SteelSeries supply the 7H inside a box which is very similar to that of the Siberia V2. It carries an orange, gray and white livery and has a large plastic window in the front which will show the headset off in all its glory on the retail shelves. The front of the box also displays a few images of specific features of the 7H alongside some basic information about the headset.
Turning the box over reveals a plethora of further information about the headset in various different languages and two further product photos. Overall, the box is very well designed and should provide ample protection for the headset in transit.
Inside the box, SteelSeries include a number of different items. Aside from the headset and its detachable cable, an extension cable is also supplied and a different set of ear-pads (more on both of these later). There is also a small information guide which provides further information on other products in SteelSeries' range.
Looks like a good set of phones, if rather expensive compared to some competitors
Good review, attractive looking phones. Steelseries are quality.
Hell of a product from Steelseries – they are one of the gamers first choices on the market really even with hefty competition.
Unusual they would make two versions at such slightly different price points. no ?
good phones, I would never use them though 🙂
How many colours are they selling them in ?
Interesting and good review. I am not sure its worth selling my old Steelseries phones though, they are still great. might see how much I can get for them to get a cheap upgrade. but im not spending another 92 quid on these.
I wonder would it be worth selling my logitech phones to get a pair of these 🙁
Good review henry. Seems the wise option is to spend extra for the surround options.
Are these really worth the extra money when compared to the Arctic cooling headphones you reviewed last week?
@ Raymond, the difference in the prices is a result of adding an external USB sound card. Otherwise the headphones are identical.
@ Garry, The 7H is only available in black for the moment
@ Frank, Comared to the P531 the 7H is better built, and quite a lot lighter and more comfortable. The sound quality is also a bit better but it lacks proper surroundsound, even with the USB option.
Any chance to review Roccat Kave?
