Explosions aren’t best-in-class from the Siberia V3, but its sound is amply clear enough for multiplayer shooters and stealth games that really require a good, clean audio signal.

1) When playing single player campaigns made by the likes of DICE and Treyarch, and 2) watching the kind of movie the likes of DICE and Treyarch use as inspiration for their games. There are only a handful of situations where you’ll really feel the bass lacking. The V3 has the same drivers, according to Steelseries, but their placement has been adjusted, and they end up sounding less powerful in the low-end to my ear.
Steelseries siberia v2 audio loopback drivers#
The V2 model was kitted out with big old 50mm drivers capable of rendering quite the bass rumble. What you won’t hear so much of is low-end thump. It’s clear and sibilant out of the box, before you begin to tweak EQ settings or experiment with profiles in the SteelSeries Engine software, so when you go to listen to your favourite song – number one on the to-do list when testing out some new cans-you’ll hear the nuances you know to listen out for. That’s one of the reasons the V2 became so wildly popular, and it’s the piece of the puzzle that has changed the least in this redesigned V3 model. The Siberia has never been about making wild claims regarding surround sound or extreme bass, instead delivering a flatter, truer audio than most gaming headsets. Overall it’s a net gain for SteelSeries’ revamped headset in terms of looks. After all, the absence of any tribal designs and neon lights is a virtue indeed, and it should be noted that the V3’s available in both black and white. Alright, that’s the last I’ll say about it. Even though that look is a bit plastic-heavy for a $100 headset. The V3’s long-term comfort is the result of that decision, so it’s hard to berate it on the grounds of its look. It’s obvious that SteelSeries opted for plastic rather than something sexier like brushed aluminium to keep the overall weight down. There’s no creaking, rattling or other such unsettling noise when you put on or take off the headset, and though I don’t dare go through with it I think it could probably withstand being sat on accidentally. It's easy to perceive this as flimsiness or cheap building materials, but the Siberia models past and present are surprisingly bomb-proof.
Long sessions aren’t a problem while wearing the Siberia V3 headset, largely thanks to its extremely lightweight design.
The absence of adjustability in the V3’s headband means it’ll either fit you or it won’t there’s no in between.
