 Welcome to Linus Tech Tips at CES 2013. Our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair, maker of quality PC components and peripherals. Our trusted storage partner is Seagate Technology, and our trusted networking partner is Linksys. Okay, very competitive for a back-up keyboard. All right, moving on, you brought up the headphone amp and all these headphones earlier, and you seemed really excited, so let's go over these. Yes, okay, I'm gonna try not to get too excited about the one. I'm gonna try to go through all of them. Anyway, I get, yeah, I'm more excited about some products than others just because, you know, like I love playing and testing them. But up at the top we have our shock. These are actually just more color options for the shock headset. So, no, nothing has really changed. We have improved upon, I would say, the quality. You know, we've got some feedback on what people wanted more of, the cups, you know, the the material, stuff like that. So, so we had a little a little bit change, you know, but the features are all the same. That's very cool. People like customizing all their peripherals to go with the color of their system. You know what it is? It's, most people have like the standard red, blue, and black, and white. But a lot of teams now, like pro gamers, have a lot of different colors, like especially Gamma Bears. We just picked them up, like, you know, the yellows and orange. More vibrant. Yeah, so we're trying to make sure that we cover as many colors as possible. And then if there's a color that people really like, you know, we might have it come out. Like rainbow or something. Rainbow, that would be interesting. Yeah, so this is our Bahamut. Our Bahamut is our new and first and only external sound card. We really want to get into this field. Yeah. We think that there's not really a lot out there offered. I mean, there are some great ones out there, but it can't hurt to have more choices. Oh yeah, definitely not. Yeah, so our Bahamut is actually going to be available probably by the end of this month. It's by USB and the MSRP is $49.99. Cool, very cool. So you can plug whatever you want here. That takes a mic input as well? Yep. Very cool. Here you go. Like, you know, like... Again, show the input. Oh, and then here. Show me that input. Very nice. I like the inscription right around the outside. TTE Sports Gaming. Very cool. TTE Sports. I don't know what accent that is. Okay, so, Isurias stuff. Just really quickly because this is, you know, pretty much the same as our other Isurias. We did change the cable so that it's a flat cable. Very nice. I love flat cables. Yes, I know, because I hate when they tangle. Oh my goodness. So the reason why we're still pushing towards earbuds, or we really want to push towards it, is because... And we've been talking a lot about StarCraft II, so it seems like you're familiar with that very well. Myself and Deezer actually. I didn't notice this until someone else in the company told me this. I was like, I like headphones. But they were like, you know what, a lot of StarCraft II players have in earbuds. Have you noticed? They wear noise-canceling on top. Yeah, and I was like, wait a second. They do! So I was like, oh yeah, and he's like, yeah, we're going to try to offer more of that to gamers who kind of want an alternative to headphones, you know, because a lot of gamers actually do want that, so we're pushing towards that. So we still have that. We're going to be trying to offer more of those. And then last, not last actually, I don't want to say that for last, but you know what, let's do this. The Kronos headset is the one that I'm most excited for. It's a new headset. And the Kronos headset right now comes in white and black with the red accent. The GT Sports red accent. That looks awesome. Yeah, I love the unity on the side. I really like it. I don't know, I'm crazy, but I don't really like it. So these ones are a lot, I would say they're fashionable. Yeah, and those ones glow as well. You can see the clear panel. So when they're plugged in, they glow. And these ones, the cable comes out. It comes out of leho. Leho. Do they glow the exact same red as these ones? Yeah, yeah, they're both red. These ones are, we wanted to make them kind of fashionable, easy to carry with you. You know, they collapse, you can wear them on your shoulders like this. So yeah, it's like le fashion of gamer. I don't know, I keep saying le. Throw them on. We'll see how they fit. Ow! Le fashion of gamer. And then like this. You're like, I glow, I glow. I can rave with these. If you have something to plug it into. So these also, they're mobile ready, which means you can actually, we have a cable for it. You can plug it into your phone and you can talk in the mic for your phone and listen to music. So instead of a Bluetooth, you can do the complete opposite and be like, yo, I'm cool, I'm a pilot. I'm driving my car. So it's got a 4.35 plug? Yes. Shock One Console. Shock One Console was recently announced and it's our Shock One headset, except it's multi-platform, you can play it on the Xbox 360, if I need to say the whole thing. Xbox 360 and the PS3 and the PC. So for people who really like the Shock One, but they also play console and they're like, well, I want to use it for all. This is a good upgrade for it. You can play it on all. And it's priced at 99.99 MSRP. So you can take it to every single platform you want to play on. Yeah. Very, very cool. Alright guys, thanks for checking out our Thermaltake coverage. If you want to see all of our CES content, subscribe to Linus Tech Tips. Back again guys, I cut her off before she was done and we totally forgot to cover these awesome looking mice that were designed in collaboration with BMW Design Group. So I'm going to get her to tell us about these. Really? Just kidding. She had to do it like a wonka. Yeah, these are in collaboration with BMW Design Works. So they designed a mouse with us together that, you know, combines the sleekness of a car and the awesome gaming qualities of a mouse. We actually released this a little while ago, but we just launched a couple of new colors. We have the new yellow, the Hello Kitty pink. That's for someone. And then we have our Battle Edition green. We did announce our red a little while ago, but it hasn't been available. So now, you know, we're displaying it. Would you like me to tell you a little bit about the mouse? Yeah, let's start with this awesome looking thing here on the side. Yes, so that really actually is designed to kind of be like the overdrive or the steering of a car. So it really goes like in all directions and you can hit down on it. And what it does is it changes the profiles and it actually raises and lowers the DPI. But you can change it to do other stuff, but you know, that's what it's originally for. It's got two additional buttons up here on the side and then two on the right side. So that's actually pretty cool because depending on what game you're playing, you might want different DPI levels. Say you're playing Battlefield and you want to drive a tank instead of just run around. You want different DPI levels for that. It actually goes up to 8200. Wow, there's a software that can help you bring it up to that. So what this mouse does in terms of customization is... Okay, so someone said it was something like it was like a steering more like the car going back and forth. So I was relating it to the seat, you know, when you can move the seat up and down. So it actually comes with a screw and you can move, you can change the degree of this back part right here. Up or down depending on which way you tilt. Your hand tilts on top of the mouse and it actually shifts left to right. So this can actually be an ambidextrous mouse. So left-handed gamers can use this. You can shift it to the other side and then you can use, since it's kind of like the shape is kind of symmetrical, you can use the other direction. The only difference is that the buttons will be kind of different. But you know, you can, that's the one thing, actually you know it works this way. The gamer will just have to get used to the preference of which buttons on what side. That's really cool because a lot of ambidextrous mice are just too straightforward on the back. And this one you can actually make it tilt probably. It tilts like degrees either to the left or the right direction. So that's using that job right there. And as you can see it's a full aluminum base so it's pretty sturdy. That's very cool. I personally like really heavy mice and through talking I figured out that you and Diesel also like really heavy mice. So full aluminum base is a really, really cool thing to have. And it's definitely for people who like long term and long term gaming. We actually have these kind of bumpers to help it glide too. But you know for people who have a habit, actually kind of have a habit of when, it's more when I play FPS games. I pick up, like when I'm trying to turn around I kind of pick up the mouse and I hit it back down. But I have a mouse pad so at least it's softer. But you know I definitely, the bottom of my mouse definitely takes some toll. It's not just the top when I'm like clicking fiercely but the bottom because you're rubbing it against the surface. That's probably the part that you want it to be the most durable. So having a full aluminum bottom is actually really, really good for durability. We're playing with this one the most. We're being so biased. It's not even the closest one but it's... We'll pick up Diesel's favorite mouse here. So these LEDs right here will show you different DPI levels. Very, very cool. And the MSRP is $99.99. Sorry? MSRP is $99.99. I'm trying to figure out what Diesel's telling me. I think he's talking about the stream relief right here. So do you want to tell me about this? I was going to say it's just because it's cool to represent DT Sport. You know, you can cable coil in here but honestly it's just part of the design to have the logo up here. As far as I know there's not anything too special. It doesn't shoot lasers or anything. But if you wanted to, we'll look into production for laser shooting at the top. Laser shooting. But another thing I have to be sure is if you look inside, it's kind of hollow. So it's really great for airflow as you can see. It has the honeycomb kind of holes at the top. So airflow is really important about this. It's got holes in all directions. So this one's got a serious sweaty hand problem. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's definitely good for long term use and ventilation. Very, very cool. Okay. That's about it. Yes, thank you so much for checking us out at TT Sports, the TT Sport stuff. Sorry that I sound kind of crazy, you know.
