THE STEELSERIES SIBERIA ELITE PRISM
If we were to place the original Siberia Elite gaming headset right next to the Siberia Elite Prism model the only visible difference would be the dark grey colored earpads/cushions (and that's just in the white version). Size remains the same and as for weight the new model is slightly lighter at 395g (the original was 410g).
Once again we used the REVO Wireless by Jabra to showcase just how large (or small) the headset in our hands is and just like the original the Siberia Elite Prism is quite large.
SteelSeries has once again placed their logo on the exterior of both earcups.
The large disc on the exterior of the left earcup is used to mute/unmute the headset (front/back rotation) while the one on the exterior of the other earcup can adjust the volume.
Although the specifications of the retractable uni-directional microphone have changed it's still as flexible as ever.
Another similarity between the old and new is this 3.5mm port on the base of the right earcup which allows you to share whatever it is you're listening to with another person (using another headset obviously).
Aside being dark grey in color the new earpads/cushions also have the company name printed inside.
The headpad is painted black (as opposed to white in the original version) but still features 6 small foam filled cushions.
On the exterior of the suspension headband we see the company name and logo.
The new USB sound card is placed in the same enclosure as the previous one and can also be used either via the 3.5mm jacks or the mini USB port.
As expected all 3.5mm connectors are gold plated just like with the original Siberia Elite.
