The SteelSeries Siberia 200 is a basic low budget headset that you
can use on a regular basis. This headset is good in sound quality. Though there
are not a lot of features and the software support is not there, the sound
balance, design, and latency are really great.
You can not use this headset for every purpose, but you can use it
for gaming and watching movies, this is the one that you can buy.

Wired Gaming
SteelSeries
Siberia 200 gaming headset is for amateur and
semi-professional players. This wired headset has a low latency connection, and
the sound quality is good. Even the mic works really great, the noise
cancelation is also a good feature, and the most important thing is that the
price is low.
The
cons start with the build quality, it looks cheap. Sometimes you have to
struggle to hear the in-game audio. But you can buy this headset with a decent
budget if you are alone in your room and playing computer games.
Phone Call
For phone calls, SteelSeries Siberia
200 is quite a good choice. But this is something that you want to use in your
room. But when you are outside, it is not a good option because there will be a
lot of environmental noise that can interest the sound and voice.
Office Usage
This is not a headset
you can use in an office. The headset will not cover your ears entirely, so you
will be able to hear everyone that is going around you.
Sports And Fitness
This is really not
for sports or fitness use. The headset's size is bulky, and it will not fit
with your head tightly. So, there will be a risk of falling. If you are running
or working out, you don’t want to use this headset.
Commute
The SteelSeries Siberia
200 has a semi-open design. It can barely stop the noise that is coming from
the ambiance. So for travel purposes, it will not be best suited.
Neutral Sound
This is something I
can guarantee that the SteelSeries Siberia 200 is a good choice. The
bass is good and perfectly balanced. Also, you will be able to hear good
instrumental and vocals. If your ear cups are small, then this is a good
choice.
If
you watch a series for the whole weekend, you want a comfortable headset. So,
this is the one that will give you comfort and good sound quality.

Style
SteelSeries
Siberia 200 has a simple and straightforward design. This headset is compact in
design and is suitable for everyday purposes. Also, the mic is retractable.
There are different color segmentation that you can buy. This headset is
not the best in style, but for gaming purposes, it looks cool.
Comfort
There are many people
who prioritize comfort over style. You can adjust the headband and set it
according to your head size. The weight of the headset is not that heavy. But
the ear cups are small, this can be a problem for many people.
If you have ears
larger than the average person's, you can find some difficulties wearing this
headset for a long time. But overall, with the price, it is not that bad.

Breathability
You can not wear the SteelSeries Siberia
200 headset for an extended period. It has been tested that the average
temperature difference in your ears is 3.6 degrees C, which is higher than
other headsets.
Portability
This is a wired
headset and has not designed for easily portable. So, you can not carry it in a
small case. Also, this does not come with a case for carrying it.
Build Quality
One of the best
things about this headset is that it is flexible. If the headset has fallen
from your hand, it will not break. The build quality is really good, as the
parts are durable. But it cannot be replaced if any damage happens to the
cable.
Stability
If you are playing a
game with the headset, there will be no problem occurring. But this is not the
best headset to wear if you are running or working out. Also, the headset is
slightly bulky.
Our Verdict
If you are searching
for an all-purpose headset, this is not your product.
But, if you spend
most of your time playing games and watching movies, then SteelSeries Siberia
200 is for you.
