SteelSeries Spectrum 7xb – Because Superb Sound Matters

When you’re playing your favorite PC or XBOX 360 titles with a so and so and audio quality that “just would do”, then you might as well play with a one hand tied behind your back while riding a mechanical bull. Yes, that’s how bad the handicap is. To even the playing field or even get that extra edge, lend your ears to the new SteelSeries Spectrum 7xb wireless gaming headset. It showcases some of SteelSeries distinct features like swappable earcups, retractable microphone system and a nifty collapsible design for travelling. SteelSeries also added a few treats like XBOX Live support, auto balance of in-game audio and chat volume and couple of buttons and pre-configured sound settings.

The Spectrum 7xb is powered by 50mm drivers that deliver every audio detail from environmental sound, whispers, footsteps, gunshot, grenade blasts to in-game communications and soundtrack loud and clear. It operates on a wireless 4Mbit/s bandwidth for true lossless digital sound. The 7xb is specially designed to prevent interference from other devices by smart frequency hopping up to 344 times/second for that undistorted audio quality. This headphone has a range of 9 meters and easily connects to any XBOX 360. There’s a smart LED to notify when the headset is connected and up to four SteelSeries Spectrum can used with a TV or Xbox 360 simultaneously.

There are 5 buttons on the left earcups which gamers can use to turn the device on and off, adjust volume, activate LiveMix and set ExactSND. LiveMix balances and mixes Xbox LIVE chat and game audio to improve communication even under heavy gunfire. ExactSND provides pre-set equalizer configurations that can be used to enhance surround sound, environmental sound, and entertainment experience.
