SteelSeries Siberia Neckband Headset for iOS devices Review (electronics)
Now this version of the SteelSeries Siberia Neckband headset was made specifically for the iPhone, however, if you’ve got a first generation iPhone, it won’t fit. However, it will work on almost any phone with a standard 3.5mm headset jack. You won’t be able to use the buttons but you can certainly use the headset for much of your mobile phone audio needs. SteelSeries Siberia Neckband Look and FeelAt first I couldn’t find a comfortable position for the headset because I wasn’t used to having a neckband headset but eventually I "broke in" the unit and got it to an extremely comfortable position where it stayed put. One of the greatest things about this headset is the full ear cups that are large enough to cover my ears and my earrings. Not only that but the large ear cup pads are snug against your head meaning they do block out some sounds from the surroundings, but they are in no way noise canceling. They do a sufficient job of wrapping your ears in sound though and the muffled exterior sounds can be drowned out if desired.

| Our Rating for SteelSeries Siberia Neckband Headset for iOS devices Review (electronics) | |
| 9.5 | Feel At first there is some repositioning and futzing with the unit on your head until you find that perfect setup and then it’s flawless. The unit is sturdy and flexible so I felt no danger of breaking them and the cable is a nice thick, rubber-coated style. |
| 10.0 | Usability Do not be put off by the fact that the SteelSeries Siberia Neckband Headset was designed with the iOS devices in mind, it works equally well on a wide range of devices that have a 3.5mm plug with or without the mic. This simply expanded its usage and raised the value score. |
| 9.0 | Value The SteelSeries Siberia Neckband retails for $79.99 but the quality and craftsmanship on it, coupled with the multi-device usage make it a great deal. Far better than those $15 earbuds you have been using. Just make sure that the device you want to use it with, if not an iOS device, has a standard jack for it to fit. |
