SteelSeries comes out with new headsets

The SteelSeries company has come out with a two new types of headsets for gaming enthusiasts to scream profanities at each other with. Known as the SteelSound 4H and 3H, the two headsets were tested by professional gamers to ensure quality headphones for all-around gaming on consoles and computers. Of course, your choice of headsets won’t only be a matter of quality, but also a matter of ear size.

For the folks with normal-sized ears that don’t stand out, the 3H is your best bet. The gadget is lightweight and foldable making it easy to take around for gaming conventions. It’s also got what SteelSeries calls a “retractable, uni-directional microphone” and features a 50 – 18.000 Hz pickup pattern, which seems to be the best bet for gamers who want to use it while doing an MMORPG raid on bosses.

For people who bear “Dumbo ears” like myself, there’s also the SteelSound 4H, which has bigger ear cups to keep outside noises away from the gaming experience and felt cushions to make your ears feel nice and cozy. Better still, the 4H is designed to work well with FPS and RTS games, as the retractable microphone is uni-directional, ensuring that your teammates hear you in the middle of a firefight.

SteelSound’s 3H and 4H are priced at around US$ 50 and US$ 60, respectively. A lot of bang for your buck, and definitely worth thinking about getting if your team gets creamed in Halo all the time.
