Steelseries Siberia X800

So I picked up my new surround sound headset, the Steelseries Siberia X800 and I'm not that impressed. For the premium price that we have to pay for these I'm thinking that my older Turtle Beach Tangos do a better job than these. The mic is retractable into
one of the ear cup which I thought great, less to get in the way but then after pulling it out to talk the open directional slot points away from your mouth! You can turn it around put it takes some force to do it which I don't feel comfortable applying.

Additionally, you cannot hear yourself talking in your own headset. This is a massive negative for the headset. You can talk in a party, hear everyone, and they can hear you, but you cannot hear yourself. So you could end up literally shouting accidently
because whilst wearing the headset it sounds like your trying to talk underwater.

I reached out to the steelseries support but unfortunately didn't get any help. They closed my query with the solution to return the headset to them for a replacement. No help. Think i'll be returning these for another brand.

Just want to know if anyone else uses these, and if they have any problems or even better any solutions to the mic issue.

Voice Chat Volume Too Low (Since Controller Update)

Hey there Altimatex!

Sorry to hear about the headset issue! Looking at SteelSeries' product page for the

Siberia V2 Headset, it unfortunately looks like it is not compatible with the Xbox One console. You can refer to

SteelSeries' Headset Platform Compatibility Matrix for a list of all of the headsets SteelSeries' has that work with the Xbox One console. Hope that helps!

 

I use this headset and your right.. they do not have mic monitoring and thats a big downfall in my book. But as far as audio quality these beat all other wireless sets. Exapecially if you play with the 6 band eq. Turn up mids a d highs a bit and wow the
directional audio pops out like I have never heard before.

My biggest gripe is on microsoft for not supporting usb headsets so I have ro plug this beast into the controller!

I do not have that issue with the mic. It i just spin it around and its right in front of my mouth.
