Excellent Gaming Headphones
If you are a serious gamer, then you value having dedicated gaming-only headphones at your disposal. The SteelSeries Siberia headset is one of the better headsets in that category that I’ve tested. I would strongly recommend them to all but the most discerning gamer/audiophiles. They were pretty impressive in almost every category that I could think of.
**** Fit and Comfort ****
The headphones are fairly large and will fit most ear sizes. They are very soft and comfortable, and they will not start hurting your ears after several hours worth of use. They will also keep their shape, which is a good thing and something that is not a given for all other headphones that I’ve used over the years. The only discomfort that you may experience will be due to the heating of your ears. This may not be a problem if you live in a fairly cold place to begin with, but in the summer this could become an issue.
**** Design ****
The headphones look very modern and stylish. The blue color is quite noticeable, and it distinguishes these headphones from the regular audio headphones without making them look dorky.
**** Microphone ****
The retractable microphone is a very clever design feature. When fully tucked in the microphone is almost completely invisible, which is a great thing when you are either playing a video game on your own, or are in mood for music. Microphone’s flexible handle also insures that you can position it to precisely suit your needs.
**** Sound Quality ****
The sound coming out of these headphones is very impressive, although not quite at the level of dedicated stand-alone audio-only headphones. Nonetheless, I’ve been using these headphones with my iPhone and overall I am pretty happy with the kind of audio experience that they provide.
**** Noise Cancellation ****
These headphones use the passive noise-cancelling technology, which means that they solely rely on their shape and build to prevent outside noise from reaching you. The passive noise cancellation is not nearly as effective as the active kind, but for the purposes of these headphones that might be a good thing. This is because in my experience the active noise cancelling headphones also cancel your own voice to some extent, which makes talking extremely weird. So for the gaming headphones you would probably want to be able to hear yourself as clearly as possible.
**** Conclusion ****
If you are looking for a solid, serious full-size gaming headset then you don’t have to look any further. This headset will be more than adequate for all of your gaming needs.
