Thanks I did, added to main post

This has to be some sort of serendipity. I have been researching console headsets for the past couple of days. I never came across SteelSeries, but saw this deal alert, and after checking out some reviews, and the price of course, this is a winner.

Thanks so much!!!

Yea, steelseries is pro status for FPS gaming.

Ignore most Razer stereo equipment for it is subpar in construction and quality.

Steelseries headsets arent very good quality wise but unless you are an audiophile like me, you wouldn't notice the difference easily from decent ear buds and these.

These are definitely made for FPS ONLY though. The board and drivers are tuned and crafted for amplification of specific ranges of sound so that low tones like footsteps are brighter and loud tones like gun shots are more easily recognizable in a 3-D soundstage emulated around your head, instead of blowing your head off with loud pitched BADAK BADAK.

The only reason I don't buy these is because I have a great pair of sennheiser hd280pro which i got a long time ago. The headband is worn in for my oversized head and the drivers have a good burn in now and sound even better then 1-2 years ago when I got them

I ordered a SteelSeries Siberia V2 headset from 1sad.com about a year ago and it is still working great. Very comfortable and doesn't hurt my ears after hours of use. I picked them up for 39.99, so they are a little more expensive, but I'm guessing these are similar.

Please note: Ordering from this site may take 2-3 weeks for delivery. They ship USPS Parcel Post and sometimes take a week+ just to ship the item.

Perfect, Halo and other FPS are all I play online. Also, as a glasses wearer, these are perfect for me. One reviewer said that this is the only headset he's ever worn where he didn't have to take off his glasses to put them on. And they don't press against your glasses either.

Couple that with Livemix, and the fact they can be taken apart for transport, and they are a damn good deal for the price. I thought they would be refurb for $28! (though i suppose they could be and i would never know it...)

I got a pair from this website last time they had a deal. I can't seem to get rid of an incessant buzzing sound though when I plug them in. Tried researching online and then also tried it on a different xbox with the same result. Anyone have any experience with this?

I will say that the sound quality without the buzzing would be excellent.

Been looking for something like this, thanks!

The V2 isn't compatible with Xbox, right?

Are you using a play and charge kit? http://faq.steelseries.com/questi...headset%3F

If juryrigger's link doesn't help then the next option is to contact Steelseries and try to RMA it, it isn't normal for headsets to buzz.
