The SteelSeries Spectrum 7XB is supplied in a thick cardboard box which should provide the headset with a good level of protection during transit. SteelSeries have opted for their standard black, orange and white colour scheme for the box which is decorated with a green and white band, eluding to the Xbox 360 compatibility of the headset within.
Unlike other boxes we've seen from SteelSeries, the front doesn't open up to reveal the headset inside. Instead, there is a large image of the headset on the front of the box as well as a small window at the right which gives a peek at the unit within. Turning the box over reveals details of the headset's features and specification in various different languages. There are also some pictures and diagrams which illustrate some of the more exciting features of the headset.
Inside the box, we find a comprehensive bundle included alongside the headset. The most significant included item is the wireless receiver unit which is supplied with a 3.5mm audio cable and an RCA splitter for connecting to a TV or PC. There is also a cable included for connecting the headset to the Xbox controller, to enable in-game chat.
We also find all the usual items including a SteelSeries product catalogue, a quick start guide (which details the installation procedure) and a couple of SteelSeries stickers for your PC or Xbox 360. SteelSeries also include a pair of AAA batteries to power the headset.
Looks fantastic IMO. lovely styling, very traditional.
That price however is insane. Can get an audiophile headset for that price, or close to it.
Great products. ive just ordered a mouse from them 🙂 expensive but quality
big steelseries fan here, recently been getting into Razer more. they seem to do a lot of crossover products for gamers. competitive battles are good for consumers.
Dont see Steelseries really being too concerned. I agree, this is about £30 too high in price IMO.
I have an ikari mouse and I love it. My only concern with steelseries is their pricing. It seems to be going up all the time. They aren’t Apple.
150 euros? thats as much as I paid for my console. ill aim lower, probably wont get something as good, but I cant justify this. looks good too. shame.
I dont mind paying more for steelseries. I own one of their headsets and it still looks new, even after 1 year of hard gaming all days. I do agree though ive been reading some of their reviews lately and I cant get my head around some of the pricing
