Zalman Mic - best spent 6 € ever!

Well, I got these about 2 months ago:

http://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Siber ... B002Q8IHDQ

and I'm happy with them, they fit well and sound is good enough. Is a € 200,- set better? I hope it is

From what I read this Zalman Mic is better than most stuff you get in headsets, so dont worry about the quality.

Well Siberia is nice for gaming only, heard the sound is pretty bad when you want to listen to music.
I allready got my set I want to buy and the headphones + Zalman Mic will cost me 25 Euro.
While being better than most headsets up to a 100 Euro. Thought about getting me a Siberia too first but I want to see If the ppl are right with the argument that cheapass Headphones can be way better.

Awesome sound quality, very light on your head and the mic is connected to the headset with a 3,5mm jack and you can remove it if you don't need it.

I have this one, which is pretty much the same headset, except a bit more pimp.

Beyerdynamic makes the QH-90 for QPad, and they are really hard to beat when it comes to headsets.

Just don't buy any of that "gaming" headset shit, I have yet to try any good ones, and I have been through dozens (QPad is the only exception that I know of).

The G35 has decent sound quality for a gaming headset, too, but as I said, you get way more bang for the buck if you buy headphones and a separate mic.

i hope your are aware of the fact that better sound quality is only given by higher cpu usage which the better soundchip demands, could affect the strim fps

lol not sure if serious or trolling

Higher cpu usage -> CRY engine -> trolling

k first feedback, music is different from what ive been used to with the sennheiser pc151, mainly probably due to it being a over-ear headphone

sound is awesome, the bass is not overstronk, but that is intented, bass enthuisiats should look somewhere else.
atm im still a little bit unconformatable with the warming up of the ears and the overall space for my ears. guys, i have giant fucking ears, its hard to fit them in there .

but yea, gotta continue listening. music sounds way more defined and i feel the difference especially ingame, you hear absolutely everything compared to before.
lets see how i can get used to the fit of the headphone. coming from a sennheiser pc151 is a tough start cause they were so super smooth you rly havent felt them in any way, long sessions no problem whatsoever.

i demand testing with and without new soundcard, thats the only thing i am interested in.
