    Product Description
    Icemat Siberia In:Ear Headset consists of in-ear earphones and a unidirectional microphone. The headset is specifically designed for a multitude of uses including MP3-players, laptops, the Sony PSP and other consoles (sound isolation allows for low volume settings) as well as IP-telephony (separate microphone). The customizable earphones can easily be adjusted to fit all ear sizes by shaping the foam on each earpiece. The headset effectively blocks background noise, allowing for listening and IP-telephony in noisy locations. The volume can easily be adjusted with the separate volume regulator. The microphone is unidirectional and can be attached to both cord and clothing.

    Amazon.com Product Description
    The Icemat Siberia In:Ear Headset shuts out outside noise with in-ear phones that can be used with MP3 and other audio players, computers, and gaming consoles. Its versatility and low weight provide a combination of functionality and portability not found in other headsets.

    You can adjust the phones to your ear size by shaping the pliable foam on the earpieces. Volume control is handled by a separate 1.8-meter cord with a knob on the end, while the unidirectional mic comes with a clip that's easily attached to your shirt or the phones cord. Replacement in-ear buds will come in handy if you lose the originals, and Icemat even provides a device to clean the phones. Gold-plated connectors help ensure the smooth transmission of sound to your ears. This Headset is ideal for VOIP and game chat in noisy locations thanks to its efficient blocking of background: one of the reasons why it's received certification from Skype.

    Specially designed for PC gamers, portable audio enthusiasts and VOIP, the Icemat Siberia In-Ear comes complete with a removable clip-style lapel microphone for VOIP, network chat, and voice recording. A separate detachable dual-port audio control offers easy access to volume control. Also included are replacement in-ear buds and a cleaning device.

    5 out of 5 stars Somebody doesn't know SOUND.   October 23, 2008

    Hey folks... this headset / mic combo is "the b*lls". It doesn't get much better than this. I dont think there's any way I could beat the deal I got. 10 bucks for my set. I love it. The microphone works great at work for Skype on my laptop. I have the Mic mounted on my computer (didn't want to get wires tangled by mounting on my shirt) and I can sit back and have a normal telephone voice with the other party hearing me just fine. I don't know much about background noise with the mic although I have used it at home with the TV on across the room. So maybe it's good with eliminating b/g noise.

    The headphones are cool too. As another reviewer notes... I have heard things in my music that I've never heard before. So the response these have is awesome. And the headphones are great on the subway too ( I live in NYC and take the train to work every day -- playing games on my PSP the whole time is much better with these headphones). Audio Level is good and I don't have to press it further into my ear to hear something over the train (I've done that with other headsets). The comfort level isn't great... but I've gotten used to it... and in the middle of a socom game, it's probably better to hear what I need to hear.

    The iPhone... these are not iPhone compatible out of the box. You'd need a coupler for that b/c there's only one jack on the iPhone. I would suggest getting something different for the iPhone. I imagine walking around with a separate mic would REALLY be annoying.

    I haven't tried the other attachments that came with it yet... but I imagine the optional "ear cuffs?" (don't know what they're called) are probably more comfortable but don't cancel outside noise as well.
    The fact that it comes with an extension is also straight DOPE. Haven't used that yet either... but I love the concept.

    Bottom line is...
    If you can find these head phones, get them. After using them, I'd probably pay more than 20 bucks if I had to replace them. For 10 dollars, it's a steal.

    What drew me to this item was the compact size. With a laptop & a webcam it's perfect. The earbuds fit into anysize ear. And the microphone doesn't pick up any background noise.


    3 out of 5 stars Not much bass, but decent product   October 26, 2007

    I agree with Mark's review below about the bass. Most of portable device doesn't have bass control. It doesn't give full & rich bass sound. Design is pretty good and comfortable fit. Overall, it's decent product for the price.


    4 out of 5 stars Great for the ears   September 8, 2007

    I love them because they fit nicely inside your ear. the only problem is I am not able to use the mic since there is no where on the I-phone to plug the mic...this does not make since to me, I thought they said this are for the IpHone. I guess i was wrong

    These are great, I use them for gaming at night and take them to work in my mp3 player in the morning

    Convenience:
    Most headphones only have a short cord, with these there's the option for long and short with the extension. I've got plenty of room now. And I can leave the bottom half plugged into my computer, so when I come home I dont have to pull the computer out just to stick in my headphones and mic.

    Sound Quality:
    I can pretty much hear myself breathing when I dont have any sound coming through them. They block out outside noise, and I'm hearing things in music and in games I never heard before even with speakers. And the best part is the volume is turned way down. You dont have to crank it up in order to overshadow the background noise, there is none.

    Comfort:
    They are a tad bit itchy, but that comes with any inside the ear earphones. One thing I like is that it fits easily inside your ear, I have small ears and the headphones for an ipod or any other inner ear-phones kill my ears after 30 mins, these are very comfortable. And they dont fall out or need repositioning, they fit right in.

    Assets:
    It comes with 3 sets of rubber things for the ear peice, all different sizes, some with out the lips.
    Extention for the mic and the earphones
    A small grey bag to put them in to carry or for storing.
