  • Abstract:  Video Review: Both the SteelSound 3H and 4H headsets offer great bang for the buck. The 3H headset is targeted at the budget market, but great if you need an inexpensive, small, foldable headset for a LAN party. The 4H has a little better sound quality, larger earcups, and is more comfortable, but it's not foldable like the 3H. Watch the Video to find out more...

  • Abstract:  Let’s face it. Those of us who play games sometimes lose track of time and have been known to have marathon sessions sitting in front of our computers. Whether it be destroying giant robots or blasting off head shots, we love the sound of explosions an...

  • From what Ive experienced, the Steelseries Steelsound 3H Gaming Headset makes for a very durable headset that you can toss around without a care. You can run over the sturdy cord with your chair, or yank the robust connectors out of your PC by accide...

  • Lightweight, Foldable/collapsible, Long cord, Hidden microphone, Very comfortable to wear for long periods
  • Sound is sort of muffled, not crisp and clear, Not really for music
  • The SteelSeries Steelsound 3h Headphones are an excellent entry level gaming product for those looking for quality gaming sounds. They are portable and very well made, they should last through many a frag session. For gaming the Steelsound 3h headphon...

  • Relatively light and portable, Good bass, Nice retractable microphone
  • No real noise canceling/reducing features, Small earpads
  • The 3H can be purchased directly from the SteelSeries website for $55 + shipping (Ed: You can find them elsewhere for ~$40.00). While I think thats a reasonable price for the combination of a fairly good pair of headphones that provide reasonably good...

  • Lightweight folding design, Retractable mic, Gold-plated connectors.
  • Small "cans" are uncomfortable, Mic picks up background noise, No Mic "Mute" feature.
  • This headset is a decent choice, but I do believe that it could be better. The mic is way too sensitive and picks up a lot of background noise. If you are trying to use it for gaming or VOIP in a somewhat noisy environment (you have kids or are at a...

  • Light-weight, Compact, folding design, Crisp Sound/Mic Fidelity
  • Uncomfortable for extended use, Average Bass Response, No Inline Controls, Price
  • This headset offers the bare essentials which means no in-line volume, mute, or microphone mute controls are included. The mic quality was surprisingly good in practice and the audio quality would be great for games, but not for music for any audiophi...

  • Comfortable, Superior sound quality, Decent microphone, retractable, 4H
  • Larger than the 3H, Not suitable for anything other than gaming
  • The fit is worlds apart with each model. The 3H was snug (maybe too tight for some) but the 4H was loose in comparison. There wasn’t an issue with either, but I came to favor the 4H because it had the ability to swivel, and the 3H was a little uncom...

  • To start off, I must admit I did not hold a great deal of hope for the 3H headset. I am glad to say, however, that after using it for a few days, I have grown very fond of them indeed. The two main reasons for this are firstly my love of bass, and secondl...

  • I think these are very good headphones. Because of their portability and size, I think many gamers will appreciate these headphones and how versatile these can be. Although they arent noise cancelling, the headphones cover your ear in a way that it...
