SIBERIA V2 FOR PS3

NOISE REDUCTION
The earcups feature a noise reducing foam, which helps you to focus on the important audio or voice communication, and not being disturbed or interrupted by outside noise.
QUALITY DRIVER UNITS
It’s one thing to have a beautiful exterior, but it’s what’s inside that makes these one of the best quality headsets on the market. A 50mm driver unit with crystal clear sound in high, low, and mid-range ensures quality output for multiple uses.

RETRACTABLE MICROPHONE
The Siberia v2 for PS3 features a retractable microphone that can be hidden in the left earcup, which means you can use it when you need it, but don’t have to flash it in public if you don’t want to.
XBOX 360® READY
For Xbox 360 game play, the headset also comes with a SteelSeries AudioMixer™, which allows for voice compatibility through the Xbox 360 controller.

VOLUME CONTROL
The integrated volume controller found on the 12ft cord offers easy access to sound volume, microphone volume and SteelSeries LiveMix™.
STEELSERIES LIVEMIX™
SteelSeries’ LiveMix™ feature is now accessible to all platforms from Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 to PC and Mac.
THE 4 LIVEMIX™ SETTINGS
The LiveMix levels range from OFF, which is unaltered in-game and voice sound to LOW (game sound is reduced by 5db when your teammates are talking), MEDIUM (game sound is reduced by 15db), to HIGH (game sound is reduced by 25db). By providing optional levels of LiveMix, users will have the ability to control how much of the game sound they want to hear balanced over the voice communication.

Packaging
First of all I wanted to talk about the packaging….
SteelSeries improved a lot just by the packaging . They are now well packed this time   
[attachmentid=2114423][attachmentid=2114425]
1st Pic : On the left is the new Neckband,The right one is the old neckband
2nd Pic : Improved Neckband Box (Superior Comfort and Sound..WITH STYLE ..HELL YEAH!)

What is Inside The Box?
Siberia Neckband I-Edition has no mic extension and xbox 360 connector..Why? Because its made for I-Products and NOT XBOX! So don’t complain
Other than that it comes with the usual (The Usual : Sticker, Product Catalog, Quick Start Guide and a document about DON’T USE THE HEADSET TOO MUCH OVERTIME! ) 
[attachmentid=2114427]

Performance

Music
Performance wise both neckband is probably the same..The newer version had a better bass than the old neckband..Not by heaps but still its has improvements 
Mic quality wise..I tested it using an ipod touch and I cant tell if there is any difference. The mic is as clear as all other SteelSeries Headsets
The Volume Controller has a quite nice tactile feeling… (NOT USEABLE ON PC.ONLY FOR I-PRODUCTS!!)

Gaming Wise
The new Neckband has a slightly better…I can hear footsteps coming around me..But still its not as good as the 5Hv2 but its great for a music-gaming headphones
Mic Quality? Well it just worked well..I used it in Counter Strike 1.6 and see if the mic picks up well…Honestly it picks up quite well

Devices
I have used it on 3 different portable devices.
1. Handphone: For this I used a Nokia N81 for music testing..This pair of headphones cant work well with this handphone. Bass is missing, Music is still there but the voice of the singer had been soften by heaps..The volume controller doesn’t work on this device
2. PSP: Perhaps the ultimate rival to the Ipod Touch is the PSP..I tested this neckband on a PSP-2000.. It works well..All the sound was there.Bass is punching lightly. The volume controller doesn’t work on this device
3. I-Products: I tested it on an Iphone 3G, Ipad,Ipod Touch..This headphones performed nicely. The problem with others headphones is that the headphons will distort when the equalizer is set to “Bass Boost’’ Mode. This headphone doesn’t distort and it sounds pretty clean and the bass is of course punching.. The volume controller works on this device

Looks
Nothing even changed on the looks..It just looked like twin brother

Differences Between
Siberia Neckband Original : You cant utilize the mic unless you have a set of divider that can output the mic jack and the audio jack in the computer. The cable of the new Neckband is shorter than the original neckband (even without the cable extension). and an inline volume controller 
[attachmentid=2114429][attachmentid=2114432]
H-lines Headset: Pretty much it cannot be compared to the H-lined headsets from steelseries.Its because this is an overall products which is good for music and gaming .While the H-line headset is PURELY for gaming

Siberias v2: Well all I can say is Siberia v2 packs a much more punch of bass inside the headset..And its open-ear..The V2 is closed can type..I wonder if u are using it on the street would you like to listen to the surrounding or just the music ?

THE PROS
-Great sound quality for both music and games
-Gives pinpoint sound coordination
-Microphone is very clear
-Wont mess up your hairstyle
THE CONS 
-Creates quite an amount of clamping force on your head.You might feel uncomfortable when using it for long hours
-It cannot be used when walking.( Because it tends to slip down your head every step..Use it when you are in a stationary position)
-Cables are not long enough for normal computer usage( Remember these are made for I-Products)
-Cant used with normal phone

Conclusion:
Have an Ipod? Wants to have an advantage in your games? Wants to look cool? Enjoy good musics? A way clearer mic for your recording needs..Dont Worry Siberia Neckband Covers all that for you..(Good For Those Spiky Haired Dudes..Wont Mess up your hair)
Performance:8/10
Price:7/10
Design:9/10
Comfort: 7/10

So I would rate this product 8/10 overall

hey guys ,may i know this model release yet ? i can't wait for my ps3.

http://steelseries.com/products/consoles/s...eria-v2-for-ps3

Hey guys, my siberia neckband has gone busto yesterday, left earpiece no sound anymore. I suspect its a bad wire, is there anywhere I can repair it? or should I dissect it myself?

No wor. It's bought back in 2009. Is there anywhere I can repair it?

for how long ?

Well, if you're a frequent gamer traveling to different cyber cafes most of the time, then just keep all your essential drivers/software in a thumbdrive, you'll never know when it'll become handy.

Any review about Steel Series Ikari Laser mouse? I have been wanting to get one

Anyone mind to share their experience? And the price of it thanks

Retails at RM269, if about RM300 better consider the Xai instead unless really particular about the mouse's shape.

That was during the clearance sale when Inter-Asia no longer continued their distributorship for SteelSeries products in Malaysia. So they had a clearance sale at that time.

this. lol

does the prints affect the surface of the mousepad?
