I'm actually quickly becoming a fan of teeken motion because uh you know some
0:12
of their products have been you lowend
0:15
at low price point so you know more value oriented products but one of the
0:19
ones that I had an opportunity to have a look at and that I actually use
0:24
regularly now is the pulse wave and what I like so much about that product sorry
0:28
I'm not going to even talk about this all for now I'll talk about the pulse wave for a bit one of the things I like
0:33
about it is the fact that it allows you with the flip of a switch to either use
0:37
the onboard USB sound card or use the
0:40
analog uh sound input so what that means is when like the speakers I have on my
0:45
desk at work are not um they don't have
0:49
a proper headphone output on the front so what that means is that unless I was
0:54
using a USB headset then I couldn't actually
0:58
have two different audio devices at the same time so that was kind of a pain I
1:02
thought that was stupid cuz my front audio doesn't work on my case so what I
1:06
did was I was able to use the USB in that scenario and then when I want
1:10
better quality audio out of it um and I have a proper sound card then I can just
1:15
not use the USB and I can switch to analog I thought that was cool I don't
1:18
use the vibration functionality of it at all um that particular aspect of that
1:23
headset I think is a bit of a gimmick but what I do use is the just generally
1:29
come able and very good sounding headset
1:33
considering the price point and considering the sort
1:37
of you know less professional audio
1:40
oriented kind of positioning that they had for it they're like yeah it lights
1:44
up and it vibrates and blah blah blah so you would expect it to not sound very
1:48
good but then it did so that's that's what I liked about it so moving on to
1:53
the Intruder uh which is the headset that we have here today what do we got
1:57
here in terms of accessories and whatnot give me give me just a moment here and I
2:02
will tell you guys exactly what we're dealing with so the first thing we find
2:10
is here we are uh which direction does this go this
2:15
is going to go this way so we have a detachable mic which I'm personally a
2:20
big fan of I'm I don't always you know need to when I'm wearing my head
2:25
headphones I don't always need to look like you know a gamer necessarily
2:29
depending where I am so attachable mic is capable of moving sort of in this uh
2:34
range okay so it can sit right by your mouth or it can sit a little bit away from it okay what else we got here we
2:40
have sort of uh a bit of a harder foam
2:43
but a very desirable shape so they've gone with an ear shape which is sort of
2:48
seems like rocket science when you look at most uh most headsets where they have
2:51
round shapes or oval shapes well this looks like an ear which is good because
2:55
it's designed to fit over an ear it's like I said it's not really the softest
2:59
foam I've ever felt um but what they've gone for I guess is more lightweight in
3:04
terms of more padding and cushioning um
3:07
which is what it has on the uh pulse
3:10
wave which is the one that the one that I regularly use um this is kind of neat
3:16
check this out so it actually uses a a headset Jack so you could use this with
3:21
your phone to make phone calls um if you
3:25
if you so desired which is kind of Handy
3:29
in fact it includes two microphones apparently so hold on a second and I
3:33
will figure out where that other microphone went okay guys I figured it
3:37
out so it has a fairly wide variety of
3:41
different attachments and adapters and dongles and doodads and there's
3:45
different ways to use sort of all of them so it has two microphones it has
3:49
the gaming mic which is like your typical uh huge microphone that sits in
3:54
front of your mouth then it has a Mobility
3:58
mic so this one is intended for use if you're like
4:02
making a phone call or something so you're out and about you're just using these as headphones and you've got your
4:06
smartphone or whatever else with you you use this Jack right here which is
4:10
smartphone compatible and you got just a little mic down here so it doesn't sit
4:14
right in front of your mouth while you're sitting on the bus right okay so
4:17
there's those two microphone options then on this side of things you can
4:23
either plug this in for right
4:27
angle okay or you you can plug this
4:33
into here where you get your inline
4:36
volume control as well as your microphone mute okay so that's on the
4:40
controller here and then it goes out to your dedicated headphone and microphone
4:44
jacks and then for whatever reason
4:47
they've also included the ability to adapt it back to one of the three band
4:54
connectors which you can use to plug into a smartphone or whatever else and
4:57
then you can go to right angle
5:01
so they've included all these different adapters giving you a ton of different
5:04
options in terms of cable length so you can have a nice long cord that can reach
5:08
to your your other device or you can have a short one in fact speaking of the
5:13
cord length it's oh I don't know about two Linus ARM bans long which make it
5:17
about 11 ft long so now let's have a closer look at the headset itself so I'm
5:21
going to put the uh the gaming mic on so
5:24
you just you put it on Sideways and then you you rotate it that way it's locked
5:27
in place and uh yeah here let's have a close look so these are these are
5:31
rotatable look at that that's a wider range of rotation than I typically see
5:36
uh so that means that no matter how your ears are oriented on your head you're
5:39
not going to have too much difficulty fitting it on correctly not as much
5:44
padding like I said as I have on the pulse wave but uh like okay it is a
5:49
lightweight headset so I guess that's that's to be expected um let's see it's
5:55
a fairly open design I can hear myself uh very very clearly while I'm talking
5:59
here so I wouldn't expect much of the noise of whatever it is that you're
6:02
listening to to be isolated from the people around you very good overall
6:06
aesthetic this is the kind of thing that you wouldn't have to be other than the word intruder which maybe you could
6:11
maybe you could scratch off you wouldn't have to be too embarrassed to wear something like this out in public
6:15
especially if you don't have the uh the gaming mic on it you just click this to
6:21
you know wherever and then run it down to your pocket to your phone so it's a
6:25
good length for that if you're just going to go like that there you go it's
6:30
about right so I think that pretty much covers it thank you for checking out my
6:34
unboxing and first look at the Intruder
6:38
from teeken motion uh so it's a lightweight sort of they call it a
6:42
gaming headset but you can use it for pretty much anything in fact if I'd even
6:45
looked at the box I would already know this so PC and Mac mobile devices
6:49
removable mic headband 40 wow really 40
6:53
mil speakers huh wow neat so don't forget to sub
6:59
subribe to my less Tech tips channel for unboxings reviews and other computer

7:08

7:12
design
7:15
here there you go and it comes with a
7:18
carrying bag
