SteelSeries Siberia v2 Full-Size Gaming Headset - (Black)

The sound is a little heavy on bass, but the dynamic range is fantastic. Music sounds amazing in these headphones. I plug it into a speaker set which has separate bass and treble adjustments, and turn the bass down about 10% from default sound, and leave treble at default. My old headset I had both bass & treble turned way up to mimic some dynamic range. The retractable microphone extends out a little further than you can see in any of the pictures online, so it works as a boom mic which stops about an inch from the corner of your mouth. The mic's stalk is bend-able for positioning. The mic's sound quality is "superb"... so many devices skimp on mic quality (even some crazy expensive phone's I've owned), but this headset has a really nice sound quality from the mic. It also doesn't pic up background noise very much at all. Ideal. The retracting feature on the mic's stalk is nice for those who may not want a mic on their headset, or only want one part time. Comfort is good but not perfect. But it's generally true that over-the-ear full coverage headsets are not strong on long term wear comfort. I'd say this headset is above average in comfort for heavier headsets. This is the one spot I'd give them 4 out of 5 stars, but it's not nearly enough to knock a star off the cumulative rating. The in-line volume adjust and mic on/off switch are small and simple, but they have a more premium feel than some other headsets I have had. The cable feels reasonably solid. I hope that it lasts, I go through headphone cables pretty fast. The cable splits into two lines (mic & speaker wires) fairly close to the headset (about 1meter/3feet from the headset) terminating in plugs. And then a second split/double wire plugs into those plugs and is actually quite long, giving the cord a lot of reach. This may be handy for those who are plugging their headphone speaker wire in at a different location than their microphone. For example, I can plug the phones into the desktop speakers, and the mic into the back of the computer. Also, possibly, having extra plugs near the headphones might act as a sort of 'break-away' safety to protect the headphones wires from yanking when dropped (not sure). For sub-100 dollar headphones, I'm very happy with them. Should have gotten them ages ago.

I'm not a big headset enthusiast, so I don't know much about the technicality of the headset compared to others, but I do know that I love them. Previous to owning these I owned a Logitech G230, which were total ****. They were much more uncomfortable, I got better sound quality and bass out of earbuds, and the mic was annoying to mess with. Furthermore, I accidentily sat on them in the dark once and they snapped in half, and I'm not a very heavy person. Instead of getting a new pair, I decided to upgrade. With these, they are comfortable, they have great sound quality (for my purposes at least), they look pretty slick, and they are much more sturdy. In fact, shortly after buying these ones I accidentily sat on them (lol) and these ones didn't break! As for what I use them for, I listen to a lot of music and I also play a lot of csgo. For those of you who play csgo, you can confirm that being able to tell where people are coming from via footsteps is a HUGE advantage. With these I can hear people clearly and easily. As for music, I have no complaints. Then again, I don't know what $500 headphones sound like so I can't really compare these to anything but junky $10 headphones. These are better. I have owned these headphones for several months and they are holding up really well. Pros Sound Quality Long Cord Length Being able to retract the mic is incredibly handy for when you aren't gaming Volume control on cord Comfort Looks Cons I wish the cord without the extension was about a foot or two longer for my setup at least

The steel series Siberia v2 headset packs a lot of quality for the money. I picked this headset up on Cyber Monday for $50, along with an Astro Pro Mix amp. My review of this headset will contain both the use of the astro mix amp, and without. So I want to keep this more focused on gaming, since this is a gaming headset. I can't tell you how angry it makes me reading reviews on gaming headsets where the reviewer is just talking about how great or terrible it sounds listening to classical music, when all you want to know is how well it performs while gaming! I will include a bit about music, but I won't wax on about it. So I've previously owned Turtle Beach x1, TB x3 (wireless), and Tritton AX pro headsets. I can say with great confidence these blow all of them combined out of the water! I also have experience using the Astro A40, and Sennheiser PC360s (Currently called the G4ME One) both with Astro Mix amp. Far and away the Mix amp with PC 360 is the best setup I've ever experienced (For gaming). ------------------------------- Siberia V2 without mix amp tested on PC with AC Unity, Battlefield 4, and Left for Dead 2: *Good sound stage for positional Audio. Caught a few people sneaking up on me, but got caught a lot when a lot of sound was happening. Could not tell whether enemies were up high or low, but could hear them walking all around me. *Kind of quite compared to what I am use to, but still loud enough to make gaming enjoyable. *The Lows are very dominant, but not overwhelming. They Handle the blends of highs mids and lows all happening at the same time, without the sounds all bleeding together, or cutting out like some headsets (Astro A40). *Microphone works well, and friends noted that I sounded allot clearer and louder than before (which sometimes isn't always good) *Very Comfortable once broken in. Can wear them for hours and hours. I was worried about the ear pad material making my head sweat, but it doesn't. Before they were broken in, they clamped to my head and pressed together a bit too hard, but not much of an issue now that they are broken in. ------------------------------ Siberia V2 With Astro Mix amp tested with Battlefield 4 on Xbox 360, and PC with AC Unity, Battlefield 4, and Left for Dead 2: *Great sound Stage for positional Audio. Noticeably better than without the mix amp (I run with the clean EQ). With some Juice, these things BANG! I could hear people or zombies sneaking up on me allot easier with other sounds banging in the headset. In battlefield, I could hear people running all around, And had an easier time telling where enemies were. Still had the problem of not being able to tell if they were high or low. * The lows were still more dominant, but the mids and highs sounded much better! No bleeding or smearing tones at all. Everything was very well defined, but the bass being more dominant, sucks sometimes for FPS gaming. Was awesome for Assassins Creed Unity. Makes it way more cinematic, and thus more enjoyable. *Microphone, of course, no difference. ------------------------------ So the Headset by itself is good, but pump a bit more juice to it, and add Headset virtual surround, and they come to life! This is the least expensive headset I've ever purchased, but the best sounding. Forget Triton, forget Turtle beach. Comparing to the other High end sets in the Astro A40s, and the Sennheiser PC360s, I would say this is an incredible bang for your buck headset, but not the go to for a highest quality audio setup. Compared to the Astro A40s: *They sound way better overall. Better sound stage, better defined tones, however... With the Mix amp, The A40s barely edges out the Siberia V2 for positional queues, which I believe is the biggest factor for FPS games. The A40 however does have issues with allot of sounds happening simultaneously and the Highs are very dominant. So if there is an explosion, footsteps your tracking, gunfire and friends talking, it all sort of blurs together and sounds god awful. The Siberia V2 handles everything very well, and keeping everything better defined. Dollar for Dollar between the two, plain and simple.. Siberia V2 all the way. Compared to the PC 360s: Without the mix amp, I definitely prefer the Siberia V2. With the mix amp, however.... The PC 360 wins by a large margin. The only thing the PC360 doesn't do as well is bass. But for gaming audio, too much bass can make you audibly blind for seconds at a time, and that's just when someone will sneak up and take you out. The PC360 with mix amp is hands down the best audio system I've ever experienced in gaming. Handles all sounds perfectly defined, and you can hear if something or someone is dropping in on you, or something from any direction, as well as how far away that sound is. It's absolutely amazing! Sorry for rambling there, I'm just a big fan of that configuration. But you're talking a $330 ($200 for the headset $130 for the Amp) config vs $180. Sound Stage: 7/10 Overall sound: 8/10 Comfort: 7/10 Finally, the music review section. Audiophiles who review gaming headsets against listening to music will love this detailed review: It sounds good..... (lol) Hip-Hop and Dub step are the standout genres, especially with an amp. Hope this helps someone out, who was in my position of wanting to find a quality headset for gaming audio, across multiple platforms, but didn't want to break the bank. If you have any questions or would like further information, write me a comment and I'll get back to you.

I had a friend recommend these to me and I've had them for almost a month now. All I can say is it's simply amazing! I can wear this headset for hours at a time without feeling uncomfortable or needing to take a break from them. The over ear design fits perfectly over my ears (I have slightly small ears) and doesn't irritate my industrial piercing! The auto-adjustable head piece doesn't hurt at all after long period of use. Though if you like to style your hair with volume, it will leave and indentation in your hair. I also like the retractable mic. I've been using it quite frequently, almost several times a day since I've own this, and there's no wear or damage to it whatsoever. I'm not a sound expert, but the sound quality is very nice from what I hear with it. I really like the fact I can manually shut off my mic and lower the volume whenever I need to. I did think it was a usb type headset, but it uses the headphone and mic jacks instead. Be aware of that. The cord is pretty long, 3 meters (1m with a 2m extension), and pretty strong. I've tripped on it (I'm very clumsy, lol) and gotten it caught on numerous things and haven't bent or pulled the wires out of it yet! And I'm not gentle with my headsets.

I purchased the SteelSeries Siberia v2 Headset after my Logitech G35 broke (it fell off my desk one night and broke apart, still technically works, though) after over 2 years of continuous use. I was very satisfied with my G35 (which I think I paid about $130 for at the time), but I thought that I might be able to find comparable quality at a lower price point. I'd always seen SteelSeries (and specifically the Siberia) advertised since I follow some professional gaming, so I thought I'd look into it. With the reviews and sub-$60 price, I thought this was an easy choice. When I first put the headset on, it definitely felt different. Not bad; just different. I was used to the relatively high-weight of my old headset, whereas these felt like nothing. The cups fit nicely over my ears, and the band did manage to fit my larger-than-average head. So I'd give the fit full points alone. However (and, now, I'm not sure if this was an error in the product I was sent, or I just didn't get the full gist of the product from the description), there were a few things off with the headset. Firstly, I noticed that the finish on the large plastic pieces was matte, while the picture leads me to believe they have a glossy finish. This, actually, was a bonus for me. I've seen a lot of people complain about the glossy finish. As I set up the headset to use, I noticed there were more things off about it. The in-line controls just weren't there. The cable attached to the left ear-cup was about two feet long (not nearly long enough), and then it just terminated in two 3.5 mm jacks. A sound card (?) was included with it that had jacks for the headset cable, and the card itself ended in a USB and another 3.5 mm jack. The sound card looked *kind of* like the in-line controls that were in the picture (it had a mute switch and volume rocker), but as you can see, the picture doesn't show a two-in-one-out setup of wires like the sound card I received did. The card was also a lot bigger than the controls I thought it would have, and having it two feet down the line and not somewhere where I can easily reach it (albeit, I was spoiled with my G35, as it had a mute button and volume rocker directly on the left ear-cup) just wouldn't do. That's where these weird dissimilarities end. When I went to set it up, I had the headset on (it was pretty comfortable). I plugged the 3.5's into the card, then the USB into my computer, followed by the last 3.5. And I just heard this light buzzing. Now, I can heard strangely high pitches, so I can't confirm whether or not anyone else can hear it, but it was definitely there. I booted up a game to test it out. I'm not an really audiophile, but the sound quality was OK. The bass was full, but didn't wash out the treble. They weren't particularly different from my $5 Panasonic ear-buds. And the quality was strange in non-game media. Youtube videos sounded off. Something with the EQ made someone talking in a normal setting sound synthetic. And I just couldn't get over that buzzing. So, I tried plugging the headset in by *just* the 3.5 mm jacks. This stopped the buzzing. It was totally fine. I went back and forth between the card and just the jacks, and the same things resulted every time. And there was no noticeable difference in sound quality. One other thing: there were some weird interactions with the FN-volume controls on my keyboard. Like, I turned the volume up that way, but it only turned up one of the settings in the mixer, which was not the one that controlled the volume of my headset. I honestly can't say anything about the mic because I didn't use it. It's a secondary feature for me, and as long as I have a mic that my friends and teammates can hear me with, I'm fine. So now I had a choice: use the sound card and be plagued by the buzzing, or have myself restricted to a two-foot cable and not be able to adjust my volume settings. My choice was to return the product. I miss my G35. I think it might be worth it to get another. Just checked Amazon and you can get one for less than $100. Bottom line: Definitely not worth the MSRP, and even at this price, I'd rather spend more to get a better product. Something that you potentially spend multiple hours on end having on your head and pleasuring your ears should be a good product through-and-through, and the Siberia v2 just doesn't meet my standards.

The build quality on these are superb, I've had them for about a year now, and haven't had any problems. The short cord is ideal for me, it's practically impossible to trip over it, and if for some reason you do need the extra length, it comes with an extension cable that does its job. The cuffs are relatively comfortable, although it may get a bit irritating after prolonged use. The band on the top is probably my favorite part of the entire product. It is truly a one size fits all; every other headset I've had, I'm always in the awkward head size in between intervals (ticks), so none has ever fit as good as this pair. The sound quality is very nice on these, catching very nice mids and highs, and some decent Bass. The microphone is very high quality, it blocks out most, if not all, light to moderate background noise (even some loud ones), and I actually like how my voice sounds through these. It is also a nice addition that the microphone is adjustable in length and orientation. TL;DR: Pretty comfortable, high-quality headset (both in input and output sound quality).

Based on some of the other reviews about these headphones having an excellent fit for large heads, the sound quality being excellent, etc. I ordered them to replace my Fatal1ty HS-1000 headset which I find uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. The basic fit of the Siberia V2 headset is roughly the same as the HS-1000, which is to say "slightly too tight" for me. In addition, the retractable mic is slightly too short for me and at full extension doesn't come far enough to pick up my voice at a decent level unless I shout, or wear the headset so that the left cuff is sitting on my ear rather than around it, neither of which are acceptable options. The boom of the HS-1000 is maybe a half inch longer, which gives adequate play to get the microphone forward of my mouth where it picks up my voice easily.

Steelseries makes many excellent products, this being one as well, but there is one key area this headset fails to deliver and unfortunately that is in quality of audio. If you're looking for the two in one combo (headphones and built-in microphone) then at this price range the Siberia V2 is highly recommended but if you can live with headphones and a clip-on mic the Audio Technica AD700 & Zalman Clip-On Mic is a vastly superior combination. Steelseries Sibera V2 Pros: Extremely comfortable. Very well built. High quality microphone. One of the most comfortable headsets that will fit any sized head. A very adequate cable length (minus the included extended cable.) An easy to reach and unobtrusive volume and microphone control device. Excellent for hip-hop and dubstep. Steelseries Sibera V2 Cons: Average quality highs. (Sound) Below average quality mids. (Sound) Above Average quality lows. (Sound) Poor soundstage. Not very good at all for gaming due to overall sound, particularly in FPS's. To put it simply the Siberia V2s just aren't very loud when it comes to anything other than bass. Bass drowns out vital in-game sounds, especially in first person shooters. Those explosions sound so cool! Too bad I couldn't hear the guy sneaking up behind me nor what direction he came from. Superior options at a cheaper price. Icemat Siberia Headset (clip-on microphone included). Steelseries bought Icemat, their current headset design is based off Icemat. $30 on EBay. JVC HARX700 headphones (no mic) $40 on Amazon. Zalman Clip-On Mic $7.90 (free shipping) Amazon seller. Steelseries Siberia Headset (V1, identical to Icemat Headset with clip-on microphone but it has the Steelseries box and logo on the headband) $70 on Amazon. The best option. Audio Technica AD700. In terms of design, comfortable level, soundstage, highs, mids, lows, and usefulness in games the AD700s are unbeatable at this price range. They fluctuate between $89-$98 on Amazon and the Zalman Clip-On Mic is $7.90 flat. If you have a small head the rubber band mod will set you right and after 100 hours of burn-in, which is when you'll get 100% of the audio quality for these headphones you'll never want another pair.

C'est le deuxième casque Steelseries Siberia v2 que j'achète. Le premier avait tenu environ 3 ans en utilisation intensive. Le casque est très confortable et le micro est de bonne qualité (plusieurs de mes interlocuteurs m'en ont fait la remarque). Le son est bien équilibré (faut juste rajouter un peu de basses via un égalisateur et c'est parfait). Les frottements sur le câble ne génèrent aucun bruit dans les écouteurs. Le casque dispose d'une isolation correcte vis à vis des bruits environnants mais sans plus (j'aurai espéré un peu mieux de la part d'un casque circum-aural). Le Siberia v2 s'adapte tout seul à votre tête (convient aussi bien aux petites qu'aux grosses têtes) et ne provoque aucun douleurs aux oreilles après plusieurs heures d'utilisation. Je n'ai constaté aucun gros point négatif sur le Siberia v2 (que j'utilise depuis des années). J'aurai juste apprécié une meilleure isolation aux bruits environnants et quelques motifs en relief sur le bouton pour couper le micro car par moment il n'est pas simple à enclencher.

Su calidad no me ha asombrado mucho puesto que ya venía de unos sennheiser de gama media, pero decir que es muy buena. Distingo sonidos que antes me costaba distinguir, por lo tanto en calidad de sonido cumple y muy bien. Su micrófono no me ha impresionado pero es de una calidad aceptable para aquel que busca simplemente comunicarse con éste, en mi caso no me hace falta el micro puesto que tengo el Blue snowball. En comodidad, al principio aprieta un poco las orejas pero en poco tiempo se adapta perfectamente a la cabeza y es como si no los llevaras puestos, ya que son muy ligeros. Lo único que le puedo poner de pega es su cable y un ruido que hace al quitarse los cascos. El cable podría estar hecho de mejor calidad, pero no es de gran importancia esto. Y al quitármelos hace un ruido, pero como digo estos dos problemas son de menor importancia. Lo recomiendo especialmente a los que buscan jugar en PC largas horas con ellos puestos, ya que no hacen daño una vez que se adaptan.

Greatest Headphones EVER MADE and Being a Professional Gamer I use it EVERYDAY! With my experience from Steelseries Siberia Version 1 i wanted to get better after it stopped working; I ordered the V2 and Its built, Quality, Comfortable Ear Cups with Cushion factor, I Simply LOVE IT! Its been an YEAR over since i have ordered these and during long Gaming sessions i dont even feel they are on my Head; Its Head Strap Is comfortable and If you are going to Use a Mid Level Gaming Headphones Believe me its the BEST EVER than Available Razer or any other of this range. Just Go For It...

|||Vorweg:||| Ich war schon länger auf der Suche nach einem Headset mit dem ich Gamen kann das aber auch bei Filmen ein Genuss ist. Vorher verwendete ich meinen Pioneer HDJ-1000 DJ Kopfhörer, da dieser auch bei langen Sessions guten Komfort bot. Nachteil: Ein Standmikro musste her und das hat mir auf Dauer einfach nicht gefallen. Deshalb musste der SteelSeries ran. |||Erster Eindruck:||| Beim Auspacken ist mir nichts weiter negativ aufgefallen, die Verpackung ist auf einen guten optischen, hochwertigen Eindruck getrimmt, schützt das Headset aber auch gut für den Transport. Filigrane Teile wie der Lautstärkeregler mit Mute-Button für das Mikro sind extra nochmal eingepackt: gefällt mir. |||Anschluss und Inbetriebnahme:||| Postiver Eindruck hierbei: Das eigentliche Kabel mit dem Regler und Mute Button ist relativ kurz, wobei es sich wohl für Laptops eigenen soll, damit nicht 2 Meter Kabel auf dem Tisch rumliegen. Ich betreibe das Headset an einem Big-Tower PC und brauche daher ein etwas längeres Kabel da ich es links an der Tastatur vorbeilege und mein PC aber rechts unter dem Tisch steht. Obwohl ich mit dem Kabel durch meinen Kabelschacht gehe reicht das Kabel vollkommen, die Ideale länge für Desktop PC's. Die Stellen an denen sich das Kabel in Mikro und Stereo Signal aufteilt wirken hochwertig. Der Clue: nach dem kurzen Kabel ist ein langes Kabel als Verlängerung bereits angebracht, welches auf Wunsch aber entfernt werden kann. So haben weder PC noch Laptop Nutzer keine Kompromisse mit herumliegenden Kabel oder zu kurzen Kabeln. Ich betreibe das Headset an einer Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Extreme Music; eine etwas ältere aber solide Soundkarte. Ich verwende einen modifizierten PAX Treiber damit das Ding auch unter Win7-64 bit läuft. Es gab keine Probleme beim Anschließen, Mikro und Tonübertragung haben sofort gut funktioniert. |||Verhalten und Eindruck im Betrieb (Games, VoiP, Filme, Musik):||| Zuerst habe ich im Teamspeak getestet wie denn die Sprachqualität des Mikros ist, da die Rezensionen doch sehr auseinandergehen. Von Rauschen bis zu perfekter Qualität ist alles dabei. Als Testperson diente mir ein befreundeter DJ der einerseits selbst einen ausgezeichneten Kopfhörer betreibt um über Sprachqualität urteilen zu können und der mir andererseits bestätigte, dass sich meine Stimme wesentlich klarer als bei meinem alten Mikro anhört und vor allem die Höhen besser übertragen werden. Das ist vor allem im Spiel hilfreich, da man auch was vom Partner oder Mitspieler hört wenn man unter Beschuss ist oder eine Explosion zu hören ist. Das Mikro kann man (was mir persönlich gut gefällt) bei Bedarf auch komplett im Headset verschwinden lassen. Das Kabel ist hierbei aus einem Metallschlauch mit vielen Segmenten gefertigt, darüber ist noch eine Kunststoffummantelung. Wirkt also damit sehr stabil und sicher. Wie sich das ganze im Praxisbetrieb auf Dauer auswirkt werde ich alle paar Monate hier aufführen, allerdings kann ich mir gut vorstellen, dass bei einem Mechanismus wie diesem, die Mechanik auf Dauer sehr beansprucht werden kann und das evtl. bis zum Kabelbruch oder Verlust der Gesprächsqualität führen kann. Dabei bleibt meiner Meinung aber angemerkt: Das ganze ist dafür ausgelegt, dass man z.B. nach dem Gamen beim Film schauen oder Musik hören, wenn man wirklich nicht in Skype oder Teamspeak ist, das Mikro einfährt und nicht alle 5 Minuten am Kabel rumfummelt und es rein und rausfährt. Wer natürlich in hektischer Manier das Kabel mehrmals pro Stunde vergewaltigt braucht sich nicht wundern wenn innerhalb der Garantiezeit Defekte auftreten. Das Produkt dann auch noch schlecht zu bewerten (obwohl man sich in der Garantiezeit befinden) entzieht sich meinem Verständis. |||Games:||| Getestet wurde Battlefield 3 mit Soundkarte (s.o.) und folgenden InGameSettings: Wartapes, Erweiterter Stereo Modus: AUS! Sehr wichtig. Soundkarten Einstellungen: Höhenfilter, MacroFX: Auto. Crystalizer: Empfohlen. Bass-Boost: Aktiviert Der Ton kommt hierbei sehr schön rüber, die Waffen drücken richtig bei jedem Schuss, Explosionen oder Panzerschüsse haben guten Bass, aber auch nicht übertrieben. Man höhrt im Gebäude wenn sich jemand von hinten ranschleicht. Im Gefecht ist das zwar schwerer zu hören aber mit etwas Training dennoch möglich. Auf jeden Fall ein Vorteil in nahezu jedem ordentlichen Multiplayer Shooter. Natürlich kann und sollte man je nach Soundkarte auch verschiedene Einstellungen ausprobieren. Wer eine andere Karte oder die selbe wie ich nur mit anderen Settings benutzt der soll einfach rumprobieren bis es ein gutes Hörerlebnis gibt. Anmerkung: Wer das Headset an einer OnBoardSoundkarte betreibt, verliert viel bei diesem Headset. Ich habe mal den Vergleich in Battlefield 3 gemacht und des wirkt dabei alles etwas belchern und schwach. Waffen klingen ungedämpft schon sehr schwach. Das führen viele auf das Headset zurück (auch in vielen Foren zu lesen): Man darf natürlich keine Wunder erwarten. Im Headset ist kein Soundchip oder ein AV Receiver. Wer viel aus nem Headset rausholen will braucht ne vernünftige Soundkarte Punkt. Keine Diskussion. |||VoiP:||| Wie bereits erwähnt ist die Übertragung im Teamspeak/Skype sehr gut. Allerdings betreibe ich das Mikro natürlich auch an meiner Soundkarte. Inwieweit der Boardchip davon abweicht muss man selbst testen. Mit gutem Chip ist die Qualität auf jeden Fall gut bis sehr gut. Es werden (bei meinen Einstellungen) keine Umgebungsgeräusche übertragen und Rauschen kommt auch nicht mit. Schöner klarer Sound. Es gibt beim Benutzen des Mikro-Mute-Buttons am Headsetkabel KEINE Rückkopplung im Teamspeak. Das hatte ich schon bei vielen Headsets und zeugt hier von guter Qualität. |||Musik und Filme:||| Ich nehme dies Kategorie mal zusammen, da sich doch viele Parallelen ergeben. Vorweg: Wer absolut audiophil ist und auch professionell im Bereich Audio&Video tätig ist, dem wird das Headset vermutlich nicht reichen, wenn man z.B. Heimkinoanlagen gewohnt ist. Es ist ein Stereo-Headset mit dem man durch Upmix-Methoden der Soundkarte viel rausholen kann, vor allem bei Ortung aber auch kein Wunder-Was-1000€-Headset. Ich benutze (auch wenn der Film die 5.1 Tonspur erlaubt) die Stereo-Tonspur mit entsprechenden Soundkarten-Settings und man wird nicht enttäuscht. Filme hören sich kraftvoll an. Bässe kommen da wo sie kommen sollen. Sprache ist gut verständlich und muss NICHT nachgeregelt werden. Wer SVM benutzt: Ich habs mal kurz getestet: Kein Problem mit diesem Headset. Beim Musikhören finde ich auch keinen nennenswerten Kritikpunkt. Weder beim einfach mal reinhören auf Youtube noch beim Editieren der Datenbank für Traktor. Soviel zum Höhrerlebnis. Nun folgt: |||Komfort:||| Mir war vor allem der Tragekomfort wichtig, denn was nützt das beste Headset wenn es drückt. Vorweg: wie es bei jeder Person einzeln aussieht, variiert natürlich, deshalb muss man solche Rezensionen mit Vorsicht genießen. Ich habe einen relativ großen Kopf mit größeren Ohren. Hatte also schon bedenken das da was nicht passen könnte. Im Gegenteil: Die Ohren werden gut umschlossen und der elastische Bügel passt sich der Kopfform gut an. Sehr angenehmes Gefühl. Kein Drücken und auch die Ohren werden NICHT heiß. Das hatte ich auch schon bei vielen Headsets die abschließen. Wenn dann werden sie warm aber nicht so, dass man Hitzewallungen bekommt. Ich hab das Headset mal dem ultimativen Dauertest unterzogen und gespielt, dann 3 Filme geschaut und dann noch Serien und Musik. Das dürften etwa 8 Stunden gewesen sein mit 4 Stunden am Stück das Headset am Kopf. Keine Probleme! Keine Druckstellen, kein drücken, keine Hitzeentwicklung. Aber das kommt natürlich auf die Kopfform an, also wer sich nicht sicher ist ob's denn passt es aber sonst kaufen würde -> Kaufen->Testen->Wenns nicht passt ->Zurückschicken / Sonst -> Behalten & Freuen! |||Zum guten Schluss ein Ré­su­mé:||| Ich finde das Headset sehr gut weil: - Guter Klang ohne übertriebene Tiefen,Mitten,Höhen! Gute Ansteuerung für Soundkarten - Gute Sprachqualität - Guter Komfort! Für Profigamer und Power-User gut geeignet - Preis ist für das was geboten wird absolut in Ordnung! (Man muss das natürlich auch in Relation sehen, viele leute erwarten für 60-80€ Teile aus Edelstahl oder schlichtweg kein Plastik, hier muss man realstisch sein und sich auch vor Augen führen, dass so ein Produkt vermarktet werden will) - Verarbeitung ist sehr gut. Keine auffallenden Gerüche oder scharfen Kanten! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Das wars von mir, wenn Du noch Fragen hast, oder ich ein Teilgebiet nicht angesprochen habe, der Grammarnazi Rechtschreibfehler findet oder andere Probleme anstehen, dann zögere nicht und schreib es in die Kommentare; ich werde dem ganzen dann schnell und (hoffentlich) kompetent nachgehen ;) Robz

Indecisa fra queste e le Kingston HyperX, ho seguito l'istinto e devo dire che non mi lamento della scelta fatta. Mi ha colpito nell'ordine: la leggerezza delle cuffie, la solidità dei materiali e non ultimo la qualità del suono che veramente ha superato le mie più rosee aspettative! Certo non si possono paragonare a cuffie di più alto livello (la differenza con le mie Akg si sente) ma il suono è ben definito, pieno e molto piacevole, sebbene come molte cuffie da gaming, indugi un po' troppo sui bassi. Altra cosa che mi premeva è che fossero comode, dovendole usare anche per qualche ora di seguito e portando io gli occhiali. Anche in questo si comportano egregiamente: l'imbottitura dei padiglioni è molto soffice e morbida e non soffro di alcun senso di tensione e/o pressione nè sulla testa nè sulle orecchie, nè mi sento le orecchie bollite una volta tolte :) Il microfono estraibile è molto comodo e a quanto detto da amici con cui ho fatto chiamate su Skype e ventrilo, la qualità audio è più che buona. Apprezzato inoltre il fatto che se capita di sistemare il microfono durante una conversazione, non si creano fastidiosi rumori che solitamente ammazzano le orecchie di chi ascolta. Non mi pronuncio sulla durata del microfono, proprio per il sistema di estrazione che ha ma data la sensazione di robustezza che dà, confido che duri.
