SteelSound 3H Gaming Headset Review - Audio Recording
(Page 4 of 5 )
The SteelSound 3H headset also has a retractable microphone that fully hides inside the ear piece while not in use.
It’s flexible enough to bend wherever you need it, and it stays in whatever position you put it in.
The antenna is multi-directional so you don’t have to have a certain side facing you mouth. Positioning is a little strict, but the payoff for that is worth it. You’ll see why in just a minute.
I don’t do much gaming here in the office, for obvious reasons, but I do produce video tutorials. Generally, I use a standalone microphone for this, but I wanted to put the 3H through the paces so I put it on and went to work.
I listened to some music while I put the script together, and then it was time to get down to business. I was ready to start adding my voice recording to the video.
I was concerned about what kind of sound quality I would get. I didn’t want to sound too quiet or have any echo. The sound for these projects has to sound natural.
I recorded the first audio segment and played back the frames, first through the headset and then through my system speakers. Both sounded perfect.
The microphone is very sensitive and picked up my voice nicely. It also does a great job of filtering out background noises in the room while preserving the audio that you want to hear.
During one recording session someone else in the room started talking. I was sure I would need to record it over, but I played it back first and was pleasantly surprised to only hear my own voice. The 3H had filtered out the other person perfectly.
I finished up my video tutorial and sat through a full playback. I was very pleased with how the 3H performed. I was comfortably able to wear it throughout the entire two-hour process.
