What is the difference between the SteelSeries 5H v2 and the SteelSeries 5H v2 USB?
The USB soundcard.
What's the difference between SteelSeries 5H v2 and the other "gaming headsets" out there?
SteelSeries 5H v2 USB was actually built for gaming, featuring a custom-engineered soundscape created specifically for in-game sounds. We isolated key sound frequencies used in the most popular eSport-titles and optimized the headset to produce these sounds especially clear. If we use Counter-Strike as an example we focused on sounds like footsteps, gunfire, reloads and grenades bouncing off a wall. The result is that key gaming sounds will sound clearer and it will be easier to hear and navigate your surroundings when playing -- giving you an advantage over your opponents. SteelSound 5H v2 USB doesn't just reproduce sound, it actually enhances critical in-game sounds, you're playing to win -- right?
What the difference between SteelSound 5H USB and SteelSeries 5H v2 USB?
We screwed up on two batches of SteelSound 5H, resulting in a return rate of almost 4% (completely unacceptable). After issuing a press release and full return program, and offering affected customers a complimentary SteelSeries QcK to apologize for the inconvenience, we went back to the drawing board and improved our headset. SteelSeries 5H v2 USB features numerous improvements, including a braided cord, 50% bigger ear-cushions, much improved mechanical design on contacts and sliding elements, a longer microphone boom, a new microphone and a more ergonomic headband cushion.
I have a soundcard in my computer is your USB soundcard better than what I already own?
Probably not. Our tiny and affordable soundcard was never designed to out-perform the big expensive soundcards out there. It was designed for gamers who either use systems with (often crappy) on-board soundcards or players who travel a lot.
Why is your USB soundcard better than my on-board soundcard?
The soundcard features a processor which frees up CPU power on systems utilizing an on-board soundcard. More free CPU power equals more CPU power for your game application -- and quite possibly a better in-game performance from the player. The sound quality should be considerably better as well.
Why do you recommend your USB soundcard for gamers who travel?
Playing at home is one thing. Playing at LAN-parties, tournaments or even netcafes is an entirely different thing. Imagine playing on a tournament computer with a crappy on-board soundcard -- or just a soundcard which produces an entirely different soundscape than you're used too. All those hundreds of hour practicing at home, getting used to your in-game sound and all the timings and in-game decisions you base on sound, just went out the window. With our USB soundcard you play anywhere, with the same sound settings you've practiced with every day.
Customer Reviews
Great for Games, Ok for Music
Let me start off by saying, for gaming i don't think there is a better headset out there. The virtual 7.1 works flawlessly and the mic on this thing is crystal clear. Its relatively comfortable, although I start to sweat around my ears around the 1 hour mark. Also if you are considered one with a small head, i might go try it on first. I have what you call a large head with some hair and i have this thing cranked all the way down. Works for me but not so sure about others.
Music - Very mediocre. i know it is optimized for GAMING but i still feel it fell short in this department. don't expect to be blown away or even satisfied if you want to listen to music a lot on headphones.
All in all its a solid headset, and is well worth the money if you are into gaming.
UPDATE:so it has been 4 days and the right side of the headphones has stopped working. i am very surprised/annoyed because i handled these things like a baby and still went out on me. i thought it was something funky with vista so i turned on the "flip sound" so the left side plays on the right and visa versa and no sound still. plugged it into a friends computer and same thing. not very happy that i spent $100 on these and they fail within such a short amount of time.
Great for only FPS games. under average for music and rest.
As advertised, this is gaming headset. Customers who purchased this headset for strictly for FPS game should be very satisfied. For customer who is consider purchasing this product thinking they can sacrifice other sounds of music, video play, etc thinking sacrifice is very minimal, think again. This headset is not for everyday use. I read the reviews and knew headset was horrible reproducing sounds outside of gaming but took a risk thinking how bad can it be. It's really bad. You hear almost no bass in music and have to turn EQ on always. But turning bass on will make Speakers in headset distort playing music with heavy bass in any volume. Watching movies on PC with headset is little better but voice and rest of the sounds feel very distant. It feels like movie is playing inside a small hall. This is same problem for playing games other than FPS. Any games with nice background music or cinematic trailers have to suffer its quality. For $$ you paid for this headset, not sure why you have to sacrifice any sound. Headset itself, mic and built quality are good. I been using it for about 2 month and hope it will last forever. Headset is not for everyday use but playing COD4, CS:source, Crysis is at its best. Customers thinking minimal sacrifice, do not buy this headset. This is FPS game headset ONLY.
Above average. Far above average. *WAY* above average!!
Let me start by saying that I'm no audiophile. I don't care if my home stereo or home theater can deliver music in 5.1 ultra surround or whatever and I've been content with my "el cheapo" headset for gaming and general computer use.
But when it finally broke, I followed a friend recommendation and bought the Steelseries 5H USB and it feels like a veil had been lifted from my face (or ears in this case). I had no idea games could sound so beautiful. I can hear each of the little bells that sound in the background when casting a healing spell or hear with almost pinpoint accuracy where is that zombie approaching from.
The microphone works great and the fact that is retractile is nice. The headset itself is comfy and big enough to cover my freakishly large ears completely without giving me a headache after a few hours of usage.
I'll be the first to admin that it is not inexpensive (you can get a Logitech for about a fourth of the price). But if you can afford it, and your primary use is games, you can't go wrong with a SteelSeries.
