Introduction:
A little over a month ago we first reviewed the SteelSound 5H USB headset. This was a full headset with a built in mic and included mini USB sound card. The 5H proved to be a solid competitor in many areas, not only was it a full style headset with a built in mic, but it also came apart into three pieces for easy and safe transportation. However, SteelSeries just wasn't completely happy with this headset, as great as it was. After getting some input from gaming groups and end users, they decided to make it even better and re-released it as the SteelSound 5H V2 (V2 USB also available). Today we have the opportunity to test this new revision and tell you our thoughts on the changes they made.
