The Steelseries’ Diablo 3 Headset is designed like Steelseries’ Siberia model of headsets, but with a sexy Diablo 3 twist. It's extremely comfortable and thanks to Steelseries' over-the-head suspension technology the headset will easily fit around just about anyone's head without having to adjust it at all.

Across the headset’s over-the-head suspension you can see the D3 logo, and on the cans you’ll find some gorgeous D3-esque embellishments and it even glows. There are 18 LED lights on the headset with 4 different pulsating options. You can even make the lights mimick your in-game activity click by click...by click by click by click.

 

Unfortunately the sound quality isn’t that great with these. They do support 50mm drivers and a sport a leather covered noise reducing foam to keep sound out, so it isn’t that bad. They’re just not for people who need the best sound quality possible, (which you won't need for Diablo 3 anyway).

 

Of course the headset’s got a mic, since Steelseries knows you’re going to be playing Diablo 3 with some friends. The mic’s retractable but more importantly it’s got noise cancelling technology so your friends will always be able to hear you and not what’s going on around you.

Bottom Line: This headset is for those gamers who are going to be playing Diablo 3 on end for hours and hours and hours at a time, click click clicking their hearts out. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and durable. The sound quality’s definitely good enough for all your Diablo 3 needs, and the mic’s great for talking to your friends while you play. I’d absolutely recommend the headset.
