Cooler Master CM Storm Ceres-500 Gaming Headset Review

The Ceres-500 is a cost effective headset that works not only with computers but also with consoles as well, if you're running dual gaming setup as such then this headset could be the one for you.

CM Storm Ceres 500 Gaming Headset Review

ConclusionOver the time I have spent testing the CM Storm Ceres 500 I really did enjoy it. It offers the ability to be plugged into 2 different systems at the same time. This is great for people with multiple systems. One of the other great things is...

Long Cable Cord, – PC/PS3/PS4/Xbox Support, – Can be hooked up to 2 Systems

Distorted bass in highly explosive areas or at lower frequencies

Cooler Master CM Storm Ceres 500 Headset Review

The Cooler Master CM Storm Ceres 500 is a solid, if unremarkable headset that might just fit the bill if you need it's specific features and functions.

Great aesthetics and adjustability, Easy for PC use and good sound clarity

PC installation a bit cumbersome because of longer cable, slightly limited mic adjustability, slightly weaker bass

Cooler Master Storm Ceres 500 Review (Page 1 of 4)

When 2014 rolled around, the first question I asked myself was whether or not I would make a New Year's Resolution. Resolutions are quite common around the beginning of a year, as leaving the past and looking forward to the future gives people a sense...

To answer our question posed in the introduction, I can say that the CM Storm Ceres 500 is much improved from the past model. Physically, the design is refined, but conservative. This unassuming design allows users to fit in with both the conservative...

CM Storm Ceres 500 PC, Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3 Gaming Headset Review

Tidy design, Comfortable fit, Good sound quality, Multi-format compatible

None

CM Storm have certainly proven they can make a reliable console compatible headset with the Ceres 500 and while I’m fairly certain that they’ve played it safe with this product, it is still a great starting point for what could be a new market for the...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Broke within 4 months.

Tied to RMA this item and Cooler Master customer support has been a joke up to this point. Goods were received 2 months ago, so when I called to follow up it took hours for someone to answer the phone. It would just ring and ring then send you to voice...

Sound was good for the price point.

After fairly light use and well care, one of the headphones snapped off 4 months after purchase.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

A bit disappointed

The speakers are amplified though the USB port. The headset will not work with portable devices. While I did try it with my smartphone the mic worked but the speakers did not. The headset is a bit heavy which gives it a solid feel. I purchased these...

Long USB cable, Detachable (gooseneck) microphone, rotating speakers. cloth foam padding. The speakers fit nicely around my ears..

I was disappointed with the sound quality, I expected better. The bass doesn't produce a clean sound, sounds muffled. The speakers rotate inwards, instead of outwards. Ideally you want to be able to wear them around your next with the speakers facing...
