bu and unlocked Intel fourth gen core i7 or core i5 processor and get a free copy

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:16,760
of Rome 2 Total War click now to learn more today we're going to be checking

3
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:24,439
out what steel Series has described to me as their best headphones or headset

4
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:27,640
ever if however it features the same

5
00:00:24,439 --> 00:00:29,199
loose ugly Bas approach as most other

6
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:33,600
gaming headsets then I'll just have to say that don't impress me much we say

7
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:38,280
that a lot in Canada lots of famous Canadians have said that so let's get

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:44,640
the Box open inside we'll find all the cables we need to connect via USB to a

9
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:47,719
PC or Mac with the included Dolby 7.1

10
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,039
virtual surround USB sound card via

11
00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:55,359
analog to a computer or really any other device which allows audio snobs like me

12
00:00:52,960 --> 00:01:01,239
to use a separate amp and Dack such as an objective 2 and odac from Mayflower

13
00:00:58,239 --> 00:01:03,320
and finally a mobile adapter using steel

14
00:01:01,239 --> 00:01:07,040
series's handy dandy swappable cables here so that you can use it on your

15
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:12,560
phone or on your tablet both the headphones and the microphone physically

16
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:16,880
moving on to the headset itself there's nothing too surprising about the Siberia

17
00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:21,600
Elites they have a very distinctively Siberia look with their padded no

18
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:25,960
adjustments necessary suspension Mount system and the elite part of the

19
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,880
equation is definitely present as well the top bands are now made of metal

20
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:34,280
instead of plastic the ear cups can GL below any of 16.8 million colors when

21
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:39,840
you're using USB although it doesn't work on analog the retractable mic now

22
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,880
has an LED indicator for mute and on top

23
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:47,600
of all of that the padding is now thicker and more plush all around they

24
00:01:44,759 --> 00:01:51,719
are heavier than the Siberia V2s but they're still quite comfortable and I

25
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:56,640
feel like all of those upgrades plus the significantly improved drivers for

26
00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:02,000
better sound quality make them worthy of the new name speaking of sound quality I

27
00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:08,520
feel like steel series is one of the few gaming brands that actually gets it the

28
00:02:05,039 --> 00:02:11,239
7h horrible durability issues aside was

29
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:15,200
one of the best sounding gaming headsets I've ever heard and it actually won me

30
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:21,840
over from my Sennheiser hd555 at the time so when steel series

31
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:24,080
told me RA it's the best ever about this

32
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,800
one it did set some pretty high expectations for

33
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:32,280
me after spending some time with the Siberia Elites listening to my customer

34
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:37,080
crappy top 40 music and playing some Batman Arkham Origins to get my gaming

35
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:42,519
time in with them I can safely say my expectations were met are they

36
00:02:39,959 --> 00:02:47,239
equivalent to the best $200 audio file grade headphones that don't have on your

37
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:51,879
controls for volume or LED lighting effects or a built-in noise cancelling

38
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:55,440
microphone or an included sound card with features like virtual surround EQ

39
00:02:53,959 --> 00:03:01,120
and mic compression for leveling out the transmit volume of your voice no they're

40
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:02,840
not but we have to be realistic

41
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:08,200
do they get blown out of the water by the aforementioned audio file brand

42
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:10,080
headphones no they don't unlike most

43
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:16,519
gaming headsets the Siberia Elites aren't a complete mess of loose sloppy

44
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:22,920
bass and Tiny highs their response curve is reasonably flat giving them a clean

45
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:25,040
natural sound Bas is solid mids are good

46
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:28,640
Highs are good they sound good really good even they sound good and they have

47
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:32,840
features that Gamers care about like all the stuff I mentioned before excellent

48
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:36,239
comfort and even little stuff like this cool little shareport here that lets you

49
00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:42,200
have a friend plug in and listen to the same thing as you lately I've been using

50
00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:44,920
Sennheiser hd600s or Den ahd 600

51
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:49,360
headphones on my PC so expecting steel series to win me over to their headsets

52
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,360
again with a product whose MSRP is half as much as those other two isn't

53
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:58,640
realistic however good it might sound but for the first time in a while I've

54
00:03:56,159 --> 00:04:03,239
got a premium gaming headset that while expensive isn't to Total write off and I

55
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,640
would feel okay if someone bought it if you don't already own a great pair of

56
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:10,519
headphones and you're looking for an all around performer with lots of features

57
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:13,760
you know like if you just you just want a mic built into your damn headset you

58
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:17,000
don't want something on your table you don't want a clip on or whatever else

59
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:21,079
lots of people have reasons for wanting headsets the Siberia Elite while

60
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,919
expensive is a gaming audio product that I can actually recommend great work deel

61
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,680
series now I'm just looking forward to trying out the H Wireless or have I

62
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:32,960
tried it already and that's the reason that I'm teasing it because it's a very

63
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:36,560
very interesting product anyway guys like this video if you liked it dislike

buying dedicated headphones and then some other microphone solution would
