 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at Corsair's 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. It is completely different than that. The Vengeance 2000 is a unique SKU in that it is wireless. So you can see there's like radiating signals of wirelessness coming out of this... Yes, there we go. Out of this USB dongle right here. So what you do is you plug this into 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 will be closer to your face so that you can get a proper wireless signal out of it. We're just going to 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. Next we've got a safety leaflet. Wow, I just spit on myself. That's disgusting. Okay, safety leaflet. Prohibition of disassembly. Don't take apart the battery cell. Oh, I understand. Safety. Don't dispose of entire all that good stuff. Quick start guide. I'm assuming plug the thing into the thing in all likelihood. Included stuff. Getting started. Patted headband, make sure you don't inhale it. Moving right along, plug in the dongle, plug in the extension. You can charge the... Here we go. Oh yeah, this. So you can charge the headphones using the included cable. Okay, cool. Then once the battery life indicator is green, disconnect the headset from the power cable and get going. All right, general tips, adjust 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 Corsair means by that is virtual 7.1 because there only are 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 10 hours of battery life. And honestly, guys, if you're on a raid for more than 10 hours straight, I get wired headphones. Okay. Free yourself up to 10 hours of battery life in a range of up to 40 feet. Cool. Okay. Use audio cues to locate your components, your opponents. Okay. And then you can charge 50 millimeter drivers. Okay. We've pretty much covered this play for hours. Padded headphone, let's see, playing cover for hours. You can even use the Vengeance 2000 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 raiding, 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 grade memory and components. And I think that pretty much speaks for itself. All right. Warranty wise, what have they got on here? Usually they have some kind of a warranty message on the box. 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 Quick Start 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. It sticks out of the side, but in most cases won't interfere. No, I'm just kidding. So it's wireless obviously. However, the charging cable, I'll show you guys where that plugs in. Right on the back of the left ear cup right here, it uses micro USB. So you don't have to use the included Corsair cable, but you can and it's pretty boughs. 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 their keyboards and mice. You've also got on the side a volume adjust wheel, which has got that nice cross hatched the medley 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 now that I've had it pointed out to me in the most obvious possible fashion. Check this out. Memory foam inside the ear cups, which are the usual comfy cozy ear cups that Corsair is 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 1300s because the guy has got a really high end sound card and didn't want to use the USB 1500s and just took the 7Hs back from the guy. I was like, look, sorry I recommended that. See if this works for you. The guy 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 adjustableness. I mean, look, this is how big your head could be and the Vengeance would fit just fine. Your head could be like this. It could be like, whoa, 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. Looks just like that. Okay. You got holes here, holes there. That should help with noise cancellation. All right. I covered the memory foam already. I covered that they're comfortable already. You got a plethora of 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 and you're all like, bam, bam, fred you and someone like totally throws something at you and it hits the foam, it's going to be like, and it's not even going to 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 shiny. Oh, look, it's slick. And then I don't even know if it caught them, but whatever. And I think that pretty much covers it. I mean, 10 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, or not this, I mean, this wirelessness would add latency that's any worse than what you're already experiencing over your internet connection with TeamSpeaker Vent 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 on Linus Tech Tips.
