slick claimed he would start recording while I was making that face I didn't believe him but then he did it so here
0:13
we have the game talk Pro 2 wireless gaming headset this particular one is
0:17
for PS3 although there is an Xbox 360
0:20
version as well so let's go ahead and open this bad boy up and have a look
0:27
see I'm going to talk more about it once we've actually got it open because with
0:31
headsets there's not much to say until I get a chance to actually put them on my
0:36
head and see how comfortable they are because honestly for me with a gaming
0:40
headset what it really comes down to more than anything else is how
0:43
comfortable is this thing going to be after a couple of hours and I've gotten
0:47
pretty good at evaluating how that's going to go down so this guy is a
0:52
wireless gaming headset it's a console gaming headset so it's not going to be
0:55
that relevant to the PC viewers in the audience and it includes a rechargeable
1:00
ium uh polymer battery so that is the charging cable charges by USB so that's
1:05
convenient enough it also comes with the necessary adapter for PS3 functionality
1:10
and let's go ahead and get it opened up
1:13
oh actually I'm kind of
1:16
surprised that's not bad so overall build feels fairly solid
1:21
we've got a significant amount of cushioning on the headband here do we
1:24
have enough light right now it's the light in here is kind of funny today uh
1:28
because of the Sun moving and uh Sun
1:31
shouldn't move it should just do what it's told so yeah so sorry there's a
1:35
fair amount of cushioning here these are
1:38
clicky enough that they don't move by accident but fairly easy to adjust okay
1:42
so you can adjust it fairly easily that's good you've got an adjustable
1:45
boom mic this is actually hilariously adjustable look at
1:50
this I could put it I could be like oh
1:53
wow I'm wearing this headset and like I
1:56
need my mic exactly here
2:01
and it wouldn't move I actually love that so uh you can you can actually move
2:05
the whole thing up if you want and hide it you don't have to for a second I
2:09
thought I thought you had to like bend it like this if you didn't want although
2:13
you have that option check this out so you can you can be like yeah yeah guys okay
2:19
hold on a second my mom's calling me for dinner so I got to
2:23
go amazing right okay or you can do this
2:26
so whichever whichever one looks less dorky to you probably doesn't make that
2:30
much of a difference so let's talk about some of the features so syncs directly
2:34
to your PS3 console with no cord or dongle required we've got the wireless
2:38
microphone for online chat sure okay I actually have a list over there because
2:41
I didn't want to forget anything so I'm just going to kind of look past the
2:44
camera uh oh it does have built-in noise
2:47
cancellation so that's good if you don't want to actually hear your mom call you
2:51
for dinner because you'd rather keep gaming than play than uh play dinner eat
2:54
dinner see you can tell I've been there right play dinner um powerful nice can
2:59
so Crystal Clear communication independent controls for game audio chat volume and digital special effects
3:03
speaking of uh individual controls aha so here we go there's your voice chat
3:08
volume there's your charging there's your master volume over here you've got
3:13
your sync you've got your power and mute and you have your effects so digital
3:18
special effects you can tailor your preferred sound with base boost 3D effects and trouble boost includes
3:22
rechargeable batteries we already talked about that plus game talks Universal
3:26
universal digital digital audio interface so that's this guy right here
3:32
for use with the PS3 allowing HDMI or conventional AV
3:38
connections between your console and TV with no additional adapters does this plug into itself no
3:44
it cannot okay what else are we missing here I don't think that's it I I or I
3:49
don't think that's it I think that's it so base boost 3D effects trouble Boost
3:53
wireless gaming headphones got an illuminated logo
3:56
independent controls for game game audio cool cool cool
4:02
and I think that's pretty much it when it comes to comfort actually they've
4:05
done not a bad job at all so check this out you've got an inordinate amount of
4:09
foam now this is a fairly hard foam so my feedback about harder fo well I
4:14
shouldn't say hard foam it's not hard foam but it's um more more springy it's
4:19
not like a memory foam so what you'll probably find about these headphones is
4:23
that they might not be ideally comfortable at first but once you've
4:28
broken them in and once they've molded to your head a little bit they will be
4:31
potentially more comfortable than one that comes with a softer foam that
4:36
always Springs back to its to its full original shape so that's something to
4:40
bear in mind it's also got very very very Deep Pockets so you can see it
4:44
mushes down a lot so there's a lot of room for it to break in much like a pair
4:48
of shoes your ears should fit in here as long as you don't have like pretty huge
4:52
ears mine do okay so there you go that's the size of my
4:57
ears that's meaningful to you guys at all
5:01
um and check this out before putting on
5:05
the headset turn the game chat and game volume controls to the lowest level put
5:08
the headphones on and slowly adjust the volume control still comfortable I have
5:12
that's like basically like the hot warning on the outside of the coffee mug
5:15
to me that that's actually amazing
5:18
because it's like yeah don't accidentally like if you guys watch my
5:22
Ancient Ancient video on my ncixcom Channel with uh the Beats by Dr Dre
5:27
headphones I actually accidentally did that they were like cranked up like
5:30
really really loud and I put them on I was like oh no okay so thank you for
