It was almost a year ago to the day when we took a look at the Siberia Elite gaming headset. As impressive as it was, there were some downsides that made a fair few people unhappy. One was the comfort, as we even noted ourselves, the grip was strong and the earpads were large but unaccomodating for ears, all this while being fairly heavy lead to many suffering from fatigue. This problem has been solved by reducing the grip strength and increasing the strength of the suspension headband as well as making a larger earcup to better fit peoples ears. There was also an issue where many would experience audio cutout due to a mechanical flaw where an internal cable would shear when the headband was stretched too far, it is to my understanding that this has now been fixed. Finally, the microphone has been replaced with a completely new one with improved noise cancelling. This is a lot of refinement to which you could say that the Siberia Elite Prism is the Siberia Elite V2, reflecting SteelSeries' determination to deliver an uncompromised highend gaming headset.
Much of the aesthetic remains similar to the previous Elite headset, available in white/black and black, the overall design is definitive of the Siberia Series yet allows you to think sleek and imposing or beautifully monstrous. If SteelSeries delivers on their claims of improvement, the Siberia Elite Prism could simply be the finest example of a gaming headset.
