SteelSeries Siberia V2 for PS3

Up Close

We’ve seen the Siberia V2 in a few colours, primarily white as one would expect from something called the Siberia. However to match the monolith that is the Playstation 3 the Siberia V2 for PS3 comes in a very understated colourscheme of black with grey mesh sides and hoop.

The design of the Siberia V2 is one of the best around, being light enough and with sufficient ear padding to be comfortable for extended use, but also flexible enough to be very robust indeed. The elasticated headband ensures that you don’t pick up your headset after someone else has borrowed it and have to do the “dance of the ear-piece height” to get it comfortable again.

The microphone is the standard SteelSeries retractable one which stays where you put it but equally slides away neatly for when you don’t.

At the business end, and handling the “compatible with PCs and anything that has 3.5mm jacks” duties are, well, 3.5mm jacks.

So how does it fair?
