Siberia 800 (the successor to H Wireless) cuts the cord to deliver exceptional audio in a brilliantly designed wireless headset. Get crystal clear audio and cutting edge performance on all of your platforms. Don't settle. Go limitless.
Why settle for listening to high end audio on just one device when you can have it wherever you want? We've designed this headset to be as flexible as you are. Wherever and whatever your entertainment is, Siberia 800 has you covered.
Looks aren't everything? Tell that to the ugly headsets. While we believe audio comes first and foremost, it doesn't hurt that Siberia 800 has a simple, yet striking design. Both the headset and the transmitter offer up a modern allure that assures it won't look out of place at home or on the go.
The powerful OLED transmitter lets you take control of important features that fine tune your gaming experience. These customizations let you control the balance of voice chat and modify your EQ settings.
Siberia 800 uses continuous frequency hopping technologies to prevent any interference. The competition waits for interference to be detected before changing channels. We just avoid it completely.
Immerse yourself in incredible virtual 7.1 surround sound. While most headsets simply feature Dolby Headphone, we feature three different Dolby technologies: Dolby Headphone, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx.
Siberia 800 delivers the lowest latency in the industry. Many wireless headsets have variable latency, where audio sometimes slows down or speeds up depending on the lag. Our audio stream is fixed, giving you consistent and smooth audio delivery.
We built a multi-platform headset to connect to all your gaming and entertainment systems. Siberia 800 works on PC, Mac, Xbox One (with adapter), PlayStation 4, home entertainment systems, phones, and tablets. We even threw in a Sound Share port for when a friend wants to join in on the action.
The on-earcup controls make adjustments quick and intuitive. With the control wheel, you can adjust volume and navigate the most commonly used settings right from your seat.
Never lose power, never go wired. With so many possible sources of entertainment, we don’t want you running out of battery mid-session. Knowing that, we included two 20-hour lithium-ion batteries, which can be changed mid-action without the hassle of any cables or wires. The spare battery charges inside the transmitter so it's ready when you need it
Stylish matte black look throughout most of the headset, paired with a glossy finish adorns the sides of the ear cups while a touch of SteelSeries Orange highlights the inner ear cup and stitching. Memory foam padding on the headband and ear-cups provides enduring comfort for long sessions.
Our unique audio transmitter features a stunning OLED display. Profiles, audio sources, battery life, and volume are shown with crystal clear moving and still visuals. No tiny blinking lights to try and decipher. The large display makes it easy to see and operate from the comfort of your couch.
You control the audio level balance between the action in your game and the communication from your team. Simply turn up the chat audio to ensure hearing your friends over the explosions. Or turn down your friends if you want to focus on the action.

Pros:
Great sound quality
Comes with two battery's right out the box and the setup makes swapping mid game really easy
Great look and feel, very comfy
Setup was pretty painless once I figured it out
Cons: I honestly love these headphones... But I had to give it a mid tier rating because I have to admit that these headphones have not held up very well. I have had my Siberia 800 headset for about a year now and the plastic joints that connect the ear speakers to the headset are not reinforced very well. My last headset lasted me over 4 years and this one has really fallen apart at the joints. I have had to glue the headset at some point because the plastic joints that swivels the earpods have both broken. I understand that many people's experience will vary depending on their individual use of the product, but I do not just throw my things around, especially my $300 dollar wireless headset! ( they were around $300 when I got them last year). Would have loved to see them last longer
Overall Review:
I would make the swivel joints out of something harder or reinforced plastic of some kind
I would have made the USB cable that connects the Unit to the PC a little longer
Pros:
Good Sound Quality
Nice to have 2 batteries that way one can charge while one is used.
Cons:
I instantly noticed a volume difference between my old Logitech G430, while the Siberia 800 has a nice sound quality the volume doesn't go high enough.
Very poor mic pickup, I've had to repeat myself many times to people whenever in a group chat because the mic would cut me off mid sentence all the time.
This headset also has a very poor plastic design, not only did the plastic connected to the earphones crack off but once you extend the headset a little bit it leaves a very sharp plastic edge that I cut my fingers on many times taking the headset on and off.
On top of everything else, this isn't a good headset to use if you plan on wearing them for 4+ hours. Whenever I would wear these long term my ears/ sides of my head would start to hurt because they are pressed so hard against my head it makes them feel very uncomfortable.
Overall Review: I really hope that my product was just an anomaly because these are too expensive to have this many problems. I love SteelSeries as a brand and was very disappointed in this product.
Pros:
I liked the fact that it is sturdy and the sound quality is excellent. Set-up only took a few minutes and at least one of the batteries came half charged so I was able to use it immediately. A battery fully charged easily last 8 hours of continuous use. Noise cancellation is pretty impressive. Can only hear noises close to me. The padding was soft and the headphones are snug on my head. I have a big head so that may be a benefit for me and not another user. This thing was loaded down with audio cables for PC, Xbox, PlayStation and audio systems.
Oh, and one thing I didn't realize. The wireless box displayed has a charging port for the battery that you just slide in. This allows you to hot swap the batteries when one battery runs low. This is a very nice touch by the Manufacturer. If this had included only one battery I would have been disappointed.
Cons:
The main issue I have is depending on where the pads are resting it does cause the cartilage in my ear to hurt but I get up enough that it isn't so bad. A deeper ear pad would be great so it doesn't rest on the ears. That would be a good improvement for the next upgrade. If SteelSeries improved on this product here they would be golden. Shopping for headphones can be disappointing because it's near impossible to find a good set that someone hasn't identified problems with but a 100% rating is a dream and not exactly reality.
No cloth ear pads to change to if desired but that's a minor issue. I was able to understand the programming but it would be simpler with a program for PC's. I was okay with the price. I was looking for something of some quality and 7.1 surround and I'm just scarred of headsets that cost under $100.
Overall Review:
The mic I can't comment on because I haven't used it yet.
If you have a history of heart problems this may not be for you. Noise cancellation is so good that my spouse keeps sneaking up on me. I'm sure she's thinking about my life insurance policy. :)
Pros:
+Comfortable even for long amounts of time
+Beautiful sound quality for both voice and music
+Excellent sound cancellation
+Convenient microphone (can be retracted when not in use
+Long battery life, and it's easy to change battery when you do have to
+Good connection distance
Cons:
-Bulky, which is less a problem for wearing than storage
-Sometimes unmutes itself if you go to far away from the base
-Little on the pricey side
Overall Review: If you have the money to spend, I recommend getting this headset. It'll be much more durable, comfortable, and useful than cheaper mics. Managed to hold up even to a toddler, so it's been stress tested a bit. Not sure this is a down side, but the noise cancellation does make it near impossible to hear anything else, so if you actually need to hear anything other than your computer, maybe wear only one ear at a time. Surprisingly it's still pretty comfortable if you do that.
Pros:
-Not sure what the problem that everyone is having setting up the headset. If you buy a high end headset, please assume you might have to do some sort of calibration and/or advanced set-up. That being said, you only choose your input and output and whether or not you want 7.1, nothing hard about.
-Sound is great. absolutely in a league of it's own, no doubt about.
-Very light and small compared to most mining helmets they make these days.
-The 2 batteries it comes with is the best thing ever. You will never run a battery dead quicker than it takes to charge the other so your gaming sessions can be, essentially, endless.
-The wireless transmitter is gorgeous and also houses the charging bay for your batteries
Cons:
-Not much
-Wireless transmitter does not power down when you shut down your pc. Not a big deal, but it's drawing power to stay on.
-Pull out mic is probably the worst thing about the headset. It's flexible and great quality but it does not stay put. It kinda slowly slinks back to it's original position. Again, not a big deal.
Overall Review: Freaking awesome headset. The cons listed should not hold you back from buying these.
Pros:
great audio
simple to set up
lots of uses
Cons:
padding is very soft, yet not large enough.
microphone on the headset is garbage.
price for headphones (when you'll have to buy ANOTHER MICROPHONE anyway)
Overall Review:
definitely over priced. the audio is excellent but the microphone should just be ripped off and thrown in the garbage can. your ears will hurt early into gaming sessions because of how soft/small the leather on the ear pieces are. the softness is a wonderful feel, but with how small the ear pieces are you will feel the plastic of the speakers pressing into your cartilage. i have to wear a hat just to keep plastic inside the headphones from squeezing my ears so i can last at least an hour.
the audio is insane but the cons outweigh the pros on this headset. my ears hurt every day from using it and the price is ridiculous with all of the cons factored in. these headphones shouldn't have a mic, should have better ear piecees, and should be at least $75 less than they are.
Pros: I use to have wired headset, usually the high end stuff; Sennheiser and AKG Studio serie most of the times and I was never disappointed. The thing that made me go wireless was the fact that the headphones wires would "split" and play unevenly and the fact that I wanted to manage my cell phone calls while I was gaming. This is the only product that I could find that would do all of it. The sound is VERY GOOD (though, not as good as my AKG Studio 240, but still) and the bass is really loud. Oh! and the batteries are awesome, will work for close to 20 hours each, as advertised. Extremely comfortable too.
Cons: One con that I saw coming back often was the lack of proper instruction ... Yo SteelSeries guys ! We're not all sound engineers the lack of instruction really pis***me off as I was trying to configure everything within Windows 7 when some the configuration was in the "base" box and even then, it's not that intuitive to figure out everything.
Overall Review: All in all, work great and if you have the $, go for it !
Loading...
Pros: The dual battery is amazing!!! Forgot to charge it no problem! Just swap the battery with the one that has been charging in the base!
Great audio quality
Good mic quality
Plethora of different connection options.
Cons: Expensive, but you get what you pay for :)
After two years of being used 8 hours a day M-F and occasional weekend use the plastic around the earphones are breaking :(
Overall Review: I would absolutely recommend this product, the dual batteries is a life saver.
The audio and mic on this device have been great.
They have lasted 2 years of 8+ hours a day use, school, work and gaming!
