Talking to a friend, who I’ve been talking to since Wuffer decided to seek out someone more gay, and he actually likes me, and we.. well.. (TMI moment last night).
\nAnyway, I got the new headphones while I was talking to him. Pretty alright
\npackaging (and some tape to remove). Finally got access to the headset and I
\nthought “simplified much?” All I saw was the headset, but taking it out, I saw the USB charging cable and also what appears to be a strange USB Flash Drive-like device? Wasn’t sure why I even needed it at the time.
\nThe charging cable, I’m extremely glad I didn’t buy that one from Amazon (as it would had never worked). But, it is long enough that I can type without any tugging on the cable. As for it fitting around my ears, I feel very minimal discomfort, but not enough for me to feel I have to take it off as it’s hurting my ears (or anything like that). It’s nice!
\n–
\nStill trying to figure out what the heck this Flash Drive-like thing was. Thinking it was some kind of battery, I put it in the charger that my iPhone uses and saw it blink. This to me made me assume it was<\/em> a battery, so I left it alone. Checked the manual, and saw it actually could fit into the charger cable, but it’s for some sort of ‘SE’ version of the
\nheadset (as there is no visible port on the charger cable).
\n…And now for the why I almost sent it back<\/em><\/span> part, I managed to turn the headphones on and attempted to pair it with my Bluetooth adapter.. nothing.
\nUhh.. is it simply not charged fully? This puzzled me for good while, and then it hit
\nme.. the white light on the device. FUCK!! It’s a Bluetooth dongle! DAMNIT!!! When I asked Wuffer if it’ll work with Bluetooth, he didn’t understand that I meant my existing<\/strong> Bluetooth (the one I use for my WMR controllers)!
\nJust to make sure I was right, I took out the small Bluetooth adapter and added the bigger one in. Soon as I did, the headset was connected (and the white light stayed
\non).\u00a0 Unplugging it, it no longer shows the headset connected.
\n*frustrated sigh* I have no<\/strong><\/span> fucking spots for this thing! On top of that, I’m trying to help Dander Icebreaker of getting the eye tracking shader to work.<\/p>\n

Bit later, it’s getting to the point where I’m getting frustrated with Dander not knowing where his Assets folder is to install the shader properly (and feel I need to explain to him via voice chat). So I decide to take a look behind my case, and actually see a spot for it. Plug it in and it works. Ayy! Cool, I no longer feel I need to send it back (and that Wuffer ‘lied’ to me.. even though he was only misinformed).
\nTried out the mute button on the side; now it does<\/em> mute the mic, but not in the way I was expecting. There’s an audio cue of two beeps. Also, lifting up the mic arm auto-mutes the mic, which is fucking cool! Though I would assume not to abuse it if I want this headset to stay in the same condition for years.
\nDid manage to help Dander by the way, via Parsec (and placing the eyes for him). He’s quite happy of the results.<\/p>\n

.
\nOverall, I really enjoy the headset. Of course I said the same thing about the on-ear headphones I had, and they started getting extremely uncomfortable within the next day. But this<\/em> one is high quality. It’s got fucking RGB (the first thing I ever had with RGB)!
\nThe true test is a session of VRChat (in VR). But, that might not come as things are really escalating IRL (with my father).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
