As always, however, there will doubtless be others who appreciate the aesthetics far more than I. Since I’m on a Star Wars binge I appreciate the vague Stormtrooper emotions the straight white paintjob brings out in me, but I can’t say I’m a fan of the styling. It looks like it was put together with bits and bobs rather than lovingly designed, giving it a clumsy feeling. I got the plain white version with some black detail on the earcups, and it looks…okay. Seemingly the seven different colors that the Siberia 200 comes in have all been selected by E-sports professionals, which is a sales pitch that I seriously doubt will influence anyone. In contrast the Logitech Artemis G933 that came in for review has thick card, a lift-off lid and a solid shell that the head sits neatly in. This isn’t a headset that sits high on the pricing ladder, though, so exceptional packaging isn’t a high priority for companies, so there’s nothing really surprising here. A light cardboard box stores the plastic tray that the headset sits in, so protection during shipping isn’t great. We kick off with the packaging which isn’t anything special. It’s the perfect solution to not having a large space in which to plonk down a surround sound speaker system. They tend to produce quality gear, so I was keen to see what the Siberia 200 could bring to the table. I admit to having a bit of love for the Steelseries brand as their H Wireless (renamed the Siberia 800) is my favourite headset to date and is the one I use everyday for watching movies and playing games. The end result is impressive, delivering great audio, especially for its price, but there are a few flaws that need chatting about. Steelseries haven’t opted to change the formula very much for this new rendition of their classic, tweaking a few things here and there rather than radically overhauling an already successful design. The Siberia 200 might look rather familiar, and that’s because it’s a relaunch (kind of) of Steelseries’ much loved Siberia V2, a headset that earned itself a lot of fans over the years before it was discontinued in favour of the radically different V3.
