If you thought the V2 were good then these will live up to your expectations, though maybe not exceed them. Officially they have a frequency response of 10-28000Hz and a sensitivity of 112dB, though these are just numbers until you send actual sounds through them. I’d accept that the original V2s were probably more robustly constructed than the 200s, but they also cost more than SteelSeries is asking for these.Ĭritically, headphones are really about sound quality, and the 50mm Neodymium drivers in the Siberia 200 are some of the best this reviewer has ever tried. While nothing special, this reviewer prefers the cable control than those headsets that insist on mounting them on the earpieces where you can’t easily see them.Ĭomparing them to a pair of the Siberia V2’s that I still own, the 200 series does share a few parts, but the earcushion elements have been redesigned to allow more airflow. Towards the headphone end of the cable is a small volume controller, mute and a microphone toggles. With a cable length of 1.8m included, there should be sufficient slack for the majority of PC and player orientations – though you can buy extension cables for just a few pounds. Most PC owners, however, will only need to put the two standard jacks into the appropriately coloured sockets in order to be ready to rock. The only accessory included in the box is a small adapter that converts the two 3.5mm jacks that handle sound input and microphone output into a 3.5mm four-conductor TRRS phone connector.

However, because they don’t exclusively use USB or any console specific connection, they will work equally happily with any audio output to a 3.5mm jack. For those who never tried the design previously, these are light and comfortable cans for people who can spend an entire day (and night, possibly) playing their favourite title, with barely a comfort break. These headphones aren’t just the V2 as before, but a retooled and enhanced version that is now available in seven funky colours. SteelSeries has now given into those demands, and the Siberia 200 Series is the result.
