  • WEAR THE PANTS!@!@! i luv that part

  • is there an adapter for xbox 360???

    

  • i wanna get those

  • @crunchybLaster You realize they are years old now eh?

  • @ownTer ya i know but i still want them

  • @crunchybLaster Just lletting you know. There are much nett 5.1 set out there. Astro 5.1. Sorry thats what i meant by my previous comment.

  • I love this review.

  • Just a copy of the Speedlink Medusa...

    USB-Versions? Only for mobile solutions.

    Buy a good soundcard and a 5.1 headset without that USB-crap. -> Better sound, less softwareproblems, more possible configurations.

  • I got these today the bass is awfull

    Surround is kind off fake

    they are way to warm on the ears

    And i just had them for 5 minutes

    Not worth buying...

    That's why i got them for 5 euto's instead of 60

  • Horrible headset. Stay away from surround headsets. Please, don't waste your money. Get stereo headphones and a soundcard, then you can use virtual surround if you want, but don't waste your money. Please.

  • @Kloborgg So you haven't bought these and are just dissing them out of spite? wtf? I bought them, should be here by wed's, then I'll review them.

  • @NINJAROOable

    Spite? Do you know what that word means? Every single pair of "real" surround headsets every made are horrible. Ask any audio forum community. I'm trying to help save people money. If you bought these on impulse without doing any research, that's your fault, not mine.

  • @Kloborgg Yes I do actually. I have done my research, if I don't like them they'll be returned.

  • @NINJAROOable

    Where did you do any research? If you go to any respectable audio forum like HeadFi you'd be laughed at for suggesting surround phones.

  • is the championship edition better??? reply plz

  • when he showed the usb, i had an orgasm

  • они у мя уже год... хреновый провод (два обрыва изза перекручивания провода, а они сложно паяются)

    Центральный динамик нистого нисего стал играть токо в левом ухе (драва ставил разных версий - непомогло, исправил переносом в "пространстве" среднего динамика почти на правый боковой... громкость в левом и правом ухе одинакова, но немного в тоне отличается звук при5.1 настройках)

  • @zveno013 щас разбираю.... басс в правом ухе пропал.. :(

  • @zveno013 опять разрыв... уже в проводе который через ободок проходит... я заепался в этих Волосинках разрывы искать....

    Главный провод 3 мм состоит из 11 жил и оболочки... при падении ушей со стола с отдергиванием моментально приводят их к нерабочему состоянию =(

  • @CastelynTV it does but not gameplay sounds through usb, chatting weorks

  • will this work on my ps3 since its a usb?

  • @Evilstewie831

    it should but why would you want to wear that for ps3 its a PC headset for a reason.

  • Yes i will WEAR THE PANTS! THE RED AND BLACK PANTS!!

  • If it's 20-20k Hz, how can the sub be 40-400 Hz? Doesn't make sense...

  • @AllAroundBang Subs play bass..Low pitch sounds have low frequencies .. The speakers dedicated for bass WILL NOT HAVE THAT RANGE..

  • dude how can i be a troll for saying that im looking at the older comments you made and it seems your just a dick head

  • lol elephants are afraid of mice

  • drop it once and the will never be the same ever.

    the break so easy.

  • I have owned 2 pairs of Sonar 5.1 headphones and both broke.... Its allways that copper wire will broke just under volume adjustment panel... Hopefully someone listens me or Cyber have fixed this in their next gen. of headphones

  • tritton ax pro is better :)

  • @SSGLeader nah i think this is better, but its personal preference, thats all.

  • god what a salesmen this guy is great

  • This guy looks like Frank Mir a little bit LOL

  • Lol, the ones who actually bought these so-called 5.1 headsets threw their money away. I'm not rich enough to buy cheap things.

    These headphones contain several loudspeakercapsules that bring sound to the ear from different directions.Actually, a deceptive packaging! Few serious (high end) headphone companies developed and tested this approach several years ago and determined it WASN’T any good.

  • @shigapoo dude u dont know what ur talking about this is my favorite headset ever any one who doesn't like it needs to grow a pair and shut up if ur trying to protect or advertise ur favorite product just recommend it dont bash or troll please

  • 26 fags have watched this video, cyber snipa ftw

  • lol getting pair of those :D

  • USB PROBLEM SOLVED! No.. not really. Doesn't use your sound card so you get terrible synthetic sound not true 5.1.

  • I've seen so many video-reviews, read so many reviews, and everybody keep saying "these are the best", "these has the best comfort" "these has the best sound", but really nobody is right. I don't know if you will ever find THE BEST ever, because i don't think such exist. There are good headphones/headsets and there's bad headphones/headsets. Saying that a product is the best is a lie. There is no best.

  • @FunkenDK There are nearly PERFECT headsets like Astro A40's,Tritton 720's,but the only downside of those are the cables.

  • WOW HES SO HELARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    /sarcasm

  • "wear the pants" haha lol 

  • u come off of there lol.

  • the only bad thing about over the ear headsets is when your ears start to get a little toasty

  • if this works on ps3 and xbox i will buy 1

  • with this headset when you hear your enemys walking around you does the sound come out in a way were you know if there walking behind you to your left right..?

  • @AwSoMeNeSs444 it should, its 5.1 :)

  • it looks like the speedlink medusa :D

  • Yeah cheap...

  • They look so cheap

  • @buckloko1

    actually there not. i had these for about over a month and there still going very strong . the construction is really good. i beat the hell out of these things and not

    one problem. these are great headsets for the price. other surround headsets i love and recommend is the turtle beach HPA2's. :)

  • ahahahaahahhaahhahah 1 of the best reviews.

  • i really want this headset

  • U say USB, i kno this may sound stupid but does htta mean i can use them on my PS3 because i am lookin for some gaming headsets with 5.1 DD SS and theses seem perfect :)

  • naw they need drivers to work so sadly these won't work for the consoles. only pc. kinda sucks. i had these for about month now and after some tweaking and breaking in these things sound sic. the bass tickles my ears,lol. well only one i know that makes surround sound headsets for ps3 are tritton but i heard bad things about there customer support and wiring structure in the headsets. there bit on the expensive side also you can check'em out if want :)

  • @NEOX06 try the tritton ax pro 5.1 true surround sound headphones. they work for the pc ps3 360 and mac

  • @NEOX06 The ps3 doesent have mutch support for fancy stiff like this so i guess no.

  • it would only work with the ps3 to hear chat not game audio i would suggest a p21 or Tritton Universal Gaming Headset more of the tritton because its easier to set up on the pc as well

  • thanks alot, , been lookin at reviews and decided to go with the Astro a40 pretty pricey but the best around :D thanks alot anyway

  • @NEOX06 Astro's are way better

  • @KingOfPopDied I got Astro A40s a month ago, and I love em so much.

  • @zema109000 I use the Logitech Z-2300 for gaming.

  • @NEOX06 astro a40s are not the best around by far but you probably will never read this lol

  • be the men wear the pants

  • I seriously don't like USB headphones, I've got my expensive sound card and would like to use that, not some low-qual USB sound circuit. Not to mention sucky drivers, BSOD is so much fun while playing a game.

  • i have crappy madcatz for my 360 and usually when im done playing is when they make my ears start bleeding :(

  • Bow down to the LEGEND GUYS LOGAN

  • "I'm going to punch you in the face for that"

    Logan the legend, my friends.

  • i just ordered mine :) I', happy about the USB because my laptop doesnt have all the fancy sound card jazz

  • the guy who was reviewing doesn't even know about headsets lol. see at 2:30...

    i hate people doing reviews of things they don't know ANYTHING about

  • He just didn't know which was correct - each headphone or each headphoneS - . -'

  • even worse...

  • How can that be worse? It's an honest mistake. I'd love to see you try doing stuff like that live.

  • 'coz I'm not even american and I know the correct form to say that. And I'd do that live, because you don't need to think to say that the correct way.

  • wireless stuff = shitty.

    sorry, but that's the truth ;)

  • Wireless = phail T_T

  • skullcandy fucking sucks, they just look different so people buy them

  • Why does every headphone and headset for gaming now use velvet earpads? I hate them they feel alright at first till you wear them for an hour then it feels hot around you're ears and it makes you sweat. Which velvet absorbs. Such as the turtle beach headset had to buy replacement headphone earpads to replace the velvet ones.

  • Surround: 4/10

    Sound quality: 6/10

    Cable lenght: 8/10

    Confort: 8/10

    Speaker lifetime: 2/10

    USB Soundcard placement: -1/10

    Total: 5/10

  • thanks haha :p

  • What's a better pair for Bass, Surround, and Clarity?

  • 4. Futher more about the USB soundcard.. sometimes the sound card will go all weird (even with sounddrivers properly installed)... the sound volume might snapp to about 2-3 times the max volume.. resulting in:

    1. "getting you almost deaf"... hurts like hell in the ears... + plus you cursing the manufactures of the USB soundcard.

    2. and then after a couple of times.. the speakers will start to break.. (so you will start to get weird defect sounds like an untuned radio channel).

  • I agreed with your comment.

    My problems was that, the cable is super long! Why on earth would you need that much cable length? It's not like you can plug it into a TV and watch it on your bed or anything, it's a USB headphone meant to be use on the computer.

    The controller is all the way down at the bottom of the cable. I don't understand why they set it like that. Not only that, but the light won't stop blinking.

    The mic will sometime shocks due to ESD around your body. It's very painful.

  • //a little add to the 2:nd point

    the cable lenght also result in you tripping over it (also resulting in breaking the USB soundcard.

  • (the 2:nd)

    2: Next out is the 2 meter long USB Cable with USB soundcard inside the volume controller. Now...say that the front usb port max 1 meter away.. so what happends with the remaining 1 meter? it getts entangeled around the chair legs all the time (resulting in breaking the USB soundcard)...

    Futher more... the volume controller is far from the headset, so it will get smashed agains allmost everything (like the edge of the desk for example), (also) resulting in breaking the USB soundcard.

  • Thanks a lot for spamming, but don't you have the common sense to tie the wire up.

  • @ikcti

    What a immature comment, are you 14? If not, then try act a litle more like your age.

    I'm not spamming, I'm just trying to give a review / warning from an unsatisfied customer.

    And yes, I have tried to tie up the cable, but that doesn't realy solve the problem. (since they are stil shity) ^^

    Well I don't exactly hate these (infact I rly liked them at first). But after haveing them break down,after a week of normal usage, that sucks..^^

    The mic on the one my brother got broke.

  • So 4 all fellow gamers out there what got scammed by this crap.. next time buy either a headset with AUX or a USB headset with no USB soundcard inside the volume controller.

  • 3. And last out is the speakers. whell.... have you heard of the Nokia (cellphone) Speaker Phenomenon? in which the music is played on a volume what is actualy higher then what the speakers can withstand (resulting in breaking the speakers)?... Well this headset got the same Speaker Phenomenon(but even worse), it needs even less for the speakers to break.

    (continues in next post)

  • This gear is the exact same thing as the SpeedLink Meduza 5.1 USB Headset (and that was the worst crap I ever bought)... all they have done is change the color on it (a little color change doesn't change the fact what it is still crap)...

    1. First out is the "Surround" speakers.. you see if you ever open the headset for repair, you will see what the speakers are so close to each other, so what it becomes 2.0 Stereo Sound.

    (continues next post)

  • i just bought these they should be here in a few days

  • anyone else get really dodgy sound quality in CS:S? what settings must they be set at for CSS?

  • that is crap...buy a real headset like qpad qh-1339.

  • im guessing these work for ps3 cuz of the usb?

  • PC Mac and Linux ONLY

  • they look cheap,tritton axpro are the best lookn plus they have there own decoder that you can use with 5.1 real speakers

  • take off looks like a pilot =)

  • im about to get these pair

  • yeah me to

  • "Wear the pants!... WEAR THE PANTS...... And hopefully your pants match these, Cause these look really cool!" hahahahah

  • lol, come off of there...COME OFF OF THERE

  • From where did you buy it? I'm thinking getting them myself, i live in Lithuania.

  • BAd sync on the vid towards the end.

  • Wear the pants!

  • getting a pair tomorrow. will give em a proper test as its friday and there will be a 18 hour wow marathon!!!!

  • dude.thats harsh

  • head set like that for wow so you dont wake your parents up when your a 40 yr old loser

  • yup should have guesed typical american comment lol to be honest i own 3 houses and 1 game farm. so why dont u shut up and go fuck your sister like a good little hillbilly oo BTW never ever judge someone like that u might get a rude awakening someday.

  • im thinking of investing on a good headset what ones do u recomend? :D

  • G35 or Megadolon if you want a solid investment to last you for a long time.

  • can i use this headset for xbox360?

  • I don´t think so...

  • are Sweex headphones good ?

  • for headphones (or headset) i personally always go for sennheiser because their headsets are very tough and durable and the sound is so great :). but that's just my personal preference

  • the cyber snipa stinger on the other hand (the mouse) is fan-tas-tic, i've never had a mouse so comfortable and smooth, it just glides across your mousepad. i'd recommend buying the mouse before this headset.

  • i agree dude , the stinger mouse is fuckin awesome , got a pair of audio Expro 5+1 headphones , beats these headphones, got a built in force feedback and very very loud

  • the sound quality of this headset is really bad too, it sounds like your listening to cheap stuff the sound is muffled and metallic just like paronfisk said. for that kinda money i wouldnt buy this

  • for all the people reading this, i have this headset, they LOOK nice but they break really easy, the microphone broke after just one week of NORMAL use, i didnt throw with them just installed the software and all that, and usb ugh dont get me started just buy a normal headset with audio and voice plugs (the green and pink one) it's much better and saves you a lot of money and trouble (and guilt) im not posting this comment because i hate this thing i just want everyone to know it breaks easy

  • wtf usb

  • I have one, I don't like them.

  • why ? I was planning to buy one. Why are they not good ?

  • Lots of things. The microphone is bad quality and have a metallic sound, and it is in metal so people can hear some of your headphone sound sometimes. The remote have two very bright blue lights that drives me crazy. They take 60% of one usb host controller, so one of my computer cant even use them. The other one that I use 4 LAN can but it can take several reboots to get it right. And the software is pretty ugly and not really helpful...
