okay so today i'm unboxing a couple of zowie gear products as you can see i'm
in the cameraman's office so i am finally back at work after my boat with
the swine flu um honestly i know nothing about zowie as a company except that
they make gaming peripherals we don't actually carry them yet however i'm
going to have a look at these evaluation products and check out what i think of
them so this headset is called the hammer it should fall around like a
69.99 79.99 sort of price range it has
uh some guy on it who says it's really good
and then it has another guy who also says it's really good okay so it's
designed for esports so that means it's designed for sports that you do not
leave your armchair in order to do
the very best kinds of sports obviously okay so we'll start with the headset and
they also have a mouse pad which is the g
tf or two face okay so headset here the build quality
actually there's nothing particularly exceptional
about it but it feels like it's going to be pretty comfortable when i go ahead
and put this on my head so i'm just going to figure out which way okay so
the ARM here is a little bit stiff for the huge huge microphone which looks
like it should be pretty good it's like an enormous microphone in there i
don't know why you would need that but either way that's pretty cool so this is
the left ear so i should probably be putting the uh this turns all the way
around okay so i should probably put that over there so i'm gonna check out
the uh comfort level here how do i look
cameraman is making kind of like a weird face at me this isn't actually flexible
which is something i don't really like so you can't adjust how far the mic sits
away from your head however they're incredibly light which i guess is one
huge advantage of such a such a slim design and another thing that i've
noticed about them as i had them on is that they are using a closed design
so that means that sound is going to be a little bit more tinny
you're going to get a little bit less bass but the advantage is going to be that
directionality is much better other people can't hear what you're
listening to and you can't hear any outside noises like i can hardly hear
myself talk when i have these on much like the sennheiser pc350s
okay so it also comes with uh what do we
got here oh okay we've got an on
on the on the cable we have a switch for the mic as well as a volume control this
feels pretty cheap and cheesy but uh i don't think the clip is going anywhere
anytime soon so it should be durable enough from that perspective then we
have let's see pretty short cable but it looks like
this little accessory package here comes with an extension cable so that you can
either plug into the back of a keyboard on your desk or you can reach around all
the way and reach around or you can reach around all the way to the back of the case okay it also comes with a
couple of foam ear pads
so you can actually replace the pleathery ones that come with it and it
looks like oh this is actually really easy to do with foam ones should you prefer that
feel on your ears of velour or whatever
you want to call this material okay let's move on to the mouse pad i'm just
going to cough once here sorry about that
okay i'm not still not feeling 100 quite yet okay so this is the g tfs or the two
face it is a spawn okay whatever that means it has this
badass looking guy on it all right and it says okay what is unique about
this mouse pad is that it is a hundred percent cloth but it is as fast as
plastic because it actually uses a plastic coating over top so that's kind
of like the steel series 5l which is a
cloth pad with a plastic layer on top
except that this is not a hard pad this is actually still a rollable
sort of actual cloth pad whereas the 5l
sips on like a plastic back substrate
sort of thing so this is a quite a large mouse pad as you can
see here with it in front of me so i've got the cameraman's like ghetto mouse
here which totally sucks but in terms of
in terms of glide actually i can't really see it being any faster than the
qck that i'm using at home but i do like the rough textured feel quite a lot if
you can i don't know how the cameraman is going to sort of capture that but
have a look and i also really like how thick it is this is quite a thick mouse
pad and it has nice nice woven edges
which is something that i've noticed about my qck is the edges are getting
quite frayed and i can see that this would cause that to not happen the back
is a rubberized very grippy i'm just obviously you'd never use a mouse on the
back of a mouse pad never do that it's stupid but i'm putting a mouse on the
back of it so that i can demonstrate it's quite grippy when you put it down
on the desk and it's not going to move if even if you lift your mouse and kind
of do that sort of thing anyway thank you for checking out my unboxing of the
zowie gear hammer and two face
mouse pad
