Specifications

As with all our tests, specifications have been taken directly from the manufacturers website. The main thing of note is that the microphone on the 5H v2 USB and the Siberia Neckband appear to be identical, and the specifications bear this out. The Siberia In-Ear microphone has identical specifications too, so hopefully they all provide the same performance.
