Examination:

Upon initial examination, these headphones appeared to be exceptionally designed, but under thorough examination, we noticed a few diminutive flaws. The first noticeable flaw was the thin metal wire that connects the actual headset frame to the headband, which conforms to the size of your head. These two wires seemed to be rather skinny and could possibly be damaged overtime if kept in the bottom of a bag while transporting it to and from gaming events, but for the most part, they were reliable. The second item we took note of was the lack of adjustments that could be made to each headphone. Most headphones can be pivoted and rotated but these headphones could only tilt a small degree along with the adjustable setup depending upon the side of your head. However, the actual headphones do appear to be built well.


Icemat has taken a nice approach to the style of these headphones, coloring them white except for the foam that adjusts to the size of your head and the actual cups on the headphone that were black. As Siberia is a vast region of Russia, we see why the headphones are white to represent the immense amount of snow. Protruding from the headset is a one-meter cord with 3.5mm jack.

Although the headphones can be connected directly to your sound card or MP3 player,attached to the microphone is a volume regulator along with another 1.8 meters of cable. The actual microphone is a small circular microphone that can be attached to the included screen hanger, jacket, shirt, etc... The volume regulator is rather basic, with a simple adjustable dial.
