Packaging

The 9H came in a package that can only be described as signature SteelSeries styling. The top of the box is covered in bright orange along with the 9H logo on the front as well. The orange on the black catches your eye while the rest of the packaging is simple. You have a picture of the headset on the front and on the rear. All of information about the 9H is actually on the back broken down by its five key features. They also have a photo of part of the interface in the new SteelSeries Engine 3 as well.

Inside, beyond the headset itself, you get a small 9H guide and a SteelSeries sticker as well. For accessories you get all of your cable varieties. That includes the standard cable that plugs into the headset, an extension cable, a phone adapter, and a PC (mic and headphone plug) adapter. SteelSeries also includes the new USB sound card that the headset can plug into. This means you aren’t locked to any one option with the 9H. This is great for someone like me who might need to use USB on one PC for convenience but on other PC’s I want to hook directly up to a high quality audio card. Bundling in the mobile adapter is also great, most everyone has a cell phone or tablet that requires this if you want to use the headsets built in microphone as well.
