After all, being able to clearly hear as well as talk to your peers means better team coordination and enhanced enjoyment of the game. Like any other gaming peripheral, having good headsets will allow you to enjoy your gaming that much more. Luckily, there are plenty of choices in the gaming headsets market. One of which is the SteelSound 5H from renowned gaming gear company SteelSeries. SteelSeries SteelSound 5H headsets are available with or without a USB soundcard. In this review, I will be taking a look at the headsets with the sound card.</P> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/USB_Headsets/01.jpg"></a><a href="atruereview/USB_Headsets/01.jpg"><img src="atruereview/USB_Headsets/01th.jpg" width="250" height="247" border="0" alt="SteelSeries SteelSound 5H USB Headsets" title="SteelSeries SteelSound 5H USB Headsets"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><b>Packaging:</b></p> <p>SteelSeries' SteelSound 5H headsets come packaged in a clear plastic box in which the enclosed headsets can be clearly seen. </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/USB_Headsets/02.jpg"><img src="atruereview/USB_Headsets/02th.jpg" width="181" height="250" border="0" alt="SteelSeries SteelSound 5H USB Headsets" title="SteelSeries SteelSound 5H USB Headsets"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font></p> <p>The back of SteelSeries' package contains various information regarding the headsets, including a features list, specifications list, and brief info about the SteelSound 5H.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/USB_Headsets/03.jpg"><img src="atruereview/USB_Headsets/03th.jpg" width="218" height="250" border="0" alt="SteelSeries SteelSound 5H USB Headsets" title="SteelSeries SteelSound 5H USB Headsets"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p> Inside the clear box, the headset is held for display on a felt-lined plastic frame.
