The Elite Pro delivers full, forward, powerful and detailed sound that should work well with any game or movie. Bass is powerful yet is also fast, so it does not muddy up the overall sound signature. The mids are slightly forward so in-game dialogue is very easy to hear and understand. The highs are very detailed yet do not get harsh, so you should be able to easily pick-up minute sound effects like footsteps and the rustling of leaves, which can give you a competitive edge when gaming.

You won’t have any issue wearing the Elite Pro for extended periods. The headband and ear pads feature thick memory foam which feel very soft, and drastically reduce pressure on the head. Also, there are ear cup settings that help to minimize the tension under certain parts of the ear pads, allowing them to compress more to accommodate those who wear glasses when gaming. See More
The buttons on the lower part of the ear cups control various functions of the headset like audio volume adjust, mic volume adjust and other functions. However, the buttons are multi-directional, which can make their functions difficult to memorize. These buttons are also quite sensitive so unintended activation can be frequent. See More
The 800 delivers great bass levels, giving low frequency sounds a lot of power and boom. In-game explosions sound very immersive with these. What’s great is that the bass does not muddy up the mids and highs so the sound is still fairly detailed. More nuanced game audio like dialogue and high pitched sound effects can easily be appreciated with these. See More
Aside from functioning as charger and headset stand, the base is also the headset’s wireless transmitter, so you can reposition it for maximum signal stability. There is also an optical pass-through port which allows the audio from the headsets to output to external speakers for others to enjoy. See More
These headphones can get adequate protection from scratches and bumps if you use the included case. It is a hard shell plastic case with a felt inner lining and is durable enough to withstand minor impact. The case is compact (modeled after the headphones when folded) so you can easily fit the case in your bag. See More
The Crossfade 2 Wireless produces detailed audio with a good level of oomph. The highs are boosted, so you’ll be able to hear a lot of detail from your music. However, the high frequencies do not get harsh, so these are quite easy to listen to for extended periods. The bass is powerful, as with most of V-Moda’s headphones. However, the bass does not sound bloated, so overall clarity of the audio is still very good, and the punchy bass helps make music sound more exciting. See More
These headphones feel high quality, and give the impression that they will last long. The headband is made out of metal which is very resistant to damage, yet also is quite flexible. The ear cups are made of thick plastic and not feel brittle, while the aluminum shields add a satisfying heft and premium feel to the headphones. See More
Bass performance from the Thresher is great, as the output is powerful and slightly boomy, which highlights the different explosions, gunshots and attacks that in-game characters make. The mids have good clarity, yet are slightly recessed so dialogue may be quite difficult to hear in busy game moments. The highs are not the most natural sounding as they are boosted, but this also makes audio details like the rustle of grass or the blowing of the wind easy to hear. See More
You won’t get full surround sound functionality when using a variant of the headset on a different platform. The Thresher comes in Xbox and PS4 models. Both work with the PC and consoles with optical and/or USB audio out. However, you only get surround sound for the Xbox platform when using the Xbox-specific variant, and the same is true with the PS4 version. See More
You’ll experience a better sense of direction and immersion from the audio that you hear. The Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound feature makes the sound feel wider and more enveloping. This feature also helps you easily identify where the different sounds that you hear are coming from, and can give you a competitive edge. The microphone can also be pushed into the left ear cup when not in use. See More
You aren’t likely to feel excess pressure or discomfort on the top of your head. Instead of a single piece of cushioned plastic or metal as a headband, the Thresher features a 2 piece hammock design with a steel piece giving the headband structure while a separate, leather-wrapped foam piece that acts as a cushion on your head. This foam piece feels very soft as there is no solid piece for your head to hit. This part of the headband also automatically adjusts to best fit your head size and shape. See More
Your teammates should easily hear your voice chats in-game. The microphone produces great sound quality, and should make your voice sound full and clear. Noise cancelling is also quite good, and is able to prevent ambient noise and most of your button presses or mouse clicks from mixing with your audio. See More
You can easily hook up the Thresher Ultimate to your PC as well as game consoles. The base station offers optical in/out as well as USB in so you do not need converters and the like for console and PC compatibility. You can also hook up both a PC and a console at the same time, and you can toggle between the 2 sources using the switch at the rear of the base. Surround sound processing is also handled by the base station so you do not need any software for this function to work. See More
This headset's wireless connection (both RF and Bluetooth) is stable and the sound is detailed and powerful. The base station also accepts a variety of analog and digital inputs, making this a very versatile headset. It also has a long battery life complemented by a charging system that allows you to charge one battery pack while using the other. See More
While the charging system and the inclusion of two batteries is a unique and innovative feature, it can also be an inconvenience. You can’t charge the battery while the headset is in use, which can be an issue if you forget to charge your spare battery while the other one is in use. This can also be a problem when you lose headset power mid-game and you need to swap out batteries. See More
The Siberia 840 comes with a spare battery pack in addition to the one already provided. The spare battery can be charged independently in the base station, so you can use the headset while the other battery pack charges. Swapping from one battery to another is also quick and easy to do. See More
You can adjust the various settings of the Siberia 840 on your computer via Steelseries’ Engine 3 app. You get more fine tuning options compared to what the base station can provide, and you’ll also be able to set and sync audio profiles with your other Steelseries devices, allowing on the fly audio changes depending on the inputs to your Steelseries mouse and/or keyboard.
