Corsair 1500
Reasons :
Best ASS
Better at music thab V2 with good bass.

Overall V2 is a decent offering but the price is not justified , i mean not in your case but at its retail price.

I thought its not that good for music. Maybe it will be better than my Phillips cheap one bought around 500 rupees from FK.

I have heard both Siberia V2 and Corsair 1500 and I own a Corsair 1500. V2 is good for music only but when it comes to Movies and Gaming, nothing beats Corsair 1500, even the higher priced Headphone for that matter. Only Razer Megalodon can beat it because its music is also damn good. However I have second Headphone for music purposes. Its not that Music on 1500 is bad, its just that you'll need to tweak it to your liking, the default modes are not good enough and so you have to tweak the settings manually.

Why would someone need an amp with siberia? The siberia provides good power, so it can drive most headphones, and the drivers come with inbuilt equalizer panel, works better than amp, also an amp will be useful for really costly headsets, just for example the FiiO E6 I use does almost nothing when using siberia, but does when using a mobile.

It wasn't Lol couldn't u tell me earlier? They had 1300 mostly there and 2000 but no 1500 :(

I am sorry :lol: really sorry:lol:. I have lived in Delhi for more than 4 years so know that place and people very well so I knew you won't it there.
And BTW when did you asked me whether you would find it in Nehru Place or not ?? :twisted:
Anyway contact Vedant Computers for 1500. I guess they have it. :)

Kave all the way, Vengeance are good, but if you're paying that much for a 2.0 HP get a audiophile grade HP like Audio Technica M35 or AD700.

Actually I hardly listen to music at all. I purchased that HP because I had less money that time and I don't use speakers. I am actually thinking about buying Kave but the problem is that what would I do with 1500 then. I mean I'm gonna use one of them because both basically serves the same purpose. I use HD202 for in Journey listening which is obviously not an option for 1500 or Kave.
