SteelSeries Fnatic 7H Headphones Review (Limited Edition)

The Fnatic 7H are a very stylish looking set of headphones with a black, orange, and white contrasting color scheme. The other available SteelSeries Fnatic products also use the same color combination which has proven to be very eye catching and popular. The design of the ear cups are referred to as closed style. Because they surround the entire ear, they reduce ambient noise levels when gaming. The reduction in noise allows the gamer to better focus on directional sounds which can help locate in game enemies.

The Fnatic 7H also have a retractable microphone that can be used to communicate with teammates during online gaming sessions or it can be used with other applications that make use of VOIP technology. When you are not using the microphone it can be retracted into the ear cup and stored out of the way.

The Steelseries Fnatic 7H are simple to break down for traveling which is something we can really appreciate. To break the set down we just press on a small button on the inside panel of each ear piece allowing them to disconnect from the headband.

The cushioned pads are easily removed if we ever feel the need to change them. When we replace the ear pads, there are markings on the headset that show exactly how the replacements would have to line up.

The replacement set of ear cushions that come with the Fnatic 7H are all black unlike the original bright orange set. One feature that caught our eye when testing the Fnatic 7H is the detachable cord. It simply needs to be unplugged from the ear piece which makes looking after the cord much easier when it's time to travel.

It is our opinion that this feature could extend the life of the headset. In the past we have noticed that the area where where the cable connects to the ear pieces is one of the most common areas of failure with a headset.

The cord is actually made up of 2 separate sections. The portion that connects to the headset includes an inline switch to control the volume levels of the headset and microphone. If you only want a short cable length this section would be all that is required to make the headset operational.

The 2nd part of the cord is basically just an extension for those of us that don't like being restricted by a short cable while wearing a headset.

We like the fact that if we were to step on the cord or get wrapped around something, the cord disconnects itself from the headset. This could prevent damage to the cord because its not permanently attached to the ear piece.
