Steelsound 5H Version 2

     I work odd hours.  I usually don't get home from work until after the kids are already in bed.  The one thing that helps me shake off the work day and start unwinding is a few rounds of Call of Duty 2.  It's very hard to get into a first person shooter with the volume of the speakers turned way down.  I need to hear those footsteps coming so I can be ready.  A nice pair of gaming headsets should do the trick.  I can game as loud as I want and I'm not going to wake the family.  At least the sound of the game won't wake them, I tend to taunt the screen when I'm winning.  Luckily for my family that doesn't happen often.  The gamers at ATF are pretty tough.  Steelseries sent over the new Steelsound 5H V2 gaming headsets and I'm anxious to see how they sound.

Packaging and Contents

The package is pretty much what you would expect.  I think with headsets you need a clear box so you can see exactly what you are getting.

Everything you need to get going is included.  The headset comes with a 3.5 foot cord, but includes an extension cord that will extend it all the way out to 10 feet.
