I had heard of Steelseries but I never really thought much about what they were like as peripherals until I went to Blizzcon. I remember that whilst Lushnek, Hyad, Balinar, Pel and I were playing Warlords of Draenor I put on the headset and I was REALLY impressed by it. I forgot to look at what it was - it was super comfy though! - but all I remember is that it was white. I didn't see a mic on it so I thought it was just the headset. After that I thought about getting a Steelseries headset.
Then today when I thought I would look it up to see what they cost, I saw this:
Thats right, this headset was called a Navi headset. And it's in bright colours. And it's Limited Edition. The Siberia Elite was shown at Blizzcon (which goes for $238 from centre.com). The Navi is a Siberia V2.
Damn, I should have gotten a Steelseries when I was at Blizzcon - you could get it 30% off! Could have brought it home and sold it!
Shab recently bought a new headset, and it was a Steelseries. However, his mic is horrible! He said that the headset is a bit tight so I'm not sure if he likes it or not. I wonder, is there anyone else out there who uses a Steelseries?
It would be ridiculously superficial of me to buy a headset because it has my toon's name on it, and it's got pretty colours. But I have to say, it's tempting. It's not that expensive either - it's going for about $70 on Ebay. That's a hell of a lot cheaper than a Sennheiser PC 360 (which is going for $166 at eglobal, but up to $300 everywhere else) which in my opinion is a king of a headset.
I already have a reasonable headset, I'm using the Logitech G930 which can be corded or cordless so I can walk to the kitchen (and heaven forbid, the toilet - just have to make sure I've muted the mic just in case I have open mic on!) and still hear what's going on and run back in time if I hear a queue pop or if someone is back from AFK.
However, I have some weird issues with my headset. Like, when it's plugged in to charge with the microUSB, you can't turn it on. You have to pull the charger out, then turn it on, then plug the charger back in. The other weird thing with my headset is that it turns off by itself every now and then, and it's not related to battery life. That is HELL annoying when you're in arena. And I also don't like the extra space on my desktop that the wireless hub takes up.
I'd love to hear what headsets people use! Post a reply to let me know what's gracing your ears and what you love or don't love about it!
