SteelSeries H Wireless

[mudcakez]

Hey guys so I'm thinking of getting the SteelSeries H Wireless headphones. I am currently using Sennheiser HD518s and a random Logitech headset around my neck for the mic (you can imagine how annoying this is). I will be using it for watching movies and playing games on PC and Xbone. I normally watch movies/play xbone from my bed and the cable on my 518s are just the perfect length so a wireless solution would be much better.

 

I would like to know if anyone has first hand experience on the sound quality of both headphones. As I am no audiophile, if the SteelSeries are anything close to the 518s I am happy. Probably the most important thing though, is the fact that I have weird shaped ears and the only headphones that have ever fit me comfortably are the Sennheisers. So again, if anyone has experience with them both I would love to hear your experience. I don't want to spend $300 on a set that will end up in my closet because they aren't comfy. 

 

Cheers.

If it's the perfect length, why spend nearly 4x the dough just for wireless? I'm confoosid.

Well you could get a modmic and a astro mix smp to make them compatible for only 150$ or so, or you could get cable extentions as the mic om the h wireless is fairly bad

It's just irritating having the cable there, I can't move at all. I've already bent the 3.5mm jack by accidentally tugging it while it was plugged in. Also I've been wanting wireless headphones for a while and now that I have an xbone it just makes sense to get a pair that will work easily with pc and xbone. 

 

Thanks for that link also.

I'd rather just spend the extra $100 and get the wireless functionality out of it haha. 

 

Thanks for the input guys, not going to make a decision right away. Just wanted some opinions.

So, the cable is clearly not the perfect length, then. I'd get an extension for $5 or whatever and call it good. Spend your Benjamins on an SSD or several Minecraft Ghast plushies.

i will agree with this very largly, if your going to go wireless then get corsair v2100 or logitech g930

I will warn you, that if the steelseries wireless have the same earcups as their 7H version, any odd shaped ears are not in for a good time. Unfortunately i can't say much about the wireless' quality from personal experience, but if your no audiophile judging from sound quality comparisons from their 9H and their wireless it would likely sound fine.
