Headset problem

[akatel]

Hey guys, I need some advice about choosing a new headset. I currently have the steelseries siberia v2, but the left speaker is no longer working. I was thinking of buying another one because it is a great product but also have the opportunity to try something new. So I was wondering if there is anything better around this price point ~ £65.

I was thinking I could fix the current headset, with some solder, but the breakage appears to be quite far up the cable near the headphones themselves and I don't think I'll be able fix it.

Hi there, I really like the sennheiser headsets. They are good quality and fairly sturdy, I have 2 pairs of Sennheisers and the headset I currently use has worked for the last 7+ years. The PC 330s are in the same price range as the steelseries headset.

How long have you had them?

Could you not return them as they have a two year warranty.

I got them April last year, but from ebay for £40, so I think it came with warranty but I'm not sure if steelseries will take it. I'd probably be happier with a new one that isn't from China. Thanks for the advice though, I've never had to RMA anything before so I didn't consider it.

I've got the exact same problem with my Siberia V2s, where the left cup has become much quieter than the right.. Seems to be a problem with them if you google it.

Give Steelseries a ring and explain that you've noticed a lot of people with the same problem on Google, and see if you can RMA them.. Mine are out of warranty now

seems to be a big issue with QC on these headphones. Mine and Hoonigans have both had similar issues - great while they worked but could never recommend them to anyone. dont buy again they will go the same way.

I'm thinking of buying something new so does anybody have any suggestions?

For a budget of ~£65 I would go with what Pete301 suggests, The Sennheiser PC 330.

I'd be willing to go upto around £100 if the price is justified and my friend was recommending the steelseries 7h.

I've a pair of Razor Carcharias (£66.96),http://www.scan.co.uk/products/razer...et-51-with-mic, which I really like. But a mate has some Asus Vulcan ANC, http://www.scan.co.uk/products/asus-...gaming-headset, which are fantastic (if I was buying again, these Asus are the ones I would get) for £79.18.
