SteelSeries Siberia V2 Cross-Platform Headset Review
Conclusions
Contents
The only major gripe we had with the Siberia V2 Cross-Platform is the absence of surround sound. That being said, it is one of the most comfortable headsets we’ve tested, even though it is big. The product features a strong bass, nice low and high-ranges, and the LiveMix really enhances the chat experience. The long cable is a necessary evil because it has to reach a TV when the headset is hooked up to a gaming console; if the user only plays on the PC, it’s better to choose the regular version of the Siberia V2 to avoid having a long cable among the mess of cords behind a PC.
