Gamer-Inspired Colors

While the decision to bring back the Siberia v2, now named the Siberia 200, was based on the feedback of eSports players, streamers and gamers from around the globe, SteelSeries wanted to deliver improvements and new choices as well. The 7 unique colors options were inspired by the personalities and styles of the new SteelSeries Ambassadors: Sumail "Suma1L" Hassan Syed, Eric "Snip3down" Wrona, Kevin "Broken" Georges, Kellsie "KayPea" Pelling, and Edwin "Castro" Castro. In the coming weeks, SteelSeries will release their stories, provide a glimpse into their worlds, and share what inspires the "true colors" behind this roster of talented and dedicated gamers.

Next-Level Audio Features

The acoustically tuned audio creates realistic immersive sound that pumps out of the headset's 50mm speaker drivers. Gamers have volume and mic mute controls on a discreet, in-line remote. The durable, retractable unidirectional microphone outputs vibrant and clear voice audio so your teammates, opponents, streams and friends can hear every word. The included 3.5mm, 4-pole adapter provides compatibility for PC, Mac and mobile use.
