Steelseries siberia v2 full-size gaming headset white review

->>>> Click Here to Download <<<<<<<-

The Siberia 's build quality is flexible and sturdy enough that they won't break from a couple of drops. Unfortunately, the materials used in their build quality feel a bit cheap. There are a lot of moving parts that do not feel very durable and the cable is not replaceable so if it gets damaged you won't be able to use the headphones anymore. The SteelSeries Siberia are moderately stable for a gaming headset.

They're tight on the head and would be stable enough to jog with if they had a detachable cable. However, this means they won't be the best option for sports as the cumbersome cable and slightly bulky design will cause the headphones to slip off your head during more intensive exercises. Decent consistency performance. Due to the semi-open design, the Siberia doesn't rely heavily on an air-tight seal for bass, therefore, their bass delivery is quite consistent across different users.

Their treble range though, is less consistent than the bass range, most likely due to the ear cup and headband design. Great bass range performance.

LFE is extended down to 12Hz, which is excellent. The overall response of the bass range is virtually flat, but with about 2dB of constant over-emphasis. It makes the overall sound of these headphones slightly bass-heavy. Very good mid-range performance. The overall mid-range response is rather inconsistent but within 2dB of our target. The 2. Very good treble range performance. The average treble range response is within 2dB of target up to 10KHz.

Poor isolation, which is expected of their open-back design. The SteelSeries Siberia doesn't isolate any noise below Hz. Above that frequency, they achieve more than 21dB of isolation, which is about average.

Sub-par leakage performance. The significant portion of leakage sits between Hz and 6KHz, which is a relatively broad range.

The overall level of leakage, however, is not very loud. Great microphone performance. Speech recorded with the microphone of the SteelSeries Siberia will be relatively neutral, full, and easily comprehensible, but lacking slightly in airiness. In noisy environments, they are able to separate speech from noise to an amazing degree, making them ideal for very loud situations such as a metro station. Excellent recording quality. However, because of the dip in the high-treble range, they may sound slightly airless and lacking in brilliance.

Outstanding noise handling. The microphone on the Siberia achieves a speech-to-noise ratio of 40dB which is excellent. This makes them suitable to be used in very loud environments.

As you can see here, the microphone just pushes back into the ear cup and sits nicely out of the way. The microphone of course needs its own port so these will not work for chat on your console such as the Xbox or PlayStation 3, but you should have zero problems connecting them to a PC or MAC.

There is no extra software required and they take no more than a few seconds to set up after taking them out of the box. Since this is a gaming headset I decided to fire up Mumble and Battlefield 3 for a few hours, get some team based action going on and really get into the depths of their performance in a few online matches. There is a mid range warmth here too that gives some nice atmosphere and a great stereo width to the sound, but there is also a slight hollowness at the same time but the clarity and overall power of the drivers manages to cover that up pretty well.

I found similar results when playing League of Legends, Skyrim and Shift 2, although if anything Shift 2 sounded the best of the bunch and the engine noises really had some aggression to them.

Usually with smaller mice, I tend to lose my grip on them unless I compensate by holding on to them a little bit more tightly than I normally do. This induces muscle strain, which is never comfortable. In this particular instance, size matters not.

For one thing, perhaps mostly due to its newness, it feels so soft and smooth beneath the heel of my palm. SteelSeries has traveled down this particular road before, reissuing some of its offerings in game-specific editions. Support our efforts!
