This is the top of the range gaming headset, of the non-wireless-variety, from Steelseries. The sides glow in any of your 16.8 million favourite colours, or, sit steady on one tone if you prefer. It's actually a decent look with the serious black or...

On its own, the Siberia Elite Prism is a great headset. It's built like a tank, it's a lot more comfortable than the Siberia Elite, and it has an improved sound-signature. It also comes with a software package, which adds a number of features that are...

The timing couldn't have been more perfect. I was in the midst of reviewing Alien: Isolation when the Siberia Elite Prism arrived at our office. What better way to test gaming headphones than with an atmospheric survival horror experience. One thing...

For gamers coming from the SteelSeries V2, the Elite Prism is a serious upgrade. FPS savants and budget buyers, however, are best served looking somewhere else.

The Elite Prism are overall a functionally solid pair of headphones. They sound deep and rich, dissipate heat fantastically well and do a great job transmitting voice in the heat of battle. That said, they're not perfect. The biggest flaws are the...

Price There's no getting around it, this is a premium headset and it comes with a premium price tag to match. At around £180 they're very expensive in terms of consumer headphones, putting in them in the firing line of some of the best headsets I can...

Great build quality, good design and plenty of features. Good for music but excellent for movies, gaming and listening to streams.Available from...

SteelSeries have shown an innate ability to build upon an existing product and refine it accordingly. After receiving feedback on the original Elite, the changes made are relevant, noticeable and for the better. The headset is still large and heavy, but...

When you receive the newest version of a product which you reviewed in the past the first thing you need to do is check and see how much better it is and that's exactly the very first thing we did. Unfortunately the original SteelSeries Siberia Elite is...

It is nice that some companies really listen to their fans and build newer revisions upon the suggestions in order to fix different issues. This is quite the case with the Elite Prism, which has comfort improvements over the original Elite, a new...

With SteelSeries launching a full audio product lineup today I have a feeling that some people aren't going to even realize that the Siberia Elite Prisms are a lot more than a renamed Siberia Elite. Frankly to stick with the Prism theme that wouldn't...

The Steelseries Siberia Elite Prism is undoubtedly one of the best looking gaming headsets on the market right now, thanks to its sheer size, styling, and the eye-catching LED bands. It comes with its own soundcard and software, both of which work well,...
