this video is brought to you by Coolermaster featuring the side and 240 millimeter all-in-one cpu water cooling system check it out at WWE master USA comm so why is Linus wearing a pair of headphones right now how is this an unboxing 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 vo he says good luck Linus thanks Jimmy that's always a good sign when the manufacturer says good luck I'm just kidding I'm sure Tolga um so this is the aunt Leon antlion mod mic wwm odd mic calm designed and assembled in Portland Oregon which is actually pretty much 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 and 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 three inches 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 from my HD 5 v 5s that you see here to my SteelSeries 7 H'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 7 HS might not be quite up to the same standard as 5 v 5s 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 swab which you use to apply the mod Mike apparently there's apparently you're gonna 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 not much in terms of 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 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 melt the thing to my HD 5 v 5s and we'll call that an unboxing so consider this a mod mic installation guide which side does the microphone usually go on this side right let's idea 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 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 magnetic piece at clips on to 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're not I'm going to at least try to do this properly okay so we're going to go with right a boat 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 press it on for thirty seconds so we you know we'll finish pressing it on after okay then the next thing you do is you take the mod mike 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 Mike and you put it into this piece right here so this one's screws 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 I'll hold 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 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 bow what I do oh it's magnets right so it's basically magic 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 sleeving and covering the entirety of both of the wires together so that it's 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 home 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 magnets are basically magic it's amazing and like I've lost completely lost my train of thought I just want to get this I'll I'll 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 antlion mod Mike don't forget to subscribe science tech tips from our unboxings reviews and other computing 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 do-over on the the setup process there thanks guys
