If you're looking for a solid headset for gaming, the Luxury Edition of the SteelSeries Flux is a good investment. It could use some refinement though, especially when it comes to padding under the...

After using the SteelSeries Flux in-ear headset I found them to be a pretty good all round set of headphones. The audio quality was pretty good for most of the tests and the ear buds were actually really comfortable. The in line microphone controls were...

I tested these new versatile on-ear headphones with inline microphone against four different under-$200 on-ear competitors. Each of the two more expensive headsets has slightly superior music playback audio than does Flux, but both of them are far...

Rarely do we find a pair of cans that can do everything that we want it to, and do it well. Audiophiles flood the forums arguing which pair of headphones are the best and probably grimace at the simple mention of a pair of crap quality headphones. We...

The Steelseries Flux headset is an excellent travel headset and a very good, Jack-of-all-trades product. It's great for hauling around to LAN parties, and if you often find yourself with a fellow traveler watching DVDs on a plane, the compact design and...

Most of us love to try things that are way out of our price range, just to see how much of a benefit there is to spending a hill of cash as opposed to something affordable. We're all striving for the eternal balance of good value, getting the best...

I have to say it, fluxing brilliantJust recently, Steelseries has made a big play for the mobile market with the release if its Freedom to Play series of products. This includes controllers, little sticky buttons for touch screens and a couple of...

The first example of this was Apple's earbuds, the iconic white earphone that shipped with the first iPod in 2001 right up to the introduction of Apple's EarPods in 2012. Though the EarPods were a huge improvement over the original earbuds, they still...

All in all I think the Steelseries Flux In Ear headphones are a pretty good set of earbuds. Most of the complaints I had with them were less about what they are capable of and more about how they failed to live up to the standards that the Pro edition...

All and all I must say that I am pleasantly surprised. I would have never imagined that I would find myself falling in love with a pair of earbuds with a $100+ cost, but I have. The inclusion of the Comply Foam Tips is probably the single biggest pro....

I’m afraid I must report that to this reviewer, the Flux appears to be far more weighted in the style camp than any other. It has pretty good audio quality, but it doesn’t give you much volume head room – especially since the bass quite easily...

The SteelSeries Flux Luxury edition, as opposed to the regular Flux, comes with some extra features: -Black base headset -Special edition silver side plates -Extra set of glossy black sideplates -Orange swappable mobile/Mac® & PC cables -Premium...

If the user is looking for a headset that is easy to transport and versatile to the point of being used with a mobile phone and as a gaming peripheral, the Flux is the right choice. The lack of 5.1 surround sound support is a matter of taste, but 5.1...

The SteelSreies In-ear Flux are a great entry level gaming in ear headset for the mobile gamer. Featuring balanced armature driver technology, the Flux In-ear headset is the most accurate headset SteelSeries has ever produced. Experience a new dimension...
