 So today we're going to be doing an unboxing of the Logitech G35. I've had a lot of people requesting this. I couldn't get my hands on one. I finally have one. This is a 7.1 surround sound gaming headset. Logitech figures, Victory never sounded this good. That means that you actually have full 7.1 surround, that is multiple speakers per ear cup giving you none of this sort of phony 3D positional algorithm stuff with two speakers. Although there's something to be said for that approach as well. But Logitech has gone ahead and implemented multiple speakers to give you that true positional sound. Now I'm going to preface this with telling you guys that this approach is not ideal for music. I'll tell you that right now. These are not going to be the best music headphones in the world. They're not meant to be. They're part of Logitech's G series. I mean have you seen a Logitech G series keyboard that's ideal for music? Huh? So this is a gaming product first and foremost ahead of any other priorities and that is what the features are designed for. So once I can finally figure out how to stop stalling and get this box open we'll be able to proceed with the unboxing which I have finally managed to do. So we'll go over the back of the box first and have a look at what Logitech has to say for themselves on this here product. 7.1 surround sound powered by Dolby technology delivers a detailed sound field. Excellent. Three swappable headband pads let you choose the one that best fits your head. We'll show you those in a minute. Three customizable G keys for one touch command over music, voice morphing and more. So pretty much whatever you want. One ear audio controls for quick access to volume, mic mute and surround sound adjustments. Adjustable noise cancelling microphone reduces background noise. Awesome. Noise cancelling microphone is a definite plus. Full speed all digital USB connection delivers clean clear audio. So it is entirely non-dependent on your sound card. This is a USB headset. Oh this is just a filler. No, no this has something inside. I'm going to find out what's inside here for you guys so that you don't have to buy one just to find out what's inside this box. Alright so these are the top pieces. So you can see they attach by Velcro. This is the B cup and this is the C cup. So that will cup on your head there. Alright next we'll go ahead and open up the plastic clamshell here. We'll have a look at the G35 itself now that we've seen the accessories. I'm just going to go ahead and see if I can resort to the unboxing knife to get that out of there. Okay. So these are looking pretty nice so far. Let me just hold on. Let me see if there's anything worthwhile in here. There's probably a CD that I'm going to tell you to throw away. Yeah this one. And then there's a quick start guide as well as a tell us what you think inquiry from Logitech. Okay so let's start with the overall look of this guy. Very industrial look. You can see they got little dots and lines. Now it looks a little bit kind of dusty out of the box but I think that's just a byproduct of the finish on here. It's a very satiny velvety type finish so it's not glossy. That means it's going to be very very durable. It's actually made of like a rubber material. You can see that it's quite flexible. So if you were to say for example throw your headphones down in anger and they landed on the rubber here then they should be quite safe indeed. Alright the hinges as you can see are made of, are they made of metal? No okay no no. The adjustable head piece or ear pieces use this metal slider and you can actually, this is kind of nice because if you remember what size you are like oh okay I have it on five and it's the most comfortable then you can just leave it on five at all times and then if someone comes and you know comes into your room and uses your headset then you can easily adjust it back to where you need it to be. So that's pretty cool. The hinges right here have a little bit of sway in them so depending on the shape of your head you're going to be able to have those fit on there nicely and you can see there's a bit of give to them this way. So that's going to account for different head shapes, different ear positioning on the side of your head. You can see here the ear cups have like a nice pleathery material on them that's quite thick. So I'm going to take my hat off in a moment and try these on for reals and see how comfortable they are. You can actually, I don't know if I can get you guys a good angle but from where I'm standing I can see the multiple speakers in there as well and that's pretty cool too. I don't know if you guys are going to be able to see that though it's pretty hard. Oh well no big deal. On the side we've got a Logitech logo on this side. On the other side we're going to find some more stuff. So we've got our G123 keys and those are quite easily accessible on the side of your head. And then we also have a volume control wheel as well as a microphone mute button. And then we've got just a gorgeous braided cord. I don't think I've seen one this thick or with this high quality of a sleeving on it in quite a while actually. It's really nice. Not a gold plated USB connector although it's pretty debatable whether that even matters. Although, oh look at this. No, no. The inside is gold plated which is what actually could potentially matter if it did matter. So the one that's installed by default, you can see the little Velcro thing here, is the A cup. So I guess that's for one size of head. Actually ironically I think that's the largest one. So here we go. Let's throw this on. I'll show you guys the microphone on the side. So we're finding out what size my head is right now. This is quite comfortable. Very cushiony both on the ears as well as on the headband. Now that's unusual out of the box for a high end headset because a lot of them are going to be sort of over tight to ensure that they're not going to squeeze the head of a new user. Although, you know, if I was using these for several hours at a time I'd probably want a break in period to make sure they're going to sit on there real nice. So we've got our lowerable mic here. I'm going to show you guys that sliding action. GIGym with sliding karate chop action on the arm. Anyway, there's the microphone and then the G keys are very easily accessible. You can see that here. I can also easily adjust my volume, mute the microphone, do whatever it is I need to do. So when I'm like, great shot, wow, that guy's such a jerk. I hate encouraging that guy. Yeah, great, go team. So that's very, very convenient as well. I think that's pretty much everything I wanted to say about the G35. They do block quite a lot of sound. I couldn't hear myself very well when I had them over my ears. So while I'm not a hundred percent sure whether they're a closed or an open style headset, my guess would be they're fairly closed just because I don't see any holes here. I don't see any gaps here and they are using a fairly noise isolating material on the ear cups themselves.
