It looks like Cooler Master is taking the whole audio thing pretty seriously. In the past few months we have see them release a total of four headsets. It begun with the higher end Sirus with its true 5.1 channel setup, which produced an offspring dubbed the Sirus S but it did not include a remote and had comparatively lesser sound features. Also there was the Sonuz, lower priced but still featured great mid-range sound quality. Now we have the Ceres-400. The Ceres-400 is the least expensive of all units but CM still promises good sound quality no matter what you are planning to use them for.

On tap we have the SP-HF800A 3-way speaker system. Don’t get this confused with a 2.1 audio system as this set is only two speakers with three drivers in each. Genius is aiming to give the audiophile in you all the frequencies between 80-20k Hz using two 2” woofers and a single 1” tweeter. We will see today if they achieve this with the HF800A.

Are you the causal gamer? You know the one that may get online once in a while to frag and blow up the enemy.

You feel that you really don’t need all the fancy features that come with the more expensive ones? Well, Cooler Master has an answer you and it comes in the form of the Sonuz. They are only $69.99. But what do you get for such a low price? Let us find out.

That one set of head phones would be the Vulcan ANC, the ANC standing for Active Noise Canceling. The Vulcan head set like many sets on the market want to give the purchaser great noise quality and comfort which is hard to find sometimes. We will be taking a look at the Vulcan and revealing just what we think of them. Are they only good for gaming or can you enjoy them listening to your favorite genre of music? We will find out shortly.

Thermaltake is one of those companies that has ventured in the eSport business and did it in a major way. Tt eSports has more products in its ranks than most company’s entire catalog. We recently received a box contains three products from Tt eSports and we will be reviewing each in detail starting with the Shock Spin gaming headset.

If you've decided it is due time to finally time to do away with the onboard audio on your mobile computer, wanting something that makes your music collection worth listening to, then you can turn to ASUS for that as well. The Xonar U3 is a compact USB sound card, not much bigger than a flash drive. The goal is to provide a product for the person who is constantly on the go, loves to listen to their music, but isn't going to settle for the integrated solution any longer. So exactly how good can such a tiny device actually be, can it really deliver anything close to what a larger sibling Xonar can? We plan to answer that, so sit back and dive in!

CM Storm showed off to a select few at CES in Las Vegas this past year, the Sirus 5.1 Surround Sound headset. CM is not only targeting the gaming enthusiast but the true audiophile. Consisting of front, rear, center and a sub the Sirus promises to make a splash in the audio category. But what makes the Sirus stand out besides its clear and precise sound but the Tactical Mixing Console. The Console allows the user the ability adjust the speakers and the sub individually.

The last system we took a look at was from Eagletech. A nice little system that had decent sound quality at low to mid volume levels. Today, we will be taking a look at a set of speaker from a company that may not be as well known as Logitech or Creative but promises to offer sound quality just as good. The Genius SW-G2.1 1250 is a four piece system that comes with two satellites, woof and controller station.

I got a chance to review the Arctic Sound P321’s a while back, letting you know they were a good and affordable set.  As such, I made sure to let Arctic know that I'd love to get my hands on their upgraded Professional 5.1 Gamer headset. Well my wish was granted, and I found a set waiting at home for me after work.  Now I know I’ve talked about how I always skimped out on the audio side of things, but I had been trying to change that. I had hoped to improve my first person skills a little and to enjoy my music a bit more, so I had been looking at upgrading my audio.  While keeping my eyes open for a great deal for this audio upgrade I became big fan of Newegg’s shell shocker deals, and over the last year I’ve gotten pretty lucky and picked up a set of Creative Fatality Gaming Headset and the Creative Fatality sound card.  Those two really are meant to be together and truly provide a boost to your listening pleasure by improving the overall sound quality.  So I must admit I’m a bit spoiled, which sadly to say despite my pleasant experience with the P321, was not that confident that the P531’s would be able to compete with the paired, high priced (before shell shocker) Creative set.

As Big Brother cracks down on cell phone usage while driving, along with their claims that texting and driving is hazardous to everyone else on the road, I’ve started to look into Bluetooth options. Specifically something that I can use with both my phone and iPod.  I’ve tried the little earpieces over the years, but the sound quality for music isn’t there. I gave the wired ear buds with a mic a try, but the wires always got in the way or got tangled up in my pocket. So when I saw that ARCTIC Sound had the P311 available I thought I would give them a try.
