So, why is Lionus wearing a pair of headphones right now? How is this an
unboxing of a of a headset? Because these are clearly headphones. These are
old headphones. These are not even like new and interesting headphones. Because
I have something really cool to show you guys. This is the Oh, he says, "Good
luck, Lionus." Thanks, Jimmy. That's always a good sign when the manufacturer
says, "Good luck." No, I'm just kidding. I'm sure it's all good. Um, so this is
the Ant Leon Ant Lion Mod Mic.
www.mmodmike.com. Designed and assembled in Portland,
Oregon, which is actually pretty much uh neighbors from here. The instructions
are actually right on the outside of the tube. So, the packaging is pretty simple. It's a toilet paper roll that
has both of the ends bent. It's not quite a toilet paper roll. It's a little bit more rugged than that. Okay, I'm I'm
just I'm just teasing Jimmy here. Okay, we're going to get serious now. Find a
flat spot on the headphones to place the adhesive circle. The pad will stick to
smooth and mesh surfaces just like this one that you see right here. Okay, put
your headphones on. Make sure the Mod Mic will reach from the point of attachment to within 3 in behind the
corner of your mouth. Clean the surface with the provided alcohol swab. Let dry
and stick it. And then angle and location 30 seconds adhesive, whatever.
Okay, let's open this bad boy up. So this is the way to solve the problem
that I personally have had and that I think many people have had where by and
large the head the the the headphones
included on gaming headsets are not necessarily the best thing out there in
terms of a high audio quality gaming experience. Now, I switched from my um
from my HD555s that you see here to my Steel Series 7H's quite a while ago when
I basically just was like, "Okay, well, I'm tired of hanging a microphone around
my neck. I will accept that the 7H's might not be quite up to the same
standard as 555s uh for the convenience of having an integrated mic. Now, with
this guy right here, I no longer have to compromise. So, here we go. We've got
alcohol swabs, which you use to apply the mod mic. Apparently, there's uh
apparently you're going to have to like bend this thing pretty good. Put your headphones on. Bend the boom until the
mic sits behind the corner of your mouth. So, they do want you to bend it.
There's uh not much in terms of
Oh, okay. There you go. That's pretty flexible. Okay, that's not bad. That's uh that's not not actually what I was
what I was expecting there. All right. You've got Here we go. included magnetic
pieces here. So, you've got uh you can actually hook it up to two different
headphones. So, these have magnets and adhesive strips on the back. So, maybe
what we'll do is we'll actually go through the whole process here. I'll just mount the thing to my HD555s and
we'll call that an unboxing. So, consider this a mod mic installation
guide. Which side does the microphone usually go in? This side, right, left side. Yeah. Okay. So, here we go. So,
we're going to take our mesh spot here. We're going to use our alcohol swab.
This is really important because otherwise the adhesive stands a really good chance of not adhering correctly if
there's any kind of grease residue. Adhesives do not like that. So, we're
going to go ahead and do that. Then, we're going to take one of these two
spots. So, you can see the uh the magnetic piece clips onto there really
nice. So, we're going to take one of these two and we're going to mount it
kind of I mean, normally we'd try this before we actually go ahead and stick it
to it, but whatever. So, we're going to go with You know what? I'm going to at
least try to do this properly. Okay. So,
we're going to go with right about I'm going to test that spot. Make sure it
doesn't look stupid. Yep. So, we're going to go with that spot right there.
Press on it for a little bit here. In fact, they probably have instructions for how long they want you to press on
it. Uh, press it on for 30 seconds. So, we, you know, we'll finish pressing it
on after. Okay. Then, the next thing you do is you take the Mod Mic, which has,
see a little cable managed wire here. So, you can Okay, you know what? I'll
show you that part later. So then you take the mod mic and you put it into
this piece right here. So this unscrews. There we go. And then can go in either
this way or
Oh yeah, that goes in pretty tight right there. Okay. So it goes in just like
that. Sits in there pretty good. Then you
screw this on. Okay. That holds it into place. And
voila. Hopefully this works because like I said, I haven't tested it at all. So,
you just make it so that this sits right by the corner of your mouth here. You
can adjust that the way that you want. And oh, I don't think I got the angle
quite right, but we can compensate for that. And there you go. So, it has a
little What' I do? Oh, it's magnets, right? So,
it's basically magic. Uh, so there we go. So, then what you do is you take the
little included cable organizer doodad here. You clip that to your existing
headphone cable. If I had to criticize something about the product so far, I'd
say that it's a little bit small, the clip for the other cable, but what I'll
what I would probably end up doing is attaching them in a more permanent fashion, even using a piece of braided
sle and covering the entirety of both of the wires together so that it's uh
pretty much one cord. Because the mod mic is interesting from a, you know, oh,
I can detach it from my headphones perspective, but as a gamer, I think
most people are going to be using it as more like a way to attach a high quality
mic to a pair of headphones pretty much semi-permanently. So, the way that these
connect is actually by a screw-in connector. So, I have pretty good
confidence in the ruggedness of that connection right there. And I think
that's pretty much it. So, I'm really excited to actually try this out, guys.
I wish I had taken a little bit more time to get the angle right because the
angle that it comes out here is dependent on the way that these Oh,
that's smart. Look at that.
Oh, so you can either detach it completely or you can actually put it up
like that just by using magnets. See, magnets are basically magic. It's
amazing. Now I'm like I've lost completely lost
my train of thought. I just want to get this I want to get this about right before we wrap up here. And I'm having a
little bit of trouble doing that. Once you get it in place, I don't think it's
going to move because it's actually quite stiff. So, thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the
Antlian Mod Mic. Don't forget to subscribe to Lance Tech for more
unboxings, reviews, and other computer videos. And I'm really glad they include two because my original perception that
it's so that you can have two different headphones you can use it with might have been wrong. Maybe it's so that you
can have a a doover on the uh the setup
process there. Thanks, guys.
