SteelSound 4H Headset > Reviews - XSReviews.co.uk - Trusted Hardware Reviews

 

SteelSound have recently expanded their range of headsets, which now included the 5H v2, 4H and the 3H. Today I'm reviewing the 4H, which is dubbed as 'a simplified version of the SteelSound 5H v2'. Lets see whether this is true...

Good bass, Sounds great, Blocks out background noise well, Positionable mic

Cheaper feel compared to the 5H v2, Bass isn't perfect, Uncomfortable,

When SteelSound said that they had made a 'simplified version' of the 5H v2, what they actually mean is that they made a headset that performs the same (same audio quality) but with a lower price and hence a product that isn't as durable or as...

Review: SteelSeries 4H Gaming Headphones

 

A couple weeks ago I took a look at the SteelSeries 3H Gaming headphones, well they've just sent me the 4H version for review which is essentially a more improved version of the 3H. In my review of the 3H headphones I found them to be a bit lacking in...

Comfortable ; Sound excellent in every application tested ; Very good microphone ; Lightweight ; In-line volume control with 3 microphone settings

A bit fragile

Overall the SteelSeries 4H Gaming Headphones are an excellent choice for gamers out there, no matter what types of games you play I think you'll love these headphones.

SteelSeries Steel Sound 4H Headset

 

The market for headphones is an extremely crowded one - from the $5 plastic generic brand headphones at Wal-Mart, to the $1,000 ultra high-end Grado GS1000 headphones (yes, they really do cost $1,000 USD), there are a myriad of choices available....

Outstanding sound, extremely comfortable, effective microphone, reasonable price

Allows external noise in, bass is not as emphatic as other competing headphones

My only real complaint with the 4H's is entirely a personal preference that many people may not find to be an issue. Because of the open design, the 4H's block out very little external environment noise. I like to be completely immersed in whatever...

SteelSound 4H Gamers Headset

 

When building a new system to take to a LAN, often one overlooked component is a headset. When gaming in a noisy environment, or when gaming late at night without disturbing your spouse, a headset is a vital component. There are many headsets on the...

Nice and light ; Comfortable ; Decent sound ; In-line volume and mic controls ; Retractable mic

Wire runs to each side of the headset ; Mediocre bass performance

The SteelSound 4H is a marked improvement over the SteelSound 3H in my opinion. The 4H Headset has microphone controls, is more comfortable and offers better sound and a much better mic than the 3H. Although the bass doesn't shake your brain, for...

SteelSeries 4H Gaming Headset

 

The 4H was created as a simplified version of the 5H, but it feels more like the upgrade from the 3H. Larger ear cups, lighter framework, and volume control are a few of the features on the 4H.

SteelSeries 3H and 4H Headsets

 

SteelSeries has become well known for offering quality products for gamers, and today we are taking a look at two well-priced offerings from their headset lineup, the 3H and 4H.

The 3H is able to fold for more portability. This feature was really useful for carrying it around, and it would probably be a breeze to take to a lanparty. SteelSeries’ top-of-the line 5H allowed you to take apart the headset, so it’s odd that the 4H...

SteelSound 4H

 

continues to expand their innovative product catalog with the recent 3H and 4H headset additions rounding out the SteelSound offering started by the 5H line. What sets SteelSeries apart from most manufacturers in this space is their uncompromising...

The SteelSound 4H represents a benefit for the gamer interested in the quality and support offered by SteelSeries, but who finds the entry price a bit daunting. A simpler version of the 5H in the form of the 4H will change that price-point pain. While...

SteelSound 4H

 

Icemat were one of the first to come up with a glass mousepad. Since than Icemat released a lot more products differentiating from mp3 players and headsets which they called the Icemat Siberia line. We already had the opportunity to try the Icemat

The 4H is priced at around 50 Euro and the 5H at around 80 Euro. The 4H performs just as great as the 5H and does this at a fraction of the cost. Overall a really nice headset, if you don't care about the removable cables, or the removable ear cone...

SteelSeries SteelSound 4H

 

Over the past couple of months, we've had the pleasure of reviewing the SteelSound 5H and the SteelSound 3H from SteelSeries. Today, we will bridge the gap between these two products as we take a look at the SteelSound 4H headset.

When it comes to serious gaming, you need serious gaming equipment. SteelSeries is not one to disappoint when it comes to gaming equipment. This latest product we've looked at, the SteelSound 4H headset, is no exception
