Performance
No Lag
The Siberia 840 uses continuous frequency-hopping technology to prevent lag between your game and your headset.
Surround Sound
Immerse yourself in incredible virtual 7.1 surround sound. While most headsets simply feature Dolby Headphone, we feature three different types of Dolby technologies.
Soundscape
The Siberia 840 delivers exceptionally-tuned audio that is perfect for gaming, movies, music and more.
Siberia 840 with Bluetooth
Bluetooth connection lets you chat via VoIP clients through your mobile devices. Gamers can also take calls and stream music, all without ever having to take off their headset.
See Your Settings
No more looking at blinking LEDs to decipher your current settings. The Siberia 840 transmitter box has a vibrant OLED display the shows all of your settings and more.
Display
Profiles, audio sources, battery life, and volume are shown with crystal clear visuals. The large display makes it easy to see and operate from the comfort of your couch.
Wireless Controls
The on-earcup controls make adjustments quick and intuitive. With the control wheel, you can adjust volume and navigate the most commonly used settings right from your seat.
Visual Chat Mix
You control the audio level balance between the action in your game and the communication from your team. Simply turn up the chat audio to ensure hearing your friends over the explosions. Or turn down your friends if you want to focus on the action.
Hot-Swappable Batteries
Never lose power, never go wired. We included two 20-hour lithium-ion batteries, which can be changed mid-action without the hassle of any cables or wires. The spare battery charges inside the receiver so it’s ready when you need it most.

Siberia 840 with Bluetooth
Bluetooth connection lets you chat via VoIP clients through your mobile devices. Gamers can also take calls and stream music, all without ever having to take off their headset.
PC:
I find the easiest option, because you can just connect the USB cable and start using it. The PC provides the necessary power to let the transmitter work and charge the battery. Then if you power of the computer you will not have an annoying light if you want to sleep. If you want to make use of the Dolby digital feature you do need to connect the optical cable but that is not very much work, just plug and play.
Xbox:
For the Xbox you do need to connect the power adapter and then you can choose between the analog cable or the optical cable which I recommend using cause you can then make use of the Dolby digital feature. If you want to chat you have to connect the chat cable to the controller as well.
Playstation:
For Playstation you need to connect the power adapter as well and choose between the USB cable or the optical, again I do recommend using the optical cable for the Dolby feature.
Mobile: for mobile devices like cell phones, mp3’s, iPods, iPads,… you will need to connect the power adapter in the first place and than connect the device with the mobile cable to the transmitter.
OR NOW YOU CAN JUST USE BLUETOOTH IF YOUR DEVICE HAS THE CAPABILITIES!!!!
But the other methods above work also. You do have use the USB connection to make use of the SteelSeries Engine 3.
There we have it! The Siberia 840 brought to us by SteelSeries! Let us cover a few final thoughts in the conclusion of our review.
