nice to see many suppliers selling SS products.. fell great to own SS peripherials.. Long live Steelseries!!!!

must...resist..temptations...

no wonder the bulks sell SS stuffs so cheap.. But at least, i bought my ikari from CEX, qck mass from edifier thru mois..

Well, audio comparison is very subjective though.. If u're on budget, buy siberia, if u got ample of money, better go for audiophile headset..

Siberia is a descent headset already, so not really much diff between it and 5HV2..

U mean which one? Music, go for Siberia..

Well, why don't u guys try it out first, then see see how's the performance... u know , u can't trust some people like me who own audiophile headset.. It's depending on what u use headset for.. I bet most people use 'gaming' headset solely to play games.. For music and movie, can use own speakers.. In this case, my vote will be on 5HV2...

So, u wanna use headset specifically for gaming? Like that 5HV2.. If for music and movie, try audiophile headset, or if you keen to buy ss brand or ok budget , Siberia all the way..

Not sure if applied in ss headset, but the longer u use a headset, the better sound quality it produces...

Do u use headset only for a while? if so, better dont buy any headset at all.. just like razer's audio stuffs, full of tech gimmick and the price doesnt even meet the quality and performance it's offering.. i tested siberia and razer barracuda, to me, siberia is much better, provided u have a good soundcard, that is.. rm 15 cap ayam, it's up to u.. but u're gonna miss hell a lot from a quality headset, i mean, A LOT!

@crazy.sot.gila, if u use an audiophile headset, u have to buy a good quality amplifier to get full benefit of it.. Audio Technica AD700 is nice, but need an amplifier to boost further.. trust me, iknow coz i own Audio Technica a900..

@limhongwoon, wanna know what is audiophile headset? ask uncle google instead..

erm, maybe u shud elaborate more, like compare siberia + xfi fatality with what headset? u know, every people have different satisfactory level..

Yes, QCK mousepad especially mass/heavy is the best.. tried almost all gaming mousepad, but all of them not as smooth as qck heavy offered...
@xiukeong, i think its time to replace ur DA teflon feet..

Or maybe the special edition mousepad got diff texture?

I think thickness plays an important role here.. I can't exactly/scientifically tell u why but judging from my experience, thicker mousepad = smoother.. I own qck mass (thicker) and qck+ (thinner) and to me, both of them got very different 'feel', or maybe it's just me...

mantis control = goliathus control < QCK mass..

Like I said, thicker =better..

Haha, i already compared with other gaming mouse pad... QCK heavy is the best by far..

What about laser version? Any negTive feedback tying Ikari laser on it?

different people have different ear stuctures/textures (huh? ).. some got big ears while others got small ears... so, level of comfortness is very subjective..

Like i said earlier, if u are on budget, buy them.. if u have unlimited budget, u know i know u know la..

Hehe, I own one like in his avatar..

Btw, do the sellers can sell the Siberia mic separately?

How I wish some forumers here are kind enuf to sell me their Siberia mic.. one if the disadvatages of using audiophile headset is no mic bundled for gaming..
