英語レビュー by Dev Hardware (Rating: 9/10 - GOLD Award)
“このヘッドセットは私たちにとって見事なパフォーマンスをはっきしてくれる。そう、このヘッドセットは素晴らしいのだ。私の使い方をベースに、私はこの製品に10点中9点とDev hardware GOLD Awaradを授与しようと思う。価格は少し高いもののオーディオマニアやハードコアゲーマーでサウンドに気を使う人とっては買って損のない製品と言える。”
“This headset performed admirably across the board. Yeah, this headset is awesome. Based on my usage, I give the product a score of 9 out of 10, and the Dev Hardware GOLD Award. The price is a little high, but for a true audiophile or even a hardcore gamer who really cares about sound, it’s definitely worth every penny.”
英語レビュー by APH networks (Rating: APH Recommended)
“SteelSound 5Hにて物足りなかった部分を見事に補った改良である。まず最初に快適性においてマイナーチェンジに見えるイヤーカップに対する改良は、確かに違いを生み出している。現在までに限られた製品しか得られなかった上に、私たちも長らく与える機会のなかったAPH Recommendedを与えるのに申し分ない製品といえる。私たちはAPH RecommendedをSteelSound 5Hにも与えたがこれをそのままSteelSound 5H v2にも与えたいと思う。もしあなたがしっかりとしたゲーミングヘッドフォンをお探しで、音楽用途に使うつもりがないのであれば、SteelSound 5H v2以上の物は見つからないだろう。”
“It’s a good follow up improvement over the original SteelSound 5H that fills in some of the gaps the previous version missed out on. First of all, it completes what the SteelSound 5H is missing on — comfort. With such seemingly minor changes, the difference is there, along with the padding around each cup, creates decently comfortable gaming headphones. There are not a lot of products that gets an APH Recommended, and we haven’t handed out such an award for quite a while now. In this case, however, this product is well deserving of this award; we’ll take the APH Recommended from its predecessor SteelSound 5H and hand it down to SteelSeries’ SteelSound 5H V2. If you are looking for a pair of decent gaming headphones, and music is not what you are using it for, look no further than the SteelSound 5H V2.”

“SteelSeriesはSteelSound 5Hが招いた問題を直視し、それに対する改良の必要性を感じたのち、再度図面と向き合う事で彼らは5Hの全てのアスペクトを改善した。彼らは真に素晴らしい製品を生み出したのだ。収納可能なマイク、布巻きコード、優れた快適性、そして見事な音質。5H v2は容易にゲーミングヘッドセットの高みにたどり着いた。SteelSeriesはこの製品で見事なカムバックを果たし、私は高品質なゲーミングヘッドセットを求めている全ての人にこのヘッドセットを勧めたい。ThinkComputersはSteelSound 5H v2に10点中10点を与え、私たちのRecommended Awardを与える。”

“I think yet again SteelSeries have made an outstanding product. The have learned from their mistakes and have really though about ways to improve and already quality product. This has to be on your list of considerations when choosing your next headset for your computer. It is definately a good choice for any gamer out there.”
“またしてもSteelSeriesが突出した製品を作り上げてくれたと感じている。彼らは彼ら自身の間違いから学び、どうやって既に品質の高い製品を改善するかを真剣に考えたのだ。このヘッドセットはもしPC用のヘッドセットをお探しであれば必ずリストに加えて欲しい。ゲーマーにとっては絶対に良いチョイスと言える。”

“I tried these headphones out in Call of Duty 2 and Quake 4, and the difference was immediately apparent. In games such as this, a lot of the audio gets jumbled up in the action. The 5H2 not only makes it easier to hear individual elements, but often to also hear from where those elements are coming. Sniper shots, for example, are easier to pinpoint, so you don’t have to actually get hit to determine from where the bullets are coming.”
“私はこのヘッドフォンをCall of Duty 2とQuake 4で試してみた。違いはすぐに明確な物となった。とくに両タイトルのようなゲームではサウンドはアクションの中にごた混ぜになってしまう、5H v2を使う事で一つ一つの音の要素を聞き取り易くなるだけではなく、その音がどこから来ているのかが聞こえ易くなるのだ。スナイパーを例にとって説明すると、スナイパーが撃ってきた位置を把握する事ができるので、実際に撃たれなくともどこにスナイパーがいるかを把握する事が出来るのだ。”

“The SteelSound 5H V2 headphones from SteelSeries is definitely a solid offering, and does posses several unique characteristics. Most notably, these headphones can disassemble into three parts to safely and easily stow away while transporting gaming gear. Secondly, we were very appreciative of the microphone design found on the SteelSound 5H V2.”
“SteelSeriesが作り出したSteelSound 5H v2は確実に信頼のできる製品である、しかもたくさんのユニークな機能も備え持っている。特筆すべき点は、このヘッドフォンは3つのパーツに分解し安全かつ簡単に持ち運びができるという事だ。2つめに感謝に値するマイクのデザインである。”

“Overall though the Steelsound headphones do what they say they will do: provide an unrivalled experience in online shooters. My feeling is that if you want the ultimate setup for an online shooter you won’t be able to get better than this (without spending ludicrous amounts of money). The series also has another model, which comes with a built in sound card. We didn’t get to test these but were told that although the sound card isn’t the best on the market, it provides a consistent sound - an absolute must for gamers who play a lot at LANs.”

“I used these units for 2 weeks before writing this review and I must say I am rather impressed; they have a nice array of features with a great sounding microphone and nice audio reproduction. SteelSeries once again haven’t disappointed and I expect these units to be quite popular.”

“This is a solid gaming headset that’s stylish and well designed. The only downside would have to be the price. At £47.00, there’s a lot of competition from some well respected brands in this area. That said, if you’re looking for a headset to give you an edge when playing your favourite online game, SteelSound’s 5H v2 is worth considering.”

“SteelSeries took a great product with the SteelSound 5H v1, listened to user feedback, and crafted a preverbal masterpiece in the SteelSound 5H v2. Most of the improvements (a bit larger ear cups, a longer microphone boom, better cable sheathing, among some) are only slight when gauged alone, but when put together create a much better product than the almost perfect original.”

“The SteelSound 5H V2 headsets are definitely a major improvement over the original, perfected to make a much better pair of headsets.”

“..the SteelSeries SteelSound 5H v2 is a high-quality and solid performing gaming headset that should satisfy the most discriminating gamers yet also please those looking for a decent set of headphones. The headset is comfortable to wear for long periods of times, and the retractable microphone is a handy feature.”
