![]() ![]() Used for the console and mobile/aux connections respectively. There is also a little compartment which has the input for the 2.5mm and 3.5mm connections. The headset has a button that is used to mute the headset and turn it on/off (it should be off when used with an aux cable). The lithium battery is inter-changeable with the spare battery SteelSeries provide you with. This cup can be removed, to expose the lithium battery that is found within it. The driver has a plastic cup that goes on it with the SteelSeries logo on it. The microphone is retractable and has a small ring around the end of the microphone, where if the headset is muted there is an illuminated red colour to signify the headset is indeed muted. Moving unto the headset itself, which is a masterpiece in its own right. The optical cable included is rather thin (possibly the thinnest optical cable I’ve ever seen), but does the job as intended. The console cable has a slightly smaller 2.5mm jack on both ends allowing you to connect it to your console controllers – such as the one found on the Xbox 360. The aux cable has a 3 conductor design and is terminated on both end by straight gold plated 3.5mm jacks. The mobile cable has 4 conductors (in order to enable mic controls) and is terminated on one end by a right angle jack, whilst the other end (which plugs into the headphone) is a straight 3.5mm jack. The aux and mobile cable are slightly different in their termination. Starting from the bottom, we have several cables that are all gold plated jacks. From the removable cable to the ability to change your batteries on the go. The build quality from the other SteelSeries headsets I can reviews was near excellent, but this H Wireless is truly excellent and perfect in all aspects. ![]() Overall the included accessories are excellent and the thought process to include all the things is top-notch from SteelSeries. This comes down to the headphones have a pivot driver design, which allows you to store the headset more conveniently in a rucksack. The only thing missing from the package, is a small carrying pouch, which can be used to store the headphones and be used to take them on the go. It is one that can be also changed on the fly and changed for the region that you’re going to be in. What I mean is that you aren’t limited to a headset that can only be charged in the UK or the EU. It is nice to see that SteelSeries also thought about the worldwide availability of the headset and thus the worldwide use of the headset. Moving unto the package contents of the H Wireless – you get a nice plethora of accessories to use with your headset:Ĥx inter-changeable worldwide plugs (UK, EU, US & Asia)Īs you can see SteelSeries have really thought it through and included everything needed to use your headset with a various array of inputs (more on that in a bit). A big, solid box that has a nice texture to it. Starting off with the packaging, it gives off an extremely good impression of what will lie inside. They are the same headsets, just re-named!įor more information about the headset and its specifications can be found on SteelSeries’ website. Note: At the time of review – it was named the H Wireless, but has since been updated to the 800 Wireless. ![]() I spent £270 for the headphones, incl my mods – thus my Denon’s and a ModMic 4.0 offer an audiophile headset equivalent. I put it up against the Denon AH-D2000 which has been modded and will thus be the equivalent to a D5000. ![]() Thus this is an expensive headset, it competes with a lot of audiophile headphones in its category, let alone headsets. The H Wireless can be found on AmazonUK for around £235 & AmazonUSA for $278. After having reviewed the Siberia V2 Heat Orange Gaming Headset and the 9H Gaming Headset I was very much curious to see how the wireless offering by SteelSeries would compare, both sonically and in terms of its overall performance as a headset. Overall sound quality for a headset: 10/10įirst of all I would like to thank SteelSeries for sending me their headset for review. Pros: Build quality, wireless integration, cross-platform integration, sound quality, microphone clarity, retractable microphone, accessories, different types of connections ![]()
