Seeing as our North American office is located in Chicago, where the city river is colored green every year on St. Patrick’s Day, we thought that it would be kinda fun to do some “greenifying” ourselves.

Therefore we’re putting up a SteelSeries Siberia Full-size Headphones to the SteelSeries Facebook fan, who posts the best greenified IRL or in-game photo in our fan album section. Our judges will pick from the five most “liked” entries, and the winners will be picked on the 22nd of March - so you got the weekend to go crazy with your camera and photo editing app. ;)

Check the SteelSeries Facebook fan page for more info. Below is a few of the entries so far:

Have a great Paddy’s Day!

WoodTV and Elite Bastards published each of their SteelSeries product reviews today, which both turned out to be too good not to mention. Check below for a few snippets of the reviews and direct links. :)

During CeBIT we’ve just proudly announced the by-all-means-awesome, closed-type, passive noise reducing SteelSeries 7H headset and the mechanical SteelSeries 6Gv2 modeled after the award winning 7G keyboard.

SteelSeries 7H.

I added a few links below for you to check out all the information and specs on the new products. There’s also a big bunch of detailed pictures available - in fact, I don’t think we have ever shot so many pictures of a product, as we did with the SteelSeries 7H.

Did I mention that spring is pretty much owning winter at the moment here in Copenhagen? Enjoy your day. :-)

Without making this sound like the ending scene of a dreadful hollywood action/romance blockbuster, “we never thought we would have come this far”.

Quick heads up to make sure that you check out our recently released Mobile Device Adapter over on the SteelSeries site.

Basically this fresh, little gem makes sure that you can use any standard PC headset with 3.5 mm plugs for phone calls, VoIP, games, music, etc. on your mobile device.

Press release is available here, and product pages with additional information and pictures as well.

The Siberia v2. Simple as that - at least according to Gear Live. Writer Alex Lifschitz explains why:

“…The headset itself is very, very comfortable - I’ve been able to wear it for hours without my ears hurting, thanks in part to the plush feax-leather lining. The quality is superb, with deep bass and effective surround sound, but for me, the it’s the little things that count - such as the retractable microphone hidden in the earcups themselves. Best of all, you can have this luxury for just slightly under a benjamin on Amazon.”

If you’re more into the Siberia v2 USB, Gamerztech dropped a 10/10 rating on that headset last week - check out the review.

I wonder… I am sure you guys do too. The guys at Digital Living in Switzerland popped the question as well, and all agreed that at least the sound of heaven has to resemble the experience of using the SteelSeries Siberia v2.

We would like to agree - and add that the angels, according to our calculations, look this way too. ;)

To end the working week in a proper manner, I thought I’d give you guys an overview of the review coverage we’ve been getting on the Siberia v2 since its launch.

Check below for links to the sites that have put the headset through testing since our last posting where HLTV and XplayN.com had published the Worlds’ first Siberia v2 reviews.

1. XSReviews - verdict: 10/10

“So you’re looking to buy a new headset? Look no further; the SteelSeries Siberia V2 is almost perfect and definitely as good as it gets – great job SteelSeries.”

2. Driverheaven - verdict: 9.4/10

“All-in-all the Siberia V2 is a brilliant all-round headset and should be considered when looking for a decent pair of headphones for any purpose, not just gaming. Its sleek design and high quality finish combined with its superb sound quality mean I would personally recommend it to anyone.”

3. GotGames - verdict: None

“While listing all these specific improvements, it’s worth noting that I was constantly in awe of the build quality of these headphones. Sometimes I purchase and pick up a product and think it’s going to last me a lifetime. These headphones didn’t quite inspire that level of assurance (see the upcoming 7g review for something much closer) but they certainly had me feeling confident that they’d last a long time. They don’t feel anywhere near as fragile as the old Siberias and I’m sure this will be music to the ears of many.”

4. Catch-Gamer.no - verdict: 6/6 (Norwegian)

“Med de nye oppdateringene stiller Steelseries Siberia v2 sterkt og viser seg å være et av de beste headsettene for gaming på markedet på dette tidspunktet. Siberia v2 får full pott fordi det har utrolig komfort, leverer fantastisk lyd til gaming, er funksjonelt og best av alt koster under 600 kroner.”
