Wasn't this headset once known as the Icemat Siberia? Yeah, it was. We launched both SteelSeries and Icemat back in 2001 and decided to consolidate products and branding in 2007. It's still the same award-winning product. What the difference between this headset and the H-line (5H v2, 4H and 3H) of SteelSeries headsets? We designed this headset for multi-functionality. Everything from the separate microphone to the cord length on this product was designed so you can use it both for playing games and use it with MP3 players, handheld consoles and such. And, as you might have noticed, the visual design makes a somewhat bigger statement about personality.
Great Headset! I have gone through a bunch of headsets, Plantronics, Logitechs, and Sennheisers, all of them broke between the period of 6 to 12 months. Recently, my Steelseries 5HV2 broke, (well, the audio on the right ear piece went out). This headset is replacing the 5HV2 I had. I love the styling of this headset, definitely an eye pleaser and unique in its own way. Furthermore, I finally get to hear what bass sound like. All the headsets I used in the past were lacking in the bass department, even the 5HV2; however, this headset takes the crown. This headset is great for playing first person shooters and listening to music. I'm very pleased with my purchase. Comfort and Style I'll make this simple: If you enjoy both a well constructed and comfortable set of head phones - look no further. These babies get the job done. The people who designed the Steel Series Siberia full size headset actually remembered that mostly humans would be using their creation. Comfort and style - what a concept. And, the sound is excellent. As a bonus, this headset comes with an unobtrusive and useful microphone built into the cable extension. This is a well thought out product. Highly recommended. Not very stylish, but comfortable and sounds great Despite what many reviews say regarding these headsets, they are not what I would call stylish. However, when I am listening to music or gaming I am not really looking to impress people so the styling is a minor point to me. The sound quality is good, if not just a little bit lacking in the bass department. With this, however, it is very easy to hear many sounds that were more subtle or not as noticeable with other headsets, which can be especially good for FPS or similar games. The unit comes with two options for your cord length, 3ft (shorter than you think,) or more cable than most will ever need, looks like about 10ft worth or more. This amount of cable just sits on the ground by my computer and I worry about rolling over it with my chair, but it can be useful having this larger amount. The shorter amount is perfect for ipod or airplane length. The headset is very comfortable to wear for extended periods and I have not had any issues with ear comfort. One of my only real complaints about the headset is that it is an open style headset, so you will get a little bit of noise from your environment in your set. It is minimal but noticeable. It was actually mentioned before I purchased them, but it was difficult to get an accurate estimation of how much this would affect me. It would probably still purchase these again even with that drawback, however.
