            <title>[BULK] Steelseries and Icemat Gaming Headsets</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/525300</link>
            <description>&lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;span style='color:blue'&gt;Steelsound 5H USB v2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://www.aerowave.com.my/images/products/SS0200400.JPG' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SteelSound 5H v2 USB is an optimized version of the original SteelSound 5H USB headset. The new headset features improved microphone quality, a longer microphone cord, bigger (and more comfortable) ear cushions, additional frame pressure and numerous other technical design improvements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;span style='color:blue'&gt;Features&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('79aae8b43c67c278d9ed8f9fd53394ad')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;79aae8b43c67c278d9ed8f9fd53394ad&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;Custom-engineered soundscape designed specifically to enhance performance and immersion in gaming. This headset was developed and optimized for in-game sound frequencies, which makes in-game sounds like footsteps, alerts and gunfire especially clear. You will be able to hear and pinpoint the location of your opponents, often before they hear you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Full-size headphones gently fit around the ears and reduce background noise, while providing maximum wearing comfort. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The USB soundcard ensures a consistent sound experience, no matter what computer system it&amp;#39;s plugged into. Dedicated gamers will especially benefit from the USB soundcard, as it allows them to experience the exact same sound as they normally play with, even when playing at tournaments or at LAN-centers. Just bring your SteelSound 5H v2 USB with you - and you&amp;#39;re set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bringing the headset with you has never been easier or safer. The SteelSound 5H v2 USB can be easily dismantled into 3 separate parts, which makes transportation a breeze. The pieces will easily fit into a bag or a carrying case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SteelSound 5H v2 USB also features a pull-out microphone system. The retractable microphone is practically invisible when not in use. The microphone cord is covered in high quality transparent plastic to ensure long-lasting durability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The newest driver for the SteelSound 5H v2 USB can be found &lt;a href='http://www.steelseries.com/drivers/SteelSeries_USB_Soundcard_Driver_Disk_2.0.zip' target='_blank'&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;span style='color:blue'&gt;Technical specifications&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('0ade466ea6a463f256028da0a9230e25')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;0ade466ea6a463f256028da0a9230e25&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Headphones&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frequency response     16 - 28.000 Hz&lt;br /&gt;Impedance                  40 Ohm&lt;br /&gt;SPL@ 1kHz, 1 Vrms      110 dB&lt;br /&gt;Cable length                1 + 2 = 3 meters (10 feet)&lt;br /&gt;Connectors                  3.5 mm&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Microphone&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frequency response     75 - 16.000 Hz&lt;br /&gt;Pick up pattern            Uni-directional&lt;br /&gt;Sensitivity                   -38dB&lt;br /&gt;Impedance                 2k Ohm&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Soundcard&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;USB                           2.0&lt;br /&gt;Surround sound          Virtual 7.1&lt;br /&gt;Equalizer                    12 channels&lt;br /&gt;Jack                           2 * 3.5 mm, USB&lt;br /&gt;Operating systems      Win XP/Win 2000/Win98/Win ME/Mac OS&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;span style='color:blue'&gt;Price&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;span style='color:blue'&gt;RM460&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;!--emo&amp;:drool:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/drool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='drool.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; (The price for non usb version will be RM370)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;span style='color:blue'&gt;Icemat Siberia Headset USB&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://www.icemat.com/images/19/487-590.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;span style='color:blue'&gt;Features&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('d0c9663e40f4bce5631f5acb5dbe8ee8')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;d0c9663e40f4bce5631f5acb5dbe8ee8&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;Design, comfort and performance go hand in hand with this truly unique headset. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Icemat Siberia USB Headset is glossy white or black and looks like no other headset.

            <description>&lt;a href='http://www.gotfrag.com/portal/story/37454/' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.gotfrag.com/portal/story/37454/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;The following piece is satire. The views expressed herein are solely those of the author and not of GotFrag or its advertisers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to sources, the CPL died in a closed door meeting where their current course of action was finally agreed upon. Due to difficulty in finding people to eulogize the CPL, I have opted to use their own words to remember this once great organization&amp;#39;s passing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following the 2006 winter event the CPL had been silent while the community awaited the finalized CPL 2007 World Tour announcement. Having previously named Counter-Strike 1.6 and Quake 3 as tour games in the previous year, many expected the coming CPL announcement to simply rubber stamp what had previously been announced. However in what is a disturbing CPL trend, the CPL reversed its decision (like with COD, CS:S, Quake 4, DOD, etc.) leaving the Quake 3 community to wither on the vine and abandoning it&amp;#39;s core constituency, CS 1.6, which it vowed to defend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &quot;The CPL's One-Versus-One Competition Committee has extensively discussed the negative impact to the sport of changing games from year to year. In an effort to provide stability to the deathmatch community, the CPL is pleased to also announce that Quake 3 has been unanimously selected as the one-versus-one competition game for its 2007 World Season.&quot; said the CPL in September of 2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CPL ran ground breaking Quake tournaments in the early years and featured some of the greatest Quake action to take place. However, when Counter-Strike was released it was featured as a side game that grew in popularity, eventually replacing Quake and marking the first community to be victimized by the CPL&amp;#39;s vision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &quot;The Cyberathlete Professional League today announced the cancellation of August's Counter-Strike Tournament and October's Quake III Arena Tournament. With the exception of a yearly charity event, the CPL will now only hold a minimum of two large-scale tournaments a year with cash purses of at least &amp;#036;150,000 each. This revised approach to competitive gaming in the United States promises to yield stronger growth for the CPL through consolidated efforts. ... While the CPL has not solidified its choices for the game platforms of 2002, the league's enthusiasm for the Counter-Strike platform merits a promise for a repeat of this year's World Championship Event using the same game. Managing directors from the CPL worldwide divisions will meet in Dallas, Texas on June 28th to discuss the viability of other game platforms both old and new.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CPL held its next large scale Quake event in December of 2005.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From 2001-2004 the CPL was the acknowledged front runner in eSports. In the early part of this period the CPL teamed up with Turtle Entertainment, the folks behind ESL, to put on CPL events in Europe. All of these events were extremely popular and when they stopped, it ended an era of constant CPL competition. Throw in the CPL canceling a winter 2004 COD tournament and the slide begins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &quot;In Season 2004, the CPL will certify a series of qualifying tournaments in 40 countries that will culminate with two Final Events in the USA: Summer 2004 and Winter 2004. Additionally, two CPL Main Events will take place in Europe: Spring 2004 and Fall 2004. The entire 2004 Season will offer contestants and event participants a total prize pool of &amp;#036;600,000. The winners of the CPL Qualifiers and of the CPL European Events will also receive free travel to the Final Events held in the USA.&quot; from the CPL Europe site, September 2003.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &quot;The CPL announced that Call of Duty may be a primary official tournament for the Winter CPL Championships to take place Wednesday, December 15, 2004 to Sunday, December 19, 2004 in Dallas, Texas,&quot; said a CPL press release in May of 2004&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fast forwarding to 2005, the CPL revitalized its global vision by creating the first ever global gaming tournament, the CPL World Tour. For the game they picked the critically acclaimed and widely played game Painkiller. By widely played I mean by 25 people. While the CPL World Tour was interesting to watch, made quite a few people wealthy (albeit delayed), and gave eSports a lot of exposure, it also reinforced something about CPL&amp;#39;s mindset. Not only that but the CPL&amp;#39;s Summer Event was scheduled for the exact same time as ESWC and originally had CS:Source headlining the event. The CPL later came to their senses and re-added 1.6.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &quot;The CPL announced today that it will hold a &amp;#036;50,000 Counter-Strike 1.6 tournament at the Cyberathlete Extreme Summer Championships to be hosted July 6 - July 10, 2005 at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas. ... While the CPL is committed to Counter-Strike:Source, a large number of Counter-Strike teams remain loyal to CS 1.6 and have asked for an opportunity to compete at the summer event. The CPL realizes that many of those teams have given years of patronage to its events and has responded by offering them a CS 1.6 tournament,&quot; said the CPL in an April 2005 news post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2006 was to be a banner year for the CPL with Quake 4 and CS to be part a new world tour or season or series, whichever term they planned on tacking to this event to make it sound &amp;#39;revolutionary.&amp;#39; Yet sponsor trouble and the creation of the WSVG, lead to the death of the CPL World Whatever in 2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &quot;The entire business model of the World Tour has been changed for 2006 and in fact we are referring to it as the &amp;quot;CPL World Series.&amp;quot; Currently we are commencing our discussions with potential partners that want to hold qualifying tournaments for Counter-Strike 1.6 and Quake 4 in different world regions. If an event organizer is interested in participating in our new 2006 project it would be best for them to contact the CPL&amp;#39;s League Commissioner Justin Blanchard. There are a number of requirements and Justin will be managing the initial selection process for CPL,&quot; said Angel Munoz in an interview with Gotfrag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bastardized CPL World Season took place at the end of 2006 which qualified teams for the CPL&amp;#39;s winter event in 2006. The winter 2006 event was one of the better events that year, but apparently this was not enough to retain their high powered sponsors (the ATi and AMD logos are no longer on the CPL site).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &quot;During the event CPL&amp;#39;s President Angel Munoz and Vice-President Kimberly Vizurraga had long meetings with about 20 companies that are either current sponsors or are interested in becoming sponsors of the CPL. The comments received were exceptional and not one sponsor complained about the Championship Finals or the choice of games ... It&amp;#39;s puzzling to us that some people are trying to cast doubt about the CPL&amp;#39;s ability to choose games independently. Our sponsors recognize that these decisions are best left to the league,&quot; said Chris Moncivalles, the CPL League Commissioner, to GamingJunky at the beginning of this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This brings us to today. Left with no options and no way out the CPL has chosen two games that no one, even less than those who played Painkiller, care about. This once storied eSports pioneer has hit the proverbial iceberg and went down with the band still playing. Let us remember what once was and not what is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Services will be held in Verona, Italy, on May 11-13, 2007 as the shrouded corpse of what was once a great organization is paraded one last time before the small group of loyal staff and a very disappointed eSports community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reminder: as stated in the disclaimer above, this is a satirical piece. Don&amp;#39;t take it literally&amp;#33;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;</description>
