Want to upgrade my SS headset.
I dunno if I should go for 4H, Siberia(v1), or 5H.
Mostly gaming but I want to use for MP3 player also..

I've read so many reviews but I prefer to hear from you guys.

budget preferably around RM300+/-

*or should I wait for 4xb, 5xb? (they look so cool)

yup. they look very cool. the specs say that they have 3.5mm jacks, so mp3 shouldn't be a problem. I think people will kill them if they made a headset that cannot be used for mp3 players laugh.gif
As for the 4xb right.. the ones i saw online had a steelseries logo on the cup. How come these ones don't have? hmm.gif

ASSUMING the 5xb has the same construction and specs as the 5h v2, i don't think it'll be that suitable.. tried it with my Zen Micro and the Sansa Clip+ only to found out that the sound is very weak, especially in the bass region.

so u might consider getting a portable amp if you're going to pursue that idea.. nod.gif

Definitely go for the Siberia.

The 4xb and 5xb if you noticed are just re-badged 4H and 5H redesigned to function natively with the Xbox.

The Siberia is actually made more for music as well while the H series has been optimized for gaming.

I think it handles natural bass quite well. Then again, I'm not really into hard thumping bass so much.

Better get the stuff now while the items are still from Inter-Asia. Stores may drop SS products if Inter-Asia are no longer the distro.

I see.
I've had the chance to test out my friend's SiberiaV1. The audio is pretty good, but I don't think I can judge it based on a few minutes of listening. Is V2 significantly better than V1? Price difference a lot.
3H is killing my ears. SO TIGHT sweat.gif

Well I have both, I definitely think V2 is more comfortable. Sound quality is slightly better than the V1 as well. I feel it's richer and has a more distinct sound due to the 50mm sound drivers? Well it's not audiophile quality but it definitely feels great to wear.

I see. I guess that justifies the higher price. Basically, it's an improved version of the Siberia. Are u interested in selling off one of them? PM me and we maybe can work out a price.. biggrin.gif

Never tried Piranha.. but 3H squashes my ears cos it's ON my ears and not AROUND them.

v1 flaws? ohh. so v2 more bass? cos i noticed that v1 has a very average, passable bass only.

while gaming, yes.

v1 or v2? According to the others, v2 has improved, so maybe the bass will be ok. Not audophile, of course, but one of the better "regular" all-round headsets.

thanks for all the replies. will research more before spending the RM300+/-.
you all know right, how it sucks when you regret an expensive purchase. you get this sinking feeling in the stomach.
