new siberia v2

by beAsty • 15 Oct 2009, 15:40 • Journals
i dont know if my old jorunal still exists (crossfire crash) where i searched for a new headset cause my sennheiser pc160 is going to die soon (and this time it is rly rly soon).

Last time u guys recommended me a sennheiser hd555.. but its 90€ + no mic = around 100-110€. But now i heard that there will bea new icemat siberia v2 which has a mic + some improved stuff:

http://www.steelseries.com/news/press_releases/steelseries_introduces_new_siberia_v2_headset

u guys think this headset will be better than my pc160 and maybe comperable with the hd555 ? Also anyone knows if this external soundcard is anygood? Or atleast better than the one in my laptop (asus g50vt-a1) ?

Thanks :)

which one , why & proofs :P

i rly belive that the hd555 is much better cause everyone says so.. but then i would need an external mic (which one) + alot of money :P

also this icemat has an external soundcard.. maybe that one is even better than the build in one in my notebook (altough i dont think so).

with this v2 version i thought it might became better than the old one and also comes to the point where u can call it a decent headset.. and propably compare if with smth like the hd555 :P

Speedlink Pure Voice, available in USB and normal connector. Got the same sound quality as any other good mic that's attached to a headset. Atleast noone complained about it, ever.

Oh, and the external Soundcard is MOST LIKELY just some really cheap usb soundcard with a steelseries design. You can get those USB cards for 1€ on ebay and I doubt it's better than your laptop onboard sound. Same goes to the whole headset, as I really doubt they improved the soundquality to standards anywhere close to Sennheiser.

hmm that one looks good + cheap

and what do u thnik of the hd555 ? is it rly that good? any other headset you would recommend?

if not i will order the hd555 tomorrow and try to play with it + with the mic of my pc160 (maybe i can fix it somehow on the hd555.. i dont rly wanna waer 2 headsets). if that doesnt work i will buy the speedlink pure voice.

The hd555 will outperform ANY headset on the market (except the Qpad headset, which is an original Beyrdynamic anyway).

And before I try to glue a 2€ mic on my 70€ headphones, I would think about spending another 10-15€ on that table mic :-P

hmm guess you are right.. but maybe i dont need to glue it.. "kabelbinder" ftw ! :D

and which qpad headset do u mean?

@edit: nvm just orderd the hd555 + pure voice mic.. 111€ as amazon wants 17€ for package + shipping of a 5€ mic -.-

Try the Zalman ZM-MIC 1.
You can clip it on the headset cord. A friend of mine uses it, works fairly good. (I use my old pc131 around the nec as mic but if I were to change i would probably take this)

Why you need super uber extra headset? I have e5 for 30zl(7euro(?)) and its fine for me. I don't know, you think that you will be fucking uber player with that or something? The same is with mouses, every one buys razer or logitech because they think that they will pwn with it, but they are wrong. You don't need expensive stuff to be good.

did he say that he wanna pay 100 euros just to become a better player? no? maybe he just wants a decent headset and decent sound quality.

if he only wanted a QUALITY he would go for something without MIC , as you can see he wants to play games more seriously .

besides yes you improve with a better headset.. i had a 15€ headset and bought a pc160 after it.. and i could clearly hear my enemy better with the pc160

555 ftw

table mics are far better far cheaper and break much less often than the headset mics :<

I have been using Icemat Siberia black for 2,5 years now and it has started to fall in pieces. :(

Could someone recommend me a good headset, max. price 80e? No need for microphone on it, but good sound quality would be n1ce.
