SteelSeries Siberia V2


$90.00 Released January, 2010

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Very comfortable - headband component provides excellent stability while leather ear cups promote long-lasting use. In-line microphone is highly functional - vocal clarity is exceptional and retractability helps to maintain a sleek profile. Good unit overall for the price point - cheaper than many competitors from Turtle Beach and Creative with a similar feature set.

The Cons:Not recommended for users with larger heads - may result in an undesirable gap at the bottom of the ear cup. Lack of bass output further diminishes realistic sound production - gunshots, explosions, etc. sound "tinny" and fake. Overall sound quality is underwhelming - stereo directionality is fairly unrealistic and over volume handling is relatively low.

SteelSeries Siberia v2 Full-size Headset highlights:

  • Closed type headphones
  • Pull-out microphone
  • Crystal clear high, low and mid-tones
  • 50mm driver units
  • Lightweight suspension construction


- Integrated volume control located on the cord
