Good day, colleagues. I would like to present two videos that I recently reviewed for SteelSeries products. I found them to be of exceptional quality.

FREE (wireless remote controller)

If you remember the Zeemote, and you enjoyed how you could play in a cool way, then  you’ll  love the FREE remote.

This remote control is an excellent example of an innovative and user-friendly device. Similar to the Zeemote, it connects to a mobile device via Bluetooth, and the setup process is relatively straightforward. The Zeemote driver application was already installed on my device, and it functioned without any issues. In the event that the SteelSeries Engine application is not already installed, it can be installed by following the instructions provided.

The device is superior to the JS1 in that it features a dual-axis controller and the standard eight-way directional pad reminiscent of those found on Nintendo gaming systems. Additionally, three supplementary buttons are available for use. For those with prior experience using a PlayStation, the remote is relatively straightforward to operate. The most significant improvement of this device over its predecessor is the inclusion of a rechargeable battery. The device can remain operational for over ten hours before requiring recharging via microUSB. That is an impressive feature. Furthermore, users are not required to concern themselves with the issue of battery depletion, and the device’s operational lifespan is significantly extended. Additionally, an additional USB cable is provided, offering the potential for use in other contexts. It is interesting to note that…

Furthermore, the device is furnished with a carrying case. This product is of an exemplary standard. The company in question exhibits a commendable degree of attention to detail.

Similarly, a select group of games is compatible with the JS1. A comprehensive list of compatible games can be found on the company website.

It functions quite well, and in a highly satisfactory manner. The device is somewhat diminutive, yet users should encounter no difficulties in employing it correctly. The sensitivity of the device can be adjusted in accordance with the specifications of the application in use.

It would be advantageous if a greater number of applications could be utilized with it. I have attempted to utilize the BluezIME program, as recommended by Tom for the initial Zeemote device. However, even this solution has proven inadequate for certain applications. Such is life. It is an excellent remote control device.

The video footage of the device in use can be found here.

It should be noted that a further discovery was made subsequent to the creation of the video. Additionally, the controller can be utilized to navigate within the context of the user’s typical applications. The buttons labeled “1/2” serve the function of “action/click,” while the buttons labeled “3/4” serve the function of “back.” Upon loading the Maps application, the left controller was found to be effective in scrolling the user’s view. This is a rather ingenious feature. On the desktop, the controller can be used to move around like a cursor, highlighting different icons.

FLUX (headphones)

The flavor profile of these confections is characterized by a sweetness that is appealing to the palate. I was unprepared for the arrival of these items in the review unit from the company. Nevertheless, I am not inclined to express any discontent. Upon initial observation, the items did not elicit a particularly favorable impression. However, as one removes them from their packaging, one becomes aware of the meticulous manner in which they have been assembled, which serves to indicate their superior quality. In my estimation, the quality is exceptionally high. As a purveyor of “professional gaming gear,” the company is expected to maintain the highest standards.

In addition to the instruction manual, the headphones are equipped with two types of connectors, a feature that is noteworthy in and of itself. It is, in my estimation, an ingenious design feature, and it is to be hoped that more headphones of a similar quality will be manufactured with this feature. A connection is provided at the base of the apparatus for the purpose of connecting an m2m cable. In any case,

The initial cable is a conventional mobile cable. The device can be connected to any audio player via the provided cable, which is compatible with standard headphone slots. In the event that the device in question is a telephone, the small component situated adjacent to the connector serves the function of a microphone and is equipped with a button that allows the user to either commence or pause the playback of audio, or to switch tracks (a double press of the button is required). This is standard practice.

The second cable is intended for use with a computer. As a “gaming set,” it is designed for serious gaming, which is typically conducted more frequently on a desktop computer. To facilitate this functionality, the cable is bifurcated into a headphone jack and a microphone jack.

It functions exceptionally well for video calls. (It is our intention to establish a regular meeting on Friday nights at 11 p.m. EST.)

The drivers have a substantial and satisfying weight to them. The pads are of a soft texture and do not have the same plastic-leathery feel that becomes uncomfortable after extended periods of use. The devices are readily adjustable and possess sufficient strength to prevent them from breaking.

Subsequently, one will activate the device. The ensuing experience can be described as nothing short of astonishing. The visual field is unobstructed. The device is uncluttered and produces excellent sound. I consider myself to be something of an audiophile, having previously engaged in the sale of audio equipment. I purchased a DVD-Audio player with the expectation that it would produce a superior audio experience.

THE NUMBERS

Headphones

• Frequency response: 18 – 28000 Hz
• Impedance: 29 Ohm
• SPL@ 1kHz, 1 Vrms: 118 dB
• Cable length: 2m
• Jacks: 3.5 mm

Microphone

• Frequency response: 50 – 16000 Hz
• Pick up pattern: Omni-directional
• Sensitivity: -38 dB

It is, in fact, an excellent piece of work. I would be inclined to create a video demonstration, however, it is not possible to effectively convey the necessary information in this format. Moreover, a plethora of reviews on the subject are readily available.

Additionally, it is notable that the set features two connectors on the bottom of the phones. One might inquire as to the rationale behind the inclusion of two connectors. Does the order of connection have any consequence? It is not necessary to plug two devices in simultaneously (i.e., a mobile phone and a computer). The purpose of this feature is to allow users to share audio content with their friends. If a user is listening to a piece of music or another audio file that they enjoy, their friends can connect their headphones to the second port on the device and listen to the same audio through the user’s headphones. This is an extremely innovative and impressive feature.

I have sold a considerable number of dual adapters over the course of my career. This effectively addresses all of the aforementioned issues. Additionally, the headphones can be customized with different colored plates over the drivers (depicted in the image as the black circle; they are magnetically attached to it), and various colored cables are also available.

Therefore, it is recommended that you procure one today. The expenditure is justified by the benefits gained.
