Until recently, I scoffed whenever someone suggested over-the-ear headphones. I was always an earbud fan. I would look around at people with the full size orders, and wonder how and why they could put up with those huge things all day.

The Steelseries Siberia line are some of the most popular gaming headphones on the market today. The company has worked to engage with the eSports community, spreading its products and branding among some of the world's top teams. The Siberia 200 is their value gaming headset, priced at $79.

would give this 5 stars but the comfort level is the only issue for me. the band squeezes my head a little so i'm not use to that type of headset. otherwise sound: the highs/lows/bass frequencies are all very powerful, and definitive clear tones on low and high volumes, excellent sound quality for...

This year (2015) has been quite the year for headset reviews on Christ Centered Gamer. I have reviewed no less than six headsets! Having done so many, I have started to get some perspective on what many manufacturers prioritize when designing them.

Very good sound quality, that is quite balanced; Comfortable fit; retractable microphone; good positional awareness; mic has good gain, and a handy mute switch

Does not stretch enough for gamers with big heads; audio cable is not detachable from the headset; could use a bit more high end 'sparkle'; less efficient than many competing models

After testing the Siberia 200 headset along with the Sound Blaster ZxR while watching movies, some TV shows but also some games, we were happy with the fact that the output is clear, without relying heavily on lower frequencies as some gaming headsets do, while the stereo separation is clearly...

Another almost-perfect SteelSeries FPS headset that's comfy and lightweight, but falls short to a wider audience due to a lack of punchy bass and smaller sizing.

Lightweight and strong; Easy to clean; Attention to detail through the higher-end of the audio spectrum

Big heads beware; Lack of punch; lack of bass

Steelseries continue to impress with their Siberia range, sure the core models such as the V2, V3 and now the V200 have very few differences, but that's no bad thing. As the old saying goes "if it isn't broken, don't fix it".

Great build quality; Classic Siberia design; Range of colours available; Excellent performance; Closed-back design; Retractable microphone; Auto-adjusting headband; Multi-format support; Competitive price

I had a turtle beach headset for gaming which broke easily due to the plastic construction, this headset has it all, quality solid construction yet light to wear and very comfortable, great sound quality. I would recommend this product

The main take away from these headphones seems to be that they are overpriced for the features offered. For prolonged wear while gaming, Steelseries Siberia V3 offers greatly better comfort.

+ Relatively lightweight + Concealed microphone which can be extended when needed; + Inline volume control with an on/off switch for the microphone; + Two metal bands at the top of the headphones for adjusting the overall width & pressure exerted onto one's head.

- Uncomfortable ear cups which don't allow for prolonged wear - Shorter cord than some competitors' headphones - Mediocre sound, with the need for an equalizer to tweak the sound to one's liking; - Overall bulky inline volume control.

In conclusion, The Siberia 200 gaming headset combines the comfort and sound of the best-selling Siberia V2 with quality updates, reclaiming its title as the best gaming headset in eSports and PC gaming. Once again I am impressed by SteelSeries.
