Gamers hate lag, and many of them think that it goes hand-in-hand with wireless peripherals. So when SteelSeries stepped-up with its H Wireless headset, it was hard to not take notice given the company’s passion for gaming and eSports. With a unit in the lab, let’s find out if it’s actually possible to have a gaming-worthy wireless headset.
Keeping the conclusion of a review short can sometimes be hard to do, especially when the product is as amazing as the H Wireless, but I’ll do my best.
To say that the H Wireless impressed me is like saying that the Leaning Tower of Pisa is slightly askew. That thing is slanty as hell, and the H Wireless is absolutely incredible. Whether watching movies, listening to music, or playing games, there’s just so much to like about the headset. The sound is rich and full even when being upscaled from a less than perfect source, the lows, mids and highs are crystal clear allowing for even minute details to be picked out, and positional audio while gaming is just as good as similar priced headsets with dedicated audio drivers that I’ve tested in the past.
The recording capabilities of the microphone are fantastic, as is the battery life, and the range should be more than enough for most users. With a second battery sitting in the integrated charger, there should be no need to plug in the H Wireless directly, although I appreciate that SteelSeries has given users that option.
