I am a really big fan of the Siberia 200 headsets, but after having gone trough my third pair of them I think it is time to find a suitable replacement and find an alternative.
The sound design on a Siberia 200 is perfect for me, it has a nice noticeable bass that can be quite subby if needed in cinematic scenes / bass heavy music but simultaneously gets out of the way when a lot of bass would distract from the rest of the song while not sounding thin or cheap. Another good thing about the headset is the fidelity of the microphone, while it doesn't really capture bass it captures what it does in a good resolution which means it gives a very studio like sound when i EQ some extra bass in.
But then there is the headsets biggest flaw, the cables. The cables are very thin on the side that go in the laptop and as a result i usually wear out the cable after 3 years rendering the headset to only have audio in one ear cup with the other ear cup cutting out more and more until it eventually stops functioning. This is what i would like to remedy in my next headset with detachable replaceable cables.
There are plenty of headsets with detachable cables, especially wireless ones but its very hard to find one online that has a similar nice sound quality to both the headphones and the microphone.
I am willing to spend twice as much as the Siberia 200 costs, which is 160 euro's. I did try the Steelseries Arctic Pro and was really disappointed with how they sound, the bass is very lacking and treble sounds like a tin can even if i amp up the bass which makes it harder for me to trust reviews saying a headset has good sound quality.
Does anyone know a suitable replacement for this amazing headset?
I have attached a graph of the kind of sound stage the Siberia produces (Red line in the graph).
