After using the Siberia V2 Frost Blue Edition for several days, I could really say that they are the lightest wired headset I have ever used (of the same dimensions); the earcups are not pressing excessively on your head so we can wear them for hours without the need to remove them from time to time. The remote on the wire is really tiny, easy to use, and barely adds any weight to the assembly. The automatically adjustable headrest is also very handy, contributing to the overall ease of use.

As the previously tested headset from SteelSeries, the microphone is retractable and its body can be shaped by our liking. When talking with on Skype during gaming sessions, the voice heard by the others seemed clear, without any added effects. Most of the gaming headsets we have tested in the past were more concentrated on the mids and lows; surprisingly, the Siberia V2 can play highs as good so we aren’t afraid to recommend the product for other uses like music listening or watching movies.

The extension cable is about two meters long, but considering that the port is not proprietary (USB), we can simply use a longer one if needed.

As the Diablo III mouse, the SteelSeries V2 Frost Blue Edition Gaming Headset also uses the SteelSeries Engine, from which we can control the EQ or the light effects; the modifications are valid only after we hit “Save” and not on-the-fly and we would have also liked to have included some microphone effects added in the future versions since, in the end, this is a gaming product.

The LED illumination is very cool, especially if we go at LAN parties and the most interesting effect was “Trigger”, which illuminates depending on what audio is being played.
