     For the past year or so there has been quite an increased number of surround headsets, both 5.1 and 7.1, released by a large number of companies in the field and up until today we have had plenty of those on our test bench. Today however with us we don’t have a surround headset but one of the markets best virtual 3D stereo headsets to date, the Siberia V2 made by SteelSeries.

 

 

 

 

 

     From day one, SteelSeries has been focused on making professional gaming gear that provide meaningful benefits to gamers of all skill-level, with the most demanding being those gamers whose lively hood depends on the performance of our products. We believe, as most gamers do, in winning, not trying! What originally began as a small two-person operation in Copenhagen back in 2001 has become a global leader in professional gaming products. SteelSeries recognized the need for superior, high-quality professional gaming gear that would give players a competitive edge. Fast-forward to today, and we've come a long way since our first glass mousepad. We have global offices in North America, Europe, and Asia, providing an integrated portfolio of products designed specifically for gaming. Fueling our growth is you, the gamer!

 

 

 

 

 

     Now as some of you may remember a while ago we had the very first Siberia headset by SteelSeries on our test bench so you may also be wondering what differences these two units have. Well to make things short when compared with the original version the new Siberia V2 comes with larger drivers, better frequency response, better impendence, longer cable and a pull-out (retractable) microphone. At first glance these changes do not really strike as radical ones but they do result in quite a noticeable difference.
