Hey guys,

Thanks for dropping by. Firstly I'm currently using a faulty Razer Megalodon, and it's my 2nd headset from Razer which brought major disappointments. I've decided to move back into Headsets that aren't running on USBs (Analog/Audio Jacks), and also away from Razer audio products.

Been doing some research on the interweb, I'd really like to have a Sennheiser headset but due to the lack of availability in Malaysia, it's simply not possible to have one (Even if i get one, the price would be x2 higher than retail in the States.)

So I'm limited now to steelseries products, of all their headsets Two caught my eye :

Steel Series 7h
http://steelseries.c.../steelseries-7h
Steel Series Siberia v2 Headset
http://steelseries.c...ries-siberia-v2

Online research tells me the comparison between these 2 are as follows :

7h :
Better noise cancelling
Easier to travel because it can be disassembled

V2 Siberia :
Better Sound Quality (People claming that a better soundstage affects the quality)
Lighter and more comfortable for prolonged use.

Anyone able to check the comparisons and the facts backing it? Does soundstage really affects sound quality that much?
Thanks in advance Cheers.

I have the 5Hv2 and I really like it. The sound is clear and it is comfortable and well built.

I can not really speak to the 7h, but i had no concerns buying a SteelSeries keyboard after my headset experiance.

I own the Siberia, and its pretty good. The noise cancellation is ok, though if your listening to music loudly, the rest of the room will hear it. I have had comments telling me the mic quality is great, and the speakers seem pretty decent and don't have that 'tinny' sound that some cheaper headsets have.

The build quality is good, though I broke the head strap spring by pulling on it to hard. The set also looks great, I would recommend it.
