STEELSERIES 5HV2 USB SOUND CARD OVER HEATING INSTALL
I'd never purchase another set of Steelseriest until they get a different/stronger in-line controller OR just not install it at all.īass? I don't know about that. Warranty is over, but it's not worth of spending 120dollar on the headset that only lasts 1~2years. Those controllers were so sensitive that I've taped them on the back of my monitor where nothing would be in contact with the controller. Only way to "fix" was to scroll and play around with the in-line volume control. It worked fine for a couple of months until the controller became static and kept on losing sound either on the left or right ear pieces. ALL 3 of these had SAME problems with in-line volume/mic. long cables made it easy for me to move around the desk.Ĭons: I've purchased the first set on, replacement in 2009, and got the last replacement in 2011. Pros: Nice mic(+1 to retractable), really comfortable, worked pretty well when it worked for over years. Don't do it-it's not worth the frustration or money you spend when there are far better options out there But I gave SteelSound a chance and I loved how they sounded/looked so much that I went back again and again. I know I didn't have bad luck with THREE PAIRS of this headset. Sometimes you can get the sound right by bending the cheap nylon cord just right, but you can tell that SteelSound manufacturer's these with cheap parts. Overall Review: Slowly over time, after having to adjust the metal connector to the USB port or 3.5mm jack in getting your sound right in one of the headphones, the other one will go out. If you move at all, you'll lose sound again in one of the head phones and have to adjust it again-such a hassle. First you'll lose audio in one of the earpieces and have to twist it or slightly pull it out of the USB connector to get proper sound to come out of it. It might last anywhere from six months, but no longer. The 3.5mm connector that connects to the USB port will go out over time. The price you're thinking about paying for these-over $100, should give you some easy of mind knowing that they would be durable. The nylon cable is not very sturdy-the material is cheap and if you don't take perfect care of them, you'll notice considerable wear over time. The nylon cable that comes with the headset easily frays over time - the longest of the three pairs i've ever owned lasted about six months. ALL THREE PAIRS experienced the same issues you read from other people giving reviews. I bought them because they looked great, had what I needed (USB, as my 3.55mm jack was faulty on my mobo) and SteelSound had a decent reputation for making good audio equipment and other gear in the gaming community.Ĭons: I can't express how much displeasure i've had with these headphones.
