(Page 1 of 5 )
For a hardcore gamer, there is almost nothing better than a pair of high quality gaming headphones, except of course a high quality gaming headset with retractable microphone. Today we’ll be taking a look at the SteelSound 5H v2 from SteelSeries, to see how it measures up.
My years of being a DJ have left me very picky when it comes to audio equipment. Whether I’m gaming or just listening to some tunes on my computer, I expect the highest quality out of my headphones. This is why, when SteelSeries sent us the SteelSound 5Hv2 for review, I immediately volunteered myself to review them.
SteelSeries has a reputation in the gaming community as a manufacturer of high quality gaming gear. Hopefully this headset will live up to its expectations.
Before digging into the box, let’s take a look at the features and specifications.
Features:
- Custom-engineered soundscape designed specifically to enhance performance and immersion in gaming. This headset was developed and optimized for in-game sound frequencies, which makes in-game sounds like footsteps, alerts and gunfire especially clear. You will be able to hear and pinpoint the location of your opponents, often before they hear you.
- Full-size headphones gently fit around the ears and reduce background noise, while providing maximum wearing comfort.
- Bringing the headset with you has never been easier or safer. The SteelSound 5H v2 can be easily dismantled into three separate parts, which makes transportation a breeze. The pieces will easily fit into a bag or a carrying case.
- SteelSound 5H v2 also features a pull-out microphone system. The retractable microphone is practically invisible when not in use. The microphone cord is covered in high quality transparent plastic to ensure long-lasting durability.
