welcome to my unboxing and first look at something I'm I'm actually really excited about so I never got a chance to try the PC 360s from Sennheiser which were basically kind of like an open version of the PC 350 s these are the people okay I can't really show you them this is a black box with absolutely nothing on and no out these are the PC 360 3ds which are an upgraded version of the PC 360s with a couple of tweaks so much like the PC 350 SES which it's just like it's ergonomic squeaks more than anything else the 360 3ds make a couple of cool changes so first of all let's see what Sennheiser has to say for themselves two year warranty noise cancelling mic what else they got 7.1 bilby sound card included very cool now it should be noted guys buy 7.1 I mean virtual 7.1 if there's any headphone that you see that actually has three speakers per ear disregard them they're not a serious product because you have two ears so you should need exactly two audio sources when they're right next to your ears in order to generate surround sound as long as it's being done properly you do not need a bunch of speakers around your ears and you're sacrificing driver size for this perceived value of having multiple speakers so ya go with Virtual Surround if you must have surround triple-xl velvet ear pads pro noise cancelling microphone integrated volume control in the air cap and a high quality rugged cable is what they have to say for themselves it's pretty much it so let's have a look at what we've got included in the box there's a Quick Start Guide which shows you how to get the 3d game one sort of thing going on which I believe is their USB doodad this guy right here so it plugs in via USB it's a sound card 3d Game one engaged I'll look at that lights up when you plug it in and it's got like little cable management things going on here so you can go ahead and run your cable through here into here and then it'll just kind of sit there like that and look all style it's got some weight to it which is really encouraging because you see plenty of these little you be soundcard so what they essentially are is there an amp and the digital analog converter it's a sound card and it just runs over USB sound is not particularly data intensive so it's not necessary - ok interesting that's probably what Oh need ok so you probably push it in order to engage surround and then you turn it off - not so you see lots of these things and the included ones often weigh nothing they seem really cheaply made this one does not it has a metal backing on it has a nice sliding piece led so yeah please install the software driver before inserting this into your support you don't have to use that though and quite frankly if you're someone like me who already hears an extension cable there you go so you can cause a nice short cable on it if you're someone like me who has what is quite frankly a better audio solution than this I mean for all however good this might be I have a better one this is an a soos essence one this is a 600 700 dollar DAC an amp that is dedicated for just amplifying headphones I also have as owners ents in the computer itself so there's one of those which is also got a headphone amp on it also a very high quality sound card so I would opt to use them with the analog connections and this is what drives me crazy about headsets that come with just a USB connection you don't even have the option of plugging them in using a higher quality source so you can't buy them as sort of a stepping stone in between while I'm going to upgrade my headphones now and then I'll upgrade my sound card later so I love the ones that give you the option by including these connectors which I really don't think cost that much and including the USB sound card as a separate piece so these feel very reminiscent of my HD 5 v 5s they have that same Velvet earcup design they are an open design which means that I can hear what's around me and people can hear what I'm listening to like many Sennheiser headphones they have quite a hard foam it's doesn't yield much but what that means is that they will eventually break in over time and my 5 v 5s are incredibly comfortable now that I've had them for a long time I like that Sennheiser has a nice wide headband on this this is something that I complain about when I scene headbands because it just spreads out the pressure on your head a bit more and makes them more comfortable out of the box now the other advantage of an open headphone is that it's good for ventilation air is allowed to freely pass in and out and around your ears so you might not end up with that like that sweat mark around the outside of your head that you can get sometimes with the the pleather or I mean okay using like genuine leather is better but using like a pleather or a plastic material here can cause that got a nice long cable on here so it's one Linus arm span by about another sort of Linus arm length so presumably that's around I guess eight feet long or so no inline controls as you guys may or may not have noticed and personally I prefer this because inline controls you've got five kind of fumble for them in the middle of something is it's not actually that great so the microphone is controlled by simply hold on I don't know if you guys are going to hear this there's a little click there raising and lowering the microphone will mute it and activate it just like that and then volume control is done with a dial here on the right headphone so I prefer this I think this is better than fumbling around for it and it's very intuitive I want to mute my mic I put my mic up I want it on I put it down the mic is adjustable but only a little bit I do like retractable mics better than these boom mics so you can adjust where it sits in relation to your head it's noise cancelling so you've got that's the noise cancellation mic on the back and that's the one for your actual voice but what you'll notice is that for someone like me with a big schnoz if I bring this into the correct position close to my mouth here I'm going to be breathing on it directly so as long as the noise cancellation is good we shouldn't have too much difficulty not much in terms of ear cup rotation however unless your ears are positioned sort of on the front or the back of your head that's not really going to be an issue and size adjustments are ample check this out so I could wear them comfortably with about this much space on the top of my head and then if I was a very small person and I wanted to wear headphones then I would wear them about like that so you're going to not have too much trouble with that non detachable cable I think that pretty much covers a nice big ear cup so even with even with wearing earrings you can see they've got a little box in there so these are little tweaks that Sennheiser makes to make sure that their audio products sound better than other people's audio products there's your open ventilation holes in the side there so yeah so I should probably show you guys this one last thing so even though I wear earrings there's still no pressure on the earrings against the side of my head and that's one of the things that I find so comfortable about these nice extra-large ear cap style headphones from the likes of Sennheiser thank you for checking out this unboxing and first look at the 360 3d from Sennheiser don't forget to subscribe to honest tech tips from unboxings reviews and other sorry I muted it there I thought that we had a bit of a problem there but it turned out that it
