Corsair Vengeance 2000 Wireless Gaming Headset Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2012-07-05
welcome to my unboxing and first look at coursers new flagship headset this is the Vengeance 2000 now the Vengeance 2000 is not just like you know the Vengeance 1500 plus 500 more or even the Vengeance 1300 plus 700 more is completely different than that the Vengeance 2000 is a unique SKU and that it is wireless so you can see there's like radiating signals of wireless nasai of this yes there we go out of this USB dongle right here so what you do is you plug this in to your computer directly or ideally you actually don't plug it into your computer directly but you rather plug it into this doohickey right here like that and then you put it somewhere where it'll be closer to your you know face so that you can get a proper Wireless okay we're just gonna put these away for now we're done with that my entire prop use for those headsets is finished let's show you what it comes with and then we'll talk a little bit about what makes this headset special so one is stop don't return this to the retailer two is warranty guide okay next we've got a safety leaflet right I just like spit on myself was disgusting okay safety leaflet prohibit prohibition of disassembly don't take apart the battery cell oh I understand safety don't dispose of and fire all that good stuff Quick Start guy I'm assuming plug the thing into the thing in all likelihood okay included stuff getting started whole padded headband make sure you don't like you know inhaler moving right along plug in the dongle plug in the extension uh hi you can charge the oh yeah this so you can charge the headphones using the included cable okay cool then looks the battery life indicator is green disconnect the headset from power cable and get go in alright general tip suggest for comfort okay cool so all that sounds pretty straightforward let's see what Corsair says is special about this before we get a little bit more into it so this is a wireless 7.1 gaming headset so I think what of Corsair means by that is virtual 7.1 because they're only our two drivers however with the effects you actually can hear positional audio which is kind of neat personally I'm more of a 2.0 guy when I'm using my headphones I find I can figure out the directionality just fine but it comes down to the preference of the individual user and you don't have to put it in 7.1 mode 50 millimeter drivers just like their other headphones so that means we're not using teeny tiny tinny drivers but rather bigger ones that can actually deliver some bass great okay optimize positional audio up to ten hours of battery life and honestly guys if you're on a raid for more than ten hours straight I get wired headphones okay free yourself up to ten hours of battery life and a range of up to forty feet cool okay use audio cues to look at your component your your your components your opponents okay large 50 millimeter drivers okay we've pretty much covered this plate for hours padded heaven let's you playing covered forever so you can even use the vendors mm when it's recharging via the included USB charge cable okay so there you go you don't have to get wired headphones in fact what you can do is after 10 hours of rating you can be all like oh shoot my headphones I can't hear anyone no one can hear me you can plug them in plug it into your computer and keep on going great the Corsair advantage long history building enthusiast great memory and components and I think that pretty much speaks for itself alright warranty wise what do they got on here usually they have some kind of a warranty message on the box and you know what let us find that out for you and we'll be back in just a moment yes a two-year warranty just like their other headsets we had to search for it though usually it's on the package in this case it is on the back of the QuickStart guide so let's go ahead and have a closer look at the product itself so you can see that it clearly plugs in via USB and attaches to the headset just like this now this dongle sticks out on the side but in most cases won't interfere noms okay so let's wireless obviously however the charging cable I'll show you guys where that plugs in right on the back of the left ear cap right here it uses micro USB so you don't have to use the included Corsair cable but you can and it's pretty boss see it's got like a clear sheath around it and then the other end is like the Corsair blue USB cable that also looks pretty boughs just like there are keyboards and mice you've also got on the side a volume adjust wheel which has got that nice cross hatch the metal ii thing going on which is very very comfortable as well on this side you find no buttons hold on okay slick pointed out that apparently i'm a moron because I couldn't find the power button and it's obviously right here so that's the power button there's your power indicator volume there that's pretty self-explanatory know that I've had it pointed out to me the most obvious possible fashion check this out memory foam inside the ear cups which are the usual comfy-cozy ear cups that coursers using they are very very comfortable I actually recommended someone get a 7h headset because I personally really like the 7h however they ended up being really unhappy with them because they weren't comfortable enough so I actually traded my pair of Corsair Vengeance 1300 s because the guys got a really high-end sound card and didn't want to use the USB 1500s and just took the seven H's back from the guy was like look sorry I recommended that see if this works for you the guys couldn't be happier he's like yeah these are fantastic because between the memory foam the large ear cups that will accommodate even large ears and the size of your head and the hugeness of the adjustable nasai mean look this is how big your head could be and the vengeance would fit just fine like your head could be like this it could be like wool like alien head guy and no problem not that I'm saying that people who need to you know open it up all the way have alien heads because that might alienate some of my viewers but that's not what we're going for here so moving right along boom mic so it's just like that okay you got holes here holes there that should help with noise cancellation alright I covered the memory for already I covered that they're comfortable already you got a plethora material with also more foam padding here and for whatever reason foam padding on the top I mean realistically you may wear them like this so the foam padding on the top is actually quite essential also with foam padding on the top if you're playing a game you're all like ba-bam fragged you and someone like totally throw something at you and he hits the foam it's gonna be like and it's not even gonna hurt at all so that's what's really great about that as well you've also got cool metal accents okay they're made of plastic but they look like metal as well as other metal accents that once again are made of plastic but they look really cool and if you like shine them up then they're like super fun you know look it's like and then I don't even know if I caught him about whatever and I think that pretty much covers it I mean ten hours of operation you just kind of plug it in whenever you're not using your computer which is fine Wireless really is convenient and latency wise I can't imagine that this would add any not this I mean um this Wireless this would add latency that's any worse than what you're already experiencing over your internet connection with teamspeak event or mumble or whatever it is you're using so I really don't see a downside to wireless gaming equipment in this context thank you for checking out this unboxing and first look online is tech tips and don't forget to subscribe
