Cooler Master Storm Sirus
Perhaps the first thing to draw your attention to the Sirus is the imposing design of the headset. Everything is made of hard angles and thick high-quality plastic, and it makes the headset look larger than it actually is. The band that sits on your head, for example, is a good two inches wide and nearly half an inch thick in the center. The girth of the band is put to good use by featuring the CM Storm logo in large letters written across the middle.
Every surface has a smooth, silicon-like texture to it, and the plastic has just the right amount of flex in it to let you know that it isn't so strong that it is brittle. This headset features full can designs with a cool looking vented exterior appearance. Each can houses the CM Storm text and the CM Storm flame logo design in the center of the can. When the headset is receiving power, the flame logo (and the surrounding vents) both light up with a dull red glow, leaving quite the impression while also letting you know they are working.
The left can contains an identical design to the right, with exception of the retractable boom microphone. The microphone is about 6 inches long with the Sirus logo emblazoned long the length of it, and it has its own separate power LED to let you know whether the microphone has been muted or not without requiring you too look at the control puck.
The microphone is extended by rotating it forward away from the headband. One nifty thing about the mic is that it also can be bent into place to better cut down on vocal distortion.
All of the cords used are of a high quality, durable type wrapped in a thick nylon weave. Unfortunately, the TRS adapter cables are not, being normal rubber-wrapped cords of a considerably thinner construction, likely due to the complexity of the 5-way splitter where the four TRS cables and the USB power cable come together. That being said, the connectors themselves are still gold plated on both the normal USB connectors and the TRS adapter cable, so loss of audio quality shouldn't be worried about so long as more care is taken with the cables themselves.
