SteelSeries Siberia 840 Wireless Gaming Headset Review

As the older version, the headset comes with a well-balanced output, which means that the bass is not over-the-top as we may expect from a headset exclusive for gaming; this "feature" does transform the Siberia 840 into an ideal companion for watching movies as well as listening to music.

Also nearby we do have the Chat and Share audio jacks, hidden under a protective black rubber cover:

The external cover of the right cup is removable, which reveals an USB port:

On the left side cup however, we will be able to spot the battery compartment, along with the second, pre-installed battery:

On the back side of the cover, we will be able to spot the “Winning is Everything” saying, along with the SteelSeries logo:
