Expert Review

The Steelseries headphones have been in business ever since their products like the Siberia headphones and the Steelpad (gaming mouse-pad) hit the gaming fraternity. The Siberia headphones, which have been around for some time now have become like a status symbol among gamers.

It's not because these headphones are just costly but because they also help enhance game play for gamers with sound sense. Speaking of sound sense, these headphones are not only good for gaming but also for listening to music or getting your adrenaline pumping before the start of a virtual war.

Steelseries have taken sound quality a level higher by providing a USB soundcard along with these headphones. The soundcard features Virtual 7.1 Surround and 3D Positioning. You also get the option to fine-tune the soundcard via a 12-channel equalizer.

What we are about to find out is whether the addition of a USB soundcard further increases the quality of the Siberia headphones.
