I'm having a hard time choosing between these two headsets. I have quite a large head/ears so I'm looking to buy whichever one will be more comfortable for extended periods of time. Can anyone who has owned/used these two headsets give any information about them and why one is better than the other?
Thanks.

I have a Steelseries Syberia v2 and it's very comfortable and I wear them for many hours at a time. I haven't tried the Carcharias but I did used to have another Razer headset which broke after a month and wasn't that comfortable to begin with. It was one of their first models but after that experience I never purchased another headset from them, although I still use a Razer mouse, keyboard, and mousepad.

I have a Steelseries Syberia v2 and it's very comfortable and I wear them for many hours at a time. Since this is my opinion too.
buy the Steelseries.
btw chinya are u streaming right now?

I have the SteelSeries Siberia v2 and I have to say that the microphone quality isn't really up to par. Razer has really cheap build quality. If you want a high quality headset with a good sound and microphone go for Tt eSports headsets like the Shock One or Spin.

Well i have the raze carcharias and i wear it every day for hours and never had any problems with it, i can certainly recommend it ! I was really amazed with how comfortable it was when i put it on the first time but I guess both products are fine and in the end of the day it just comes down to your personal taste.

i have a steelseries and occasionally it hurts my right ear after about 10+ hrs of wearing them they are very clunky and hard to lie down in need to be perfectly straight the sound quality and passive sound cancelling is quite nice though i'm no audiophile these are the nicest headphones i've had can't speak to the razer gear but most likely because it's made by razer it has a short life hope this helped
oh and the cord is interesting it's really quite long but it basically just has an extension cable the cord that's connected to the headset itself it then plugs into the usb soundcard if you want to use it so the cord can get really really long i'd suggest tieing it in some way to avoid clutter and damage also the soundcard was nice because i couldn't fit a soundcard onto my mobo inside of the small case i have.

I've owned both...and honestly I have no complaints about either. The V2s had slightly better audio, and the Carcharias are slightly more comfortable. But only slightly.
IMO, which ever is cheaper. I'm not a fan of the flashy colors (white/red/orange), so go with black!
|
ss siberia v2 is riciculously comfortable, almost comparable to the ath a700s
The leather cups will keep your ears cool and dampen noise, but both headsets barely have any noise reduction. Some people complain about the carchaias mic, so, your choice. I have the v2 and i have no complaints about it.

I have the Siberia v2 after a year of use or so the sound controller the whire little box does not work well every time i try to change the audio levels it starts to make some weard noises and the mic does not work well. As for the comfort there realy good for long hours of playing im considering buying a Carcharias myself
|
I had both of them for a week and my choice was the Carcharias. At first I had some problems with my TS because of an echo. But the comfort is the biggest pro argument in the world. Every head fits. Really every!
The Siberia was quite nice too. Nice sound and mic quality but it really pressured my head after 2 hours wearing it(I wear glasses while playing).
Just comfortwise the Carcharias is the better one. There aren't any big problems, only the mic is a little bit too quiet without mic boost(shouldn't be a problem).
I hope I could help you

Thanks for all of the replies guys. I too wear glasses and I'm looking for a headset and these two are in my price range. On Amazon.co.uk, the V2 is £61.99 whereas the Carcharias is £69.20 but I also have a £7.50 off voucher so I could get the V2 for £54.59 or the Carcharias for £61.70. This small price difference doesn't mean much to me, I just want the headset with the best sound, mic and comfort out of the two.
|
Anyone else had experience with either of these headsets? I really can't decide between the two.
|
Coming from a gaming background, I can honestly say the Steelseries. I've used Razer headsets and I really don't think that highly of them. They're robbing their buyers with the price being that high.
I'd definitely go for the Steelseries Siberia V2. You'll never look back. Either way, if you don't get on with them, which well, you won't, you could send them back and then purchase the Razer headset. As said though, this won't happen.
|
Only problem is most UK retailers have told me that if I took a headset out of the packaging, tried it and didn't like it, I wouldn't be able to get a refund or exchange it for another headset.
|
Razer has great mice, but with all honesty they're headsets are subpar for the price. The Steelseries V2 is the best headset for the buck in my eyes. Happy hunting.
|
Do you use the V2 or have you used the Carcharias by any chance?
|
Looking for a few more opinions before I make my final decision.
|
The Siberia wins between these 2 for gaming purposes, but I suggest audio-grade headphones with a separate mic if you want to use your set for anything other than gaming. Gaming headsets do not have good sound for music.
|
I L O V E my Siberia's. They fit my head so perfectly, they barely feel like they are there, you can wear them for hours, the sound is amazing. They come with a very long cable, and a volume adjuster w/ disconnect. They look wicked too ^^
The only thing you may or may not like it they are not noise cancelling. I personally like this cause while on skype or talking to someone in my room I dont yell and can hear outside noises.
edit: they come with a detachable mic, or if you want the "better" Siberia V2 it comes with the mic attached to the headset and I think a usb?
|
Yeah, it's the Siberia V2's that I was looking at.
