SteelSeries Siberia 800 7.1 Wireless Gaming Headset (All Platforms) reviews

I've upgraded to these after using the logitech G930's for ages and they're very nice :)

Pros:

• TWO interchangable batteries! I never have to worry about going wired due to having to charge the headset. This was definitely the main reason I bought them.
• Microphone can wind up into the headset so it doesn't get in the way or look dorky :)
• The base station is really handy for changing settings and frequency levels (means you don't need to install software for all this)
• Really comfy :)
• And also: AUX IN!! You can use these wired to your phone or any AUX cable device :) really handy if you don't want to be tethered to the base station.

Cons: (based on my G930 experience)

• NO MEDIA BUTTONS D: I loved the fact that my G930 had volume, and 3 customisable buttons which I used for back, skip and pause song. This headset still has volume (although it's its own volume. It doesn't control windows volume levels) but lacks media buttons so I use my keyboard macros for media control now which is alright but not as nice as the G930.
• I'm no audiophile so I may just not notice, but the sound doesn't sound a lot better from what I experienced with my G930's. Didn't test them side to side though.
• Not the cheapest, sadly, but features like two batteries and AUX in make is glorious in comparison to other gaming headsets :)

Superb in all aspects, extremely comfortable and easy to use. The benefit of a quick charge hot-swappable battery truly makes this a one of a kind wireless headset.

Everything about this headset is premium. The sound is amazing, the mic is great, the leather is still good after thousands of hours of wear, and the claims about battery life are understated. The only reason I'm giving four stars is that one of the batteries has failed and it's really hard to get a replacement.

I have been searching for the overall best heasdset for the PS4 for a long time, and the SteelSeries Siberia 800 is just simply the best. It is one of the most comfortable headsets I have worn (and comfort is an important factor to me) and it sounds absolutely amazing! In addition to the great sound quality and comfort, the pure multitude of features on this headset is astonishing! On a side note, it also sounds really good for music.

Perfect product – the sole convenience of two batteries is just bliss! Being a night gamer the last thing I need is a low battery warning on a pair of costly headphones. So these just outshine in regards to convince. Great product!

This is a great headset with no delay and easy functions to use. Unfortunately this one and its predecessor the H series have temperamental battery chargers, leaving me without headphones on several occasions.

Bought these about a year ago from Mighty Ape and am still delighted with them. Great sound, simple setup and I use them for both Xbox1 and Ps4 with an optical switcher. (A $30 dial thing that allows you to switch inputs in one sec.) Having the box constantly charging the spare is a god-send.

I've had a good and bad experiences with this headset in equal amounts. You can read all the good things about it anywhere else (every reviewer gushes about them) and I agree with the good points, but make sure that you know the bad too before its too late.

For starters, my pair of rechargeable batteries for the headset are already dead after 1 1/2 years of use. This might sound fine, I should just replace them right- Nope, you can't order the batteries outside of the US, well not from Aus anyway (they also aren't currently in stock, even if you could). So I'm currently trying to find a way to prevent the headset from becoming an unusable 400 dollar paper weight. To do that I'll have to search for non-Steelseries batteries that nonetheless have been proven to work in the headset.

The warranty is also terrible for a product of this price: 1 year for Australasian buyers! Mind you, for some reason its 2 years in Europe (much more reasonable), maybe they think that Australasians look after our products so well that they never stop working in under a year-

Other than that I only have a niggling issue with the plastic cup that covers the battery area, it can be very difficult to get on and off. I've had to use a knife numerous times to jimmy it off so I can put in another battery.

Overall, this isn't an isolated issue either. Just search this product online for battery concerns and you'll see many others share my grief.

Amazing build quality. Cannot beat the spare battery

These headphones are awesome. You can wear them all day and they still feel great which is saying something. The sound quality is amazing and I can hear footsteps sneaking behind me and pinpoint targets like a pro. Wireless headphones and great as you can just move away from your computer and still keep communicating with your friends. MightyApe were great and delivery was quick, thank you for the great service and headphones.
