Any Steelseries Siberia V2 owners here? I am thinking of ordering a pair.

On sale right now for $76 free ship no tax on Newegg.

11 5 star reviews out of 12 reviews.

My panasonic headphones have been shorting out on me lately, I need something solid, with good soundstage. (will be using it for FPS games, and through my xonar dg)

My corsairs sound better than the Steelseries, but these don't want to squeeze my eyes out of my head like the Corsair 1500's do.

Does that sound card work via USB? The Siberia is USB powered not 3.5mm jacks.

The Siberia V2 I bought is 3.5 mm only.

and comfort is almost as important to me as sound, I tried the corsair 1500 once, and it hurt my head bad and pressed my glasses frame into my sides, it hurt like hell.

I use the Siberia's because of comfort, I can appreciate that sentiment. I didn't realize the regular V2 were 3.5, my set of Frost are USB.

They have come in both variants. You can get either a 3.5mm or USB for all Siberias. I chose the 3.5's because I was limited on USB slots, but after using them I can't imagine going back, they are so damn comfortable. Sure the sound quality isn't the best, but I can sit down and game for 8+ hours without my ears hurting. I used Plantronics before and they left a lot to be desired, so I cannot reccomend Siberia V2's enough.

Thanks guys, I just bit the bullet and bought a couple Siberia V2's. $76 free ship no tax on Newegg.

3.5mm will pair nicely with my xonar dg sound card. my previous Panasonics were only $29.99 so I hope these blow me away, im pretty easy to be blown away though, i have low standards :)
