SteelSeries 7H USB Pro Gaming Headset

Finding a headphone set with good audio quality has become quite easier but also quite more complicated over the years. You see 5-10 years ago we only had just a handful of PC oriented headphone sets promising virtual 3D Surround sound but now we have...

Price (For Some) ; USB Soundcard Could Be Better ; Bulky Look

The 7H USB may be somewhat more bulky and less elegant than their predecessors but quality-wise they are quite better and can easily go up against the best gaming oriented headphones in the market today. Audio-Wise things are not as easy since the...

SteelSeries 7H USB Headset Review

SteelSeries are not a company who stand still and even back in March when we attended CeBIT they were starting to show their next model to select members of the press. From our brief demo of the headset that day we were impressed and couldn't wait for...

The SteelSeries 7H and 7H USB completely blow away other headsets in the same price range. For gaming they are flawless and when listening to music they come close to matching headsets which are more than twice their price.

Steel Series 7H Headset

Steel Series has stuck with the 5H as their flagship headset for some time now so it was kind of a surprise when they announced the 7H a few months ago. Not wasting any time I made it known multiple times that I was very interested to take a look at...

I was excited to see what Steel Series had to offer with its new 7H and I was not disappointed. I did have a few issues; first was with fit because of the large size of my head. I also had some issues with the microphone switch. But those issues are...

not good

for the price, i would consider looking into sennheiser gaming headsets for much better quality all around.

this headset produces good sound when its working

my headset would randomly cut out in my right ear frequently, i would have to wiggle my headset back and forth to get the sound to come back through. the mic is bad to say the least

Perfect

Not a single flaw so far. Its been about 2 months since recieving it. Ive used it for every single dota 2 game ive played since, and other games. And it shows no signs of letting up.
