Hello.
So I've lil' story.
Once i was @ friend, checked he bought new razi mouZ00R, good pad, and then checked headphones, it was icemat siberia, when i tried it on cs ( im not playin' cs i play ProooCOD2/4 ), never liked cus bad sound quality in game ( footsteps of mine sound like SH*T like enemy comes). Then tried ( it was Siberia Icemat) it omg i hear half map and know absolutely exactly where he is, I CAN AIM OVER WALL AND AIM AIM UNTIL HE COMES AND GET PWND, or GOT PWND BY SHOOTING TO WALL. I was amazed . I always used RX300 + table + integrated sound + Headphones for 5 dollars ( if convert it from mine). I never asked myself about sound always though its everything u get in game stereo, right left, left above left bottom, right same, far, but not exactly.
7 days though about it, wanted so much , were researching everything in web, then my final decision was:
-Razer DA
-Icemat mantis speed
-Icemat Siberia ( checked that it use usb soundcard) , and thought "not bad quality from usb hehe i liked it ".
But those siberia's reviews sucks. In one i heard its megapro, and with USB SOUNDCARD it beat 5h usb and with quality it beats soundcard Audigy2 ( Ill tell why a2, but not better). Finnaly i thought cool, and on other review man said its ok, comfy, music ok, and GAMES HORRIBLE !!!! He said he heard only as i hear with my 6$ hphones. Omg i'm fkin confused again, but in first review man said that he enabled virtual 7.1 and only then he got progood sound, on second no mention.
Asked that friend, and one more info, he uses icemat siberia with not usb scard but bought internal for about 25$. So i scared, what if realy usb soundcard doesnt give that good positioning sound, i didnt wanted integral, cus what if i'll buy notebook, there is only integrated scards (right?) , so it going to be sh*t quality. Alot offer PC161's to take, but omg i liked full ear cap , at siberia, while PC161 is much smaller.. so i don't know ..
Should i take other headphone with internal or sib with internal , or sib with usb ?
I'm confused.. Is Siberia+Audigy2 vs Siberia USbwithVirtual7.1 = which wins?
Btw about info how it cost at my country:
-RazerDA 62-65 $
-Mantis 30 $
-Sib+usbcard = 127 $ while sib-withoutusb = 81 $
My friend got audigy2 , me too don't wanna spend alot of moneys, but realy get difference, and ofcourse not SHI*TER like my friend ( btw i'm not want to be better than him, i play other game at all). Cuz you know that feeling, when u feel bad quality, and think that u bought bad thing, u could buy other...
audigy2 costs ~ 30$.
Over all i have 230 - 250 $, please offer how do in my situation, and ofcourse heres expensive those things, so im going to tell yua what price of your offer. Please help me out in this situation. Thanks in advance and ofcourse sorry for my english.
