Steelseries H Wireless Review - Best Wireless Headphones

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso on my channel in the past i've done a ton of gaming headset reviews and headphone reviews to give you guys you know my overall experience at the mmi review so you guys can have a better idea of how they work how they function and you know if they're the right fit for you and a lot of times finding that perfect pair of you know headset or headphones it's kind of a hard thing to do there's a ton of things to factor into it you know like wired wireless some features um how they feel how they sound how the mic is just a lot of factor in to find the best one for you so i'm gonna give you guys an honest review of the steelseries h wireless a completely wireless pair of gaming headphones that breaks the barrier of headset and headphones for pretty much any genre of whatever you're doing whether it's gaming watching tv but since they're a gaming pair of headphones i'm going to talk to you guys about the h wireless and my experience with them with gaming so far when steelseries put out their h wireless headset last year um it came with a high end price tag you know 300 is kind of steep for somebody who's just looking to pick up a regular pair of headphones or a headset but for the person who is looking for a very high-end pair of gaming headphones and wants pretty much the best of the best that 300 price tag is very well justified so first off just taking a look around the box itself you'll see it's very very nicely packaged i love the way they have the steel series logo embroidered on the box makes it look nice and shiny when you open it up you'll have right there in front of you the h wireless headset as well as the base station which is going to be your your your dac if you will because that's a dac built inside this is where you're going to be able to you know mess with the volume and stuff plug it into your tv because on the back side there's a lot of options you have your analog in chat out your dc for power usb optical in and optical out so you can connect this to your tv your xbox one your ps4 your pc pretty much anything that would have sound coming out of it you can plug this into and listen to it wirelessly you also find another box inside the box which is going to contain all your warranty information a bunch of wires and cables as well as pretty much any outlet for wherever you are around the world a little outlet adapter so you can plug it in get it charged up as well as a battery but we'll get into that in a little bit as well so that's a really cool thing so one of the main things that steelseries boasts with these is completely lag free wireless gaming and i've used these for around two to three weeks just as you can see i have a bunch of headphones in the past but for gaming i just use the h wireless and i can honestly say that lag free experience for being wireless is completely 100 true a lot of times with bluetooth headphones or wireless headphones there's going to be you know some sort of lag or some sort of interference with them because you know connecting the bluetooth isn't always the best option or just having wireless there's going to be some sort of interference with whatever you're listening to but with these with the bass station i experienced absolutely zero lag and the sound was absolutely phenomenal now taking a look at the headset now as you can see very nicely built um composed mainly of plastic but that's okay um usually you can tell there's a cheap plastic but with these they're rugged they're sturdy and they've got some heft to them so i feel like if you drop them they're not going to crack at all but again you want to be careful with your stuff especially a 300 uh gaming head so you're not gonna want to be throwing it around the town so uh just be careful you have very very nicely padded ear cups as you can see here they feel very very nice on my ears they are over the ear headphones so when you put them on you're going to have very nice softly padded cushions on your ears it's going to make for a nice experience if you're playing these for a long time and on top on the headband as well you can see there are five separate cushions for your points of pressure and those two are very nicely padded they sort of memory foam material where it's going to make it feel nice on your head the ear cups themselves do swivel 90 degrees so you can lay them flat on your desk or you know around your neck if you're not using them you have a volume button up top a little volume rocker the power button which acts as a power and a mute button if you hold it down it will power the device on and off and if you just tap the button it will mute the mic a share and chat feature and then lastly on the other e-cup you will have the microphone you know we've seen these in the past the pull out mics and from steel series are very popular we've come to know these and that's great because i hate headphones that just have non-removable mics that are just constantly in front of you and they're big with this you can pull it in or you can put it back into the ear cup it's not going to be obnoxious it's discreet and you know it's right there you can adjust it to however you want in front of your mouth and by removing the little ear plate on the ear cup where the mic is you will find the battery and this is the battery it's going to you know charge the wireless headset since it's wireless it's not gonna be any cables that's gonna be the battery and i mentioned before there's an extra battery in the box inside the box and what you can do with that is when this one's dead or while you're using this one you can charge that other battery inside the base station so while you're using this if it's starting to run out you can just swap the batteries in and out of the base station and that one since it's plugged into the wall on the base station it'll be charging it 24 7. you can swap them out and as soon as someone starts to go as soon as the battery starts to get low swap them out and you will have a fresh new battery so now getting into my experience with these i really in the past i've only used two pair of fully wireless headphones being the sony elite gold edition headset and the sony uh pulse edition headset and they were really great but they had you know build quality problems and i kind of just i steered away from them because they were just sony products and on my channel i reviewed a ton of steel series headsets in the past including the prism and the elite prism and i've really liked steel series headsets over time um just real quick if i had to give like a little category each i think corsair has the best keyboards razer has the best all-around you know options for each gaming peripheral i would say logitech has the best mice but steel series hands down has the best gaming headsets ever they blow any other gaming headset i've used out of the water from any other company and they are the king of gaming headsets so when i picked these up i kind of had high expectations for them because they are completely wireless they're 300 and they're from steel series who is pretty highly regarded in my book so when i went to test these like i said high expectations i played primarily gta 5 which is you know as everyone knows gta 5 it is a game that is just all over the place tons of different you know sound stages and tons of different sound samples the audio in that game is phenomenal and usually when i do reviews i like to review different games because there's all different sounds different games with gta 5 i figured it would give these the best experience i'm listening since there's just so much sound and immersion in that game and in that world and when i was playing these i can say i was fully fully immersed just walking around the ambient noises the gunshots the explosions just the driving everything felt so authentic and so real and completely forgetting these are wireless there was no interference no lag the sound was absolutely amazing steelseries does have software in which you can go in and download and tweak some of the stuff but i hate software i hate that kind of stuff we can go in and mess with the settings i like to stay away from it but what i found is on the base stock itself or on the base station you can go in and actually tune most of it on the base station as well going to the option it's a nice bright oled display so wherever you have this thing if you don't want to download the software you can go in change all the sound on the fly right on the base station and real quick i'll give you guys a little mic test so you can see how it sounds this is the mic test for the steelseries h wireless gaming headset now i know it doesn't sound absolute best i would have liked a little bit better sound quality since these are wireless but again with wireless it's gonna you know lack in some feel and the mic isn't bad it's not horrible your friends playing online will hear you just fine but for 300 i would have liked a little bit better sound quality from the mic but i won't complain so all in all guys for 300 these are going to be for a niche audience for someone who wants a very very high-end pair of wireless gaming headsets so if you're in the market for one of those if you game a lot if you're on your xbox your ps4 your pc your mac whatever you're gaming with if you want a high-end completely wireless experience you can probably justify the 300 price point for the h wireless if i had to repurchase these again i definitely would because they are by far the best wireless headset that i have ever used the sound was amazing the base stations built together very nice they can fit in on your battle station desktop and your entertainment center on your living room wherever you have the space station is going to fit in is built very nice the headset itself was built very nice it's very comfortable i had zero comfortability issues and then even the uh the glasses test which i like to do with a lot of headsets and headphones when the glasses are on didn't interfere with that at all it didn't pressure them against my head or anything like that it felt great they're a comfortable pair they sound amazing guys and like i said if you can justify the 300 then these are gonna be for you all right everybody it's gonna do with my review of the steelseries h wireless headset the completely great wireless headset from steel series um if you are in the market for one of these and you want
