No bass on Siberia v2's

15 years ago

Hey, Just had this problem start a couple of days ago. Suddenly, for no explainable reason, I just stopped getting any bass (or strong low pitch sound for that matter) at all on my Siberia v2’s on the right headphone, then the next day it was gone in both. It randomly comes back again and so on, but in general its getting quite annoying.

I’d have thought it was a loose cable was it not for the fact that (as far as I know) theres only one driver in each side of a siberia.

Any ideas? I’m very picky about sound quality so i’ll likely try and get them replaced if it continues.

Cheers, Adam

edit: Thought I should also add, I know its nothing related directly to my computer as my MP3 Player headphones (Sennheiser PMX100’s) are fine on my computer, and vice versa my siberia’s have the same problem on my MP3 Player.

then there are 2 options imo :

1- the speakers a defect or
2- the cable is broken/hase a loosing connection inside (happens if you roll a few times over it with your chair or it get snapped)

so thats why it even dont works on your mp3 but the mp3 sennheisers on your pc :p

hope i can help you

adam, i get a similar problem on my v1’s, if i touch the volume control slightly the sound gets louder in one ear and and the bass just dissapears. Might possibly be the same for you, try messing about with the volume control to see if its the same.

Yeah, i get that to a lil, only if i fiddle with the slider thingy though. If i change ingame sound / pc sound it makes no difference.

I also get that, with the inline volume control, on my 5H V2s. Steelseries must be really bad at making volume controllers.

mm… I see that does make it go away. Just bloody annoying considering they have been fine for about 4-5months. :(

My steel series never had bass, I thought it was some CSS type thing for listening for footsteps or some thing. Useless for music/films etc. Even games, it makes it sound so tinny.

If I’d have done my research properly I’d have never have bought them complete waste of time.
