Manufacturer & Sponsor: Steel Series
Street Price: £164.99
SteelSeries are regarded by many as the World’s leading gaming peripherals brand. With products ranging from gaming glasses to mechanical keyboards, SteelSeries cover all the bases when it comes to professional gaming. Here at Vortez, we’ve had several SteelSeries products in to review, with the most recent being the 7H iPhone edition headset. Today, we will be reviewing the very familiar looking Xbox edition version of the 7H - the Spectrum 7XB Wireless headset, which is the second Xbox orientated headset released by SteelSeries, with the first being the 5XB.
There are currently 2 predecessors to the 7XB, the original 7H and the “iPhone” edition, both have previously been reviewed here at Vortez.net, with both getting mixed reviews. With a good base to go from, lets see if integrating Xbox compatibility and wireless technology into the 7XB can justify the high price.
This is what SteelSeries say about the 7XB:
