yes my friends we have a whole lineup of course our gaming headsets to have a look at today starting with the Raptor line and ending with the Vengeance 2100 s lots of new stuff here this is 2100 soar Corsairs flagship wireless headphones they are an updated version of the 2000s and honestly there isn't that much that's different included with them we have Corsairs USB audio / wireless dongle we've also got a little extender base station for it so you can have it in the front of your PC and then still plug it into the back and finally we have a charging cable that can be used to charge the ten-hour battery of the Vengeance 2100 s or run them in Wired power mode so that you can have an unlimited amount of gameplay time next up we've got the headphones themselves which have an updated ID with a brushed dark look that I actually think looks much better than the original vengeance 2000s they have the same overall softness so a nice cushy extremely wide headband as well as nice cushy and soft although not um not like out of the box off but more the type of foam that molds to your head over time but nice deep ear cushions they have been updated for better durability so if there was anything that people didn't like about the 2000 it was probably that they seem to have durability issues the 2100 s I seek to completely address that they have 50 millimeter drivers just like the rest of course there's high-end headphones actually the 2000s used to have better drivers than the rest of the lineup but more on that in just a moment and finally they use microfiber cloth on the memory foam ear cups so that you're going to be nice and comfortable and not have you know sweaty pleather against your skin because for some people I know that is an issue looking at you Jeremy next up we have the Vengeance 1500 v2s now I don't see these being officially called v2 anywhere but someone said that to me at PAX or something so I'm rolling with it and they definitely have been updated in enough of a way that I would say it justifies a v2 moniker so they come with Dolby headphone right out of the box that supports 5.1 or 7.1 or something like that you know virtual speakers around your head they of course to support that functionality have a USB soundcard built into them just like Corsairs previous 1500 however unlike the previous 1500 they have the newer 50 millimeter drivers just like the Vengeance 2000 they have a newer ID that again I think looks quite a bit better although it's so similar to the 2100 s it actually sort of raises the question why they bothered to change it's like well we put a Corsair logo here instead of here either way they both look really good so when I say that they look very similar I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing just like the previous Vengeance 1500s they have inline volume control as well as a mute button which has actually been streamlined a little bit made a little bit more low-profile and just like the Vengeance 2100 so they have microfiber covered memory foam on the ear cups which are going to mold to your head over time is a nice wide headband as well as a boom mic that can be adjusted according to how you need it to be positioned one thing I that I very I'm very sorry I missed on the Vengeance 2100 is the volume wheel as well as the power button over here the volume wheels key because the other headphones have inline volume control so I that's different I guess at this point we might as well just stop pretending that we're unboxing things at all here and we're going to kick off with the vengeance 1400 it adds the same better 50 millimeter drivers to the 1300s in much the same way that the 1500 v2 adds those better drivers to the 1500s it has the same upgraded ID so I'm going to do my little turn on the catwalk I don't think that's how they normally turn on the catwalk but we're not too worried about that the inline volume control is also also less bulky now and unlike the 1500 v2 s we have analog connectors so if you're using something like your own sound card or an external USB DAC or something along those lines then this will be the option to go with I actually feel quite strongly that analogue connectors on my headphones make more sense for me because I am less interested in fancy surround software and more interested in having a better quality source for the audio although your mileage may vary on all of this and if you want Wireless then you don't really have the option of analog at all because the whole thing has to be powered by something so they tend to be USB and they get down you know circuitry inside the headphones to do things unless you like built like a battery pack let's strap to your neck and like you know a sound card into the bottom or something and just when you thought our unboxing couldn't get any less unboxing I'm not even going to open this one because this is the HS 40 which is pretty much the same thing as the HS 30 but with a USB connector rather than an analogue connector so I actually have two of these except that I don't because Corsairs PR and their marketing each sent me one and then they both sent me just the HS 40 because it's pretty much the same as the HS 30 thinking that I could just you know sort of make do without that one and then the funny thing is they sent me two headsets but then I ended up with doing the same one instead of two different ones anyway so the wraptor line is course there's more value oriented gaming peripherals they call them gaming essentials and I think they've really achieved that because they're still comfortable they're the HS 40 is surround but not not Dolby Surround so it still has the same implementation that vengence 2000 had back when it was released their lower cost so they can with 40 millimeter neodymium drivers versus 50 millimeter drivers there's no memory foam and they use LED thread instead of microfiber cloth but overall they're still comfortable they're still lightweight they still have you know a boom mic they still have inline volume control but it's a little bit bulkier so it just comes down to how much of a budget do you have do you want to spring for the higher-end vengence that you know has a little bit of a nicer like matte look or are you okay with the raptors and their lower cost and you know proportionally lower performance thank
