Check it out at www.coolermaster-usa.com. 00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:18.320 So, why is Lionus wearing a pair of headphones right now? How is this an 00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:21.520 unboxing of a of a headset? Because these are clearly headphones. These are 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:26.240 old headphones. These are not even like new and interesting headphones. Because 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:32.160 I have something really cool to show you guys. This is the Oh, he says, "Good 00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:34.880 luck, Lionus." Thanks, Jimmy. That's always a good sign when the manufacturer 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 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:43.520 the Ant Leon Ant Lion Mod Mic. 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:47.039 www.mmodmike.com. Designed and assembled in Portland, 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:50.640 Oregon, which is actually pretty much uh neighbors from here. The instructions 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 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 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 00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:07.280 flat spot on the headphones to place the adhesive circle. The pad will stick to 00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:10.479 smooth and mesh surfaces just like this one that you see right here. Okay, put 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 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:19.439 corner of your mouth. Clean the surface with the provided alcohol swab. Let dry 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:23.280 and stick it. And then angle and location 30 seconds adhesive, whatever. 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 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:35.280 that I personally have had and that I think many people have had where by and 00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:37.920 large the head the the the headphones 00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:42.640 included on gaming headsets are not necessarily the best thing out there in 00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:49.680 terms of a high audio quality gaming experience. Now, I switched from my um 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 00:01:53.119 --> 00:01:59.680 I basically just was like, "Okay, well, I'm tired of hanging a microphone around 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 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:08.879 standard as 555s uh for the convenience of having an integrated mic. Now, with 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 00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:18.560 alcohol swabs, which you use to apply the mod mic. Apparently, there's uh 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 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:28.239 mic sits behind the corner of your mouth. So, they do want you to bend it. 00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:29.520 There's uh not much in terms of 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 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:41.120 what I was expecting there. All right. You've got Here we go. included magnetic 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.319 pieces here. So, you've got uh you can actually hook it up to two different 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:47.760 headphones. So, these have magnets and adhesive strips on the back. So, maybe 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 00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:57.120 we'll call that an unboxing. So, consider this a mod mic installation 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, 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. 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 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:14.800 there's any kind of grease residue. Adhesives do not like that. So, we're 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 00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:22.480 spots. So, you can see the uh the magnetic piece clips onto there really 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 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 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 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.879 least try to do this properly. Okay. So, 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 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.280 doesn't look stupid. Yep. So, we're going to go with that spot right there. 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 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 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, 00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:02.319 see a little cable managed wire here. So, you can Okay, you know what? I'll 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 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:13.840 this piece right here. So this unscrews. There we go. And then can go in either 00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:15.360 this way or 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:19.440 Oh yeah, that goes in pretty tight right there. Okay. So it goes in just like 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:23.440 that. Sits in there pretty good. Then you 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:30.479 screw this on. Okay. That holds it into place. And 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:34.479 voila. Hopefully this works because like I said, I haven't tested it at all. So, 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 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 00:04:39.919 --> 00:04:45.680 quite right, but we can compensate for that. And there you go. So, it has a 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:50.000 little What' I do? Oh, it's magnets, right? So, 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 00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:57.680 little included cable organizer doodad here. You clip that to your existing 00:04:55.840 --> 00:05:00.960 headphone cable. If I had to criticize something about the product so far, I'd 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 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 00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:14.639 sle and covering the entirety of both of the wires together so that it's uh 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:18.000 pretty much one cord. Because the mod mic is interesting from a, you know, oh, 00:05:16.479 --> 00:05:22.720 I can detach it from my headphones perspective, but as a gamer, I think 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 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:31.600 mic to a pair of headphones pretty much semi-permanently. So, the way that these 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:35.360 connect is actually by a screw-in connector. So, I have pretty good 00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:40.400 confidence in the ruggedness of that connection right there. And I think 00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:44.080 that's pretty much it. So, I'm really excited to actually try this out, guys. 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 00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:55.280 angle that it comes out here is dependent on the way that these Oh, 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:57.120 that's smart. Look at that. 00:05:55.280 --> 00:06:01.039 Oh, so you can either detach it completely or you can actually put it up 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:04.880 like that just by using magnets. See, magnets are basically magic. It's 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.160 amazing. Now I'm like I've lost completely lost 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 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 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 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:24.560 Antlian Mod Mic. Don't forget to subscribe to Lance Tech for more 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 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 00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:41.039 can have a a doover on the uh the setup 00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:41.039 process there. Thanks, guys.
