CES 2011: Steelseries Meeting and 7H Headset Notes

I met with Steelseries while at CES 2011, in particular, Kim Rom. We didn’t really talk about their new products though I did check out the new 7H wireless headset which is amazingly flexible and light and offers 20 hours of play time on a charge. It’s set for late April, 2011.

Kim is a true gamer in every sense of the word and we hit it off right away chatting about a variety of things. I could see, in speaking with him, why Steelseries gear is as cool as it is. They are basically making stuff that they would want to use, then getting feedback from the community and making it the best it can be.

Kim and I chatted for almost an hour which meant that we sort of screwed up his schedule a bit, but it was time well spent. If everyone at Steelseries is as passionate about gaming and gaming gear as he is, well, let’s just say that we can expect to see a continuous stream of awesome products for years to come.

The headset? It’s pretty awesome features the ability to be broken down for travel and storage, a retractable boom mic and awesome sound deadening capabilities. So good in fact that I couldn’t hear a single word Kim said to me when I had them on and he was only a couple feet away from me. Very well done indeed.
