WEBVTT 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. 00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:11.360 So this is the Siberia full-size headset. But what you probably can't see 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 00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:19.439 is quite popular, makes a couple of key changes. First of all, they've done away 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 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, 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:32.079 but you still can do that by buying Siberia headphones and then just like a 00:00:29.599 --> 00:00:35.840 random third party clip-on mic. Neither here nor there. They've also improved 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:40.160 the comfort level of these heads of this headset as well as the sound quality. 00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:45.280 So, they've actually made a lot of improvements over the older Siberia. So, 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 00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:54.879 by removing the tab at the back. Now 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:58.879 Steeler is not, you know, uh, uh, known as an audio file class headphone, but 00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:03.280 it's not really what they market their products towards. What they do market 00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:06.560 them towards is gamers. So what they're saying is that it is pro gaming 00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:11.439 optimized, which means crystal clear highs, lows, and mid tones. And these 00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:16.720 are also closed type headphones. And what closed means is that when you have 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 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:25.360 get distracted by any other noises that you hear. And it also means that others 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:30.400 cannot hear what's going on inside the earphones or headphones, sorry, either. 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 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:39.600 ado, here is the Steeler Professional Gaming Gear uh pamphlet, which shows you 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:44.479 a bunch of their other uh products that would go along with this one. Okay, 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:46.240 thank you very much. And then, uh what 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 00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:55.119 loud to hurt your hearing. Okay, so then you've got a Steel Series sticker. Okay, 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 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:04.079 headsets. This is one of the standard ones that plugs directly into a sound 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:07.280 card. They do have ones that include USB sound cards. Uh it looks like they've 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:12.239 also made some improvements to the inline volume and mic switch, but I'm 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 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 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 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:26.959 gamers tend to bump these and then they go berserk when their mics don't work. 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.640 I've seen it happen many times. Then you got your volume control on the side. 00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:34.879 Now, one thing that Steeler does with most, if not all of their headsets is 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:39.200 they include kind of a two-length cable. So, here the cable terminates where you 00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:43.280 can plug into the back of something like a 7G keyboard or another keyboard that 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:48.480 has a pass through audio. And then it also comes with a nice long extension 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 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 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.720 your computer. Very nice. Okay. So then 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 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 00:03:05.519 --> 00:03:11.280 the headphones themselves. Now the V2s are available in both black and white 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. 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:19.760 So they go on this way. And something to 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 00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:27.760 that the headset is suspended. So 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 00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:36.480 the suspension mechanism that they have here makes the headphones much more 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:40.879 lightweight and much more comfortable to wear for extended periods. And while I 00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:44.239 can't vouch for extended periods, I can tell you right off the bat that these 00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:49.360 are extremely light headphones and that they do fit quite comfortably because 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 00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:57.840 pleathery material. Okay, so then last but not least, oh yeah, it uses 50 mm 00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:04.239 drivers. I should probably mention that. So it's quite a large driver for like a 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:06.480 gaming headset. Um, okay. Last thing is 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 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:13.280 was talking about before, you have a little retractable mic that is totally 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:17.040 adjustable. So you can kind of like play around with where you want it to sit. 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:22.959 And I think that pretty much covers it. Thank you for checking out my unboxing 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.959 of the Steeler Siberia V2.
