out Dave Taylor here checking out this
0:13
this is the Cherry extra H3 wireless
0:17
gaming headset and it is shiny and new
0:20
and it's really nice features 53 mm
0:24
drivers and it's optimized for Esports
0:27
so it's really a gaming headset you can
0:29
listen music you can use it on a zoom
0:31
call as I did earlier I'll tell you
0:33
about that but it's really designed for
0:36
sports and gaming it is multiplatform so
0:39
it includes a wireless dongle if that's
0:42
how you like to do it and you can also
0:44
use it with Bluetooth and it's Bluetooth
0:47
5.1 and I actually paired it with my
0:50
phone so I could play some games on my
0:52
phone getting the best possible sound
0:55
but of course it has a boom mic so it
0:58
also gives you the ability to talk and
1:00
be picked up really cleanly and because
1:03
that microphone ends up in front of your
1:05
mouth it's way better audio than having
1:08
the microphones way back on your ears
1:11
I'll give you a demo that in just a
1:12
minute but I want to tell you these are
1:14
closed over ear with memory phone these
1:17
are protein Leather Ear pads and it is
1:21
adjustable I end up just always pulling
1:23
it out all the way and then just push it
1:25
in just a little bit as needed and
1:29
there's not not much indication of left
1:31
versus right but you can just remember
1:33
that all the buttons are on the left
1:35
hand side and in fact let's have a
1:37
closeup so you can see the buttons here
1:40
there is USBC for charging and then
1:42
there's an EQ button it has three EQ
1:45
modes the Bluetooth it has the wireless
1:49
dongle and it also has the ability for
1:52
you to push that button and mute the
1:53
microphone so there's no mute button on
1:56
the boom mic itself it's actually just
1:58
on the headset on the right hand side
2:01
there's nothing one of the things I like
2:03
about it is that it's very subtle unlike
2:05
a lot of gaming headsets that are like
2:07
flashing lights and all sorts of stuff
2:09
and they have their place they're really
2:11
fun but something like this you could
2:13
use in a work setting and people would
2:16
never really know especially if you
2:19
popped off the boom mic cuz you didn't
2:20
need it now they just look like some
2:23
nice executive headset but they're tuned
2:25
for Esports really nice so when you go
2:29
into game mode you get rid of basically
2:31
all latency and that's what I was doing
2:34
also for video and the sound is terrific
2:37
we'll get back to that but there's no
2:39
latency issues battery life is
2:42
ridiculous it's 100 hours of battery
2:44
life on a charge this is compatible with
2:47
PC and mac and PS4 PS5 and switches and
2:52
you know if you want to use mobile
2:54
devices like a phone or a tablet it's
2:56
going to work just fine with those now
2:59
let me go ahead and put the headset back
3:01
in let's see there we go and put these
3:05
on and they're already paired with my
3:08
phone so let me give you a quick demo of
3:13
the audio
3:15
so what you're hearing now is my voice
3:19
as picked up by the Cherry
3:29
it's really tuned for voice as opposed
3:32
to my standard mic which has a much
3:35
broader um pickup capability so that's
3:38
the big difference but in terms of being
3:40
on a phone call or I was on a zoom call
3:43
earlier today and I they were just like
3:46
wow you sound really good because I
3:48
asked them I said how do you sound so
3:50
really nice microphone let me switch
3:52
things
3:55
around and of course the most important
3:57
thing here is how do they sound in terms
4:00
of Music reproduction and I'll tell you
4:02
they have a really nice sound it's just
4:04
a nice big Lush sound and there's
4:09
definitely a spatial sense to it they're
4:11
not doing any signal processing so you
4:12
don't get like an echo you really don't
4:15
want that when you're gaming of course
4:17
unless the game adds that in any case
4:20
you always want the best and crispest
4:22
and best musical reproduction and they
4:25
do a really nice job now the only
4:28
comment I will make I really like these
4:31
but they were a little tight on my head
4:34
that's generally something that eases
4:36
over time but I did find they were a
4:39
little clampy so after my hour phone
4:41
call uh the number of hourong video
4:44
calls I've taken in the last few years a
4:47
whole another video but after that I did
4:49
feel like I had to take them off to just
4:51
let my like brain squish out a little
4:54
bit just to relax after being having
4:56
these headphones on and again over time
4:59
I think you would find that that's less
5:01
and less of an issue so in the Box you
5:04
get the headphones the headset the
5:07
wireless dongle you get a charging cable
5:10
or usage cable usba USBC it's a nice
5:14
long 2 m cable you get a sticker hey
5:18
Cherry nice you get a little mesh bag
5:21
you can put all of these accessories in
5:24
so you can travel with them and that's
5:26
what's in the box in the Box other than
5:29
the instructions for the H3 Wireless and
5:33
these are brand new so I will tell you
5:37
they are a really solid option for
5:40
gamers but you don't have to be a gamer
5:43
you could also just use these if you're
5:44
just on phone calls a lot or just a heck
5:46
with the microphone at all just pop off
5:49
that microphone put it in your little
5:50
mesh bag and just use these as
5:53
headphones in Bluetooth or with a dongle
5:56
or something and you're going to really
5:58
enjoy the musical reproduction they're
6:01
notc but they have a nice sort of ere
6:04
ear clamp probably clamp is the wrong
6:07
word that sounds a little stronger than
6:09
it is but they're closed over ear and
6:12
they really do a nice job of isolating
6:14
you and then you put on some good music
6:16
or something else maybe the uh audio
6:20
track to a movie you're watching or
6:21
something and you will find these are
6:23
very enjoyable really really nice so
6:27
