Hoot! CM Storm's Aluminum Series of Gamining Peripherals!! CM Storm Pulse-R

Updates:



This is the third unboxing review of the CoolerMaster CM Storm Aluminum Series of gaming peripherals.



I had chosen to use CoolerMaster CM Storm Pulse R for my gaming headset for this build. Chose this headset for the synergy of design, white LEDs, practical, well built and removable mic.







Apart from the removable Aluminum Plates, all of the CM Storm's Aluminum Series peripherals are using White LEDs so is the CM Storm Pulse-R too.







Unboxing the CM Storm Pulse-R felt like unboxing an audiophile headphone. The packaging is well design and felt the boxes house something premium in it.











Opened up the box, the headphone and the removable microphone could be seen. Really nice packaging and appealing. SEXY!



At first look, CM Storm Pulse-R indeed look very big. The headbands look thick and sturdy and the cups were huge and looks comfy to wear.











The aluminum plates are secured by the screws could be seen, same high quality aluminum plates and CM Storm logos could be seen on both sides. One side shown CM Storm Logo, and the other side engraves the word.











The ear cups of CM Storm Pulse-R are huge, personally I have a larger head size head and yet the headphones are able to fit onto my head comfortably.



CM Storm Pulse-R's head band are huge and comfy. Beside using high quality plastic as the main structure of the whole headphone, aluminum or steel head bands could be seen on the headband itself.



Using 42mm Drivers, the headphone can dish out decent sound quality and yet not compromising the design and comfort. It is more of Bass heavy side, which is very good for gaming and movie sessions. The ear cups are also huge enough to cup the ears to avoid noise leakage which means it does isolates the external noises as well as you won't be disturbing people you with your gun fires and explosions in games.







Comparing to my previous gaming headset which is Steelseries, 5HV2, CM Storm Pulse-R felt a lot more sturdy and not as flimsy as compared to the 5HV2 which I used to own.



The removable microphone is another feature I like about this gaming headset. Instead of having this microphone sticking out or having it to turn upwards. CM Storm Pulse-R allows you to totally remove the microphone if you dont intend to use it at all. The microphone is bendable as well in order to bend into position which best suited.



The microphone has CM Storm logo engraved on it as well. Nice touch to the little details.











The cables of CM Storm's Pulse-R are like its fellows brothers are all braided, and the volume / microphone controller could be found on the cables which allows fast access to the volume as well as turning on/ off of microphone a lot easier and faster.







The cables are 3 metres long and they are long enough for you to plug in to your sound card behind your PC and having a braided cable also helps to reduce the chance of your cables being entangled together.



What I love about these cables are, they are removable! One does not have to throw away the whole headphone whenever the cables are broken. For CM Storm Pulse-R, users will just have to replace the cables instead of replacing the whole headphone. Damaged cables are a common issues due to the rough handling during gaming sessions. Nice and well thought by CoolerMaster.



On one end you could find the mini USB plug which is to plug to the headphone and the other end you will find a USB cable with 3.5mm audio and mic plugs.



The USB cables are used to power the white LEDs on the headphones and the analog 3.5mm plugs are meant for audio and microphone.











CM Storm Pulse-R indeed impresses me with the lightweight, sturdy, well built and great sound quality headphone. Packaged it with nice and premium packaging, it really felt as if I am unboxing my AKG or Beyerdynamic headphones.







Thumbs up CM Storm Pulse-R and glad it had joined the family of CM Storm Aluminum peripherals I had gotten as well.
