Its HEAVY!!!!

TB MW3 Charlie http://www.turtlebeach.com/products/call-o...ce-charlie.aspx is lighter....and another you could consider is the CM Sirus.... both 3 headsets are 5.1 True biggrin.gif
*
Cm storm Sirus owner here tongue.gif quite comfortable and have 4 speakers in both side while kave only have 3 speakers...

here the reviews to help u make the decision (from same source)
CM storm Sirus
Roccat Kave
Turtle Beach Z6A

FYI. Kave is cheapest and Sirus is quite expensive. Both have solid build quality.

Gone through those review not only from blog or website, I even went through those reviews posted in Youtube, sounds tempting. Currently no stock, got to wait until December but pre-order now only RM280 for a new one.

Awesome? How awesome?  rclxm9.gif

The forum (include the product official forum) also help alot, to check whether got ppl complain or not. (alot complain = quality suck)

Nicee findings...a must for peeps who is considering a multichannel headset... thumbup.gif
Coz when I want grab a 5.1 headset, I almost spend a month to make the decision and get all the reviews from forum/Video/Hardware Review site

z6a looks nice, but i will use it on my asus g53 laptop, so i doubt it will produce 5.1 surround sound =(

siberia v2 is in my list though
*
u can consider CM Storm Sirus 5.1 RM399. It come with 2 modes, analog(must atleast have inboard 5.1 soundcard) and USB(using the provided external sound card).

I would say the sound quality is better than Kave.

Sound Quality
Sirus > z6a > kave

Bass
Sirus = Z6A > Kave

Feature
Sirus > Z6A > kave

Comfortability
Z6A > Sirus > kave

Price (from low to high)
Kave > z6a > sirus

(above is base on my experience)

CM storm Sirus
Roccat Kave
Turtle Beach Z6A

thanks for the info  cool.gif  but how about sennheiser pc161, it's 399 as well

nv use before tongue.gif but Sennheiser headset alway produce excellent sound effect. The headset only 200g and the comfortable design will not make u uncomfortable after awhile.

Since u using laptop, u might traver alot. I will vote for sennheiser pc161 for portable.

Roccat kave is not a light weight headset; I'm currently using it. Comparing it to my other headset like 5Hv2 (which I regrettably sold it) it weights a ton. Absolutely not for long hours gaming.

seem like u have bad experience with the kave....i plan to get it before i grab my sirus

Cause , by around 3-5 hours of usage , your hair would be like compacted due to the weight of the ear cups tongue.gif

Sirus looks quite nice , more light weight material used unlike Kave , but that goes for it's heavy construction.
*
If let me choose again maybe i will go for Sennheiser tongue.gif .... I bought sirus because of the True 5.1, coz nv try before (headset)..... overall Sirus is worth to buy but not for those who looking for portable headset

Btw just realise Corsair headset is using memory form, look like the headset will be more comfortable than others

Hmm, all sifus here.

What do you think of Razer Chimaera 5.1?
is it worth it to churn out the additional RM200 for the 5.1?

QUOTE
If we're honest, we haven't heard many good 5.1 headsets but in the end, we feel the CM Storm Sirus tries too hard to offer the 5.1 experience. It's far from the worst headset we've used though - it's comfortable and in stereo mode was very capable, even when using the Tactical Mixing Console. However, it often sounded muffled, with a range of audio suffering in all corners of the audio spectrum. It also goes to show how good the Asus Vulcan is, and that if you want 5.1 surround sound, buy a set of speakers rather than a headset.


Conclusion: All 5.1 headsets are bad
so just get a 2.1 headset

i dont remember seeing that, the only thing people complained about is the heavy price tag for sirus on the internet
cant really agree with the statement in that link, i owned a asus vulcan before i bought this cm storm sirus, while vulcan is light and good at active noise cancelling, it drops 90% bass effect, i would appreciate that if im a professional gamer, but not as a normal gamer who simply wants to enjoy my game. however, i just finish playing bf3 and mw3 with my sirus today, sirus definitely more accurate in pinpointing the position of enemy smile.gif
5.1 is bad? maybe for virtual 5.1, but not for sirus' true 5.1
*
Maybe the review's guy is professional gamer biggrin.gif haven't try the Vulcan before sad.gif Sirus is expensive but worth than those overpriced Razer headsets

asus vulcan is EXTREMELY comfortable. although its ear pads are leather, your ears are still able to "breathe" and your ears will not sweat at all after 3-4 hours of gaming and also wont feel like you need a break from the headset because of feeling hot. but still, the bass effect after active noise cancelling is on, is disappointing. NO BASS AT ALL!
i tried both yesterday, i like the leather pads because the sounds become more solid and cancelled more outside noise. but the leather pads are hard, maybe still new, first time try yesterday, so they are not so comfortable. i prefer the micro-fibre pads more because they are more comfy and my ears wont sweat.
asus vulcan is only available in C-Zone for 399 (got it for 370) in plaza lowyat. CM Sirus is available at Thunder Match at Berjaya Timesquare for 450 (got it for 379 staff price) and i remember i saw it in ALL IT Hypermarket in plaza lowyat too

RM450 for sirus !!??? Lingloong only sell RM399
