What customers say about "Key Specs"

SteelSeries Siberia v2 Full-Size Gaming Headset

Microphone isn't detachable and that is good. It has a retractable microphone, which keeps it out of the way when you're not using it.
It adjusts to my head pretty nicely, and my brother's head to when he played on my computer.
The head piece adjusts very well for me and for my husband.
No adjustment needed to fit almost any head size: the support system counterweights the headset, sizes itself automatically as you put it on.
The noise cancelling ear-cups do not completely cover your ears, they leave a small gap towards the back that picks up outside noises.

SteelSeries Siberia v3 Comfortable Gaming Headset

Headphones provide super strong noise isolation, so my husband can't hear me.
The band is comfortable on the head, adjustable so that it fits quite well on me.
Sound isolation is very good, its so good that the world could end and you wouldn't even know it.
They are not noise cancelling, but they do suppress a lot of noise.
Noise cancellation is a advertisement joke, none at all.

What customers say about "Microphone"

SteelSeries Siberia v2 Full-Size Gaming Headset

Microphone works well, and friends noted that I sounded allot clearer and louder than before.
The mic is very clear, the people I play with immediately noticed the difference from my last headset.
Excellent microphone, with good quality sound, On/Off switch for microphone and here is my first gripe.
The microphone works perfectly for what it is designed for, communicating.
If you're using the mic for team chat or just talking over Skype or whatever, it provides a nice clear audio signal and definitely gets the job done.

SteelSeries Siberia v3 Comfortable Gaming Headset

Microphone sound is clear, yet again, I would prefer a more sturdy micб but sound of mic is good.
Microphone is good quality. Sometimes get quiet, but for small time.
I have many friends who have this headset and all their microphones works perfectly.
The mic on these headphones is completely non-functional.
The PS4 does not recognize the microphone so you have no way of actually comunicating with anyone.

What customers say about "Features"

SteelSeries Siberia v2 Full-Size Gaming Headset

The cord is long enough and can be split, so you can remove the extension cord if its not needed.
In-cable volume and microphone controls are great, and much more convenient than on-ear controls
Microphone retracts to hide it when you don't need it, keeping a sleeker appearance.
The cord is very long. So that gives me a lot of option on how to hook it up since my CPU sit under my desk on the floor.
Extension cable is included which makes cable length plenty long to reach the back of a desktop.

SteelSeries Siberia v3 Comfortable Gaming Headset

The cord is very long, and separates at a point so that the 3.5mm jack would work well with a phone.
It connects to any device with a 3.5mm jack, and came with a splitter to connect to the pc so that saved me the hassle of having to buy one separately.
I use it daily whether it's on my xbox or pc and it performs amazing for both.
Really comfortable, and i can use it on both my PC and my PS4.
Some issue with my cellphone. Won't connect as headset with mic.
