CES 2012: Introducing the Multi-Device and Travel-Friendly SteelSeries Flux

Haven’t quite had your fill of tech news yet? We didn’t think so. Continuing their slew of announcements, SteelSeries are proud to bring you another fantastic headset – this time with more everyday use in mind.

Today SteelSeries introduced the Flux Headset, a new line that’s compatible with all PC, Macs and Mobile devices. The Flux features brand new on-ear mesh cloth cushions that make strong use of the 40mm driver units to produce impressive levels of sounds. The headset also comes with a choice of cable connections; either an inline, uni-directional microphone with mute control for the PC or a standard 3.5mm jack for Mac and Mobile devices. These consumer friendly, travel-optimized headsets feature inward folding earcups for compact storage and maximum comfort on the go.

[quote]“We work with professional gamers that travel often to tournaments and events, but we also cater to users that want headset compatibility for more than just gaming, which is where the design of the Flux began. This headset is meant to be more about the user, versus just another audio option – we brought together color and plate design options with the versatility of being able to plug in and use the audio and microphone with any device. If you play games on your PC, you most likely also listen to music and make calls, and you want a headset that will allow you adapt.” – said Bruce Hawver, SteelSeries CEO.[/quote]

The SteelSeries Flux factors in convenience for the user by including 2 input jacks – one on each side, which allows for two user options: to choose which side the microphone cable can be plugged into, and the ability to “daisy chain” or plug in another headset to the Flux which allows for multiple users to listen to the same device. Customization of the SteelSeries Flux headset will provide users with the ability to order various outer plates with different colors and designs as well as various colored cushions.

The SteelSeries FLux will be available Summer 2012 with prices to be announced closer to its release window.
