The Steelseries Siberia V2 Review

I have recently bought the Steelseries Siberia V2 Headset for a super marked down price. RRP is roughly around RM 369, i bought mine for RM 320 from LYN forum. =) What a steal ! After a few testing rounds, i have decided to review this amazing headset.




Basically, this headset is powered by a 50mm driver unit which process a full sound effect for gamers who likes more details in their games ( FPS Games). This Siberia spots a 'pull out' microphone instead of a separate one like the V1 which you need to attach to your clothing in order to use the mic while doing your stuff.

This headset is also rich in terms of sound quality. Much to my surprise, there is an average amount of Bass packed inside this nifty gadget. Usually gaming headsets focus more on Trebles instead of Bass but this one is an all rounder.

Moreover, it feels great while being stuck to your head as it is pretty lightweight hence you actually don't recall wearing it. Not to mention that this headset is also detachable? You can unscrew it into small portions and take it along if you are traveling alot.

However, the greatest downfall of this headset is the lack of Microphone volume control. As i have used the Steelseries 4H before which comes with a Microphone Volume controller, this Siberia however does not come with that. The Mute button for the Mic is feels pretty cheap and it seems like it can break anytime.

Pros :

• Lightweight
• Easy on the eye, beautifully constructed with 'futuristic design'
• 2m long extension cable for both 3.5mm and microphone jack
• Good sound effect and perfect bass level
• Gold Pleated jacks.
  

Cons :

• Costly ._.
• Plastic body with a cheap feeling mute button
• Small Earcups which leads to painful ears after long usage. It's XL Sized btw .
• Short original 3.5mm jack and microphone jack. 1m only.

Overall rating : 7/10

Good headset for gamers. One of the best selling and costliest ones too. Buy only if you are a serious gamer and Steelseries Fan.
