1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,720 So today on my video blog, I'm going to be unboxing a new product from Steeler. 2 00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:11,360 So this is the Siberia full-size headset. But what you probably can't see 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:15,920 is that there's a little V2 here. So the V2 version of the Siberia headset, which 4 00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:19,439 is quite popular, makes a couple of key changes. First of all, they've done away 5 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,960 with the clip-on mic. So, it used to be it was just kind of a headphone and then 6 00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:27,760 a clip-on mic that you put on the wire or your shirt, which I have always thought was kind of a ghetto solution, 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:32,079 but you still can do that by buying Siberia headphones and then just like a 8 00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:35,840 random third party clip-on mic. Neither here nor there. They've also improved 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:40,160 the comfort level of these heads of this headset as well as the sound quality. 10 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:45,280 So, they've actually made a lot of improvements over the older Siberia. So, 11 00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:51,920 without further ado, why don't we hurry up and get this box open? So you start 12 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:54,879 by removing the tab at the back. Now 13 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:58,879 Steeler is not, you know, uh, uh, known as an audio file class headphone, but 14 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:03,280 it's not really what they market their products towards. What they do market 15 00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:06,560 them towards is gamers. So what they're saying is that it is pro gaming 16 00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:11,439 optimized, which means crystal clear highs, lows, and mid tones. And these 17 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:16,720 are also closed type headphones. And what closed means is that when you have 18 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:20,400 the ear cups over your ears, it blocks out the outside noise so that you don't 19 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:25,360 get distracted by any other noises that you hear. And it also means that others 20 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:30,400 cannot hear what's going on inside the earphones or headphones, sorry, either. 21 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:34,799 Okay. So, I kind of don't know where I was going with that, but without further 22 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:39,600 ado, here is the Steeler Professional Gaming Gear uh pamphlet, which shows you 23 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:44,479 a bunch of their other uh products that would go along with this one. Okay, 24 00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:46,240 thank you very much. And then, uh what 25 00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:50,159 is this? To avoid permanent hearing. Oh, it's telling you not to turn it up too 26 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:55,119 loud to hurt your hearing. Okay, so then you've got a Steel Series sticker. Okay, 27 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:59,119 and then we get to the cables. So, this is not a USB version of one of their 28 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:04,079 headsets. This is one of the standard ones that plugs directly into a sound 29 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,280 card. They do have ones that include USB sound cards. Uh it looks like they've 30 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:12,239 also made some improvements to the inline volume and mic switch, but I'm 31 00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:16,080 not 100% sure about that cuz I have a different one myself. So, you've got a 32 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,040 mic on and off button here. And what I like about this is it's actually quite 33 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:23,599 hard to hit by accident because it's flush with the rest of it. Um a lot of 34 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,959 gamers tend to bump these and then they go berserk when their mics don't work. 35 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,640 I've seen it happen many times. Then you got your volume control on the side. 36 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:34,879 Now, one thing that Steeler does with most, if not all of their headsets is 37 00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:39,200 they include kind of a two-length cable. So, here the cable terminates where you 38 00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:43,280 can plug into the back of something like a 7G keyboard or another keyboard that 39 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:48,480 has a pass through audio. And then it also comes with a nice long extension 40 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:51,840 cord should you not have a setup like that. So, if you don't use your front 41 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,720 audio or whatever, then it's a long enough cable to go around to the back of 42 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,720 your computer. Very nice. Okay. So then 43 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:03,519 next thing we need to do is remove these plastic tabs as well as these uh zip 44 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:07,280 ties at the or not zip ties sorry twist ties at the back and then we can free 45 00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:11,280 the headphones themselves. Now the V2s are available in both black and white 46 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:17,519 but the version I have here today is the white version as you can see. All right. 47 00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:19,760 So they go on this way. And something to 48 00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:25,760 have a look at before you before you sort of get too far into this is the way 49 00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:27,760 that the headset is suspended. So 50 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:32,080 Steeler claims, and I'm about to find out whether it's true in a moment, that 51 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:36,480 the suspension mechanism that they have here makes the headphones much more 52 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:40,879 lightweight and much more comfortable to wear for extended periods. And while I 53 00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:44,239 can't vouch for extended periods, I can tell you right off the bat that these 54 00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:49,360 are extremely light headphones and that they do fit quite comfortably because 55 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:54,080 they use an enormous ear cup that is very, very soft. It's kind of a soft 56 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:57,840 pleathery material. Okay, so then last but not least, oh yeah, it uses 50 mm 57 00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:04,239 drivers. I should probably mention that. So it's quite a large driver for like a 58 00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:06,480 gaming headset. Um, okay. Last thing is 59 00:04:04,239 --> 00:04:09,920 this is where the mic is now included. So rather than having that clip-on mic I 60 00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:13,280 was talking about before, you have a little retractable mic that is totally 61 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:17,040 adjustable. So you can kind of like play around with where you want it to sit. 62 00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:22,959 And I think that pretty much covers it. Thank you for checking out my unboxing 63 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,959 of the Steeler Siberia V2.
