powerful bass for what?
cannot even listen to music properly...after all u hear is woom woom woom or whatever...
rm20 cost price better i go eat one carls jr burger or buy some nice ice cream...
at least i know i be happy rather than wasting rm20 on some stupid thing and then cursing urself for not using that rm20 get a nice meal

u want budget headphones below rm100, go find philips ones...
rm50+ also got decent philips ones with enough bass...but at least u can still listen to music

Yea, some people prefer more bass (also depends on the kind of thing they hear most of the time). Similar concept to why some people would install super huge woofers for their car.

what do you think about it?

again, foldable earcups 

Spark and Strato looks almost the same, cheapo and plasticky.
I prefer Spark's mic over Strato's flexible one.

you basshead?
haha. You should test ask around first before buying. 

one thing you need to ask yourself.
are you an audiophile?
if not, any gaming headset is okay.
get the ones youre comfortable wearing

only some gaming headset are of bad sound quality, others are just average.
usually in rm250 range and above, the sound already good enough.
audiophile ppl tends to kacau us ppl buying headset cos you can get better audiophile headphone for the price of the headsets.
somehow, they think the price doesnt justify the sound quality

if you value music more, get audiophiles headphones, and get seperate mic for gaming

if you game hard, get 2 pairs of headset and headphone.

you cant crave what you havent had a taste of yet,
so better dont try that audiophile headphone, later you'll want to get them 

if 7H without USB, this pwns them all.

my choice, 7H -->Megalodon

walabies and yuheng are already doing that...and have opened Jaben Malaysia.

akabane is also doing it.

Bought Siberia V2 + xfi fatality combo in the end for now, i'll get the 7H or megalodon once i'm back in Malaysia end of this year. Thanks for the previous input guys 

Thanks bro, im just going to open my playlist for 24 hours, see if there is any difference on the headset.

how much does a good sound card cost roughly?

HERE is a good and cheap (RM90) alternative USB DAC (aka USB Soundcard) for those running on stereo headphones...no case though..have to find ur own case for it

DACs amplification abit weak though according to the TS... but should still be able to drive low impedance headphones...if not...can prolly get a cheapo amp like the FiiO E3 @ RM35/pc or the FiiO E5 @ RM80/pc

DAC can also be used for those running on 2.0 or 2.1 speakers... powered speakers usually have their own built in amp so no need to buy the amp.
i guess the DAC + E3 would only come up to about RM125 (excluding cables). good cheap budget alternative for much cleaner sounds for those running on stereo/2.1 headphones or speakers.... suitable for desktop and portable enough for laptop users too

btw can i purchase the siberia USB for 7H? i bought the non-usb version and i really wan to feel the difference from it. 7.1 channel that can be place anywhere depending on the user !

5hv2 no buttons. i wan the button. more convenient
so is the sibv2 usb useable for 7h?

so wait you mean you can get a Siberia V2 with a sound card and another package is w/o soundcard?

kave or siberia v2 w/o soundcard.
which is btr and why?
mainly deciding between these 2 for fps games only.

damn...I couldnt help myself, bought an Audio Technica ATH-T500 instead of Kave.
tried some gaming headset, and couldnt bear the plasticly sound of them, thus making me scared to go for Kave

My review of the headphone:
the mids are damn exaggerated, weak bass (and Im not even a basshead), good highs, but weak mid highs.
pros (mainly due to the strong mids)
-vocals in songs are clear
-songs that have drastic change in key sounds better (especially japanese songs, they like to change key out of the blue...haha)
cons (also cos of the strong mids)
-songs that starts with mids, will get so overpowered, and for some songs, its like listening to left speaker way~~ higher volume than right 
-weak mid highs, you cant enjoy subtle background voices and pianos, I notice this especially when listen to "I Could" by The Crash Moderns.the piano part becomes non-existent.
-climax in songs are buried by strong mid that evens out all parts of the songs.songs become flat
all of this problem is solvable with equalizer, PC and my hp no problemo, but unusable on my PS3, cos it doesnt have equalizer.
cant listen to songs on my PS3, cos PS3 I think, is set to having a strong mid.combined with this headphone strong mid...
using the headphone, songs become unbearable, as the mids become so strong that the sounds starts to break, even at -2 volume...really disappointed (ps3 volume goes from -1 until -4 to normal to 1 until 4)
otherwise, playing game is okay...can hear footsteps, wind rustle, etc
but cant listen to songs on PS3 period, unless you connect to something with treble/bass control before going to the headphone.

for ergonomics, I cant complaint much, cos I have big ears, and depth is always a problem.
I think Id only be comfortable with beyer DT150

and I learned a lesson...53mm driver doesnt equate to good bass...
normal bass is okay, but weak bass...53mm driver ....
I need to use TRUBASS on my SE hp to get a normal bass sound, and it eats up a lot of battery
basshead stay away from this one.
TL,DR:
its a good headphone, can have quality almost same as my Sonicgear Apocalypse speaker with a tweak
for the price, its really good, but if you want a plug and play headphone, or want to use with something without an equalizer/bass/treble control, I suggest you try other headphone.

p/s: guess i need to get a mic next
