Review: Cooler Master CM Storm Sirus 5.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset
Posted on: 2011-07-19 16:21:03 Author: SKYMTL @ Hardware Canucks At this year’s CeBIT the Cooler Master booth had many surprises in store for the competition, one of which was the latest edition to the “Storm” line: a 5.1 headset dubbed the Sirus. The Storm line is geared towards the professional gaming market and has been defined by its bold, innovative and above all else great designs. This mantra carries over into this new Sirus since it isn’t your typical “5.1” headset that creates a virtual 5.1 audio space using stereo speakers and some audio trickery. Rather, it has multiple speakers in each ear cup which are positioned to create a true directional experience. The Sirius also bucks the trend set by its competitors by including both Analog and Digital connectivity options as standard while its USB DAC has some pretty nifty advanced features built right into it. Does the Storm Sirus have what it takes to be one of the few exceptions in the 5.1 headset market? With an MSPR of $129.99 this is certainly not an inexpensive gaming peripheral so it really needs to hit the mark in order to overcome some of the more entrenched competition. Read The Review Here |
