00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:18,320
So, why is Lionus wearing a pair of headphones right now? How is this an

4
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:21,520
unboxing of a of a headset? Because these are clearly headphones. These are

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:26,240
old headphones. These are not even like new and interesting headphones. Because

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:32,160
I have something really cool to show you guys. This is the Oh, he says, "Good

7
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:34,880
luck, Lionus." Thanks, Jimmy. That's always a good sign when the manufacturer

8
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:41,520
says, "Good luck." No, I'm just kidding. I'm sure it's all good. Um, so this is

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:43,520
the Ant Leon Ant Lion Mod Mic.

10
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:47,039
www.mmodmike.com. Designed and assembled in Portland,

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,640
Oregon, which is actually pretty much uh neighbors from here. The instructions

12
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:55,360
are actually right on the outside of the tube. So, the packaging is pretty simple. It's a toilet paper roll that

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:00,320
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

14
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:03,280
just I'm just teasing Jimmy here. Okay, we're going to get serious now. Find a

15
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,280
flat spot on the headphones to place the adhesive circle. The pad will stick to

16
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:10,479
smooth and mesh surfaces just like this one that you see right here. Okay, put

17
00:01:09,119 --> 00:01:15,040
your headphones on. Make sure the Mod Mic will reach from the point of attachment to within 3 in behind the

18
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:19,439
corner of your mouth. Clean the surface with the provided alcohol swab. Let dry

19
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:23,280
and stick it. And then angle and location 30 seconds adhesive, whatever.

20
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:28,720
Okay, let's open this bad boy up. So this is the way to solve the problem

21
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:35,280
that I personally have had and that I think many people have had where by and

22
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:37,920
large the head the the the headphones

23
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:42,640
included on gaming headsets are not necessarily the best thing out there in

24
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:49,680
terms of a high audio quality gaming experience. Now, I switched from my um

25
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:55,520
from my HD555s that you see here to my Steel Series 7H's quite a while ago when

26
00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:59,680
I basically just was like, "Okay, well, I'm tired of hanging a microphone around

27
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:03,680
my neck. I will accept that the 7H's might not be quite up to the same

28
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:08,879
standard as 555s uh for the convenience of having an integrated mic. Now, with

29
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:15,200
this guy right here, I no longer have to compromise. So, here we go. We've got

30
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:18,560
alcohol swabs, which you use to apply the mod mic. Apparently, there's uh

31
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,959
apparently you're going to have to like bend this thing pretty good. Put your headphones on. Bend the boom until the

32
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:28,239
mic sits behind the corner of your mouth. So, they do want you to bend it.

33
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,520
There's uh not much in terms of

34
00:02:28,239 --> 00:02:35,200
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

35
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:41,120
what I was expecting there. All right. You've got Here we go. included magnetic

36
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:44,319
pieces here. So, you've got uh you can actually hook it up to two different

37
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,760
headphones. So, these have magnets and adhesive strips on the back. So, maybe

38
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:53,440
what we'll do is we'll actually go through the whole process here. I'll just mount the thing to my HD555s and

39
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:57,120
we'll call that an unboxing. So, consider this a mod mic installation

40
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:01,840
guide. Which side does the microphone usually go in? This side, right, left side. Yeah. Okay. So, here we go. So,

41
00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:04,879
we're going to take our mesh spot here. We're going to use our alcohol swab.

42
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:10,959
This is really important because otherwise the adhesive stands a really good chance of not adhering correctly if

43
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,800
there's any kind of grease residue. Adhesives do not like that. So, we're

44
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,560
going to go ahead and do that. Then, we're going to take one of these two

45
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:22,480
spots. So, you can see the uh the magnetic piece clips onto there really

46
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:28,319
nice. So, we're going to take one of these two and we're going to mount it

47
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:32,640
kind of I mean, normally we'd try this before we actually go ahead and stick it

48
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:37,200
to it, but whatever. So, we're going to go with You know what? I'm going to at

49
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,879
least try to do this properly. Okay. So,

50
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,760
we're going to go with right about I'm going to test that spot. Make sure it

51
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,280
doesn't look stupid. Yep. So, we're going to go with that spot right there.

52
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:50,159
Press on it for a little bit here. In fact, they probably have instructions for how long they want you to press on

53
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:53,760
it. Uh, press it on for 30 seconds. So, we, you know, we'll finish pressing it

54
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:59,040
on after. Okay. Then, the next thing you do is you take the Mod Mic, which has,

55
00:03:56,159 --> 00:04:02,319
see a little cable managed wire here. So, you can Okay, you know what? I'll

56
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:07,519
show you that part later. So then you take the mod mic and you put it into

57
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:13,840
this piece right here. So this unscrews. There we go. And then can go in either

58
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,360
this way or

59
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:19,440
Oh yeah, that goes in pretty tight right there. Okay. So it goes in just like

60
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,440
that. Sits in there pretty good. Then you

61
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:30,479
screw this on. Okay. That holds it into place. And

62
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,479
voila. Hopefully this works because like I said, I haven't tested it at all. So,

63
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:38,160
you just make it so that this sits right by the corner of your mouth here. You

64
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:41,600
can adjust that the way that you want. And oh, I don't think I got the angle

65
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:45,680
quite right, but we can compensate for that. And there you go. So, it has a

66
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:50,000
little What' I do? Oh, it's magnets, right? So,

67
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,440
it's basically magic. Uh, so there we go. So, then what you do is you take the

68
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:57,680
little included cable organizer doodad here. You clip that to your existing

69
00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:00,960
headphone cable. If I had to criticize something about the product so far, I'd

70
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:04,080
say that it's a little bit small, the clip for the other cable, but what I'll

71
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:10,639
what I would probably end up doing is attaching them in a more permanent fashion, even using a piece of braided

72
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:14,639
sle and covering the entirety of both of the wires together so that it's uh

73
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:18,000
pretty much one cord. Because the mod mic is interesting from a, you know, oh,

74
00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:22,720
I can detach it from my headphones perspective, but as a gamer, I think

75
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:27,199
most people are going to be using it as more like a way to attach a high quality

76
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:31,600
mic to a pair of headphones pretty much semi-permanently. So, the way that these

77
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:35,360
connect is actually by a screw-in connector. So, I have pretty good

78
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:40,400
confidence in the ruggedness of that connection right there. And I think

79
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:44,080
that's pretty much it. So, I'm really excited to actually try this out, guys.

80
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:48,479
I wish I had taken a little bit more time to get the angle right because the

81
00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:55,280
angle that it comes out here is dependent on the way that these Oh,

82
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:57,120
that's smart. Look at that.

83
00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:01,039
Oh, so you can either detach it completely or you can actually put it up

84
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:04,880
like that just by using magnets. See, magnets are basically magic. It's

85
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,160
amazing. Now I'm like I've lost completely lost

86
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:14,000
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

87
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,400
little bit of trouble doing that. Once you get it in place, I don't think it's

88
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:22,240
going to move because it's actually quite stiff. So, thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the

89
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,560
Antlian Mod Mic. Don't forget to subscribe to Lance Tech for more

90
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:30,639
unboxings, reviews, and other computer videos. And I'm really glad they include two because my original perception that

91
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:36,479
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

92
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:41,039
can have a a doover on the uh the setup

93
00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:41,039
process there. Thanks, guys.
