Review: I love it, BEST Headset I've ever had! Great for gaming and basic audio. - PC gamers best friend. Also want to add that it works great with Windows 8, even though it isn't listed as being compatible with it, it is. Ok well, I looked for a headset after my Turtle Beach headset broke. I had a PX22, and while they are comfy to a degree they are both heavy and broke within a month. The earcup snapped off, and tape only works to a point. After the PX22 I went to the PX3 wireless Turtle beach headset. This was a disaster. The transmitter wouldn't connect and I ended up sending them back since they worked for a day and then nothing. At this point I was kind of scrambling to find something quality. I've had turtle beaches and logitech and these trump both. I almost went with Astro a40s, but they are way too expensive even on sale, and from the reviews if you want the great sound you need the mixamp, which the V2 will work with if you get it. Not only that but the V2 has been compared to astros (which for those who don't know are supposedly the best of the best and worn by a lot of pro gamers) and been found to be almost as good and some prefer them, Overall I wanted something I could play Elder scrolls online with (when it comes out, the Beta is awesome by the way), listen to music with, and watch movies. While I can't tell you how these are for FPS games and such, the reviews I watched said even footsteps were easy to hear and directional accuracy was good. All I know is music and movies are so much better on these than the Turtle beach products I have used. I only used the Px3's for a day but I'm not even upset that these aren't wireless. If I have to put up with a wire for this quality I sooo will. Here is a breakdown: Setup : plug and play, so easy you don't need to even read directions. Though you do need to download drivers from the provided website. Takes a min but improves quality Sound: 8/10 I'm in love, has a good base, but not overwhelming, good volume. Even those who want to drown out the world can do so. One con is that those around you will hear what you are listening to. I give it an 8/10 because the mixamp from astro can make it better, but on this scale turtle beach Px22 is a 6, and PX3 is a 7. The USB sound card is really nice for the fact I can use it with my laptop to make the sound the same as what I get from my desktop (which has a good soun card on board.) And if you need to hear what is going on around you, you can.. if you just don't turn them up full blast. If you do, the world is pretty much drowned out. Comfort: 10/10 OMG, they are the most comfortable headset ever. I just had my ears pierced (one cartilage piercing and two on the bottom, and my ears are super sore even two weeks after) and these don't even hurt me. I was worried since a lot of people say they sit on your ears instead of going around them. They do a little of both but they feel so nice! I was at first concerned about the suspension like band, but that thing makes them feel so light on your head. Mic: 9/10 Better than turtle beach. I'm sure there are some better ones out there which is why it only gets 9/10 I don't doubt the comfort and sound is why people use these for professional gaming. If you need to wear these for hours, noooo problem. If you want something to watch movies and listen to music with, without the need for gaming or voice programs to talk to your buds you might want to just get some super quality headphones, but this in my personal opinion is a GREAT choice for someone looking for an all around good headset that you can do everything with. For hardcore gamers: Save yourself some money and grab these and an astro mixamp if you want the best of the best. For gamers and those wanting this for music etc: Great headset, for a beginner Review: Fantastic headset for PC gamers! - This review is for the Siberia V2 USB Gaming headset. So you (the reader) can have a sense of reference for my review, let me start off by saying that I am a PC gamer and planned on using this headset primarily for that purpose alone. As a gamer I am interested in the following: 1) Sound quality 2) Comfort 3) Directional sound 4) Design/construction of headset 5) Drivers/software The games I wanted to use it for were: Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3, Portal 2, and others (as I purchased/played them). That being said, I can not and will not cover any movies or music usage aspects of this headset in my review, since I am not an expert at those two at all. I have recently tried out the Corsair Vengeance 1500 USB Headset as well (my review can be found on there too), and decided to go with the Steelseries V2 Siberia. 1) SOUND QUALITY = A Really, really good. The virtual 7.1 surround sound (achievable with the included USB sound card) actually works! The 50mm drivers sound wonderful and are able to accurately reproduce everything from base-rich explosions to light footsteps. I personally did not hear any background "hissing" sounds. And my mic quality was superb as well (verified with friends over Skype, in-game voice). 2) COMFORT = A I really think THIS is where Steelseries has an edge over other similarly-priced headsets. Their design (although appearing flimsy) allows for an insanely comfortable fit. I do not have a very large head, nor do I have over-sized ears, but most of the other headsets were uncomfortable for me (the Corsair Vengeance felt like it was constantly squeezing my head). This is not so with these! I can wear them for hours and not feel ANY discomfort. While the leather ear pads are very comfortable, they affect the "breathability" aspect and it becomes somewhat warm around the ears after a long session of gaming. However, that is something that you'd have to deal with no matter which headset you get, if it has (p)leather cushions. 3) DIRECTIONAL SOUND = A Great! As mentioned earlier, the 7.1 surround sound works very well with the included USB soundcard. There's even a nifty little test you can do from within the software, to test out the speaker placement. It allows you to literally see the sound direction it's playing for you on the monitor. It felt very accurate to me! Secondly, I had no issues with sound direction whatsoever in the games I played. 4) DESIGN/CONSTRUCTION = A- While I love the headset, its construction does appear to be a little flimsy. The top headband is a very thin cushioned strip that is connected via two paper-clip type strands to springs within the ear pieces. The mic can be taken out or retracted into the ear-piece. This not only looks cool but is very very functional. This is by far my favorite feature on this headset! My only thing is, when the mic is pushed-in all the way, it still sticks out slightly (by less than a quarter of an inch, mind you). This leads me to believe that the winding mechanism inside the ear-piece isn't terribly precise. Which is fine because you can't really tell that mic is not fully retracted by merely a few millimeters, but it is an indicator of craftsmanship. At the end of the day, in my case at least, the headset is just going to be sitting on my desk if I'm not using it, so the "strong-enough construction" factor is really not that important. Overall though, the design of the headset is very cool and it does look and feel phenomenal. The in-line controls are nothing fancy but completely functional and intuitive. 5) DRIVER/SOFTWARE = B+ The software isn't terribly intuitive but it does its job. It's got some cool features like the ability to turn 7.1 on/off with a click of a button and a surround sound test that lets you see on the screen the directional speakers that the headset is trying to imitate. The driver shows the headset as a "USB PnP Sound Device", which is fine really for all intents and purposes, but it shows the amount of programing polish and time that went into the software side of things for this headset; they didn't bother to create fully-formed drivers that actually spelled-out the name of the device itself ("Steelseries Siberia V2 USB Headset"). Lastly, the accompanying software, again, lacks the polished look and feel that you'd expect from a popular audio device manufacturer. It looks more like something that a small start-up created for their new product. However, since it does its job, and does it well, the bells and whistles beyond that are really unnecessary anyway. >>CONCLUSION: Awesome headset with no major issues in any arena. I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for a virtual 7.1 USB headset for PC gaming, for under $100. It's comfort and functionality really make it a contender with the higher-priced headsets too! P.S. Contrary to most of the other low reviews on this product due to "Wrong product received", I received the exact headset outlined on this page and I actually got it within 1-day instead of 2 (thank you desertcart Prime)! ## Features - Closed ear headphones - Pull-out microphone - Crystal clear high, low and mid-tones - 50mm driver units - Lightweight suspension construction - Virtual Surround 7.1 USB Soundcard ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002Q8IHEK | | Additional Features | Lightweight | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Brand | SteelSeries | | Brand Name | SteelSeries | | Cable Features | Retractable | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | PCs, Xbox, Gaming Consoles | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Remote | | Control Type | Volume Control | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 296 Reviews | | Ear Placement | Over Ear | | Earpiece Shape | Over-ear | | Enclosure Material | Leather | | Form Factor | Over Ear | | Frequency Range | 50 Hz - 16 kHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05707119006484, 08138100121386 | | Headphone Folding Features | Over Ear | | Headphone Jack | USB | | Headphones Ear Placement | Over Ear | | Impedance | 32 Ohms | | Is Autographed | No | | Item Weight | 1.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | SteelSeries | | Model Name | v2 | | Model Number | 51103 | | Noise Control | Sound Isolation | | Number of Items | 1 | | Specific Uses For Product | Gaming | | UPC | 813810012138 777786243258 002541065586 898029666334 081381001213 151903083475 863121575716 132017644110 887632592963 846764228560 | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer warranty | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SteelSeries - **Color:** Black - **Ear Placement:** Over Ear - **Form Factor:** Over Ear - **Impedance:** 32 Ohms ## Images ![SteelSeries Siberia v2 Full-Size USB Gaming Headset with Virtual Surround 7.1 Sound (Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51CocHLho0L.jpg) ![SteelSeries Siberia v2 Full-Size USB Gaming Headset with Virtual Surround 7.1 Sound (Black) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/512xXVdSVRL.jpg) ![SteelSeries Siberia v2 Full-Size USB Gaming Headset with Virtual Surround 7.1 Sound (Black) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aBRXIwgJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love it, BEST Headset I've ever had!

While some may attribute its breaking to user-error or just plain old bad luck, I am willing to say it is neither of those. Pros - 7.1 Surround Sound was pretty good. - Overall sound was great for games, movies, video editing, etc. - Very comfortable around the ears and over the head. - Never experienced any discomfort from the headphones after wearing them for long periods of time. - Considering the material of cushions on the headphones plus the 7.1 USB device, the price was and is not too bad. - USB device and headphone cord feature quick methods to adjust volume and mute mic - I really like how you can retract the microphone cord into the earphone. I use a different microphone myself so getting the headset discretely out of the way is quite nice. Cons - There only problem I had was that SteelSeries headsets break down on me like clockwork. I have had 3 SteelSeries headsets over barely 3 years. All of these headsets suddenly fall apart in some way after about 1 year and 1 month of owning them (I'm not kidding, all of my headsets have broken down in about that much time exactly). The first two were 5H V2's. After the first 5H broke (right earphone stopped working and almost completely fell off) I figured it was the result of unfortunate luck. Having been past the 1 year warranty, I ordered another 5H V2. 13 months later, same exact thing happens to that pair. Considering SteelSeries' consistently high ratings for most of its equipment, I figured it was a 5H problem. So then I bought the Siberia V2. Another 13 months go by and the headset stops working. The only difference was that this time (due to its construction) the right earphone abruptly stopped working. To add insult to injury, this happened (for a third time) 1 month after warranty expired. Now some of you may be thinking that I just am terrible at handling headphones or that every 13 months I go into some bizarre rage that result in the identical failure of all 3 of my headsets, but I honestly don't. Among watching movies, tv, and video editing, I use the headsets mostly for gaming. However, I am not one of those angry gamers who likes to throw childish fits over things that happen on the internet. If anything, I did my absolute best (especially with this 3rd set of headphones) to ensure nothing I did could possibly promote their breakdown. Why should you believe me? 1) These headphones are nice and I don't like breaking nice things. 2) These headphones are expensive, I don't like breaking expensive things either. Overall, I can still safely recommend SteelSeries anything vs. Razer anything if that is the dilemma you find yourself in. That being said, I am personally going to stop purchasing SteelSeries headsets and switch to someone else (probably Logitech as all of their stuff has lasted me more than 6 or 7 years so far). I highly suggest you avoid SteelSeries headsets as my experience with them has suggested that something about their design isn't as good as it appears to be on the outside. These headphones are great while they last, they just don't last for much past the warranty expiration. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1541909-steelseries-siberia-v2-full-size-usb-gaming-headset-with-virtual](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1541909-steelseries-siberia-v2-full-size-usb-gaming-headset-with-virtual) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
