New headset: STEELSERIES 5H V2 or SIBERIA V2

[SneakyFox]

I have a Asus Xonar DGX 5.1 soundcard and will use the headphones for gaming.

 

I have a pair of V2's today and love them, but are the sound better in the 5H V2's ?

Don't get a headset, ATH m50's + antlion modmic.

It doesn't answer your question but with the upgraded soundcard I would just get these http://www.amazon.com/Technica-ATH-AD700-Open-air-Audiophile-Headphones/dp/B000CMS0XU + http://www.amazon.com/Zalman-Zm-Mic1-Sensitivity-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00029MTMQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1377590903&sr=1-1&keywords=zalman+zm1

 

Much better option as you have spent money on a soundcard.

Aint gonna be a big difference in sound between headsets when you compare them to good headphones. I wouldn't bother "upgrading" unless you have a problem with what you've got.

To answer the question: stick with the Sibera V2s. Not worth spending more on a 5H.

 

If you want an upgrade to sound quality. get better headphones + modmic as the others have suggested.

I ended up buying a pair of 5H V2's. They were on sale (Cheap).

 

Thank you for the advice and recommendations

 

Compared to the Siberia V2's my first thoughts are (This is a my opinion. It is OK if you do not agree):

5H V2 are NOT good for music compared to Siberia V2

5H V2 are VERY good for gaming. A little bit better than my Siberia V2's

Siberia V2 are much more comforrtable

 

Update: ~3 months later

I constantly have to adjust the 5H V2's

Siberia V2 are so much more comforrtable
