The next generation in their Siberia headset line will deliver the highest quality 7.1 virtual surround sound with SteelSeries’ audio drivers equipped with Dolby technology.


The new design features extra-large memory foam ear cushions, lighted earcups with 16.8 million color choices, and audio and microphone controls on the earcups, all on the signature Siberia self-adjusting suspension system connected to a steel arc.


“First introduced in 2004, SteelSeries’ Siberia headset brought together amazing audio quality with first-ever features like a self-adjusting suspension design and circumaural earcups to the market.
