Product Description

Manufacturer Description

The SteelSeries Siberia Full-size Headset was developed in cooperation with professional gamers to ensure that the soundscape, specifications and comfort is suitable for long gaming sessions. But the SteelSeries Siberia Full-size Headset is also designed for multi-functionality. Apart from using the headset for PC-gaming, this product has been designed so gamers can use it with their favorite MP3 player, handheld gaming device or practically any other kind of portable digital device.

And that is why the headset features a separate microphone, so users can enjoy music on the road without having to bring unnecessary gear. The cable length has been optimized for use with MP3 players and similar products, and comes with an additional extra long cable for use with stationary computers.

Wasn't this headset once known as the Icemat Siberia?
Yeah, it was. We launched both SteelSeries and Icemat back in 2001 and decided to consolidate products and branding in 2007. It's still the same award-winning product.

What the difference between this headset and the H-line (5H v2, 4H and 3H) of SteelSeries headsets?
We designed this headset for multi-functionality. Everything from the separate microphone to the cord length on this product was designed so you can use it both for playing games and use it with MP3 players, handheld consoles and such. And, as you might have noticed, the visual design makes a somewhat bigger statement about personality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value NOT just for gaming., September 18, 2008

Excellent value for Ipod, home audio and gaming. I purchased a set for private listening on my computer. It wasn't more than a week when my son started bugging me for a pair for his ipod. A day or 2 later he plunked down cash and asked me to order them:)! A month later his friends started ordering them. In one case to replace a pair of perfectly good $125 AKGs which were described as too bulky. (not sure of the model)
My only caution is to stay away from AntOnline which is one of the Amazon merchants. If you have a problem they will charge you for return postage regardless of who is at fault.

Before reading this or any other review watch some video reviews only because $100 dollars is a decent amount of money but this is another oppion...ive been a long time pc/consol gammer and these headphone are Amazing,great sound quality,microphone can be tricky but using the convenient clanp thing on the headphone cord make it so you will never have to move the microphone for eating or w/e. The comfort on this headset is really remarkable, its lightweight so for even extreme gamming sessions (which im sure most gamers can relate) I some times forget about them being on. The mic can be removed and not even used so its just a nice pair of headphones (I personally don't need it but someone might) there is an extention for the jax to be plugged into spinners for those djs out there...the only CONS I have are two thing 1. The cable is extremely long but after you wrap it up so it does not get all tangled the very long cable does come in handy some times 2. BLACK is not the best color for these headphones white looks much cooler only reason I got black was because white was out of stock : /

Phenomenal sound quality, very comfortable, not heavy.

Ears can sometimes get hot after a few hours, mic is annoying because it isnt connected to headset.
