Steelseries siberia neckband

[TheSharpmarksman]

do i have to connet them to the tv in order to use the microphone?

[MFFM]

@TheSharpmarksman if you have an xbox 360, the head band comes with an adapter and it goes directly into the controller

[SewperNova]

hi evyone dis ees tea stweel sewies headbend

[cyclone866]

does anyone know if these are closed system headphones?

[IHazerdGaming]

i have a question can i listen to music on a normal mp3 or on my pc or something with the SteelSeries Siberia Neckband for iDevices?

[MFFM]

@IHazerdGaming: yes you can, it has a 3.5mm plug, it works, hope i did answer your question

[IHazerdGaming]

@MFFM yes you did thanks alot i got them there amazing <3

[mitsiee]

The design is beautiful, I have no idea what this guy is talking about. It is simpel, classy and just epic. I have no idea why he thinks he can break the thing by bending it. It is good that it is bendable, this makes it fit better. The only problem I have with this headset is that it sometimes slip of, but hey, my hair is to long, so that may be it. And if I don't want it to slip off I kinda fit my ears inside of the cups, which can hurt after a while, but hey, this problem is just there for me

[OnlyXfox]

the audio and stuff is good in this headset, but I hate neckbands! this was my first neckband headset, and i found it very uncomfortable wearing for more than 10-30 minutes. It kinda slides down from my ears, and I end up "holding" the headset with my shoulders...

[ReMiiXGFX]

How does it connect to the system for the sound? A normal headphone jack or a optical cable or something?

[connorsdrew]

hahaha he talks funny!!!! XD nice video

[cryspyfast]

can i use this headset on ps3?

[MFFM]

@cryspyfast

you'll need to purchase a USB to 3.5MM adapter, and change the audio output on the ps3, note* you do not have to use HDMI to output audio, video and audio can be output differently.

i bought mine on ebay for 2.99

[1teknique]

@MFFM does it lower the sound quality for the ps3?

[MFFM]

@1teknique it doesn't support the ps3 directly, however, if you use a 3.5mm to USB stick, it will work with the ps3, i personal do not think it lower the sound quality of the ps3, hope i'd answer your question.

[Ko0kiePink]

the design of the siberia neckband headset is very simple WHICH makes it very BEAUTIFUL! simple is beautiful, why complain about the design? You should be lucky for having that item cause many wanted to have one but can't afford..

[pantsNshirt]

why are you talking about shine, you aint' gonna' to be looking at the headset for a long period of time, (at-least i would hope not) Basics: You can hear, you can talk. Enough said. it could look like a piece of hot turd but if it works fine why would you care. unless you are gaming in tournaments nobody should be staring at you for a long time lol.

[liam54545]

got this headset for xmas and love it great for music and gaming. 9/10 love it XD

[tomlud2]

[xSUCKxITxNOOBx]

[CRich4321]

dude i'm having the same problem so if you find a solution to that shit please let me know man.

[guido69x]

hi!if the jack dont feet u can get some jack adapters they r cheap and easy to find.

[sxsplit]

when i use the neckband for playing halo 3 on xbox 360 i cant understand my teamates because the reload of the weapons or something like this is to loud. i can hear my teamates in the pregame lobby but not in the game! can somebody help me?

[ThrashAnthems]

haha.... i had the same problem on call of duty and battlefield (xbox 360) !!!! i solved the problem just by reducing the volume of the gunsounds, etc in "options" !!! however im not sure if you could do this on halo, but it should be possible !!!! :P

[andrewsdope]

how did you get your head set to work mine does not. i plugged it in and everything my teamates can hear me but i can hear them and i can not hear the game volume through the headset

[Chokefly]

do the mic work thats on the headset

as a xbox live mic???

[D0BEone]

I just bought those and I don't really like how they fit on my ears. The slide down all the time and it's very disturbing, I can't play good with them. For Xbox they are really good, because when I play on Xbox I lay down in my bed so they don't slide down then.

Anyone else have this problem that they slide down, or maybe you have a solution on how to put them on your ears so they DON'T slide down...?

[DaNiSHxDyNaMiTe]

It happens to me too, but i use like 10 mins to ajust them to my ears. But then they fit.

[mikeyowns]

you'll get used to it. just wear them. i felt the same thing when i first got them, but you will eventually just learn that that's how they're supposed to sit and you won't even notice it.

[MIKAEL454]

isnt this really a xbox 360 headset/neckband?

[MFFM]

it is 100% compatible with xbox360

[MIKAEL454]

Nice...

[hellclancouk]

i like ur hk accent... nice review... they are very expensive though...

[MmhGanja]

nice, im getting these... they look good, and they seem comfortable ... and the mic is nice, u can hide it

[brian240188]

its so beautiful! i am in love ahaha

[SrEAllDay]

you can listen to music with these right?

[MFFM]

yes you can, 3.5mm jacks

[NovaNYCMedia]

Hi, I just bought this headbad, and Im having a problem with the xbox connectivity. I can talk to my friends but I can only hear them through my speakers and I know theres a cable that connects to the TTV in order to hear it. But I like to lay on my bed while gaming and mny tv's far from it and the cable they provide simply wont reach. So it there anyway I can fix this, whether buying a extension or simply finding some sort of setting,

[MFFM]

sorry, i dont have an xbox

[zooomm]

I could not find this one so I bought the one with the HUGE bow above the speakers. Its so fucking huge

[666gary666]

Hey, what is a RMA? i've decided im going to return the headphones to the shop and have them changed. Do you have the same problem that they hurt your ears after a while? mine doing seem to sit on my head nicely at all. They seem like they are pulling my ears down

[MFFM]

it depends on where you bought them

if the product itself has problem, you can call up steel series and return it to them to get the same or equivalent

or from where you bought it, i am sure they have a return policy, where it might be possible to return it and get your money back

[666gary666]

Hey, good review. I was wondering, is the audio louder in the right ear than on the left? I have this problem with mine and i don't know how to fix it.

[MFFM]

i didn't have this problem, may be you can do a RMA??

[XxSeAnLaIxX]

do u think these are better than turtle beach x3??

[MFFM]

i have not tried the turtle beach x3

i can't comment on that, may be some one did can answer your question

[najs94]

when im playing css im considered to have anger problems X)

[mattincalifornia]

HAHA !!"Some folks might have 'anger problems' when it comes to gaming"

[1EyedSharingans]

is ok if you wear glasses?

[MFFM]

you might feel uncomfortable for after a while if you wear glasses

[matbaby]

Is it possible to wear it "on the head". you know like any other headset, and not with your neck :s

[MFFM]

not possible~~

[saleserb]

5.1 ???????

[MFFM]

i believe it's not 5.1

[emillo]

didn't know a headset could be attractive

[JAFrk]

compared to the Icemat siberias, how does the sound quality vary?

[MFFM]

this is the 1st Icemat i bought, I will let some one who has the experience to answer your question.

[TRiBUTE92]

do these stay on well or do they fall down and is the bass on these good?

[MFFM]

bass is fair/good

depends on how big is your head, they would fall eventually after you wear them for a while, but acceptable

[TRiBUTE92]

do these stay on well or do they fall down and is the bass on these good?

[MFFM]

it would fall slowly until it hangs, some people finds it okay, some doesn't

the bass is okay, not the best i had, however, wouldn't you prefer a real bass shaking the ground???????

[salcin94]

micjophone :)

[santashead]

Why i wanna buy this:

1. They look kickass

2. Hi-Fi sounds

3. Sound directions

4. My steel series icemat siberia headset is something im very proud to own.

5. Many says its one of the best for recording and talking in-games etc.

6. Not that high price to be THAT good :)

[d3r3lick3d]

Does this particular product use usb to connect to your computer.. i hate my usb microphone becuase of the hassle of changing your setting to accommodate for the speaker or headset listening function. Can you get it with the 2 male prongs that connect into your computer instead>?

[MFFM]

3.5mm jack x2 (one for sound one for mic), very lovely

[whopppp]

Great review. But are they comfortable ?

[MFFM]

they are alright, if you're hardcore, and going to game 10 hours a day, may be not so comfortable after 3+ hours. . .

they look great even wearing it out on the street, i have people asking me where to get these almost every time i do take it out

[whopppp]

good review, but is it comfortable `?

[TheRealCRope]

wow this headset is great Oo

very comfortable

[cronoX05]

nice headset bun it not have soundcard:((

[TangChristo]

do you mean buit-in sound card?

wanna ask, i wanna get a headset for myself the game i play is just only cstrike. so which you recoment me to buy?

by the way which headset does have a buit-in soundcard?

[MFFM]

ccs on board sound is good enough

external sound card with a headset, steel series has that option, look it up, some other company has offer similar as well

[TangChristo]

hahaas, thanks for the reply.

btw, i already got myself a sennheiser HD555

[Minefields]

i dont know how to say that in english but there's a soundcard which you can buy with or seperately with the headset. Depends on you. It's like a portable Sound Card. It costs around 40 euro if im not mistaken

[WHiPCPL]

hey guys if you are wondering a friend of mine bought this headset and it made his fragcount go up a little bit or actually alot. And if you are wondering no i use a steelseries 5H V2 you can mail me if you wonder why

[SebbaVideo]

They look so comfy :3

Why i wanna buy this:

1. Comfy!

2. Hi-Fi sounds

3. Sound directions

4. Looks very cute :3

5. Many says its one of the best for recording and talking in-games etc. No "shhhhtfff" while talking and such (PS: Is this true?)

6. Not that high price to be THAT good :)

[Prinzeeer]

kk, ive got one of theese for like 4 months now, this headset is the most uncomftable ive ever tried, it hangs on your ears, but the sound is great though.

The design ruins EVERYTHING.

[MFFM]

it's really a personal taste

the hangs on your ears part, obviously again, it's personal problem

[bradfordcity2008x]

can use these for the xbox 360

[MFFM]

yes, 100% works on 360!!!

[CiRCUiTwAsh0r]

does the SteelSeries Siberia Full-Size USB Headset have a mic

[MFFM]

it's actually 3.5MM jacks

not USB

it does have a working mic

[m0n3y1992]

i love this headset...

u can stick it into an ipod also..

but too bad i have this rocket fish headset.

[wngo70]

these headsets are good. some cons I found were that for people with long hair (past the ears) it slips off from time to time. if you wear it for a long period of time also it might hurt a bit for some people. for me one of the ears stopped working one day and then I tried fixing it couldn't do anything so it's broken. mic's pretty good.

[catroolz]

these are so uncomfortable!! the neckband doesnt stay up at all, slides down to my neck and this causes the top of my ears to hurt a lot... im very disappointed since i paid something like £50 for them :(

[JOCKElNVICTUS]

thay are very comfortable!!!!

[FatzEmpire]

are they 5.1 surround sound?

[MFFM]

no they are not 5.1 surround sound, just stereo

[FatzEmpire]

so the sound sucks on it?

[MFFM]

no, it's great for Counter Strike aka FPS

above average for music

excellent in audio capturing

[MFFM]

sounds great, but you can't compare it to a 5.1

however, there are many reason why people listen to music with stereo

[FatzEmpire]

is the sound good and can u hear the direction of the sound im looking for a good headset for my xbox 360

[BulIdozer]

U hear the direction of the sound with these. On Cod4 i go next to a burning car and spin, the whole time i hear in what direction the car is with my eyes closed. Playing left 4 dead i hear which direction the zombie horde is coming, also i can spot boss zombies waiting around the corner or tell in what room they are. I will never play again without these or without similar phones

[St00pid]

Haha sounds fucking awesome, can't wait to play L4D with this.

[alphadexxa]

FatzEmpire how stupid are you? 5.1 surround?! how would you fit 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer in a headset?

[MFFM]

they are out there aphadexxa, do some google search, the how part, you will just find out again by google search

[BulIdozer]

Sweet! I'll get these

[BulIdozer]

Can you hear the direction of the sound with these

[BulIdozer]

How is the positional sound, i mean can you hear the direction where the sound is coming from

[MFFM]

yes, using it for CS or similar is great

[orky88]

I bought this yesterday and will return it tomorrow. It kept sliding down and hurting my ears.

[Prinzeeer]

Agreed!

[felipeletsg0]

I found it very very very uncomfortable to use... It keep falling off my head and hurts my neck alot. Good thing that i paid only 80 bucks for it, and I use alot the xbox360 cable

[JuzDotA]

Thx for the review ^^

[kurosakihansel]

is it worthed buying this?

[MFFM]

This headset has 2x 3.5mm jack, 1 for audio and the other is mic.

it does work with a PS3 if you have a 3.5mm usb sound device, i bought 1 on ebay for USD$4.00 shipped. it does compatible with xbox360 out of the box.

hope this help

[xxwhyyxx]

what kind of plug in does it have? usb what?

[MFFM]

[xxwhyyxx]

yes that help very much thank you so much both of you

[korpiklaani]

hey I saw this on newegg. I was thinking about getting them. Do they have good bass?

[MFFM]

not as strong as you might think, but gaming is fine, if you planned on having it for music only, then you might want to consider something else.

[he4rtsp4rk]

If you're looking to get a 360 headest..

Look into the turtle beach products.. I own the x3 model and it's very nice..

I'm probably going to buy this siberia headset for pc gaming

[MFFM]

it does work well on xbox360, tired at a friend's house

[iRiCBloggSe]

thx for the demo! thinking about getting theese myself. however, what i'm thinking about most is how comfterable the are? and how it looks to carry theese :D

[MFFM]

if you have glasses then you might have a problem, besides that, if you are extreme gamer, where gaming > lunch+dinner, then you might have a problem as well. (to the comfort question).

if you are in college, most of your professors do not care about you wearing that in class, make yourself look cool, unless its too warm to wear it on your neck, then prepare to put it in a bag fosho.

hope this help

[ilikereallyfunnyshit]

I heard on some forums that aroud 6 months

the plastic around a screw comes loose and starts to break off. this is the only reason i havent bought a set yet can any one put my mind at rest?

[MFFM]

so far so good, its been abused by me since March, and i bought a cheap 3.5mm/usb to plug it on my ps3, then this headset works perfectly fine!

[EmergingComet]

Anyone use this for xbox 360? I would like to buy it for my halo 3 gaming, but i wonder if its good for xbox? Anyone know?

[MFFM]

i don't have an xbox360, it works perfectly on the PC, i ordered a usb/3.5mm adapter for my PS3, i will let you guys know if it works well on console or not.

hope some one can give you an answer on 360

[EmergingComet]

Anyone use this for Xbox 360, i want to buy this but i wonder if its good. Someone please apply fast...

[eddiemilz11]

i have this headset, very comfortable, great sound quality

[enforcer77777]

[nellings6]

What kind of keyboard is that?

[TroXo]

logitech g15

[orangesodazz]

I saw this video on Newegg and I really liked the review, it is very critical and unlike many of the other reviews out there.

I wanted to know how well does it fit around your ears? Do you feel that it could fall of easily and there is not enough tension between the earcups and you ears?

[Philxtreme]

Nice to see someone other than myself interested in this headset, they seem to be pretty rare these days. In reply to your question, mine fit my head well(I have a small head) but they do seem to slide down if I move my head a lot and if you kepp your head held verticle for long periods of time they do slide down, so headbanging is out. One thing I must mention though is that the comfort is top notch

[Philxtreme]

Actually this headset is amazingly comfortable, when they don't slide down your head. I have a small head but they tend to stay on easily unless I move my head a lot, so for gaming they're great, for headbanging perhaps not so.

[MFFM]

i did approve your comment, i can take this opportunity to let other people know.

(hey axxhole, i forgot to thank you for your entertainment, you just made my day, crack my whole dorm up, from 1st floor to the 4th, and i won my USD$50 bet, everybody is laughing at your sorry axx right now boy, everybody)

[MFFM]

i am sure you're an american, we must have different text book, since you think Columbus "discovered" America, how can you "discover" millions of people?

you must be mentally challenged to believe that, and from your choice of choosing to be a tard, i will respect that, dicktionary. while the normal dictionary don't speak. you choose to be different, great choice.

[MFFM]

no where on youtube said "you must be a native english speaker in order to post"

if i did this review in my native language, will you understand? herschede16

will it be helpful to most users? herschede16

NO right? then STFU, since you can only understand/read/write in english. herschede16

[herschede16]

talk english much?
