What's great about it: Value, Sound Quality,
What's not so great: Microphone Quality, Size
I am avid PC Gamer and so is my wife. She was in need of a new headset, so for a Christmas present I got this one because of other reviews stating this headset was comfortable. Unfortunately, she didn't like the headset. She couldn't get use to the constant pressure and didn't care for the noise cancelling quality of the headset. On the bright side she gave it to me to have. I know you thinking I set this up, but really I didn't. Anyhow, It does take some getting use to but after a week or so it should loosen up and is quite comfortable in my opinion for a larger and better than average quality headset. I've used more expensive Razor headsets that are way less comfortable. The sound quality is great, not the best but pretty darn good for the price. The microphone is a bit flat and low in volume. You will need to adjust the microphone volume a bit to get it at an acceptable level. I would recommend this headset for any male gamer, and for someone with a slightly smaller than average dome I would not because it is a bit on the large side.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Amazing price, great audio, retractable microphone, stylish
What's not so great: Mixing up the mic and headphone jack can be a slight annoyance.
Don't let the $75 price tag fool you, because this set of headphones is worth about $500 in my opinion. Normally, I would have to buy 2 headphones, costing about $250 each, for gaming and music to get the same quality is the Siberia V2s. I wanted to find a set of headphones that could fulfill both purposes, a stylish set with good audio for listening to music, and surround sound and a mic for gaming. The first thing I noticed when picking up these are that they are extremely stylish. The retractable mic is great since you can keep it hidden when you are in public listening to music and you won't worry about misplacing it. After first putting them on, I realized how comfortable they are. These headphones use a suspension system that adjust automatically to your head. They feel weightless and I can barely notice that they are on, until I turn them up that is. These headphones get LOUD. On full volume, they are about as loud as my laptop's speakers. There is some leakage of noise, so others can hear what you are listening to at these volumes (obviously), but you can still listen to music at a high volume without any sound leaking. The inline volume control helps controlling audio levels.
I tested the audio with Rock, Hip Hop, Rap, Techno, and Dubstep music. The audio blew me away. I have listened to many other headphones, such as Shure, Beats, and Sony, but these headphones were the best for all types of music. The highs and mids were loud, crisp, and extremely clear. The lows were strong, but never overpowered. I love how I can feel the bass vibrating while never losing the crispness of the highs and mids. I feel that the fact that these have 50mm drivers, as compared to the standard 40mm, allow them to retain clarity at high volumes, and reproduce the sound much better.
I tested the gaming while playing Counter Strike: Source. This game is very competitive and the audio is almost a necessity. I was able to locate directions extremely well. These headphones let me get the jump coming around corners and find people based on footsteps. The mic is very clear and everybody I talked with said the clarity was perfect. There is a slight hiss the mic picks up, but you can only hear it if you are looking out for it. The mic also cancels out background noise fairly well.
The build quality is good. The headphones aren't completely rigid, but they don't feel flimsy. It is a good balance between the two, and I feel comfortable keeping them in my backpack, which I throw around a lot. The standard cord is of perfect length, enough to reach into my pocket if I am listening to my phone, and short enough to not annoy me when I am sitting right infront of my laptop. These also come with a very long extension cord included. This is helpful for times when maybe your PC is tucked away or you want some distance from the audio source. These headphones come with 1 wire that is split at the end, one jack for headphones and one for the microphone. I like this because it works with every device, and I can choose to use the mic or not simply by not plugging it in. The only point I took off was for ease of use. Although the jacks are colored green for headphones and red for mic, I do sometimes mix them up, or have to spend a second double checking to make sure it is right. This is a bigger problem with the extension, since I cannot see the color and I have to check the label on the cord. Although this only wastes about 1 second, it is a slight annoyance. I don't know how they could have solved this, but the pros outweigh the cons.
I would recommend this to a friend!
