The 3H and 4H headphones are to join the SteelSound ranks.

SteelSeries have been hard at working developing two new headphone models to add to their growing collection of gamer-related hardware. The two new headsets named SteelSound 3H and SteelSound 4H, have been developed, tested and approved in cooperation with leading professional gamers. These two new products are being hailed as the "spiritual successors" to the award-winning SteelSound 5H v2. (review)

Here's a bit of what SteelSeries had to say about their new hardware:

Where the SteelSound 5H v2 is targeted at FPS-gamers and optimized for in-game sound frequencies found in Counter-Strike and other popular First Person Shooters, the two new headsets have been optimized for a more all-round gaming experience. SteelSound 4H has been optimized for a multitude of game defining acoustics found in popular FPS and RTS games, while SteelSound 3H has been designed to enhance games that combine events and background music.

Both headsets feature the trademark SteelSound retractable microphone system. The retractable microphone is practically invisible when not in use and features a microphone boom covered in high quality transparent plastic to ensure long-lasting durability.

The new headsets are slated to be available in December at major retailers, distributors, and online stores, as well as the company's official website, which, incidentally, is also where you can get more information on the two new headphones.
