CM Storm Sirus 5.1 Gaming Headset Review

Straight out of the box the Sirus headset feels like a quality product. It has a solid feel to it, a weight that indicates a well-built product. The tactical mixing console is nicely designed, and is very easy to use. The turn style design of the...

CM Storm Sirus 5.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset Review

Finding a 5.1 gaming headset isn't hard, but finding one that's not riddled with problems is. Many companies have been entering the audio market in this way lately, and Cooler Master proves that it's not about to be left out. With its Sirus, we're...

After testing three different surround sound gaming headsets since starting here at Techgage, I think it's safe to say that these types of products will never be truly geared towards music and movies - though the Sirus certainly improves upon things.

CM Storm Sirus 5.1 Gaming Headset

Prepare to be blown away,but not by the enemy. Cooler Master proves that it can be good at anything with their new 5.1 surround sound headset dubbed the CM Storm Sirus. This handy hardware is geared towards gamers and audiophiles alike. With 4 speakers...

On-the-fly adjustment with Tactical Mixing Console ; Respectable sound quality ; True Surround Sound ; USB or analogue TSR connectors ; Highly customizable with software or sound card ; Works without software

USB interface subject to interference ; USB interface is power hungry ; Limited headband adjustments ; Microphone had low volume ; Software interface not intuitive

As predicted, the Sirus gave a solid performance. Sound quality was respectable giving clean tones from 20 Hz to 18 kHz. The 40 mm bass drivers provided clean sound without blasting the ears. Sometimes in games the bass was overpowering, but this was...

CM Storm Sirus True 5.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset Review

I didn't start gaming with a true gaming headset. I had a pretty lame Jerry rigged setup. It consisted of a set of Sony headphones and a separate elongated microphone that I taped to the headphones. The sound wasn't so great and the microphone was...

5.1 Surround Sound ; Comfortable ; USB and 3.5mm Connection ; Gold Plated Connections ; Tactical Mixing Console ; 2 Types of Ear Pads ; Excellent Mids/Highs/Lows

Software in Beta (Best quality needs manual setup) ; Mic LED not in a good line of view ; No Mic Boost

The build quality and overall performance of the CM Storm Sirus True 5.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset is excellent. Brain rocking bass levels can be achieved. The mids and highs were clean and clear. In all situations, the Sirus sounded great....
