If you have other SteelSeries products, the SSE3 covers most of them, so you'll only need to launch this one app to be able to configure all your SteelSeries devices.Firmware updates are also a breeze with the SteelSeries Engine. You just won't be able to customize profiles, audio frequencies, LEDs, and such without it. Of course, you don't actually need to install either one of those applications if you don't want.
But the new SteelSeries Engine 3 has since been released, and while not compatible with many of their older devices, it *is* compatible with the Siberia v2 Frost Blue headphones and is a significantly better piece of software than SSE2. You can also have it change the preset base on what specified applications are launched (with customized equalizer settings and all that).With the SteelSeries Engine 2, I felt like it was a little bit bloated and wasn't a huge fan of running it all the time. If you need to record your next platinum album however, you might need a pricier, dedicated microphone.*SteelSeries Engine Software*The SteelSeries Engine software is what you will need to download and install to be able to customize audio presets and LED behavior (steady pulsing, slow, fast, bright, dim, light up to beat of music, disable completely, etc). If you're using the mic for team chat or just talking over Skype or whatever, it provides a nice clear audio signal and definitely gets the job done. I also love that it retracts into the headset to keep it hidden when not using it. The USB cable is on the short side, but with an extension you'll have plenty of slack.The microphone isn't studio-level (though you shouldn't expect it to be), but it works perfectly for what it is designed for: communicating. Very comfortable.*Microphone*I really like having the mic and volume controls in the cable rather than on the ear, or only through software. The Siberia v2 is comfortable on my ears and my head, and I could easily wear them for a few hours before wanting a break.
I came from a headset that had way too much tension and overly padded headband that just made them uncomfortable, not fit well, and gave me a headache after about 20 minutes of use. The LEDs are implemented perfectly and really are what seal the deal on this product's visually satisfying aesthetic.*Comfort*When I first put these on, I instantly fell in love, just for the comfort element. But there are still good ways and bad ways to make a product out of plastic. I've been using these for several months now, and I'm still loving them as much as the day I opened them.*Construction*Yes, these are mostly plastic.
