I played Counter_Strike professionally from 2004-2007 and let me just say the icemat (were icemat) siberias where my favorite headphones, and believe me, I tried them ALL. Comfort, topnotch, depth of sound amazing, besides I wore them for the MP3 player on the plane trips, so they are pretty baller. They were one of the only headphones I could distinguish above and below me easily.
However I must say I am skeptical on these, they seemed to have changed them and use different components, perhaps I will pick up a pair and let you all know how they sound
Also I'm confused with the price: what's the difference between the $50 and $100 ones?? The microphone??
