Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SteelSeries Siberia Full-Size Headset (White)
Customer Review: Excellent Audio Headset
Summary: 5 Stars
These headphones are very high quality. A bit about my use: I am a gamer who plays games that are highly sound driven (audiosurf, company of heroes, quake3/live) and these headphones have lived up to their status and are the best headphones I have ever owned. Before using these I was using a stolen pair of plantronics gamer headphones and the sound quality was noticeably better with these headphones. Also, these headphones have a shiny durable plastic build and smooth curves, making them attractive. The headband is unlike any other headset I've seen before and it does an excellent job of holding to your head without smashing your ears and causing long term use pain. Quake is much easier to play with high quality audio output and my scores are slightly better when using these headphones than when I use my speaker set (logitech z5500). Audiosurf is completely music driven, and good for testing headphones: the siberia headset handles music well (not as well as my previously mentioned speaker set but still very well), the bass is not overloud (a lot of headphones try to be bassy, it sounds awful), the mids are developed and strong, and the highs are not tinny at all. Quick note: I listen to a large variety of music, in the order of listening time my tastes are as follows: hardstyle (the prophet), hard rock (kidneythieves), classical (any philharmonic orc, will listen to blue Danube for hours), and hiphop (snoop dogg), I think I have tested pretty much every genre of music through these headphones. The cables are gold plated, not that that really makes a difference, but it looks nice and makes you feel a bit better about it when you jack in. I use the cable lengthener to quickly switch between my headphones and my speaker system, which is useful. The volume control on the cable is very nice, and deserves mention. Because of the coating on the cable and headphone, dirt and scuffs don't show/do not have an effect on the unit. Finally, the mic (attached to my monitor with the help of a little plastic elbow included in the package) is a great mic, I use skype/vent every day to communicate and this mic is clear for everyone listening to me. Below is a more concise summary:
Pros:
-Attractive headset.
-Excellent sound quality.
-Comfortable to use.
-Game well.
-Handle music playing well.
-Long cable when attached to included cable lengthener.
-Included mic is functional, simple, and clear.
Cons (not really discussed above):
-They are physically large.
-The cable comes off the left of the headphones (not an issue for me, but a bit unbalancing).
-Mic is not attached to headset (solved with newer versions of the siberia).
-Significantly more expensive than other headphones.
Out of 10:
Gaming: 10
Music: 8
Comfort: 9
Appearance: 8
My general satisfaction: 10
Apologies for the rambling, these are very nice headphones, I love them, and I highly recommend them. They are worth their high cost.
