what's up Tech fans Kevin here on ticket tomorrow now normally my share the videos on this channel are focused just on talking about games themselves but today we're gonna do something a little bit different and talk about accessories and we're gonna do a review of this the CM Storm Pulsar gaming headset from Coolermaster now normally this retails for $89.99 but you can find on Amazon right now for about 83 bucks we're gonna walk you through a little unboxing of it talk about some of its features sound quality and form factor and let you know whether or not it's worth your dollar in today's competitive gaming headset market so let's check them out so here we've got the headsets still all boxed up let's just go ahead and rip off this plastic covering it so you can more clearly see the box details now on the front we get a little stylized picture of it's showing lighting effects coming off of the headset with the full name the pulsar aluminum gaming headset with a few of the main features being listed on the side of the box we have a listing of all the specifications for the headphones mic and inline controls and on the back we have a full picture of the headset pointing out some of the key features such as the detachable mic and the customizable plates which we'll talk about later sliding this cover off you can see that this just a plain simple black box we lift this lid right here and bam there's our headset with the mic first off as you can clearly see the mic is a detachable design to help make the whole headset way more portable and then we have the actual headphones themselves with this sleek yet sturdy black and aluminum design also inside the box we have a little QuickStart guide for the headset and a nine-foot cable for hooking it up to your computer so enough with the unboxing let's talk about how this thing performs and what kind of features it has to offer now to begin with this is an illuminated headset which means that while it's plugged into your computer not only can check your friends or yell at people over the internet but while you're doing so you're gonna have white LED lights coming out of the side of your head from the crevice between the actual headphone and the aluminum plate on the side which is cool because there's not that many eliminated headsets on the market just yet now speaking of these aluminum plates on the side this is actually one of the more unique features of this headset is that these are actually designed to be very easily removable and reattach Bowl meaning you can take them off and customize them how you see fit you could spray pay them a different color at a decal or a symbol of some sort and make the headset all the more your own now this is a wired headset so it does need to be plugged into your computer at all times though it's not that big of a deal because it does come with a three meter cable which is almost 10 feet in length that's way more than enough if you're using it at your desk and it's still plenty for trying to have some kind of living room set up now don't let the USB cable at the end fool you this is not a USB headset you only need to use the audio and mic jacks for it to properly work on your computer the USB plugin is only required to power the lights for the headset now on the cable we do have some inline controls just the basic pairing of what you need an on/off switch for the microphone and volume controls as well now speaking of the mic as we said earlier it is detachable the wallets plugged in it's very secure it's not gonna wiggle around a lot it's not gonna move long while you have attached the headset so you can move your head around worrying about the mic getting out of place you can still make sure to place it where you want thanks to its flexible and bendable design now as for a form factor it's a really solid design it's a bit plain looking at first for my taste but once you have the white LEDs on it really brings it to life and the lights are at just the right brightness they're not blinding but they're not subdued either and if you're not a fan of the aluminum design then great just go ahead and attach the plates like we said earlier and change the color as you see fit either way the aesthetic ends up working out really well now of course looks alone aren't everything of course one of the biggest factors that most people care about with headsets is of course comfort and this one handles it really well the headband is of course adjustable like most headset designs so you can have it fit your head while the cushions on the top and ear cups are very soft so you can use them for extensive gameplay periods but firm enough to hold up over time I was able to wear this headset for several hours before experiencing any kind of major ear pain or discomfort so it definitely passes the comfort category with flying colors now all these things aside the one big important question is of course how does it perform sound wise now to be clear this is a gaming headset strictly balanced for gaming meaning there's a very heavy emphasis on bass and highs for things like explosions gunshots things breaking or shattering basically all loud sound effects there's nothing stopping you from listening to music or watching movies with these it's just that there's better headsets out there that are balanced for that kind of thing though these might work for the occasional action flick that's Michael Bay style where there's more explosions than dialogue gaming wise though this headset sounds really good a lot of different explosions the sound effects can go off at once and still cleanly come through all together the only thing that ever ends up getting subdued or drowned out by other sounds is in-game character dialogue and only what it's trying to compete with those other things at the same time now as for how the microphone sounds we're gonna let you guys hear that firsthand now as you can see here I'm wearing the headset and the audio you're hearing right now isn't being recorded by our usual mic setup but actually by the headset mic itself hooked up to our little Sony recorder right here now this is a noise cancelling microphone so it's gonna do its best to drown out any kind of noise in the background that is a too loud or too sharp that way your voice comes through cleanly during game chat so as the pulse our gaming headset one of the best headsets out there not particularly is it a good headset for its price point definitely especially if you're in the market for getting an illuminated headset without breaking triple digits on the downside it is wired although you do have an almost 10-foot length cord to work with and it's not surround sound but it's comfortable customizable and offers good quality sound for gaming well that was our review that the Pulsar aluminum gaming headset from Coolermaster if you guys want to grab one for yourself check out the link in
