5Finally! An Excellent and Comfortable Headset!  Jan 05, 2009
OMG, they feel and sound wonderful!

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

1. They *don't* squash my ears! (I have a big head and ears)

2. They're light and comfortable!

3. They're strong!

4. They sound grrrrrrreat!

5. I can plug them into a USB port or my soundcard!

6. They easily come apart for transport!

7. They're (virtual) 7.1 speakers!

8. I can hear things in BF2 and in music tracks I never heard before!

9. The cord has an extension in the middle you can remove!

10. You can use the software interface to customize the speaker and subwoofer locations!

11. The microphone stows in the left earpiece out of the way! :-)

For those who complained about listening to music, just move the speakers closer in the setup. Sounds great! Also, use the equalizer in WinAmp or WMP to increase the bass, treble, etc, if you like.

If you are hemming and hawing about the price, they are very well worth it.

I had Turtle Beach 5.1 headset and I had to strrrretch the metal bands to make it not crush my head. Even then, my ears were squashed FLAT, and boy did they hurt.

Just get 'em.


4Great Headset - Not So Great Global Marketing Partners  Dec 31, 2008
Beautiful headset, extremely comfortable in all aspects. Just one small issue. The product arrived without the USB Soundcard connector and the CD for the drivers was blank. Product earns 4 stars, the vendor used by Amazon.com I'll never shop with again.
Any further purchases of this headset will be directly from SteelSeries.

5You won't find a better headset  Dec 05, 2008
I have worn out one pair and actively use two others. This is the best headset I have found, both in terms of comfort and function. Fidelity is exceptional for such a device and comfort is unrivaled. They look big, but are not heavy on the head. You won't even know they are there. There currently is not a pair of cans with a mic attached that can approach the quality of the 5H v2.

3EH. . .   Nov 21, 2008
I got this because it was recommended me through a friend. I won't hold it against the product that one of the speakers sounds like it was blown and cracks a bit depending on the amount of bass. but the sound quality for games could have been better along with music...My friend swears up and down over these but I see issues with it.

On the positive side it is a very durable headset and the way it was built is very practical along with how it disassembles as well is a cool feature...all in all, it could have been better.

3Great for only FPS games. under average for music and rest.  Oct 10, 2008
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.
