The faux leather, memory foam earbuds are reasonably comfortable, and the fact that the microphone can be slotted back inside the headphones is a useful touch.

SteelSeries Siberia 840 – Design and SetupĪt first glance the 840 looks like a slightly tweaked version of the Siberia 800, which is both a blessing and a curse. As a result, there are much better-value headsets around for those who are less concerned about audio customisation, such as the Tritton Katana HD.

However, with pricing starting at a hefty £260, the Siberia 840 is a serious investment. This, plus top-notch audio customisation options make the Siberia 840 one of the best headsets out there for serious gamers. In general it delivers excellent sound quality that easily matches, if not beats, competing gaming headsets such as the Mad Catz F.R.E.Q. Like many that have come before it, the 840 promises to offer gamers dedicated headphone standard audio alongside lag-free voice chat. The Siberia 840 succeeds the stellar Siberia 800 – formerly known as the H Wireless – as SteelSeries’ top-end wireless headset.
