SteelSeries is launching a pair of new gaming headsets to that will make anyone looking for some serious gaming sound very happy. The most exciting of the two is a USB model, the 7H-USB that promises a virtual 7.1 surround sound environment via its on-board sound card. The 50mm drivers should push more clear highs and deep bass than most other comparably priced gaming headsets. The USB sound card insures that traveling gamers are able to change machines without sacrificing sound quality. The 7H-USB headset also packs a hideaway microphone, easily retracted when not in use. Interesting, it is powered by a standard microUSB connection so no fussing with any custom cables. This same connection now powers most cell phones so you should have one lying around already. They also include an extra set of ear cups. The foam set is for casual listening while the leather version provides a tighter seal and isolates sounds for interruption free gaming.

The 7H-USB USB sound card will work perfectly for both PCs and Mac but has been targeted at gamers of independent of platform. Profiles exist for MMO’s and FPS’s which are suited to the special requirements that each have. SteelSeries has also made transporting these easier than other devices of the same size. Besides being able to tuck away the microphone, this large headset breaks down into 4 manageable pieces. The release date hasn’t been solidified but there’s already a pre-order link at Amazon so it can’t be far off. The USB version costs $30 more than its analog cousin at $149.
