![]() The SteelSeries Siberia Elite Prism offers everything you’d expect from a headset at this price, including a microphone, Dolby Headphone technology, and programmable audio settings, as well as some of its own features, such as customisable LED lights, noise isolation, and the ability to share audio with a second set of headphones. It costs around £170 at retail, and includes all the cables and adaptors you need to connect it to a range devices. The SteelSeries Siberia Elite Prism is a mid-range wired gaming headset that’s designed for Windows and Mac computers, PlayStation consoles, and mobiles and tablets. With a price tag of $199.99, I’d be willing to match them against a more expensive model for sound quality.What is the SteelSeries Siberia Elite Prism? It also delivers on the noise cancelling, making each use of the set very immersive. A bit on the bulky side, they are rather comfortable to wear and even if the 5.1 surround sound is limited to your PC or Mac, the sound it delivers without the sound card is still full, clear and quite excellent. ![]() Overall, SteelSeries has delivered a pretty solid set with Siberia Elite. ![]() Also, I didn’t get much use for the mic since I don’t really play PC games online, but the consensus I found was that it was pretty average. Second, the compatibility is limited to mobile devices and PC/Macs, so while I could plug the headphones into my TV for playing on my consoles and viewing pleasure, I didn’t get to utilize that sweet, sweet 5.1 on my TV. I took them on the train ride to work for a couple of days as I listened to tunes as I’m prone to do, and I got a few strange looks. First off, while very comfy, they are quite big and pretty ridiculous to wear around town. There are a few drawbacks to the set, though. While I’m sure more technically savvy individuals will be able to find the perfect balances to everything they’re doing, I was happy with the presets which handled everything I threw at them and delivered nothing but quality sound to my eardrums. Each preset is obviously tuned to maximum effectiveness and is noticeably different. Upon plugging in, you install a control board where you can cycle through the presets of sounds which include music, movie and a variety of game types such as FPS, MMO and sports. When you plug the set into your computer, a special attachment containing a sound card comes along with the computer hook up which enables glorious 5.1 surround sound. The included 2 metre extension cord also made it easy to either game at a distance or move about your space if need be. Ultimately, the volume on your computer or device has the most control over the volume, but the ability to adjust on your ear is very convenient. On the outside of the earphones, you toggle the mic on and off on the left ear and adjust the volume of the phones on the right. I mean, they’re on your head, so you can’t see how it looks, but the point is that the option is there. ![]() You can toggle the colour of the lighting and can even use different effects so the lights can change to different rhythms. The Siberia Elite also have LED lighting around the ears and the mic lights up to let you know when it’s active.
