Whether you’re gaming or listening to music, the 200 does an admirable job across all formats. Rated at 32 OHMs, they should be good with most portable music players and built-in soundcards. With a rated frequency response of 10-28,000 Hz and beefy 50mm drivers, there’s plenty of extension for those high notes. Now we get to the sound quality, which again is a similar tune to the V2. There’s no carry pouch and no bag, meaning you’ll need to find your own if you intend to transport your headphones to and from events. In the box you get a 3.5 AUX combiner for those combo jacks that have microphone and headphones on the same port… And that’s about it. My colleague who works at the opposite side of our desk said he could hear some slight noise but nothing that he would class as ‘distracting’. Leakage isn’t terrible but it can be noticeable at loud volumes. On the topic of sound isolation, they don’t seem to hold up quite as well when compared to the older V2. Anyone with a slightly wide head will start to feel the pressure after about an hour of use, but it does have the knock-on effect of providing a good seal to prevent sound isolation. Clamping force was a bit of an issue with the old V2 and it’s here too. This means that all the things which made the V2 great have returned, including that retractable microphone and suspension headband which helps with ergonomics. Aside from a lighter headband and semi-open drivers, you’ll be doing a double-take as you try to discern which is which. Priced very competitively at £59.99, this makes it cheaper than both the V2 and V3 headsets. Billed as an enhanced re-release of the V2, the company has kept things faithful to the original in almost every way. Answering the call became something of a priority for Steelseries and the new Siberia 200 is a direct reflection of this. When Steelseries made the decision to discontinue production in favour of the V3, we’re not even sure they were ready for the outcry that ensued. ![]() ![]() Let’s be fair, the Siberia V2 was an excellent gaming headset. Essentially a re-release of the popular Siberia V2, it has a few subtle enhancements but overall, you’d be hard pressed to notice them on first glance. ![]() If you’re up on PC gaming accessories, ther e’s probably a bit of Déjà vu to be had from the Siberia 200.
