INTRODUCTION

   Audio may not progress as fast and as much as graphics do and it's certainly not as important to most people (let’s face it the first thing most of us choose is the TV/Monitor and then the speaker system) but owning a good headset for use with your personal computer is never a bad idea, especially if you're not living alone. However choosing the right headset for you is certainly not the easiest thing nowadays due to the extremely large number of manufacturers and all the different designs and types available (stereo, virtual surround, surround) but in the end you can never go wrong if you choose to trust one of the well-known manufacturers. SteelSeries may not be a name you'd pick when going out to buy an general purpose headset but when it comes to PC peripherals (headsets included) they are without doubt one of the best manufacturers currently in the market and today with us we have their latest USB headset the Siberia V2 Frost Blue.

   From day one, SteelSeries has been focused on making professional gaming gear that provide meaningful benefits to gamers of all skill-level, with the most demanding being those gamers whose lively hood depends on the performance of our products. We believe, as most gamers do, in winning, not trying! What originally began as a small two-person operation in Copenhagen back in 2001 has become a global leader in professional gaming products. SteelSeries recognized the need for superior, high-quality professional gaming gear that would give players a competitive edge. Fast-forward to today, and we've come a long way since our first glass mousepad. We have global offices in North America, Europe, and Asia, providing an integrated portfolio of products designed specifically for gaming. Fueling our growth is you, the gamer!

   As revealed from both its name and design the new Frost Blue USB headset is based on the Siberia V2 line of headsets released by SteelSeries almost two years ago (which was also based on the original Siberia line) so right from the start we didn't expect to see (or better hear) anything new in audio quality while the build quality remains top notch just like with the previous models of the same line. However SteelSeries has also equipped the Frost Blue with 16 super bright blue LEDs placed on the exterior of each of the two earcups so it looks quite a bit different than anything they have launched to date. But since pictures speak louder than words let's move forward and see just what the new Siberia V2 Frost Blue Headset is all about.
