Today we are looking at the Icemat Black Siberia headset, this gaming headset with a twist. These headphones are produced by Steel Series, a worldwide company dedicated to producing top quality gaming products. We will see if this headset holds up to their high standards. These headphones are available worldwide; a quick Froogle check found them to going for $54.99 this puts them in the midrange cost of headsets. Let's see if they are really worth that price tag.
In the box you get everything you need and more, the headset includes a detachable microphone as well as a stereo adapter to go from the standard mini jack connection to the ¼ jack found on higher end stereo systems. The headphone cord itself is made of a heavier gauge cord than is typically found on most headsets the length of the cord comes in at nine feet; this is quite a bit longer than your standard headphones. This allows you to route the cord around other objects such as desks and monitors making it very easy to integrate these headphones into your computer setup.
The headphones themselves are constructed from moderately lightweight plastic. While they are not the lightest weight headphones I have used the design of them is such that they are still comfortable to where for an extended period of time.
The ear cups are large enough to fit over most people's ears, the padded ring around the headphone and the concave design of the cup allows them to rest comfortably against the side of your head without putting uncomfortable pressure on your ears themselves. This also helps to isolate outside noise providing a better listening environment. The cups also have decent ventilation again providing better comfort than typical headphones.
