 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at the SteelSeries Flux Luxury Edition. So SteelSeries is becoming more and more focused. I mean, like, okay, I've talked about this again and again and again. I love the 7H. It's a gaming headset that's actually legitimately not just good for like, you know, rattling in your skull because it's an actual audio headphone aside from being a headset. So they're becoming more and more about different kinds of audio solutions. So this is their mobile audio, sort of their mobile headphone, although it's SteelSeries, so it's got a mic included with it anyway, just in case you wanted to use it with your phone or your, well, your phone or your computer or whatever else. You want to actually use it for, I don't know, Skype calls or anything like that. So it does have an integrated microphone, but it's mostly for the out and about experience listening to music. These guys have 40 millimeter drivers, which means that you can expect them to actually be able to deliver some bass in spite of the very, very lightweight sort of construction. And I'm just going to open it up. Like the headphones that you can buy at your local big box store that are sort of overpriced and sort of look nice, but actually sound like crap, they look nice. So my expectation for a product like this from SteelSeries, from a brand that I actually trust, unlike sort of no name brand on the shelf at Best Buy or wherever else, is that besides being sort of that fashion statement, lightweight mobile headphone, it'll actually sound decent as well. So I haven't tried them yet, although I will before this unboxing is over. But first I want to show you guys what we have in terms of accessories included. So the cables are a stylish orange, although what's cool is you can configure it the way you want if you order from their web shop. So you can actually swap out things like the cords, the side plates on the headphones themselves. So you can swap these out and you can even swap out the cushions. They're actually made to order. So very, very neat. So the luxury edition, like I said, comes with an orange cord. So this one right here, you can see includes a microphone and plugs into the bottom with a detachable cable. So you just plug that guy in right there and there you have it. The other one that's included is a straight four pole to, hold on just a gosh darn minute. We'll be back in a moment. And we're back. So sorry about that. I did get a little bit confused. It's very straightforward. So in line is a single button with a microphone for the one that is four pole for your phone. So that single button can do a number of things. It can answer calls, play pause, depending on your phone. It can do things like pressing it multiple times for fast forward or rewind or whatever else. This one right here with the split connectors plugs in here and whatever it plugs in there and then has two separate prongs for your input and your outputs for your mic and your headphones. This right here is just an included three and a half inch extension cable because the PC one is not actually necessarily an appropriate length to reach around to the back of your computer. So you can just go ahead and plug these in here in order to make sure that you can actually reach the back of your PC. So that's all fine and good. Now let's get into some of the really cool features. So this is awesome. So their whole marketing thing for this is Go Flux Yourself, which is I think amazing. So it shows you all the different customizability that you can. So there's all the different cable colors and headphone colors and earmuff colors and all that good stuff. Okay, really neat stuff. Number one is padding wise. So these are just rubber pads. Now my initial impression when I put them on was, oh yeah, these seem like they're optimized for someone with more of a square head. Like they sit kind of flat on the top of my head and then they don't really hug the shape of my head. There's a reason for that. All you do is you take the flux and you gently bend them and you go kind of one bend at a time and you are able to, oh even that's better already. You're actually able to change the shape of the headband to get it to fit you just right. Which means that while it doesn't have a soft cushiony padding, it does have soft rubber and if the shape is perfect on your head, it's actually not a bad experience. The next thing, check this out. So you've actually got two 3.5 millimeter jacks. When I first saw that I got a little bit confused, but once I sort of encountered this little manual diagram right here that shows no, it's not for two different input sources. It is for, okay you guys are going to love this. If you have a friend who also has a pair of headphones and you want to sit on the bus and share the same music or you want to sit and watch a movie together on a tablet or something like that, guys if you have a girlfriend then you know that this stuff happens. If you don't have a girlfriend then you're probably watching this video right now instead of spending time with her. You can actually output to a second set of headphones. It's just a standard 3.5 millimeter, SteelSeries hasn't built in any proprietary connectors or anything like that, so you can easily use the Flux headphones to share your content with someone else at the same time. So input here, output there, very, very cool feature. Love it. I also haven't shown the carrying case yet, so there's just a little like nice carry bag that you can put the Flux headphones inside and they also include, these are magnetic, replacements for the stock ones that come with it. So you can actually put black ones on and you can swap them out to something else later on down the line if you'd like, but I personally like the ones that come with the luxury edition here. They do fold, so there you go. You can just fold them up like, well like that apparently. Put them in there and I think that pretty much covers it. I think I mentioned the 40 millimeter drivers, I think I mentioned the travel friendliness, detachable cables, nothing proprietary. I mean for me the killer app is being able to customize the fit. The fact that they aren't like sort of just those stupid fashion headphones that, so they're actually worth a couple bucks compared to what you normally buy in this kind of a category. Oh yeah, I haven't shown the sort of the softness of the ear cups at all. So there's that and being able to share my music or my movie or whatever else it happens to be with someone is the killer app for me. That is outstanding.
