bro, just an advice.
Go do a full burn in at least with 100 hours for headphones before giving a proper sound signature review. tongue.gif
300 hours is the best.
Because I suppose ur Kave is new ? And new headphone doesn't sound nice for alllll headphone. tongue.gif

but the review layout is nice to see. very neat thumbup.gif

You mean it would sound better or worse after 300hours? That's 12 and a half days sad.gif

yaya... what j-sun is right.
It will sound better after burn-in. Well for me at least. I also testing headphone when fresh out of box vs burnt-in biggrin.gif
100 hours will do basically. Just leave ur headphone with mid level noise... dont too loud.. later voice coil crack laugh.gif

Yep, will only work if USB is plugged in. It acts as a power source to the EQ/Volume control unit while the unit power up the Kave.

If the Siberia V2 has got better audio quality then go for it but if you're looking for surround sound headsets then Kave.

Thanks for the review.
btw. I got the Kave exactly the same time as you. Scary, I know. I saw you post in the forums yesterday at 7pm. The same time as me.

Looks like we're the first two in Malaysia. Or at least, the first two who bothered to post. hahahaa

notworthy.gif I just got my Roccat Kave yesterday after placing my order for like 5 months ago through Moderno laugh.gif. I don't regret waiting for that long though.. This is a fine gaming headset.

Wanna borrow my Elite PRO and test again? brows.gif.

After reading others' review about V2 I would recommend Kave any time. The audio quality for V2 is more or less the same as its predecessor while the price tag flies up from RM350 to almost RM500.

Download/Play Kave's mic sample at http://www.cruxiaer.com/audio/KaveMic-03.wav. I sound like a noob doh.gif

So how is it? I don't have Siberia's and Piranha's for comparison.

Of course with USB plugged in.

Yeap can work but what'd you mean by choosing direction? If you only plug in green then surely only have front left/right+sub(2.0/2.1).

Actually quite confused with what he's asking, lolz.
Just to be sure, only work if you plug in both USB and 3.5mm jacks. Not gonna work if you only plug in USB w/o the jacks.

Edit : Btw, good review, Silverfire.

Got it captain, you can land your plane now on railway number 13.

It sounded really clear like those used in plane and watchtower communication.
