Conclusion and Verdict
In conclusion the Siberia Raw Prism is very budget and user friendly. This headset has many aspects to like and dislike. The audio and microphone quality are decent once the engine 3 client is downloaded. High and mid level sounds were clear and bright while the bass seemed flat. With having the max volume at 94 dB, Siberia Raw Prism’s high volume levels seemed restricted. Even so, I was left with a very enjoyable experience and felt like the audio quality was impressive.
Although, tinkering with the mic optimization helps tremendously. I still felt the microphone fell short. Without the mic optimization, the Siberia Raw Prism’s mic would not even be tolerable. We are not able to download the engine 3 software for the PS4. Therefore, using the Raw Prism microphone with the PS4 is not recommended. SteelSeries has built the Raw Prism into a great looking device, that I felt I could wear anywhere.
The lightweight frame being white in color and dark gray padding over the headband and ear cups is a plus. While the ear cups are a little small for my liking. I never felt much discomfort. Overall, I really enjoyed the Siberia Raw Prism and would recommend this gaming headset to anyone on a budget.
The Siberia Raw Prism has MSRP of around $60 USD and can be found directly from SteelSeries’s website as well as various e-tailers.
