Met my high expectations. Very nice pair of headphones. As a owner of the siberia v2, I didn't expect the elite to be as comfortable, but they ARE after some adjustments. It's true that they did hurt my head after about an hour or so of use. The stainless steel frame was the reason for this as it applies more pressure than other headsets. The simple fix for this is pressing on the metal bands on the top of the headset to widen the ear cup width a little. This fixes that issue completely. These things are just as comfortable now as my previous favorite headset.
The sound is great after a few changes to the equalizer. The built in presets are really nice for playing certain games.(I used the fps preset and default). The lightning is great though I wish the color shift had more customization. The microphone works perfectly, no complaints there. The on headset volume mic controls as well as the cables and adapters are sleek.
I'd definitely recommend this headset over the new Siberia Elite because everything that the new headset fixed, I fixed on my own and saved 75 bucks($125 vs $200 on amazon plus the new elites have grey cushions blehhh) I'd also recommend this headset over the other siberias priced around 100 bucks. This thing has so many more features and functionality than the regular siberias. If you have the money for normal usb siberias you should really consider purchasing these puppies. As far as comfort goes any siberia headset beats any other headset on the market(trying on my friends' headsets and they all feel like rocks on your ears).

Good quality and perfect accept for one major thing...
So this is not the first headset I have gotten from steelseries, actually the first was the Siberia Elites. They were probably the best headset i have had and worked perfectly for about a year and a half. Now, I have heard that some people have the issue with the sound cutting out, I have not had this issue, the issue I encountered was the earcup fell off. (look at photos) Like i said this headset was perfect, I have not thrown or dropped it, just picked it up by the right earcup everyday for a year and a half, and that is enough for it to fall off... The white pair was the first headset I had, when the ear cup fell off I sent an RMA to steelseries because their audio products have a 2 year warranty. They sent me the second pair which wasn't the regular siberia elites but the next generation siberia elite prisms. The same thing happened about a year and a half later, I treated them exactly the same but it still broke. I did find that since the metal band on the top is very stiff if you put it on the metal band will hold the ear cup on anyways, but i was still very disappointed. I spent 200$ on this product back when it was first released. To have it break more than once was very annoying, I recommend saving your money, or treating it with lots of care, otherwise if it breaks, just sell it and by a different headset.***If you skipped thee reading, the problem was the right earcup fell of with two different headsets, I did not drop or throw the headset, Just picked it up with the right earcup for half a year and it broke, its only made of plastic, be careful, This also applies to the siberia elite prisms.***

As for sound.
The included usb sound card with dolby surround sounds really good. In game you get depth of field while people in teamspeak sound like they are sitting beside you and not mixed into the game sound.
The microphone has good sound and the mic. compression in the steelseries driver works well if you choose to use it.
The LED light on the ear cups can be customized or can run in patterns provided you are using the USB sound card.
Included comes an extension cord , adapters for standard phone jack and regular plugs for pc jacks.
As of Aug 2015 the inside of the ear piece has come unglued and separated with light to medium use. Picture shows the separation on the left ear and the right is just starting to separate. I must say I am surprised that this happened after such a short period of time.
