No haha, I didn't even know who he was until months after I had them, I just asked the guy at the store for the cheapest gaming headphones a while ago. $40 and they've lasted me about 2-3 years. Not too shabby, except the whole getting shot in the back thinking they're infront of me lol.

haha i hate that, my sennheisers are going bad after having them for about 5 years, and they do that to me everyonce in a while

Siberias will only sound great for gaming, period.. unless you're partially deaf. The range and soundstage just aren't there. The headsets are also notoriously bad in holding up long-term unless you're lucky. Either the mic and/or one ear will go out within 1-2 years. Since they're overpriced (imo) at around $90.. why NOT get headphones that are good for more than just gaming?

i was using hd555's held together by duct tape at socal 7 lol.. i've used icemat siberias, ss 5hv2s, ss siberia v2s, steelseries 7hs, sennheiser hd555s, and the razer carcharias.. my favorite for gaming has been the siberia v2s because they're comfortable and sound great for $70.

I currently have the Creative Fatal1ty gaming headphones, they're comfortable and last a while, but the surround sound I guess would be the problem.

Surround sound is a combo soundcard/headset deal. I'm not sure exactly how you get that working.

ryan, I'll trade you my coL edition SteelSeries 5H v2 headset for modeling nudes

sennheiser is the best. get those + desktop mic (they're like 10$ or less). music is so much better with legit bass in your headphones.

I have the steelseries siberia v2 i believe. No complaints here, also have one of their mouses and mousepads.

john clanin, i will. just for you

p.s ended up getting senheisser pc 560's i looked up a lot of stuff and apparently these are very good so lets hope so

Audio Technica AD700s: http://www.amazon.com/Technica-ATH-AD70 ... 568&sr=8-1
or
Sennheiser 555s: http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD555- ... 614&sr=1-1

Both will last you for yearsss without breaking, and if they do break, both companies have great CS to replace them.

i had the original DSPs when they came out, those things where awesome.

either way, i like my audiotechnica 700s and a cheapo mic. would never go back to a headset after experiencing the difference in sound and quality.

I use a SteelSeries 5HV2 with USB 7.1 soundcard and it feels all good. However if I had the money to grab a Senheiser I wouldn't think twice! The sound quality is just e-mazing!

by **Schmiggs** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 2:45 pm

I've had DSP's for like 8 years. Still going strong...

Eat a dick ryan

by **badnewspanda** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 12:12 pm

Honestly I had both of those headphones and I always come back to Sennheiser

I currently have a pair of these http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD515- ... 018&sr=8-1 And I think they have great sound quality and are extremely comfy.

hd555s are the way to go.

edit, that being said I've been using nice ear buds for the past few years since my 555s died, they perform perfectly fine.

by **ryanemo** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 9:59 am

you're like the 10th person whos said to just get sennheiser's lol

honestly, from what i've heard/read the Siberia v2 have shitty wiring and go bad within a year. and the 5h blows. just spend like $15 extra and get sennheiser hd555s and they will last u 6 years easy. i've thrown,dropped,stepped on,ran over them with my chair and they still work fine and have better sound quality then the v2s
