Zowie Gear Hammer Gaming Headset and G-TF Cloth Mouse Pad Unboxing Linus Tech Tips

2009-11-18
okay so today I'm unboxing a couple of Zahle gear products as you can see I'm in the camera man's office so I am finally back at work after my boat with the swine flu honestly I know nothing about zowie as a company except that they make gaming peripherals we don't actually carry them yet however I'm gonna have a look at these evaluation products and check out what I think of them so this headset is called the hammer it should fall around like a $69.99 $79.99 sort of price range it has some guy on it who says it's really good and then it has another guy who also says it's really good okay so it's designed for eSports so that means it's designed for sports that you do not leave your armchair in order to do the very best kinds of sports obviously okay so we'll start with the headset and they also have a mousepad which is the GTF or two-face okay so headset here the build quality actually there's nothing particularly exceptional about it but it feels like it's gonna be pretty comfortable when I go ahead and put this on my head so I'm just gonna figure out which way okay so the arm here is a little bit stiff for the huge huge microphone which looks like it should be pretty good it's like an enormous microphone in there I don't know why you would need that but either way that's pretty cool so this is the left ear so I should probably be putting the this turns all the way around okay so I should probably put that over there so I'm gonna check out the comfort level here how do I look cameraman is making kind of like a weird face at me this isn't actually flexible which is something I don't really like so you can't adjust how far the mic sits away from your head however they're incredibly light which I guess is one huge advantage of such a such a slim design and another thing that I've noticed about them asks I had them on is that they are using a closed design so that means that sound is gonna be a little bit more tinny you're gonna get a little bit less bass but the advantage is going to be that directionality is much better other people can't hear what you're listening to and you can't hear any outside noises like I can hardly hear myself talk when I have these on much like the Sennheiser PC 350 s ok so it also comes with what do we got here oh okay we've got an on on the on the cable we have switch for the mic as well as a volume control this feels pretty cheap and cheesy but I don't think the clips want anywhere anytime soon so should be durable enough from that perspective and then we have let's see pretty short cable but it looks like this little accessory package here comes with an extension cable so that you can either plug into the back of a keyboard on your desk or you can reach around all the way from reach around or you can reach round all the way to the back of the case okay it also comes with a couple of foam ear pads so you can actually replace the plethora ones that come with it and it looks like oh this is actually really easy to do with foam ones should you prefer that feel on your ears of the lure or whatever you want to call this on Tyrael okay let's move on to the most patents gonna cop ones here sorry about that yeah I'm not still not feeling 100% quite yet okay so this is the GTX or the two-faced it is a spawn okay whatever that means it has this badass looking guy on it and it says okay what is unique about this mouse pad it is that it is a hundred percent cloth but it is as fast as plastic because it actually uses a plastic coating over top so that's kind of like the SteelSeries 5l which is a cloth pad with a plastic layer on top except that this is not a hard pad this is actually still a rollable sort of actual cloth pad whereas the 5l sits on like a plastic back substrate sort of thing so this is are quite a large mousepad as you can see here look with it in front of me so I've got the camera man's like ghetto Mouse here just totally sucks but in terms of terms of glide actually I can't really see it being any faster than the qck that I'm using it but I do like the rough textured feel quite a lot if you can I don't know how the cameraman it's gonna sort of capture that but have a look and I also really like how thick it is this is quite a thick mousepad and it has nice nice woven edges which is something that I've noticed about Mikey CK is the edges are getting quite frayed and I can see that this would cause that to not happen the back is are rubberized very grippy I'm just obviously you've never used a mouse on the back of a mousepad never do that it's stupid but I'm putting a mouse on the back of it so that I can demonstrate it's quite grippy when you put it down on the desk and it's not gonna move if even if you lift your Nelson kind of that sort of thing anyway thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Zoe gear hammer & 2face bus pad
