00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:06.720
okay so today i'm unboxing a couple of zowie gear products as you can see i'm

00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:11.759
in the cameraman's office so i am finally back at work after my boat with

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:16.320
the swine flu um honestly i know nothing about zowie as a company except that

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:20.320
they make gaming peripherals we don't actually carry them yet however i'm

00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:23.680
going to have a look at these evaluation products and check out what i think of

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:29.760
them so this headset is called the hammer it should fall around like a

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:30.480
69.99 79.99 sort of price range it has

00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:35.280
uh some guy on it who says it's really good

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:39.120
and then it has another guy who also says it's really good okay so it's

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:44.879
designed for esports so that means it's designed for sports that you do not

00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:47.440
leave your armchair in order to do

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:51.440
the very best kinds of sports obviously okay so we'll start with the headset and

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:54.000
they also have a mouse pad which is the g

00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:59.199
tf or two face okay so headset here the build quality

00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:03.680
actually there's nothing particularly exceptional

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:06.640
about it but it feels like it's going to be pretty comfortable when i go ahead

00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:10.400
and put this on my head so i'm just going to figure out which way okay so

00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:15.040
the ARM here is a little bit stiff for the huge huge microphone which looks

00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:19.520
like it should be pretty good it's like an enormous microphone in there i

00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:23.280
don't know why you would need that but either way that's pretty cool so this is

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:27.520
the left ear so i should probably be putting the uh this turns all the way

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:31.600
around okay so i should probably put that over there so i'm gonna check out

00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:35.439
the uh comfort level here how do i look

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:39.759
cameraman is making kind of like a weird face at me this isn't actually flexible

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:43.920
which is something i don't really like so you can't adjust how far the mic sits

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:49.040
away from your head however they're incredibly light which i guess is one

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:52.880
huge advantage of such a such a slim design and another thing that i've

00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:57.920
noticed about them as i had them on is that they are using a closed design

00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.960
so that means that sound is going to be a little bit more tinny

00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:07.360
you're going to get a little bit less bass but the advantage is going to be that

00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:11.280
directionality is much better other people can't hear what you're

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:14.959
listening to and you can't hear any outside noises like i can hardly hear

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:20.640
myself talk when i have these on much like the sennheiser pc350s

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:24.160
okay so it also comes with uh what do we

00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:26.480
got here oh okay we've got an on

00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:31.200
on the on the cable we have a switch for the mic as well as a volume control this

00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:34.560
feels pretty cheap and cheesy but uh i don't think the clip is going anywhere

00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:38.959
anytime soon so it should be durable enough from that perspective then we

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:42.800
have let's see pretty short cable but it looks like

00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:47.519
this little accessory package here comes with an extension cable so that you can

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:51.120
either plug into the back of a keyboard on your desk or you can reach around all

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:58.480
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

00:02:54.959 --> 00:03:00.560
couple of foam ear pads

00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:04.319
so you can actually replace the pleathery ones that come with it and it

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:12.239
looks like oh this is actually really easy to do with foam ones should you prefer that

00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:14.080
feel on your ears of velour or whatever

00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:17.599
you want to call this material okay let's move on to the mouse pad i'm just

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.040
going to cough once here sorry about that

00:03:18.959 --> 00:03:26.640
okay i'm not still not feeling 100 quite yet okay so this is the g tfs or the two

00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:31.200
face it is a spawn okay whatever that means it has this

00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:35.519
badass looking guy on it all right and it says okay what is unique about

00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:40.400
this mouse pad is that it is a hundred percent cloth but it is as fast as

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:46.640
plastic because it actually uses a plastic coating over top so that's kind

00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:49.760
of like the steel series 5l which is a

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:52.319
cloth pad with a plastic layer on top

00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:58.879
except that this is not a hard pad this is actually still a rollable

00:03:54.799 --> 00:04:03.120
sort of actual cloth pad whereas the 5l

00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:04.799
sips on like a plastic back substrate

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.480
sort of thing so this is a quite a large mouse pad as you can

00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:13.920
see here with it in front of me so i've got the cameraman's like ghetto mouse

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:15.920
here which totally sucks but in terms of

00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:20.799
in terms of glide actually i can't really see it being any faster than the

00:04:17.919 --> 00:04:24.720
qck that i'm using at home but i do like the rough textured feel quite a lot if

00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:29.120
you can i don't know how the cameraman is going to sort of capture that but

00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:34.240
have a look and i also really like how thick it is this is quite a thick mouse

00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:35.600
pad and it has nice nice woven edges

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:39.440
which is something that i've noticed about my qck is the edges are getting

00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:44.800
quite frayed and i can see that this would cause that to not happen the back

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:48.320
is a rubberized very grippy i'm just obviously you'd never use a mouse on the

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:52.160
back of a mouse pad never do that it's stupid but i'm putting a mouse on the

00:04:50.479 --> 00:04:56.320
back of it so that i can demonstrate it's quite grippy when you put it down

00:04:54.080 --> 00:05:00.160
on the desk and it's not going to move if even if you lift your mouse and kind

00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:05.600
of do that sort of thing anyway thank you for checking out my unboxing of the

00:05:02.479 --> 00:05:08.919
zowie gear hammer and two face

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.919
mouse pad
