It's about 8 dB above the normalized average at 1 kHz. The only notable peculiarity is a dominance at ~90 Hz.

The headset's curve, which turns out to be a bit bass-heavy, is free of spikes or other nasty surprises. Testing is done with a pure binaural signal, while measurements are taken using a monaural signal (pink noise). We're using the most neutral settings possible for our benchmarks, avoiding gimmicks like simulated surround sound that mess with audio reproduction. To read about our test methodology in depth, please check out How We Test Gaming Headsets, particularly page 6 where we detail the measurements we take. Even the deepest male voices are fully covered, and sibilants never exceed 7 kHz to begin with. In reality, we measured an effective range between 125 Hz to ~8 kHz, which is still sufficient for a gaming headset's mic. However, these specifications, which come straight from SteelSeries' website, aren't given a tolerance range. Fortunately, customizations are held in place firmly to ensure your position of choice is sustained.Ī low cut at 100 Hz works well, and clipping at 10 kHz also seems rather reasonable. Either way, both values are considerable for a headset, making it critical that you adjust the Siberia 800 properly. The scales in our lab measure 325 grams, including the battery, rather than the datasheet's 319 grams.

SteelSeries' weight specification seems a little optimistic. And it's worse if you also wear glasses, since there is no mechanical solution to compensate for that. An increase in contact pressure makes the Siberia 800 difficult to wear over longer periods of time.

Beyond that, the results are not quite as comfortable. Size adjustments are handled by an extendible frame that can be pulled out pretty far.Īll of this flexibility hits its limit for folks with head circumferences larger than 58cm, though. Mechanical joints cover the vertical (end of the frame) and horizontal (suspension of the ear piece) axes, making it possible to achieve almost any position you desire. That takes us to the next point: adjustability, which turns out to be pretty good.
