SteelSeries peripherals and headsets are well known for their sleek design, high quality and excellent functionality among enthusiasts and gamers alike. Today Benchmark Reviews will be taking a look at the newest line from SteelSeries; The Siberia Elite Gaming Headset (model# 51151). We will put them through their paces in a variety of scenarios including watching films, listening to music, and of course – gaming.
The Siberia Elite Gaming Headset is intended to improve on and replace the Siberia V2 headset, which has been very successful in it’s own right, but I think the Siberia Elite is a whole different monster altogether. The Siberia Elite Gaming Headset (available in back or white) incorporates metal into its design for extra strength, and has thicker padding all round for added comfort. The 50mm speaker drivers are a next-generation design with dual neodymium magnets to deliver rich sound and low frequency power. Compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, Android and iOS mobile operating systems straight out of the box, the Siberia Elite Gaming Headset is SteelSeries’ most versatile headset that they have created to date.
The features and specifications below were taken from the Siberia Elite product page of the SteelSeries website and the Siberia Elite product page at Amazon.com respectively.
