Sebastiaan: My only issue with the clip on is *where* to clip it and still keep decent fidelity when talking at low volume (night gaming sessions, house, people sleepingâ€¦ :p) As to the cups not being deeper that’s sadâ€¦ I’m guessing that being bigger will help prevent them from touching my ear butâ€¦ I’ll have to try one of these myself! :)

Again, thank you for the review and reply. :)

Levi: I also have the v1. I prefer the clipon mic.

The cups of the v2 are bigger. As far as I’ve observed, not any deeper. The neckbands cups are a bit smaller, I think.

Hey,

Nice review! I have a question though: I have the old “original” Syberia (the ones with the clip-on “horrific” mic) and one thing that always bothered me were how shallow the “earpads” were (my ear would touch the actual hard surface inside the pads). Are the v2 (also including the leather pads) or these any deeper around the ear? If so, are the neckband any different (I think I’d prefer the headband) Now, are these any deeper around the ear as to avoiding contact?

Thanks Sebastiaan! ;)

They look pretty cool, wouldn’t mind having a pair myself. – Nice review.

I’ve never seen a set of large headphones with a neckband like that, but now that I have I’m quite intrigued. They don’t seem very common though…
