Help a noob! Siberia V2 or HARX900?!

Hi guys, this is my first post! Help please!

I'm buying a new "gaming" headset, with a price MAXIMUM of $70 (yes, I'm on quite a budget), so my question is:

Should I get the HARX 900, with the clip- on Zalmann mic, or the Steelseries Siberia v2?

Now I realize many audiophiles hate the moniker "gaming" because it's often misleading, but I've read good and bad reviews about both headsets. If neither of my headsets are suitable for gaming, do recommend something else. :D

I specifically picked the siberia v2's because the sound quality reviews seemed alright, and they look pretty cool.

I'm playing for the most part Starcraft 2 and some fps games, so positional audio would be appreciated.

Btw im running on REALTEK HD AUDIO :D yeah.

However, my system does have a THX trustudio pro utility that does seem to help audio quite a bit. 

Thanks guys!

I had the Syberia V2 for quite a long time. They sound quite good for their price range, and the added practicity of having the microphone can be quite good sometimes. But the best thing was the confort - you can barely feel then on your ears, even after 5+ hours of usage. The 5.1 positional audio was OK, nothing very impressive. But I'd say they are the best gaming headphones for general usage out there.

 

I'd only go for the clip microphone if you really want more expensive cans.

Thanks for the quick response.

I still haven't really decided, but have added a couple of more contenders for my buck...

 

Panasonic RP-HTF600-S

Samson SR850

JVC HARX900

siberia v2?!

I really like the siberias, I've read some reviews by gamers about the positional audio.

Quality and positional audio are my main concerns... 

moar suggestions?
