After a chase worthy of an epic 3-part movie spanning continents, I caught up with the new SteelSound 4H headphone, the simplified version of the enormously popular 5H series that still defines the affordable entry point for professional gaming equipment. Really sharp headphones fitted with a boom microphone obviously lend themselves to one particular genre of gaming, which is of course the First Person Shooter. Strategy games rarely require acute directional hearing, or the ability to immediately communicate firing positions or yell warnings. With this in mind the 5H series was designed with the fastest possible reaction times, a good sense of directional sound, and maximizing punchy sounds in the frequency most commonly produced in a Counter-Strike game.
