The headset really looks light and comfortable. The headphones follow the same simple style that can be witnessed in the newer Neckband-version of the headset. The simple and light style really has proven popular, which can be witnessed at lan-parties where this headset really has become a common sight.

When comparing the structure of the headset to the neckband version, the original ones do feel a bit more flimsy. This however is expected as the headphones light structure. This headset model has had some problems with cracking as the structure is so light and the hard plastic doesn't like bending that much. I really do feel more comfortable packing the Neckband-version to lan-parties as it feels alot more sturdy and their structure is a bit more robust.

The wiring on headsets is all too often overlooked. In this case however the headphone's wire is surprisingly thick, which gives a good impression of the build quality. The thicker wire also can take more of a beating before it breaks. This really is a crucial factor in a headset that has been designed for gamers that carry them around lan-parties.

The microphone is separate in this headset version, and it can be attached somewhere else than on the wire of the headphones. The microphone has a clip that can be attached onto the edge of your shirt or for example the attachable support that is included in the bundle. The microphone also features an on-off-switch that allows the user to mute the microphone when its not in use.

The separate microphone has both its ups and downs. I really loved how the microphone was integrated into the design of the Siberia Neckband headset, as the microphone could be hidded inside the headphones when it's not in use. The separate microphone does make the microphone more "flexible" as it can be positioned freely and it doesn't add any bulk to the headphone design. The negative side of the separate microphone is the added wires.
