The Icemat Siberia In:Ear Headset is a very solid and well sounding headphone set, with a good working microphone. The build quality is exceptional and should last you quite some time. This also justifies the price of almost 50 USD for the Headset combination and 30 USD for the headset itself, meaning that these are 10 USD cheaper than the Razer Pro|Tones 100. The only real gripe is the small bag, which does not fit everything which has been included in the package. The fact that Icemat produces these in black as well is great, as not everyone wants white headphones. The Siberia In:Ear will also go great with your iPod and the all golden connections add to the overall value of the audio device.
