On a warm September day in Chicago, I was invited to the SteelSeries office to check out their new product lineup for the 2014 holiday. What awaited me were four new Siberia models, each of them completely updated since the days of the v2, and every one ready for my listening pleasure.
With SteelSeries’ massive new lineup of Siberia headsets (see them all), it can be a little challenging to know which pair to choose. Should you go top of the line for the Siberia Elite Prism, or is something a little more modest, like the Siberia RAW Prism better suited to your needs? Lucky for you, I was able to get my hands (and ears) on both the Elite Prism and RAW Prism to test drive them out, and hear everything they bring to the table.
Welcome to one of the best damn headsets money can buy. When it comes time to purchase a headset, I usually look exclusively at wired ones. In the past many wireless headset presented problems for me; be it battery issues or latency issues, there was always a drawback that was not worth the convenience. Today I am happy to report that SteelSeries has shown me the light, and it’s time to unplug and move on from the restricted life of the cord.
If you read our impressions yesterday of the SteelSeries Apex Gaming keyboard, you know I was quite impressed with the build quality and features of the product. Today we'll be looking at another quality piece of gear from SteelSeries, the Siberia V2 Heat Orange headset.
Psyko Audio have announced two new headsets for the co-op gamer both based on the same technology found in their Psyko 5.1 Headset. These cans are unique, because instead of using computer simulation to create surround sound out of two speakers in your ears, they actually contain 5 speakers in the band and utilize a physics based technology to create real surround sound.
Our Psyko Audio contest to give away a sweet headset has come and gone - and our winner has been chosen. We had over 150 entries for the $300 cans but sadly we could only have one winner. The good news in this case is that everyone is going to end up a winner - at least to some degree.

We've covered various headsets on this site before, something we feel is pretty important to cooperative gaming. Sound quality aside, we think voice capability and functionality is a big part of what makes headsets the ideal choice for online co-op gamers. Headsets are adding more and more features, and becoming more and more versatile.
Our first audio interview with Bioware was with the lead writer for Mass Effect 2, but Bioware has another game coming out before it this fall that arguably has the potential to be bigger, it's called Dragon Age Origins. Claimed to be a return to the roots of Bioware's Baldur's Gate series, Dragon Age Origins has that classic RPG feel in a fantasy world.
Our friends over at Colony of Gamers managed to steal Brink's Lead Designer, Richard Ham, for some candid questions about the upcoming 8 player co-op title. Richard was deeply involved with Fable 2 while at Lionhead, which are always responsible for a deep gameplay experience.
