SteelSeries 4H

$69.99 Released January, 2011

The Pros:Innovative retractable boom mic that can be stored inside the headset. Light weight and comfortable earpads, good for long gaming sessions. Good construction and materials with adjustable metal headband.

The Cons:Microphone is not sensitive, will require some user adjustments for the audio to be heard clearly. Non-flashy aesthetics unlike other gaming brands, some gamers might prefer the striking colours and flashy lights. Not so good for music, due to the emphasis on certain frequencies.

The SteelSeries 4H is a lightweight and entry-level gaming headset designed for serious gamers. It lacks some of the features on more premium-grade models from SteelSeries—leather cushions, advanced volume controls, USB connectivity—but it does provide the same level of audio quality, courtesy of large 40mm SteelSound SunDancer driver units.

Also included are XL-sized ear cushions for maximum comfort, a uni-directional microphone for chatting with teammates, and in-line volume controls for more easily adjusting audio output while in the middle of an in-game battle. Unfortunately, the volume cannot be fine-tuned between in-game and voice-chat sounds. This is however typical for an entry-level headset.
