Steelseries wants you to "Flux Yourself"

Apart from the questionable slogan and unique cord colour, the Flux does have quite a few positive features, such as 40mm drivers which have a frequency range of 18 – 28000 Hz. The FluidFIT headband is also well designed, MadShrimps found them comfortable even after long usage while wearing glasses, something not all headsets can claim and while you will get warm under the leather ear cups they are not going to pinch or become uncomfortable. One drawback was the inline microphone, if they did not place it carefully the rubbing of the microphone over clothing is transmitted and can muffle your voice.
"The new Flux Luxury Edition Gaming Headset from SteelSeries was built for mobility in mind, comes with two separate connectivity cables, a carry pouch and interchangeable covers. The Flux is easy to adjust thanks to the FluidFIT headband and produces a high quality sound even in movies or games, even if it is marketed mainly for gaming purposes."

Steelseries gives your ears the Flux

SteelSeries offers two types of its Flux headset, the original which comes with SND Sound Block earpads and the Luxury Edition with pleather earcups, a bright orange cable and a set of fancy earcup covers. Apart from that both are powered by 40mm drivers and sport and omnidirectional microphone. A foldable body and cords which can be completely disconnected make these headsets easily portable but don't sacrifice comfort according to Custom PC Review, though your ears will get warm quite quickly. They were impressed with the quality of audio and only had some small complaints about the performance in certain situations, which is a good thing considering the non-Luxury Edition is selling for $120 on NewEgg.
"The word “Flux” is derived from the Latin word “Fluxus”, which means “to flow”. So when SteelSeries sent us a box with the phrase “Flux yourself” printed on the front, we weren’t sure if it’s a compliment or an insult. Luckily, the box contained more than just random words – inside we found SteelSeries newest addition to their ever-growing audio line-up, the SteelSeries Flux Luxury Edition, for our review...."
