Conclusion

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 will only be used for gaming, and perhaps a little bit of light music listening then the 5H v2 is for you. However, if you are used to deep bass and listen to a lot of music, then these headphones are not going to be up for the job.

Steelseries have done an admiral job in enhancing their already well-known headset, but they have failed to change the sound quality, which is where I feel that the 5H v2 falls down.
