With all the talk about surround sound, 5.1 speaker systems and 7.1 speaker systems, it is sometimes easy to forget that in some cases a pair of good headphones is to be preferred or even a necessity. I, for instance, cannot turn up the volume of my 5.1 system too high since I don't want to disturb the neighbors or my wife. At the same time, I want to be able to experience a good gaming session of World of Warcraft or Doom 3, and we all know that the sound is just as important as graphics.

Icemat is mostly known for their mouse pads, but they also have a new line of audio products. Today, I am testing their headphones, the Icemat Siberia, to see if Icemat makes gamer headphones that match the level of quality of their gamer mouse pads.
