Enter the Unheard Syracuse SIBERIA ELITE Gaming Headset Experience

Sorry, Jeffrey once again wants to say that 2013 is the big year of the portable audio market. This is not only the feeling at the end of 2013. Until 2014, many manufacturers continue to work hard to continue this wave. In 2014, the portable audio market was pushed to another climax. The gaming headset, as a portable audio device, or a branch of peripheral devices, gained more attention while e-sports became more prosperous. There is a large sailing activity of EXSOUND? SHARK VII / USB 7.1-channel professional gaming headphones, so we can look at the peripheral manufacturers' hard work on the gaming headset.

The experience of the SteelSeries SIBERIA ELITE gaming headset is an extended attempt for me to experience less gaming headsets, and an opportunity to try to understand the market conditions and needs.

The name of SteelSeries, even a mild game experience like Jeffrey, can be seen in the occasional game news reports. As the leading brand of professional game equipment in the world, there are many world-renowned outstanding teams. Including the SK Gaming team, the Fnatic team, etc., they all chose to use SteelSeries products as their designated game equipment. At the same time, SteelSeries also cooperated with the world's top game developers to develop a variety of game theme equipment to meet the game fanaticism. The needs of enthusiasts.

For this highly-reputed brand, Jeffrey is also full of expectations, I look forward to the SteelSeries SIBERIA ELITE gaming headset in this experience to make a good impression on me. Before starting to introduce the experience, it is still the usual practice to present SIBERIA ELITE's map tour.

Since it is a gaming headset, this evaluation must be based on the game. Although Jeffrey has not been a game enthusiast, but there are always a few favorite games. This time the evaluation will choose "NBA 2K13", "Mission Summon 4" and "Red Alert 2: Revenge of Yuri" as a reference, although not a masterpiece, but are accompanied by Jeffrey's growing game, they are also familiar with them, can be similar to audio evaluation Generally make a more accurate judgment.

The first thing I entered was "NBA 2K13". As a basketball enthusiast, in addition to occasionally catching up with three or five confidants on the field, Jeffrey also likes to come up with two on the computer. It is both entertainment and The training of the players and tactical awareness. Since the "NBA LIVE" series faded out of the PC platform, "NBA 2K13" has become the only choice for many basketball fans on the PC, and "NBA 2K13" is also more real and outstanding performance. Has won the favor of players.

When entering the game, Jeffrey was a little surprised when he was in the game menu. Surprisingly, SIBERIA ELITE has a very good separation of sounds. The separation of musical elements is quite good, and it can be used for R&B or electronic music. Being able to maximize the presentation. After Jeffrey entered the game, the ear entered a real space, the cheers of the audience, the live commentary and music, and the sound of the ball slamming on the ground and the players competing on the field. Really feedback to the cochlea through SIBERIA ELITE.

Many sound elements are gathered in the same space, but they can maintain order and distance, presenting a layered sound. On the one hand, SIBERIA ELITE is excellent in portraying and separating sounds. On the other hand, it also proves SIBERIA ELITE. Have a large enough sound field to accommodate all the music elements loosely, so that all the music elements can be fully extended in the right environment. Under the sound of SIBERIA ELITE layered sound, enjoying a game is the most exciting day. Leisure activities.

In the FPS of "Call of Duty 4", the focus of the test game headset lies in the sound discrimination and positioning sense. How to locate and respond in the first time in an empty or noisy environment seems to have become Winning magic in FPS games. Although Call of Duty 4 does not provide support for 7.1-channel output, SIBERIA ELITE's performance is quite good in the case of 5.1-channel output.

Whether it is the detailed depiction of switching guns or changing clips, or the positioning of enemy running and gunshots, SIBERIA ELITE can easily and accurately restore. Under such restoration, the battlefield situation and the fighter will be grasped. It will be more accurate, and it will be more conducive to the player to make the first reaction, to make the most appropriate judgment. As for the instant call, since Jeffrey always likes to play stand-alone games, this time did not find the base friend and fight side by side. Feel the quality of the call from SIBERIA ELITE. Interested friends can look for opportunities to personally test the experience.

In the RTS game, the most classic is the WAR3 that just ended a period in the WCG. Although I also like to watch the WAR3 game, I never worked hard to study the WAR3, but it is quite similar to the red alert series. interested.

This time I also chose the classic "Red Alert 2: Revenge of Yuri" for testing. In RTS games, the requirements for gaming headsets are mainly in the sense of positioning of the sound. A game is down, SIBERIA ELITE is big enough With the sound field and accurate positioning, the positioning of the sound on the battlefield is quite accurate. It is easy to capture the state of the unit on the battlefield, so as to speculate and judge the battle situation, and then take corresponding measures. Under the SIBERIA ELITE blessing, the same piece The time for the completion of the map has been shortened, and SIBERIA ELITE has achieved such an effect.

Although SIBERIA ELITE is a gaming headset, Jeffrey will be very curious about the sound performance of audio products. So, is the gaming headset suitable for listening to music? Next, I will share the listening performance of SIBERIA ELITE. Share it. Before following the old rules, I still have to explain the evaluation environment to you first.

Frontend options : iPod mini, I/O Magic Neo Jukebox (unmodified), ASUS U38DT

Contrast backend : Plextor D500 EVO, Sony MDR-Z1000

After a series of auditions, SIBERIA ELITE grasped the ear in the first time, which is its advantage in the separation of sound field and music elements. Just as its excellent sound field and sound separation in the game test session, SIBERIA ELITE has a very good sound separation when expressing music, which makes the sound as a whole has a very good sense of layering, which is conducive to the establishment of a rich three-dimensional sense of hearing. In addition, the excellent positioning and detailing ability makes SIBERIA ELITE portray There are certain advantages in the details of the music. In the portrayal of SIBERIA ELITE, the outline of the music elements is quite clear, but at the same time it also presents some stereotypes, and the lines are not soft enough.

In terms of the thickness and density of the sound, the sounds depicted by SIBERIA ELITE are generally slightly thinner, with sufficient sound density and appropriate graininess to truly reflect different sound characteristics, but slightly thinner in sound thickness. Insufficient moisturizing, it is not enough to restore the deductive music elements, although it is suitable for the game headphones should be clean and accurate sound requirements, but the charm is missing when listening to music.

As for the tri-band performance, in a word, SIBERIA ELITE is like a nun, and it is more restrained. First of all, from the distribution of the sound energy of the sound, SIBERIA ELITE is 3.5:3.5:3 from low to high, respectively. Due to the performance of the middle and lower discs, such sound energy distribution is in line with its requirements as a gaming headset. Based on this energy distribution, SIBERIA ELITE's low frequency is not as good as some music headphones, with excellent quality and Sound tolerance. SIBERIA ELITE's low-frequency dive and volume are more conservative and sturdy, giving a sense of end-of-life; it is real but not flexible enough in low-frequency elasticity and reverberation. The combination of the two shows the low frequency of SIBERIA ELITE Better quality, but biased rather than appreciated.

Similarly, as a gaming headset, SIBERIA ELITE's IF performance is relatively straightforward. For the audition of the evaluation track, we can find that the medium frequency density of SIBERIA ELITEs is excellent, and the control of graininess is also on a fairly pertinent amount. However, in terms of sound thickness and suppleness, SIBERIA ELITE is lacking. This kind of intermediate frequency performance will be more faithful and sweet when listening to human voices, especially when listening to female voices, it is lack of toxicity. Feeling not intoxicating.

In the high-frequency performance, SIBERIA ELITE's high-frequency extension is natural, but it is still slightly stereotyped on the line, and lacks the necessary brightness, which makes SIBERIA ELITE high-frequency glory lack, listening String music, such as the violin, the sound of stringed instruments is relatively straightforward. This does not mean that the high frequency quality of SIBERIA ELITE is lacking. It can only be said that SIBERIA ELITE has such high frequency performance due to functional trade-offs.

In general, as a gaming headset, SIBERIA ELITE has a very good performance in the sound field, positioning, layering and sound details. The performance of the game sound details is enough to enhance the game experience. Steps. While in music listening, although it lacks the tuning weight of the general music headphones, the true voice of Zhongzheng is more than enough for users who are not very demanding.

With the continuous improvement of living standards and the ever-increasing demands on the gaming experience, these two requirements have led to an increase in the demand for gaming headsets. The products of the famous e-sports peripheral brands such as SteelSeries are more suitable for related products. The demand for the consumer. The SteelSeries SIBERIA ELITE, which has a good experience in the actual gaming experience, provides gamers with an immersive listening experience.
