two so we're here in the Corsair Booth again uh amidst some very mixed company
0:14
uh there's like some guy over there he's kind of he's kind of got like a tall
0:19
dark and uh evil look about him I I
0:22
don't know what to what to make of that guy anyway Let's uh move on to what
0:25
Corsair is announcing in terms of headsets they have a whole heck of a lot
0:29
going on this is the Vengeance 2100 which is an evolutionary step forward
0:34
from the Vengeance 2000 so it's still Wireless it has an updated ID so it's
0:39
got uh like a metal coating on here that looks really sharp got like a nice
0:43
brushed look very dark look to it the same comfortable ergonomic sort of nice
0:48
soft cushions memory foam and all that good stuff soft cushion headband but
0:53
more than anything else it has been updated for better durability so it is
0:57
even more robust than before and the drivers that used to be in the Vengeance
1:02
2000 which were a little bit better than what we found in the 1500 and the 1300
1:07
are still here but with the new 1500 V2
1:10
which has Dolby 7.1 it has the newer drivers that were
1:15
in the Vengeance 2000 as well as an updated ID that looks in my personal
1:20
opinion much sharper they've also updated the uh the pinching pressure the
1:24
clamping pressure on your head so it should provide a good mixture of comfort
1:28
and uh well staying this the Vengeance 1400 is an update on the Vengeance 1300
1:34
that adds those better drivers updates the ID once again for those of you who
1:39
don't know ID means industrial design so the look of it and other than that so it
1:43
should just sound better in general and look better in general and these two are
1:48
all new these are prototypes right now this is the Raptor hs40 and hs30 so the
1:53
hs40 is a USB headset just like the 1500
1:56
it has surround but not Dolby and it is
2:00
aimed at sort of a lower cost uh lower cost gamer market so it has 40 mm
2:06
drivers instead of 50 mm drivers and a bit of a sort of more value oriented
2:11
overall build quality so no no memory foam it's using a leatherette instead of
2:16
microfiber cloth and then the hs30 is an analog version of pretty much more and
2:21
the same they've got like a very angular shape to the side here that looks quite
2:25
sharp oh I missed actually one thing on these ones over here is that the inline
2:30
volume control has been updated to be less bulky on both the 1500 V2 and on
2:36
the 1400 so there you go guys don't miss
