  • Price premium for USB.
  • Overall, the SteelSeries 5H-V2 USB Gaming Headset is a excellent bit of kit, but it does have it's drawbacks, most notably, the hefty price tag of £70. The 7.1 USB system works well enough, but is reliant on the software made available from C-Me...

  • The 5H v2 has several improvements on the previous version. The SteelSound 5H v2 focuses far too much on getting one up on the opposition in first person shooters, as opposed to being an all-round performer. If you’re looking for a headset which wil...
