Richard Berry of This is Xbox writes, "The guys and gals over at SteelSeries have been busy crafting their latest creation, the brand new H Wireless Gaming Headset. Not only is it a beauty but it’s also rammed full of features. The headset itself is beautifully packaged with a circuit board effect adorning the box which is printed in a spot varnish for added beauty to those that appreciate graphic design. The unit is slightly more heavyweight than the 7XBs and the quality and build is far better (not that the 7XB wasn’t any good). The headset features the same super comfy ear cups and retractable mic although this time round SteelSeries have made the cups fully rotate so you can rest them around your neck – handy for when you take a break from gaming and the mic is slightly longer and sits closer to your mouth. It always felt a bit strange with how the 7XB’s mic sat so far away."

SteelSeries is at it again… The H-Wireless 7.1 Dolby-supporting surround sound headset takes the concept of "premium audio" and simply tosses it to the wind and resets the bar for what "quality" means in the world of gaming audio. I thought that when I reviewed the SteelSeries Anniversary Edition Siberia Elite headset last year that I knew what good audio sounded like; after all I have worked with some of the greatest manufacturers of audio equipment that money can buy and all of those years' worth of experience amounted to jaw-dropping when I first heard the Siberia Elites. The H-Wireless makes the Anniversary Edition Siberia Elite look like a set of bargain-bin, Cyber Monday freebie earbuds.
Man this review is late...I've owned these incredible headsets for over a year now.....
Josh reviews the Steelseries H Wireless, whilst also pitting some of the most premium headsets against one another, but which is the best?
I only watched the video to the end because I'm in the market for a new headset and thought this would be a nice way to know more about these 3 headsets but the way is so annoying and was really freaking me out always messing with his hair geez.
Do a little research on your own, and you'll see that the Elite 800 isn't rated higher by consumers than several headsets that are much cheaper. Don't know about the Astro a50, though their headsets are generally well liked.
Tin Salamunic: Every gaming headphone manufacturer seems to boast about surround sound these days, but very few headsets actually deliver genuine spatial audio. SteelSeries’ Siberia Elite Prism (as well as the V3 Prism) are an exception, and are some of the best surround headphones we recently tested. However, nothing comes close to SteelSeries’ H Wireless gaming headphones. At $299.99, they aren’t cheap, but their auditory performance outshines every model in its class. Their Dolby capabilities are unparalleled, and come closest to replicating an actual surround speaker setup. For gamers looking to invest in a truly elite headset, it doesn’t get more premium than this. The SteelSeries H Wireless are the Ferrari of gaming headphones, and they support nearly every device on the market.
Fantastic review, great headset!
still waiting for that dolby update for xb1 so my turtle beach can be worth something again....thx
