CM Storm Pulse-R Gaming Headset Review

 

Over the course of the past few weeks I have been using the CM Storm Pulse-R headphones. I have played many rounds of BF3 and countless hours in New Eden in Firefall. While the Pulse-R are mostly being marketed towards gamers it does lack in the other...

CM Storm Pulse R Headset Review

 

The second of our CM Storm reviews is the Pulse-R, and immediately you can see from the image at the top of the review why we're combining these into a single days worth of content. The aluminium plate with holes for an Allen Key speaks of...

CM Storm Pulse-R Review

 

CM Storm rejuvenate their peripheral line up and from the audio stable we get to take a look at the Pulse-R. Aluminium and LEDs abound, one thing is for sure, it's eye catching!

Audio can be a very subjective area, some prefer heavy bass, others enjoy clear vocals and high tones. Conveying 'best audio quality' can sometimes be difficult for writers, especially for those lacking in a varied audio experience. On top of this...

Gaming / Movies, not music

 

Overall being the market is a gaming headset, I think they hit the nail on the head. They have a good build quality and are quite comfortable wearing long term. I also have a few pairs of closed can studio headphones that I use on a regular basis, I...

I find these to be fairly comfortable even wearing for long periods of time "over 2 hours", the mic is crisp and clear and the white led inside that turns on when you enable the mic "if you have the usb power connector plugged in" is a nice way to let...

These are gaming headphones, not music headphones. No matter how much EQ work I did, I could not get them to sound even half decent with audio ; The mic seemed to pickup a bit of noise when I had the USB power plugged in, due to my setup I could only...

Impressive

 

If you want a well-built, insanely comfortable 3.5mm gaming headset that delivers some incredible bass performance for under $100, this set of cans may be just what you're looking for. Cooler Master did an excellent job with these. That said,...

First and foremost, I have to praise the Pulse-R's bass performance. The bass sounds simply incredible, whether you're listening to music or gaming. Things like explosions and gun fire sound awesome in-game. The bass is crisp and punchy with no...

The mids and highs could be a little better. This is evident when playing music. That said, this headset still performs admirably in that regard. Music will sound great after a little EQ adjustment. I'm not surprised by this, as this headset is tweaked...

Very Surprising Stereo Headset

 

Compared to much more expensive rivals from SteelSeries and Razer, these is a phenomenal mid-range headset. Microphone quality was much better than anything I've ever used in a sub-$100 headset, and the sound quality was on par with anything else out...

Great full range sound and deep bass. Metal construction. Very good microphone for a gaming headset (better than a SteelSeries 5hv2 and 7h). Very long cable with integrated volume and mic control. LED's on the cans, mic (which lets you know if the mic...

The headset doesn't break down, making traveling with it a little difficult. The mic locks in place and doesn't move, which didn't seem like a big deal but it's permanently stuck out at about 90 degrees from the left ear can. Very tight fitting...

Excellent Headset for Multiplayer FPS Gaming

 

The White light that illuminates the drivers, microphone and the the control looks cool at night, it surely makes your gaming ring that much cooler. The LEDs need power from a free USB port. I initially thought the headset had bulit-in USB sound card...

This is a great headset for multiplayer gaming due to the following reasons ; a) Comfortable fit ; b) Close fit cushion which filters outside noise ; c) Great Bass and Highs ; d) Mic is oriented nicely ; e) Ideal weight and balance making it...

The mid-range is not great, thus this headset is not good for listening to music. Difference is noticeable esp. when compared to Sennheiser HD201 which was my all purpose headset before CM Storm Pulse-R. But it just does not matter when FPS gaming

Looks nice

 

RMA for this first pair I received, hopefully the next will be in a better condition.

The headset is quite nice looking, aluminum build and looks like high quality plastic. Sound is pretty good when its working properly

Unfortunately my pair came back with a busted left driver, any bass and it would start to sound absolutely horrid. On top of that the mic has a lot of interference
