Is it just me or the SteelSeries Siebra V2 are PRETTY good? - Page 2

O_O

Sorry, I hate steelseries with a burning passion. Terrible company with terrible customer/product support with terrible products with terrible quality control. Even if the Siberia's sound half decent I wouldn't get them.

Speaking of the Siberia V2 you are correct in your review but i will push things a little more. The Siberia v2 are probably the best headphone under 100$ on the market today. These are just incredible value. I can't even think of a headphone under 300$ that i would prefer as an everyday allrounder headphone. They sound open, stage is wide and deep, definition and highs are sweet, mids are spot on, bass is dynamic and deep...Ohhh so deep. But most of all i find them uncolored AND fun... Something that is not easily achieved in the can world. Yeah they got a mic... Yeah they are red... And yeah they can put to shame most grados, shens, audiotechnicas, sonys etc... When i am finished with this post i am gonna order a second pair just in case the first one breaks. Yes they are that good.

Really don't think so...

Also, "uncolored" and "fun" don't go together. Ever.

Best under $300 for gaming? *cough HD598 and also AD900x maybe and DT880 and- cough* also note that i heard them, they sounded OKAY...(like any razer product, just a bit less bass and better overall response) the grados in that price will trash the living sound out of the Siberia

I saw a set of these cheap so came looking for info.

This is some good mis-information right here...

What are you comparing them to? My Uptowns are pretty good, My CAL's are pretty good, My HM5's are pretty good, although not enough bass for me.

So, please do go on, what exactly are you comparing them to that makes you concretely conclude there is no better set under that price?

Or are we talking about the functionality to have a built in mic and glowing lights (that you can't see when you're wearing)...

I also don't see the issue with calling something a gaming headphone, they have a USB only option, fold out mic, LED lights on the frost version), not likely to be for portable use, the company makes gaming accessories, I think Gaming is the EXACT MARKET FOR THESE, caps or not...

I owned this headset and listened to the most products same price or lower. In this range it has a very good sound but it sux compared to HiFi headphones ~100$. For example the Shure 750 is much better. (a seperat mic costs 10 to 30 $ depending on which kind u want)

Quality? it Broke after 1 Year. Never had to say far well that early to an electronical product. I would either spend more money for something better or safe money and buy for example Sennheiser PC150 which seems to be indestructable (had it for years untill it was stolen and friends of mine use these since many years) and sounds only a little worse,

How about I fix that for you. :P

When things ARE colored, they sound horrible. Why would you want so much extra bass or so much extra mids, or treble? It sounds horrible when its overly done, and the music sometimes ends up sounding lackluster when sections are recessed. Now, really high end headphones can pull off a lack of treble well, but you can't do that until you at least get into upper end mid-fi.

I had the chance to use the Siberias on a Lan and i was pretty disappointed. I switched back to the A700's. 

My friend broke his last headset, and he needs a new one. I really want to convince him to get something with higher sound quality, but whats more important to him is the mic. How quality is the mic on this for simple recordings (not studio quality, but at least well enough)?
 

Recordings of what?
