SteelSeries 9H with Dolby Technology
Delivering a tournament-grade audio experience, incredible digital features, and best-in-class comfort, the SteelSeries 9H with Dolby Technology is our best competitive gaming headset yet. Equipped with an advanced USB soundcard, the SteelSeries 9H provides users with Dolby technology, SteelSeries Engine support and much more.
Dolby Technology
The SteelSeries 9H when used with the included advanced USB soundcard features two Dolby technologies. Dolby Headphone allows up to 7.1 channels of realistic multi-channel surround sound. Dolby Prologic IIx can convert a simple stereo signal into a rich, surround sound experience. In addition, it can convert a true 5.1 signal in a full 7.1 surround experience allowing for multiple listening modes and a more realistic sound.
SteelSeries Audio
Building on the historic SteelSeries audio tradition, a custom-engineered soundscape features a wide dynamic range, which makes it possible for 9H to deliver a balanced and linear tournament-grade advantage.
Powerful, detailed audio experience via tournament grade, next generation SteelSeries audio drivers that feature a wide dynamic range that allows you to hear all levels of your audio: lows, mids, and highs. Our audio engineers custom-engineered the soundscape for the best possible gaming experience. Advanced components like high grade mylar film to further perfect the sound with added clarity and no distortion.
Retractable Microphone
The 9H features a retractable microphone system. Pull it out when you need it. Hide it in the left earcup when you dont.
SMART NOISE-CANCELLING MIC
When the SteelSeries 9H headset is plugged into its advanced USB sound card, it enables a noise cancellation microphone. When youre playing multiplayer, its more than just skill that will win you achievements, its communication that will help you dominate. To support that, the 9H headset features an active noise-cancelling, smart microphone that allows your team to hear you above whatever is happening in the area around you appliances, dogs barking, whining spouses, and more.

The microphones processor reduces the noise and focuses on the sound that is closer to the mic, your voice. The red/orange/yellow color on the depictions below represents the amount of processed input when using a microphone, and clearly shows the difference in processed sound between using a conventional microphone without noise-cancellation, and the active noise-cancelling microphone on the 9H headset.

Double Enclosure Design
The SteelSeries 9H features double enclosure technology. A second internal enclosure is sealed around the back of the speaker creating a closed design typically only found in high-end audio studio and DJ headphones. When coupled with the extra-padded, leather ear cushions it creates a level of noise isolation unlike any other headset in gaming.
Swappable cable ends
The ends of the 9H are swappable so that you can use your headset with PC, Mac, phones and tablets.
A mobile end with a single 3-pole 3.5mm jack and a PC cable with a 3.5mm headphone jack and a 3.5mm microphone jack have both been included.
In-line controls
The double braided cable gives the 9H increased durability and also features an integrated volume controller on the cord also offers a microphone mute switch, all for instant control without having to navigate through software settings.
Extended Comfort
Extra-padded, soft all-leather design provides extended comfort and passive noise reduction.
PLUG, PLAY, WIN
Theres no need to install software of any kind in order to use the SteelSeries 9H. It will operate flawlessly without the advanced USB soundcard. When used with the USB soundcard the 9H gains the support and advanced digital features of the SteelSeries Engine:
unlimited audio profiles capable of switching automatically when the game loads
10-band equalizer settings
mic noise cancellation
auto mic gain
and more
PERSONALIZE. EQUALIZE.
Lets face it, the way you hear the game is unique to the tones your hearing can pick up, and probably completely different than the next gamer, which is why SteelSeries provides 9H Headset users the ability to adjust, personalize and save all of their audio and equalizer settings. Save 8 equalizer settings for each of your game profiles.
