Great headset, a lot of bass, good built quality and very comfortable in the head.

I was also impressed by the fact that CM included analog connections if you didn't want to use the built-in USB audio card.
Chris Long
The REAL 5.1 surround sound is very immersive, while stereo sounds (such as just listening to music) also sound very good.

Style Name: Sirus (with Control Module)
I hate making an overly dramatic statement about anything, but I can't help it this time. This is simply the best, most full-featured headset I've ever used. That is, at least for me and the features I care about.

Let me start by saying, I've been an avid PC gamer for as long as there have been sound cards and headsets to go with them. Within the last two years, I've tried out, no less than, 6 different headsets from manufacturers like Asus, Plantronics, Corsair, Turtle Beach, Sennheiser and Logitech. If you're anything like me, you do a lot of review reading to try and figure out what will work best for you. It's amazing how wide the discrepancies can be in headset reviews. In my experience, each headset always had strong weaknesses to go with any strengths. This time, it seems we may have finally broken the mold.

This is what I look for in a gaming headset, and how the Sirus performs (as well as some comparisons to others I've tried).

- Comfort. You're going to be wearing this thing for possibly hours on end--it's no fun to have to keep taking off your headset to rub your head or worse, have to quit because you just can't take it any more. For me this is one of the big highlights of the Sirus headset--it's a really comfortable fit. It doesn't put your head in a vice-grip like the Plantronics GameCom 377 I tried out. I *think* I have a large head, and it fits snug, but is adjustable height-wise, as well as having some free ear cup movement so it adjusts to the back of your head. When putting on a headset, I usually know very quickly if the fit is going to be a problem. After a few hours, these have done what they're supposed to do: let you forget that you're wearing something over your head. Are they the best I've ever worn? NO.

Style Name: Sirus (with Control Module) Verified Purchase
I've had these headsets for about 2 weeks now and are my very first pair of headsets that I have bought. The only other headsets that I have used are simple in-ear headphones from Creative, so my experience is very limited. My first impression after unboxing them was that the build quality was extremely well done. There's not a single thing on the headset that suggests that CM had skimped on cheaper materials. They are incredibly sturdy and feel very nice in hand. The headset looks beautiful and the red lit CM logos on the ears blend in quite nicely, so aesthetically, these are top notch in the looks department.

Wearing them was quite a treat as well, they fit nice and snug on your head. Some people complain about the slight vicegrip like feel, it might be my head size, but the vice grip feel is very minimal and the effects only set in after roughly 6+ hours of use. The cushioned headband sitting on top of your head is nice and rarely noticeable and makes for a comfortable fit. The headset comes equipped with 2 sets of ear cushions: a mesh and a leather version. The mesh cushion is AMAZING, it allows for alot of breathing room and thus reduces the heat inside that ear chamber which results in a longer more comfortable usage period. The leather version is nice and snug as well, but as we all know, continued usage leads to some discomfort as the ear chamber gets too hot. The ear cushions did not provide as much noise cancellation as I had originally hoped for. The leather cushion does not provide that much of a noise cancellation environment compared to the mesh one, so I would personally always stay with the mesh as the breathing room comfort is unmatched.

Style Name: Sirus (with Control Module) Verified Purchase
Impressed with my CM Storm Sniper case I have found CM's Storm brand to be very nice in quality. But, I still read up on other headsets first. Corsair certainly sells some which perked my interest. 50mm drivers/etc were what almost had me. But in the end, the recommendation to Sirus a guildmate in my SWTOR guild gave me, pushed me over the top. He uses a Sirus and has very much loved it. My recent purchase of a Asus Xonar DG also added to it some. Wanting to try out the 5.1 audio functions I realized that while Corsair had the huge drivers, it didn't seem like it offered a true 5.1+ surround experience.

The Sirus itself doesn't disappoint. It is a very solid, sturdy, and comfortable headset. I never knew how good audio could be on my PC till I bought this headset. Everything is just so much richer that it makes me wish I hadn't wasted years on cheap Radioshack headsets. But I will note that to get the full benefit of the headset will vary depending on your system. For my Xonar I had to tune settings a bit before I was finally happy with it.

So why then do I not give this a full 5 stars? Simple. Documentation with the headset is very minimal. It implies that people want to run this through the provided puck device. While it works good with it, it isn't the same as a full sound card. In fact, I own a little C-media USB audio attachment. They are very basic in functionality but they work good if you don't need major audio. The puck is similar. It provides a few better audio options than my little device, but it relies a lot on the user manually tuning the audio via the dial.

When I saw the puck I was hoping it would work in tandem with my Xonar. This turned out to be false.
