happens is you end up with a lot of lower quality, lower sound fidelity uh

18
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,560
speakers as opposed to two much larger,

19
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:34,479
much better ones. There's a reason that every high-end, you know, gaming

20
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:39,960
headphone wants to tell you how big the drivers are. And the reason for that is

21
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,720
because bigger drivers basically will

22
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:47,200
equal, you know, a better overall ability to produce noises more better.

23
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:51,200
So lots of smaller speakers is not the solution. Free programmable G keys

24
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,759
allows you to take command over music. Well, what they really allow you to do

25
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:57,680
is do whatever you want. You can program them. So you can set up voice morphing

26
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,759
uh launch chat clients or whatever else. Memory phone line headband should be

27
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,640
good. Noise cancelling microphone. Okay. Oh, glows red when muted and

28
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:10,479
automatically mutes when rotated out of the way. This is a feature we see on a lot of headsets these days. A full speed

29
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:13,440
USB charging base which recharges even while you're still playing and powers

30
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:16,160
the wireless adapter with a single USB connection. So, let's go ahead and put

31
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:21,680
that away cuz we're pretty much done with it now and open up the headset

32
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:25,200
itself. So, it comes in a little plastic clam shell. Looks a little something

33
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:28,560
like this. Comes with a base station. I'm actually going to switch to our

34
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:34,319
wider cam for just a second here so that you guys can see what in the heck I'm

35
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:36,239
doing. There are the G930s. So, right, G

36
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:39,360
series. That basically means optimized for gaming. I'm going to go ahead and

37
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:43,200
throw these on my head for now while I get some idea what I think of them in

38
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:47,360
terms of the comfort. Not bad, actually. The foam's a little bit stiffer than I'm

39
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:51,680
used to encountering. Uh, let's have a look at what is included in terms of

40
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:54,879
accessories. So, inside this right here, love the way Logitech does their

41
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,480
packaging, although they still include CDs. Totally pointless. You can go ahead

42
00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:04,159
and download the latest drivers off of the Logitech website. Getting started

43
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:06,319
with Premier Utiliz Logitech wireless

44
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:08,959
gaming headset G930. It's going to go ahead and point you in the direction of

45
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:14,400
all the buttons that you need to press or or not press. Let's see if any of

46
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:17,360
them are labeled do not press. No. Power buttons, rounds on switch. Let's go

47
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:21,280
ahead and leave that open. End of life battery disposal notice. Okay, cool.

48
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:27,120
That's good to let you know about. Safety, compliance, and warranty. Excellent. So, here's that base station.

49
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:32,159
So, this guy goes ahead and plugs into your computer. You can see it actually

50
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,519
coils up like this. Okay. So, if anyone

51
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:37,200
says they're going to drop a coiler on your desk, you better hope they're referring to this

52
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:45,519
thing. I'm getting a look from the filming crew that would indicate that

53
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:51,360
that joke is not very funny, but it stunk. It's okay. Diesel says my joke

54
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:56,159
stunk. So, I'm going to Wow, this thing is really uh difficult to uncoil.

55
00:03:54,799 --> 00:03:59,879
Although, you know, getting your hands in it probably isn't helping matters at

56
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:04,560
all. So, there you go. Okay. So, there. So, there's a

57
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:09,680
little hub thing. So, you can go ahead and plug this guy into here. So, that's

58
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:13,760
the wireless transmitter receiver. You go ahead and plug that into any USB

59
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:17,600
port. And then this right here plugs into the back of your computer. So, this

60
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:23,199
will act as kind of a hub. So, this will provide power to the headphones/ headset

61
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:28,320
themselves. This will provide signal and power to the dongle and then this plugs

62
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:32,560
into the computer. So, I don't know that this is necessarily the most elegant

63
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:36,320
solution ever in terms of sort of how they've implemented this. Although it's

64
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,840
not the worst. I probably would have personally gone with just two separate

65
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:44,800
cables. Although, I guess since it uses it looks like it uses a standard micro

66
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:48,240
USB. You could Yeah, it just uses a standard micro USB. So, you could go

67
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:52,080
that route if you wanted to as well. It does have little rubber grips on the

68
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:55,520
bottom. So, if you wanted to make sure that it doesn't move on your table, then

69
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,800
you wouldn't really have any issues with that. There you go. I think that pretty

70
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:04,000
much takes care of that. Moving on to the headset itself. So, as I mentioned

71
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,560
before, once you rotate it up and out of the way, it will mute itself. It also

72
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:12,400
glows red for mute. Let's take a closer look and see what we think. And oh, I

73
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,400
probably just adjusted my voice volume because these are they are closed, so

74
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:20,000
they are somewhat noise isolating. I was not able to hear myself very well while

75
00:05:17,919 --> 00:05:24,240
I had them on. So, here we go. Three programmable G keys. These guys right

76
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,840
here are allow you to change your voice effects or do whatever else you want,

77
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:31,360
like a G. Haha. No, I'm getting the head shakes

78
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,400
again. Not a good joke, apparently. Uh, here's your mute button right here if

79
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,759
you did want to mute it manually, even though the boom mic is lowered. You can

80
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,919
adjust the position of the boom mic, although not as much as we've seen on

81
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:46,639
other headsets in the past. Okay. So, there's your microphone there as well as

82
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:50,000
your noise cancelling doodad right here just to make sure that it's only picking

83
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,880
up your voice and not anything else. I mean, it's not that bad, but yeah, I I

84
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:57,280
wouldn't mind seeing something with a little bit more vertical play. There's

85
00:05:55,199 --> 00:06:01,440
your volume right there. Do like to see the volume wheel. Uh, it's the most

86
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,479
comfortable sort of volume adjustment method for me personally. I don't really

87
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:08,400
like tactile buttons for volume. I like to have a nice wheel that I can go, no,

88
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,360
too loud, and sort of quickly reduce like that. There's your power input.

89
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,280
Remember guys, that'll charge the batteries as well as just allow you to

90
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:19,039
use the headset as a wired headset should you so desire. Here's your Dolby

91
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:24,000
headphone button. Nice to have a dedicated button for this. That way you can just kind of decide on the fly if

92
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:27,840
this particular game or this particular movie or song or whatever sounds better

93
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:30,960
to you in one mode versus the other. Power buttons right here. So, we can go

94
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,919
ahead and press that button and the light will This is probably in pairing

95
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,479
mode right now. So, that's probably why it's flashing. On the other side, we

96
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:42,080
don't find much in terms of buttons or anything. So, it's just a speaker in

97
00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:47,759
there and none of the electronics are being housed like that. So, in terms of

98
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:50,240
rotation, they go they go about 90° away

99
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:55,440
from centered from to this side and then just about looks like only about 15 20°

100
00:06:52,960 --> 00:07:00,720
away from centered the other side. So, that gives you about as much adjustment

101
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:05,599
as any sort of human will need. However, if they are intended to be used by

102
00:07:02,599 --> 00:07:08,479
nonhumids, human humanoid humanids

103
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:12,080
homminids, uh, nonhumans, then they'd probably need greater adjustment, but

104
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,080
this should be just fine. I think I did say before that the foam feels a little

105
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:20,880
bit stiff. I'd expect it to break in. Uh, there's memory foam in the top, but

106
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:25,919
it's not the softest memory foam that I've ever felt in the past. Here, I'll

107
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:30,560
give you guys a closer look at that, actually. So, I'll just kind of squeeze

108
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:35,360
it and show you guys. I guess it does take a while to retract. I just wouldn't

109
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:39,440
mind if it was a little bit thicker. And then the ear cups themselves. I I think

110
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:43,520
they specifically call out the memory foam in the top band because I don't

111
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:47,840
think it is memory foam here. This actually, see, you can see that retracts

112
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:52,080
extremely quickly. So, I would expect there to be a bit of a break-in period

113
00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:56,319
with this headset before it would be 100% comfortable, which isn't

114
00:07:53,919 --> 00:08:00,639
necessarily a a shot at it. It's not necessarily a mark against it. I mean,

115
00:07:57,919 --> 00:08:03,759
even my HD555s were not nearly as comfortable at the beginning as they

116
00:08:01,919 --> 00:08:08,840
were after using them for, you know, six months.

117
00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:11,680
But I think that pretty much covers

118
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:15,039
it. Have we missed anything here, folks? Oh, yeah. Right. Adjustments. So,

119
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:20,319
adjustments are pretty Oh, look at that. They're numbered. That's adorable. So, they're numbered from 1 to 11 so that if

120
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:25,199
you, you know, pay attention and you want to know exactly which one you uh

121
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,560
you you prefer, you can go ahead and get it sized for yourself correctly and then

122
00:08:27,039 --> 00:08:32,560
you can always get it back to the right thing if you want. They are it's a metal

123
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:37,200
band, which is nice to see. I've seen too many plastic ear headband

124
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:41,120
adjustments and they just break or they they start to not uh they start to not

125
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,399
click into place over time. So, I do prefer to see metal construction there.

126
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:47,839
Especially if it's the kind of thing where, you know, gamers, they lose and

127
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:52,000
then they're like, "Ah." And they throw their headset off in disgust. I can

128
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:55,360
pretty much guarantee that that headset did survive the fall. And that carpet is

129
00:08:53,920 --> 00:09:00,240
disgusting. Diesel, stop looking at that. Let's come back up here. I'm just going to change camera away from him.

130
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:04,080
So, there you have it, guys. Thank you for checking out my unboxing and first
