Verdict and Conclusion
This sure wasn’t the first headset I’ve reviewed.
While not quite as good as an audiophile level headset for pure audio performance, they have offered a good balance between gaming and music where you will not skip a beat between the two.
However, I’m not quite sure what the deal with this headset is but something just isn’t right.
I really think it has to do with the USB sound card built into the headset being tuned improperly. but Its not that bad, I love the Steelseries Siberia V2 headsets.
When it comes to price, this headset can be found for $120 through various vendors. SteelSeries Siberia V2
While they do lack the ability to connect via USB and the cool flashing lights, it does give you the option to purchase an inexpensive sound card that would offer a better audio experience.
Good:
- Good FPS gaming performance
- Line-in Audio controls
- Built-in pull out microphone
- Very comfortable
- Cool lighting effects
- USB Extension cable
Bad:
- Lacking in certain types of music
- Mute microphone switch difficult to slide
- Price
Final words.
Great looks , a USB connection, and software taylor made for it sadly are not enough to save this headset. Compared with other Steelseries headsets it simply does not offer a great value for your dollar. Performance is Great if you are only planning on FPS gaming it would make a good headset but if you want to do more I would look elsewhere. For real hardcore music freaks I maybe look for a music optimized headphone.
