The headphone also incorporates a suspension design which reduces the tightness of traditional headphones and actually fits considerably better.įor audio quality, the Siberia Elite boasts 50mm drivers in each earphone plus software to get the most out of your unit. I wish SteelSeries would make pillows because the Siberia Elite is actually THAT comfortable.

The right ear cup even supports an additional headphone jack which allows you to share your audio and is a cool function for spectators or those long flights with a friend or family member. When combined with the included software, SteelSeries Engine 3, this allows you to tweak the card from its various sound settings to LED customisation. The cable itself is 1.2 metres in length and is a decent size which allows some movement for the gamer but if you need more, the additional extension cable adds another 2 metres.

Another clever function is that the retractable microphone uses an LED light to show whether its in use or muted. The volume is adjusted or muted by moving the dial forward or backward on the ear cup and the left cup allows you to mute the mic. In terms of design, the SteelSeries Siberia Elite is very well designed from its clever use of memory foam for comfort to the strategically placed audio controls on the outside of the right ear cup.
