When at work (or home) and you want to drown out the noise. Or to really appreciate music, without spending a bunch of money on a home theatre system or a high end bumping soundsytem for your car. The best choice is good headphones.

I'm looking at getting these soon. I love the look, and in white it will match the apple products I currently use. The audio quality is superb so I've read in reviews.

I'm speaking of the new Siberia v2 headphones. It offers gamers and music enthusiasts superior speaker and microphone technology that delivers insane sound quality, integrated control capabilities, and updated design for killer comfort and increased passive noise reduction. As an upgrade to the original Siberia, the v2 has a retractable microphone system that pulls out from the left ear-cup, allowing for a more convenient and portable headset great for gaming and tunes on the go or for video blogging on sites like Ustream.

Along with the new thicker leather ear-cups for sound isolation, the Siberia v2 is still lightweight while its trademark headband suspension construction makes it extremely comfortable for all day (and night) gaming or music listening. The volume regulator, the cord and its base have also been upgraded. The primary cord is shorter for use with portable gear and comes with an extension cable in case you want to plug in to a desktop.

SteelSeries Siberia v2 Full-size Headset will be available all over the world in November 2009. Pricing will be announced at that time as well.
