Packaging

The packaging for the Siberia Elite is similar to the 9H and H wireless that we have also taken a look at recently. All three have the same black and orange design with a large photo of the actual product on the front cover. This gets the point across and also gives the SteelSeries products a nice consistent look when you see them on the shelf. Speaking of that you will actually catch their stuff in their own section at Best Buy and at a lot of Walmart’s as well. Sounds like they have been moving up in the world!

Around on the back of the box you will find a lot more color with multiple photos of the Siberia Elite showing off a few of the colors that the side lighting can do. To go with the photos, the back of the box has short write-ups on the headsets key features and a little information on the new SteelSeries Engine 3 software that the Elite uses. If you look around you will also find a full specification listing around on the bottom of the box as well.

Inside the packaging SteelSeries has put formed plastic on the top and bottom that is formed to the shape of the headset to keep it nice and secure. Up under the bottom plastic you will find a whole collection of accessories for the Siberia Elite as well.

The cables that come with the Siberia Elite as similar to what we saw with the 9H. The main difference, beyond the color, is with the Siberia Elite SteelSeries used the tangle free cord design that we saw previously on their Flux In Ear Pro earbuds. This is a change from the braided cords from the 9H and as much as I love the look of the braided cables, I do know how well the tangle free cables work though.

The Siberia Elite comes with an extension cord, a mobile adapter, a PC adapter (microphone and headphone plugs), and the USB sound card. The USB sound card can hook the Siberia Elites directly up or another headset if you would like as well.
