Can I connect my SteelSeries USB headset to a Playstation 3?
Yes but unfortunately the interface with the PS3 is a bit complicated for a standard headset. Plugging in the headset using the USB card into the PS3 will allow you to use your microphone, but the headset will not output sound. Because the PS3 does not output sound to the headset (outputs throug ...
- Which of your headsets feature a pull out (unidirectional) microphone?
With the exception of our Siberia v1 model and the in-ear headset which have a lapel microphone, all of our headsets now feature a pull out (unidirectional) microphone. We consider it to be a necessity when it comes to gaming excellence.
- What is the difference between your standard headsets and the ones with USB?
As both types of products are identical in make and function, you will enjoy the same comfort and pinpoint sound with both of them. The difference is that the USB bundle features our very own SteelSeries USB soundcard. The SteelSeries USB Soundcard offers a consistent sound experience allowing ...
- I have a soundcard in my computer is your USB soundcard better than what I already own?
Probably not. Our tiny and affordable soundcard was never designed to out-perform the big expensive soundcards out there. It was designed for gamers who either use systems with (often crappy) on-board soundcards or players who travel a lot.
- Why do you recommend your USB soundcard for gamers who travel?
Playing at home is one thing. Playing at LAN-parties, tournaments or even netcafés is an entirely different thing. Imagine playing on a tournament computer with a crappy on-board soundcard - or just a soundcard which produces an entirely different soundscape than you're used too. All thos ...

Right Here.
- Why is your USB soundcard better than my on-board soundcard?
The soundcard features a processor which frees up CPU power on systems utilizing an on-board soundcard. More free CPU power equals more CPU power for your game application - and quite possibly a better in-game performance from the player. The sound quality should be considerably better as well.
- What's the difference between SteelSeries 5Hv2 and the other "gaming headsets" out there?
SteelSeries 5H v2 USB was actually built for gaming, featuring a custom-engineered soundscape created specifically for in-game sounds. We isolated key sound frequencies used in the most popular eSport-titles and optimized the headset to produce these sounds especially clear. If we use Counter-St ...
- What is the difference between the SteelSeries Siberia Fullsized line and the H-line (7H, 5H v2, 4H and 3H) of SteelSeries headsets?
We designed this headset for multi-functionality. Everything from the separate microphone to the cord length on this product was designed so you can use it both for playing games and use it with MP3-players, handheld consoles and such. And, as you might have noticed, the visual design makes a so ...
- Why is there a beeping or buzzing sound when I speak when using my USB headset?
This is commonly caused by the Digital Output and SPDIF options. Access your SteelSeries audio software window and under the 'Main Setting' tab make sure of the following: 1) Analog Output is set to: Digital Audio 44.1 KHz 2) S/PDIF Output is disabled (the circular button should have a minus sig ...
