SteelSeries 5H v2 is one of the most popular gaming headsets on the planet. This headset has been used by talented gamers to win major international events like Electronic Sports World Cup, World e-Sport Games, World Series of Video Games, Kode 5, World Cyber Games, Samsung Euro Championship, ESL Extreme Masters and many others.When wearing the SteelSeries 5H v2 you'll immediately notice the enormous full-size ear cushions which gently fit around your ears and reduce background noise. The comfort is something that has to be experienced first hand, either at a friends house or at one of the many LAN-centers and Internet cafes that offers the headset to their customers.The headset features a custom-engineered soundscape designed to enhance performance and immersion in FPS-games. This headset was developed and optimized specifically for in-game sound frequencies found in the most popular shooters - making in-game sounds like footsteps, alerts and gunfire especially clear. You will be able to hear and pinpoint the location of your opponents, often before they hear you.The SteelSeries 5H v2 can easily be dismantled into 3 separate parts that easily fit into a bag or a carrying case. This makes transportation of the headset both easy and safe. The pull-out microphone is practically invisible when not in use.

Summary: Perfect Gaming Headset
Comment: If you are looking for a gaming headset that has a great microphone and is extremely comfortable for long sessions this one is for you. Solid construction and build quality. I would not suggest looking at anything other than this...
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Adequate for gaming
Comment: I always use headphones when at my home computer (which is a lot). When I'm gaming I also use a cheap mic. I was looking for a solution to avoid two cords dangling from my head and getting tangled up, while still getting good performance from both devices. While the 5Hv2 solved my problems with cords, the sound just wasn't quite good enough.
The mid-tones are well defined and clear, the highs are okay if perhaps not sharp enough, but the bass tones were a real let down. I have no taste at all for cans with sloppy overdriven bass, but these just sounded flat.
I didn't keep these long enough to really speak to comfort but they seemed alright. There were just little tight and the padding a bit harder and narrower than I'm used to, but I was able to wear them for a couple hours without discomfort.
These headphone should be adequate for most people gaming with them, or those who only use their headphones when they can't use regular speakers. The sound is better than some other integrated headset/mics I've used, and I really like how the retractable mic works.
I'm no audiophile, but sound quality dose matter to me, and I use my headphone a lot. If your like me, especially if you ever listen to music at all, you'll want something better, even if your still being strangled by all the cords hanging from your head.

Summary: Great for Gaming
Comment: I bought these to replace a broken pair of 4H's.
These have the same sound as those, so if you're looking for something cheaper, get those. I bought these because I needed to take these apart because I move them around a lot, and I needed the braided high-quality cables because they're abused by other people.
As some other people on the internet have noted, this headset is geared towards gamers with its custom high-treble soundscape (for bullets and footsteps, which are very noticeable), so if you're more than an occasional music listener, these might not be too good for you. I hardly ever listen to music, so this wasn't a problem for me.

Summary: Great Quality Headphones!!
Comment: Let me start by saying I have a big Head - Fitted caps give me a headache after 5 minutes IF I can find one that fits my head. That being said these headphones fit me great and seem to be very good sound quality. The microphone seems to perform well (I've had no complaints from my cohorts)
Overall a great headset, especially for the price.
