CES 2011: SteelSeries Spectrum 7XB Emerges

07 Jan, 2011, 2:03 am IST | by Avinash Bali | Headphones

At the ongoing CES 2011 in Las Vegas, Steel Series blew the lid off their latest gaming headset targeted specially at the Xbox360. The SteelSeries Spectrum 7XB will set you back by $150 which comes to roughly Rs. 6,800 and will allow players to connect the headset to their Xbox360 via USB, a 3.5mm jack and/or RCA. Powered by two AAA batteries it’ll allow you to game uninterrupted for nearly 20 hours. Impressive. In case you live in a rather big house that has tons of space between your seating arrangement and the TV, it won’t be a problem for the headset as it can operate up to 32 feet away from your console.

Blow your eardrums

And here are the rather technical specifications courtesy of IGN:
  • 4Mbit/s bandwidth for true "lossless" digital audio
  • 50mm drivers in the ear-cups with interchangeable leather or cloth ear-cushions
  • LiveMix: a quick button to help change the audio level for chat and in-game audio
  • ExactSND: a quick change equalizer function for different audio needs
  • A retractable uni-directional microphone for safe mic storage
