so over the last few months I've been sent in a lot of different products and I've been meaning to do a review on them but every time I went to do a review there was another product that would come up and something else that was more important and I just get onto that but today that's all gonna change and we've also got a few new hot products that have just been sent in as well one being a new headset from Audio Technica which we're going to take a look at and also Corsair sent out a massive box of goodies for Christmas so there's a lot of different reviews that are going to be packed all into one video today and we're gonna go through it pretty quickly so if you guys enjoy this new format as well then please let me know in the comments but let's get on with it welcome back to tech yes it is Branca me to you guys today with a look at many different products sort of like a mass mini review all in one video and the first of which we have is the BPHS one from Audio Technica this is a headset that's designed for streamers or people who want a really good microphone built onto a headset with really good audio quality now I have tested out the audio quality coming into these headphones and it's extremely good bass and mids are really present it's a warm sound signature which I'm not used to with audio technica headphones that I've tried in the past so for me personally I love the audio coming into these headphones but also with that the microphone is the biggest selling point of this headset I'm actually recording this piece here for you guys so you can hear exactly what it's like dynamic microphone so it will cancel out a lot of the background noise but with that you will need a USB audio interface with the one I've got now as the edirol by Roland this has a compressor built on it's also got an XLR in and also a quarter inch jack headphone out so out of the box basically this headset won't work with onboard audio and a lot of sound cards too so you will want to get a USB audio interface if you purchase this it does come in at 200 USD so it is a little bit expensive but for what you're getting it is extremely good if you want to stream or you want good audio quality when you're playing games with your friends or you want to do a bit of broadcasting work on the side now it's currently out in the US and in Australia they're going to release it locally in early 2018 so expect an update with that and with that let's get on to the mod mic five now so next up now we have the mod Mike five this is a microphone that just attaches onto any pair of headphones regardless of having that cable on your headphones you now add an additional cable which makes your headphones a headset and with the mod Mike five antolín have told me that they've improved it over the mod Mike four it's got a better microphone but also with that the cabling is much better - they've included tubular protective covering so you can put both your headphone cables and the antlion mod mic cable into one cable and sort of clean it up they've also included an inline mute switch and all this can be had for 50 US dollars shipped to your door so next up here we have the Xiaomi mi 6 I think it is and this is a smart phone that essentially is delivering just pure value for money in terms of the hardware comes loaded with six gigabytes of RAM 64 gigabytes of internal storage and also with that it's an all-glass model as well so it does look very sleek the screen is very nice however one thing I did I did use this for about a good month and one thing I found over that period was that the phone itself although it was fast and snappy it didn't have problems with the apps working on this particular phone Google Maps for example when I was driving and doing parts hunts I'd pull over and then I'd try and get my Google Maps just to quickly check where I was going make sure I was on the right path and then it would just quit to the phone top not the desktop I don't know that's what you call it the phone top but I'd go to the phone top and suddenly I'd just by myself frustrated also the battery life and the UI was a little bit mediocre for me as well as the audio coming out of this phone so the hardware itself if you're into a very sort of fast and snappy phone and you need something that's a workhorse this phone will definitely be for you if you're looking for value for money so if you're like me and you want a little bit more from a smart phone especially with the UI and the experience then personally I'm with Huawei and I've been with them for years I went back to my p9 after I started using this and I haven't looked back and now I'm on the may 10 but if you're looking for something that does kick it hard for faith money then I'll put the link in the description below this was provided by banggood and it come in at a pretty good price point especially for the hardware that you're getting also the camera was very mediocre as well especially even compared to the p9 so it's really got a lot of just raw hardware that's the thing that's going for in this phone as well as the aesthetics so next up here we have a very cool little LED light it's called the literate torch and I actually was surprised when I pulled this thing out of the box it was very small it charges up via a USB cable and it's magnetic as well so you can stick it to any metal object if you need a light on the go it does work with a GoPro as well it does have a GoPro mount and there are three different levels of brightness as well as a flashing mode and you can turn it straight off by holding the power button down one thing I would have liked to have seen with this little attachment would have been a shootout as well a horseshoe mount so you could put it on the cameras for example like my Sony camera that I'm using now that would have been a really good addition though I believe you can just purchase one of these off eBay for like a dollar and it would fix up this torch absolutely fine there for what it's worth very cool little device but with that said it's time to take a look at some little keyboards and little computers and first up here we have the even PO III it's a mini wireless touchpad and keyboard and it comes in a 17 US Dollars and so it's very cheap but one thing I found was the keyboard was just way too small I could not use this thing and I would not like to use this thing just due to how small it is but if you need something in your living room or for a Smart TV or something like that then I can see how something like this could be beneficial especially if you don't use it that much and of course the touch sensitivity was right on the money it was very good in terms of the touch sensitivity the keyboard did work well for what it was and also the coolest thing about it was you had the modes to switch between keyboard and touchpad and when you switch to the touchpad mode the whole little keyboard itself became one big Mouse so that was actually a pretty cool idea and in practice the wireless signal strong comes with a charging cable charges via USB too so not a bad little product for 17 dollars however speaking of small and small computers we have here the GPD pocket or gamepad digital this was an IndieGoGo campaign starter I think and now it's being sold on gearbest.com for about 500 US dollars delivered to your door and so they sent this over and it does come with Windows 10 pre-installed and now of course whenever I see a Windows 10 key I just show you guys i'ma hook up so let me know in the comments section below if this Windows 10 key works for you but with that said it comes with a small keyboard that works very well and the build quality is very nice it also has an Intel Atom CPU processor and also has eight gigabytes of memory installed with a 120 gigabyte SSD and this thing really when it comes down to it is very nice for watching movies on the go or if you need to send emails it's are very good for that as well so it's sort of like a mini little pocket device that you can carry with you for quick business in terms of gaming I don't think it would do much of that at least I checked can it run it on dota 2 and this thing couldn't run it at all I mean it might be good for some web browser games but with that said I don't really think it's a gaming device and more or less functions as a mini business computer of course just like the even Poe keyboard another weakness with this device is since the keyboard is so small it really is hard to type on I think I got like 16 words per minute when I was typing with this device though the little mouse pad little digit thing that works really well in practice and also besides that charging this thing is a breeze and it's very small both with the adapter included too so next up with the list of goodies we have here a box sent in from Corsair of course there is a channel sponsor and the reason I took a sponsorship with them is because they make really good products and they sent us out a Christmas gift and inside was a keyboard that honestly looks really damn good this is the k70 rapid-fire special edition or S II it's white key caps on a very light silver aluminium brush surface you've also got RGB backlighting as well and out of the box the RGB lighting is a really good color code as well you've got the cherry MX silver switches as well which are faster than the Reds in terms of response times so glad to see that was implemented on this keyboard you've got your media controls in the top right I think I have fell in love with this keyboard already sorry for the rude interruption I just had to quickly go outside for a few hours and start rendering walls with my friend but back onto topic here we've got the st 100 headset stand or headphone stand it's RGB can also power USB devices from the included USB device and they also sent over a hat as well and that's pretty cool and there was a Christmas decoration Christmas tree decoration as well that Nvidia also sent over one as well so I've got two Christmas tree decorations now and speaking of hats and swag and all that as rocks sent over there hat as well and this one looks really cool they've also sent over a folder and a pillow and I'm not sure if that's a message that they want me to get more sleep or if they want me to be more organized and or both so the next product we got up here is a come eat gummy robot they sent over two of them but unfortunately the instructions didn't work so my brother he just built this in his spare time and we got it working here and I decided to give it a trial run and it works ok I mean the controls are a little bit awkward it doesn't move where you want it to go but you can't control the speed from slow to really fast and it does get pretty fast as max speed it's also got different modes like afraid of the dark and trying to scare my cat with it my cat just didn't get fazed at all so I think this product would be one of those things that would be really cool if you had a five-year-old and you wanted to build sign together and just control two of these with smartphones each they are $50 u.s. each and I think this was done from a Kickstarter campaign or something like that so I wouldn't link in the description below if you want something to build with your kids or something like that just something fun in your free time but as opposed to just a dedicated adult something like this I'd probably rather like some really fast monster truck or something like that but with better controls so as I said before the controls were a little bit awkward do you have a mind of its own sometimes and didn't really go where I wanted it to but did manage to do some burnouts sometimes which is weird but also with that the battery life lasts about 20 minutes and you takes about half an hour to charge off from the computer to so now the next product we've got here is the REO link this is a security camera and it's wireless so it can connect to your router or your smart directly or you can put in an microSD card now it does come with for lithium batteries you can use a rechargeable batteries if you like to and so you can put this anywhere and just start having a security camera on hand and now I decided to check the quality of this security camera and it was actually surprisingly really good especially in the dark and I guess that's where you would want a security camera to perform so when we put this in the room it performed really well in the dark so it's great for monitoring kids but if you wanted to use it outside for a dedicated security device and maybe think twice about it because it does come with an installation kit you can screw it down and it is pretty effective but it's so easy to take off like they've got two options you can connect it via a magnet or you can connect it via screwing it down but both methods are extremely easy to take this camera off and just essentially run away with it though it does work really well and connecting and setting it up is extremely easy - they last on the test bed we have two different products from Oris and gigabyte though I'm pretty sure nowadays they're two and the same but they have first up here the Auris ATC 700 which is a massive cooler with two fans pre-attached and some RGB on the top and this cooler after testing it for 20 minutes with the ex 5670 which is a 6 quart 12 threaded Zeon at 4.3 2 gigahertz at one point 3 5 volt did extremely well I mean this is an air cooler it could handle a very aggressive overclock with 30 degree ambient temperatures and it did so while remaining not too late I'll let you guys take a quick listen to the noise and so I was actually quite happy with the performance of this cooler though the installation was a bit tedious I'd like to see them maybe rework the installation on this thing but other than that it's actually a pretty solid cooler and if you like the look of it then maybe it's for you as opposed to the power supply I don't really have the proper gear to fully test power supplies yet but one thing I've noticed though is I do look for actual voltage changes and that's related of course not just to the power supply back to the motherboard itself and the power supply seemed to check out it was doing a pretty decent job at least with overclocking the Xeon to 4.3 to gigas which again is not actually bad for the dead heat of summer so both these parts seem to be doing the job of course with the power supply we'll only be able to tell over time if this thing is a solid unit or not but with that both these parts will be used with this x58 motherboard in an upcoming comparison for you guys are going to be comparing this X 56 70s Xeon at four point three two gigahertz versus the Rison chips which will be overclocked and the coffee leg chips which will be overclocked to give you guys an ultimate showdown and also see how far we've come in recent times or at least maybe in 10 years almost a decade now with a 1080 Ti as well as the graphics card that'll be overclocked too so hopefully this bounce play will hold up in that comparison and it won't blow up but anyway if you've made it this far I have one more little surprise this is a GeForce GTX USB drive that Nvidia gave me at pax Australia and they told me that I could do whatever I want with it and I'm gonna be giving away to one of you guys this will be a flash giveaway I'll be announcing the winners in one days time on Christmas Eve so stay

announcing the winners on Twitter so stay tuned but anyway guys that's about it for today if you enjoyed today's video then be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comments section below what was your favorite product in today's video I would have to give this slight edge and I say slight because I did love that Corsair k70 rapid special edition with the white and silver theme that thing was awesome the keys are so solid the silver switches are amazing but the slight edge ghosts that audio-technica had said that thing blew me away the audio in and out quality of that thing is just on another level yes it's $200 yes it's expensive but you generally get what you pay for them what you're getting here is just one amazing headset I look forward to using that in streams and broadcasting with it for you guys and I can highly recommend it at least after what I heard both coming in and out of that thing but also with that said if you guys are interested in any of the products I've used in today's video then I'll put the links in the description below with the prices and with that said I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
