WEBVTT 00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:16.240 Welcome to another exciting unboxing. These are the Logitech G930 gaming 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:22.800 headphones, headsets, whatever it is you want them to be. They're wireless and 00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:24.320 they are in 7.1 Dolby surround sound. 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, 00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:30.480 which basically tells us everything that we need to know. I suppose gaming grade 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 00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:41.520 nothing stands between you and Victory. Sounds good. 7.1 surround sound. Guys, I 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:43.920 am not a huge um I'm not a huge advocate 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:48.480 of the necessity of surround sound sort of technologies for gaming. I I've 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 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:58.079 inputs sort of philosophy. However, if you do enjoy the surround sound 00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:00.719 experience, one thing I will tell you is 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:06.240 use a digital surround sound headphone or headset, do not use one with 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:10.240 dedicated speakers. And this again sort of comes back to the whole if you have 00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:16.880 two ears, you probably only need two speakers argument. But when you when you 00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:21.119 put more speakers into a small area like headphones would have you do, what 00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:28.640 happens is you end up with a lot of lower quality, lower sound fidelity uh 00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:30.560 speakers as opposed to two much larger, 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:34.479 much better ones. There's a reason that every high-end, you know, gaming 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:39.960 headphone wants to tell you how big the drivers are. And the reason for that is 00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:42.720 because bigger drivers basically will 00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:47.200 equal, you know, a better overall ability to produce noises more better. 00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:51.200 So lots of smaller speakers is not the solution. Free programmable G keys 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.759 allows you to take command over music. Well, what they really allow you to do 00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:57.680 is do whatever you want. You can program them. So you can set up voice morphing 00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:01.759 uh launch chat clients or whatever else. Memory phone line headband should be 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:04.640 good. Noise cancelling microphone. Okay. Oh, glows red when muted and 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 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:13.440 USB charging base which recharges even while you're still playing and powers 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:16.160 the wireless adapter with a single USB connection. So, let's go ahead and put 00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:21.680 that away cuz we're pretty much done with it now and open up the headset 00:02:19.160 --> 00:02:25.200 itself. So, it comes in a little plastic clam shell. Looks a little something 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.560 like this. Comes with a base station. I'm actually going to switch to our 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 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:36.239 doing. There are the G930s. So, right, G 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:39.360 series. That basically means optimized for gaming. I'm going to go ahead and 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 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 00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:51.680 used to encountering. Uh, let's have a look at what is included in terms of 00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:54.879 accessories. So, inside this right here, love the way Logitech does their 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:58.480 packaging, although they still include CDs. Totally pointless. You can go ahead 00:02:56.959 --> 00:03:04.159 and download the latest drivers off of the Logitech website. Getting started 00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:06.319 with Premier Utiliz Logitech wireless 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:08.959 gaming headset G930. It's going to go ahead and point you in the direction of 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 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:17.360 them are labeled do not press. No. Power buttons, rounds on switch. Let's go 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:21.280 ahead and leave that open. End of life battery disposal notice. Okay, cool. 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. 00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:32.159 So, this guy goes ahead and plugs into your computer. You can see it actually 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:33.519 coils up like this. Okay. So, if anyone 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 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:45.519 thing. I'm getting a look from the filming crew that would indicate that 00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:51.360 that joke is not very funny, but it stunk. It's okay. Diesel says my joke 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:56.159 stunk. So, I'm going to Wow, this thing is really uh difficult to uncoil. 00:03:54.799 --> 00:03:59.879 Although, you know, getting your hands in it probably isn't helping matters at 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:04.560 all. So, there you go. Okay. So, there. So, there's a 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 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:13.760 the wireless transmitter receiver. You go ahead and plug that into any USB 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:17.600 port. And then this right here plugs into the back of your computer. So, this 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:23.199 will act as kind of a hub. So, this will provide power to the headphones/ headset 00:04:20.239 --> 00:04:28.320 themselves. This will provide signal and power to the dongle and then this plugs 00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:32.560 into the computer. So, I don't know that this is necessarily the most elegant 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:36.320 solution ever in terms of sort of how they've implemented this. Although it's 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:39.840 not the worst. I probably would have personally gone with just two separate 00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:44.800 cables. Although, I guess since it uses it looks like it uses a standard micro 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:48.240 USB. You could Yeah, it just uses a standard micro USB. So, you could go 00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:52.080 that route if you wanted to as well. It does have little rubber grips on the 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 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:58.800 you wouldn't really have any issues with that. There you go. I think that pretty 00:04:57.520 --> 00:05:04.000 much takes care of that. Moving on to the headset itself. So, as I mentioned 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 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 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:16.400 probably just adjusted my voice volume because these are they are closed, so 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:20.000 they are somewhat noise isolating. I was not able to hear myself very well while 00:05:17.919 --> 00:05:24.240 I had them on. So, here we go. Three programmable G keys. These guys right 00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:26.840 here are allow you to change your voice effects or do whatever else you want, 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:31.360 like a G. Haha. No, I'm getting the head shakes 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:34.400 again. Not a good joke, apparently. Uh, here's your mute button right here if 00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:37.759 you did want to mute it manually, even though the boom mic is lowered. You can 00:05:36.320 --> 00:05:41.919 adjust the position of the boom mic, although not as much as we've seen on 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:46.639 other headsets in the past. Okay. So, there's your microphone there as well as 00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:50.000 your noise cancelling doodad right here just to make sure that it's only picking 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 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:57.280 wouldn't mind seeing something with a little bit more vertical play. There's 00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:01.440 your volume right there. Do like to see the volume wheel. Uh, it's the most 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:04.479 comfortable sort of volume adjustment method for me personally. I don't really 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, 00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:11.360 too loud, and sort of quickly reduce like that. There's your power input. 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:15.280 Remember guys, that'll charge the batteries as well as just allow you to 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:19.039 use the headset as a wired headset should you so desire. Here's your Dolby 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 00:06:22.080 --> 00:06:27.840 this particular game or this particular movie or song or whatever sounds better 00:06:25.919 --> 00:06:30.960 to you in one mode versus the other. Power buttons right here. So, we can go 00:06:29.440 --> 00:06:33.919 ahead and press that button and the light will This is probably in pairing 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:38.479 mode right now. So, that's probably why it's flashing. On the other side, we 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 00:06:39.919 --> 00:06:47.759 there and none of the electronics are being housed like that. So, in terms of 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:50.240 rotation, they go they go about 90° away 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:55.440 from centered from to this side and then just about looks like only about 15 20° 00:06:52.960 --> 00:07:00.720 away from centered the other side. So, that gives you about as much adjustment 00:06:58.080 --> 00:07:05.599 as any sort of human will need. However, if they are intended to be used by 00:07:02.599 --> 00:07:08.479 nonhumids, human humanoid humanids 00:07:05.599 --> 00:07:12.080 homminids, uh, nonhumans, then they'd probably need greater adjustment, but 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 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 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 00:07:24.080 --> 00:07:30.560 give you guys a closer look at that, actually. So, I'll just kind of squeeze 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 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 00:07:37.840 --> 00:07:43.520 they specifically call out the memory foam in the top band because I don't 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:47.840 think it is memory foam here. This actually, see, you can see that retracts 00:07:45.520 --> 00:07:52.080 extremely quickly. So, I would expect there to be a bit of a break-in period 00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:56.319 with this headset before it would be 100% comfortable, which isn't 00:07:53.919 --> 00:08:00.639 necessarily a a shot at it. It's not necessarily a mark against it. I mean, 00:07:57.919 --> 00:08:03.759 even my HD555s were not nearly as comfortable at the beginning as they 00:08:01.919 --> 00:08:08.840 were after using them for, you know, six months. 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:11.680 But I think that pretty much covers 00:08:08.840 --> 00:08:15.039 it. Have we missed anything here, folks? Oh, yeah. Right. Adjustments. So, 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 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:25.199 you, you know, pay attention and you want to know exactly which one you uh 00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:28.560 you you prefer, you can go ahead and get it sized for yourself correctly and then 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 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:37.200 band, which is nice to see. I've seen too many plastic ear headband 00:08:34.800 --> 00:08:41.120 adjustments and they just break or they they start to not uh they start to not 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:44.399 click into place over time. So, I do prefer to see metal construction there. 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:47.839 Especially if it's the kind of thing where, you know, gamers, they lose and 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:52.000 then they're like, "Ah." And they throw their headset off in disgust. I can 00:08:49.760 --> 00:08:55.360 pretty much guarantee that that headset did survive the fall. And that carpet is 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. 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:04.080 So, there you have it, guys. Thank you for checking out my unboxing and first 00:09:01.920 --> 00:09:07.600 look at the G930 from Logitech.
