not 5.1?, errrm...the wife might not understand?
Needless to say - I really like the SteelSeries 5H V2, and am becoming very fond of the company itself. It is very clear that they put a lot of effort into researching and designing their gaming gear. I found this headset to give quite a good direction...

Price premium for USB.

Steelseries has delivered an excellent product for gamers. We could continue to elaborate on what we wrote on the first page but all that needs to be said is that this headset is a keeper. For anyone looking for a great gaming headset at an affordabl...
