this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":195.319,"end_s":203.48,"text":"this is what it looks like awesome works with your PC or Macy okay so let's have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":200.599,"end_s":203.48,"text":"a look at the included","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":207.519,"end_s":214.36,"text":"cables here we go so 3 half","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":211.4,"end_s":219.799,"text":"mil uh USB power 3 and 1 12 mil to RCA

it's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":223.0,"end_s":229.519,"text":"phenomenal okay now let's have a look at the headset itself so you can see it is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":226.72,"end_s":234.36,"text":"quite adjustable as they mentioned so it pivots here and then it also pivots oh","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":232.879,"end_s":238.68,"text":"no it doesn't pivot there oh yeah pivots a little bit here and then mostly here","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":236.92,"end_s":243.519,"text":"so there you go uh the left and the right earphones are are labeled","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":241.079,"end_s":246.879,"text":"definitely significantly more padding on this one than the one I just showed you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":245.28,"end_s":251.319,"text":"it has a microphone right here it's a stubby microphone so uh it doesn't","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":249.879,"end_s":255.519,"text":"extend or anything like that hopefully it picks up your voice okay power is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":253.439,"end_s":260.12,"text":"here let's go ahead and see if it's no probably isn't charged out of the box","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":257.56,"end_s":263.56,"text":"and then we've got DC input here there you go that's where you're","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":261.959,"end_s":268.4,"text":"going to do your charging as well as your ah there","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":266.0,"end_s":272.919,"text":"there's your auxiliary headphone jack cool and then on the other side we've","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":271.24,"end_s":278.68,"text":"got the ID button so we're going to have to look up what that does we've got","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":274.96,"end_s":281.96,"text":"track forward and backwards as well as","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":278.68,"end_s":284.639,"text":"oh look at that buttons on here too so","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":281.96,"end_s":289.16,"text":"play pause volume up volume down and stop so you got pretty much everything","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":286.72,"end_s":292.68,"text":"you could need on that ear cup this band is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":290.12,"end_s":296.199,"text":"adjustable there you go just like that I hope the lighting is okay got this one","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":294.56,"end_s":300.919,"text":"kind of pointed wrong there we go hopefully you guys can see that a little bit better overall build quality is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":299.039,"end_s":304.759,"text":"pretty darn good so we got kind of a soft touch feel going on here on the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":302.84,"end_s":308.039,"text":"outside where these buttons are so it'll be quite comfortable the rest of it is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":306.16,"end_s":312.96,"text":"more of just a hard plastic and then we have a soft touch on the top with quite","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":310.6,"end_s":316.6,"text":"a soft rubber here so I don't know how comfortable they're going to be yet but","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":314.24,"end_s":319.84,"text":"let's give them a shot they're very very lightweight which is also a really good","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":318.479,"end_s":323.4,"text":"thing compared to those other ones I just showed you which were not","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":321.8,"end_s":327.96,"text":"lightweight and the lightweight really helps to keep it from uh weighing down","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":326.319,"end_s":330.759,"text":"pressing down on your head even though the band is quite hard I'd say they","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":329.479,"end_s":334.96,"text":"could have used a little bit of cushioning there uh they sit on my ears","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":333.56,"end_s":338.96,"text":"a lot more comfortably than the other ones I can't feel the plastic through","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":336.56,"end_s":342.08,"text":"them although they're not as comfortable as I'd like but a big part of the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":340.319,"end_s":346.319,"text":"problem could be the fact that I wear large earrings so those earrings get in","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":344.319,"end_s":350.96,"text":"the way a little bit and that's where I can actually feel the pressure points","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":348.319,"end_s":354.039,"text":"not from the ear pads themselves so if you don't have your earrings in then","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":352.28,"end_s":358.36,"text":"it's probably not as much of an issue these are quite convenient to reach uh","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":356.84,"end_s":364.479,"text":"rather these ones there we go I can feel the tactile response of the button buttons and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":362.36,"end_s":369.28,"text":"uh yeah I should I guess I'll have to give these a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":366.52,"end_s":377.759,"text":"try so rumbles helped me spend some time auditioning the Airhead 1000 headset

with","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":387.08,"end_s":393.84,"text":"them I mean my general feedback is fairly simple so number one is I was","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":391.28,"end_s":397.479,"text":"absolutely Blown Away by how much base these things deliver um I guess I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":396.039,"end_s":403.44,"text":"shouldn't have been that surprised given that says right on the box that they have 40 mil drivers in them I was

I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":426.08,"end_s":432.28,"text":"pressed the pairing button on the back of the headset what else is there to really say","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":430.68,"end_s":437.08,"text":"about it yeah they'd be great for movies great for games uh like I said not","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":434.479,"end_s":440.599,"text":"particularly ideal for uh for music although I'm going to turn them on

look so this is uh this is what I claimed was probably the most flexible headset I'd ever encountered in terms of input options um I'm quickly becoming a fan of teeken motion products so teeken Motion makes predominantly headsets and this one right here is called the Airhead 1000 although uh you know we'll have to evaluate it to find out if you'd have to be an airhead to buy one ha um so it's a wireless headset it runs on 2.4 GHz it has an included USB dongle it is adjustable and I certainly hope so as any headset this day should probably be adjustable features media controls on the left ear cup supports Windows Media Player iTunes and Real Player so yes it supports iTunes that means it does support both PC and mac oh look at this aha wow they really stepped up their packaging game as well media controls foldable connection to a yes it is compatible with PC and Macintosh okay what else we got here rechargeable lithium battery so the battery is included for your convenience and I am having a hard time it seems like the more elegantly designed the packages the more difficulty I have opening it because I usually haven't seen that kind before so the battery is included you don't have to worry about changing it or recharging well okay you have to worry about recharging it yes it comes with a you know an unobtainium battery that lasts forever uh so yeah you do have to worry about charging it but it's not like you know Beats by Dr Dre where you you got like these AAA batteries that for whatever reason they run off of although I don't know if the newer SKS do but certainly the original one that I looked at did chat application for VIP experience although you're probably going to want to use whatever other chat application you already use USB powered so you can power them by USB if you don't happen to have the battery charged up and a 3 and half mil line out for your speakers or a second headset now that is cool huh you know what okay hold on a minute guys I'll be back in a sec so this headset is actually the answer to a problem that I have had in the past so when I tried to look for a product that supported dual wireless headsets uh with the same audio input source I ended up with this thing from uh the source and it's a total piece of crap it wasn't that expensive which is fortunate but these are incredibly heavy and Incredibly uncomfortable so you see how the ear cups uh they look kind of soft and they look okay but this is rock hard this is not that much padding and this is not the same size as an ear so the whole thing sits and mushes on your

you might want to you know uh you might live with other people and you want to watch TV late at night or whatever and you want to watch with two people and uh and not disturb anybody so there you go so this could be the solution with that audio output for a second pair of headphones and instead of a huge transmitter that looks like this this is what it looks like awesome works with your PC or Macy okay so let's have a look at the included cables here we go so 3 half mil uh USB power 3 and 1 12 mil to RCA adapter really they do a great job of including all the cables you need and look at this a USB extension cable too it's phenomenal okay now let's have a look at the headset itself so you can see it is quite adjustable as they mentioned so it pivots here and then it also pivots oh no it doesn't pivot there oh yeah pivots a little bit here and then mostly here so there you go uh the left and the right earphones are are labeled definitely significantly more padding on this one than

soon as I pressed the pairing button on the back of the headset what else is there to really say about it yeah they'd be great for movies great for games uh like I said not particularly ideal for uh for music although I'm going to turn them on with music and I guess you guys can come with me and we'll see how far away we can get from the base station before we run out of uh operation little range here so just going to kick this stuff out of my way so it's plugged into the back of my computer here which is about as much interference as it could possibly have near it so we'll bring the cat with us I apologize for the general mess going on in my house right now this is not the only project I have on the go at the moment so let's head uh downstairs still working but we're not that far away actually we're going to head into the kitchen like there's always ah there we go so oh oh it's intermittent now so it's intermittent with several walls actually if you kind of look up at this angle no well yeah up the stairs but if you look like up here you could they I'm pointing there you go that way so you can see there's actually some fairly thick walls and floors in between me and the uh and the transmitter so there you go that's how it works and Rumble say say bye to the viewer check this out this is like this is so typical just like random computer crap like on my table so thank you for
