AND IT SOUNDS GREAT With the custom-built soundscape via 40mm SunDancer (SCS) units, you are able to pinpoint the direction of noises and movement throughout the game. Whether it’s gunfire, music, or even the sound of someone getting pwned to pieces, the sound is incredible. But they do more than just make games sound great, they help you win. You’ll hear everything worth hearing.
THE STEELSERIES AUDIOMIXER The SteelSeries Spectrum AudioMixer connects the SteelSeries Spectrum 5xb to the Xbox 360 and provides independent audio and voice volume controls. You’ll have the same level of control over your controller as you’ve always had; AudioMixer doesn’t interfere with normal operations in any way. Now you have independent volume controls, microphone controls and access to LiveMix, all within your thumbs reach.
STEELSERIES LIVEMIX SteelSeries LiveMix offers you a quick-button option to improve the balance of Xbox LIVE chat and in-game audio, so that voice communication is mixed and amplified over the sounds of gunfire and explosions. SteelSeries LiveMix allows you to hear everything that matters in team-based games; you simply click one button to activate this feature. It will balance the levels between Xbox LIVE chat and in-game audio on-the-fly, as the game develops around you, making it easier than ever before for you to hear your teammates. Best of all, LiveMix works without having to increase the volume of the headset and risk headaches or hearing damage.
PORTABLE, AND EXTREMELY DURABLE Going somewhere? No problem. The SteelSeries Spectrum 5xb can be dismantled into 3 separate pieces. This makes transporting your headsets easy and safe. The headset also features a durable, double-braided nylon cord. It’s so durable that maybe only household cats with seriously sharp teeth can destroy it.
HIDDEN MICROPHONE SYSTEM The SteelSeries signature retractable microphone system is also featured in the Spectrum 5xb, providing additional convenience and durability. The microphone is unidirectional and delivers clear voice communication for Xbox LIVE. Everyone will hear you loud and clear - unless you choose to mute; it’s up to you.

dilly 6/9/2012 7:54:22 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5 Pros: Great audio and microphone when working. Cons: When it works it's awesome. The problem is that it failed twice in 6 months. First time the headset second the audio mixer. Steelseries support is very good, it's covered for a year. The only problem is you have to pay for shipping to them every time. This will be the last headset I buy from them. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

N/A 10/21/2011 1:28:28 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5Nice "concept" Pros: Light, this headset is extremely light. Mic, retractable in ear cup is very handy and convenient. Sound gets loud, very loud. Ability to break down mic for transport is nice. Cons: Cord from mic to mixer is way to short. Mixer doesn't fit to controller snugly. Makes humming noise that never goes away. Live mix cuts too much game sound out when people speak making it extremely hard to hear anything in game. Mixer concept and live mix are good IDEAS! However they were not completed and properly tested here. Should have not been released with these problems. Other Thoughts: It's a steel series!!! With my personal experiences with them I'm not pleased (mouse and headset). Both are cheap plastic that look good unboxing, yet lack quality and malfunction soon after use. Will NEVER buy another steel series product, they are just made so cheap! Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

MP 3/25/2011 8:56:00 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great gaming headset often overlooked Pros: Great sound(stereo not surround) comfortable even after several hours of use can take a beating(I dont abuse my headset, but it shows no signs of wear n tear). microphone slides into headset for more compact use, like listening to music. cost Cons: wires!!! Yeah its to be expected when it comes to these headsets. Other Thoughts: I got this for playing on the xbox 360. Love them! When I went looking most of the B&M stores only carried trittons and turtlebeach. While those are fine, I wanted something different. Did you find this review helpful?
