CM Storm uses a thick plastic headband to ensure that ruggedness is one of the Ceres-400's fundamental properties. At around 241g for the headset alone, the Ceres-400 certainly isn't one of the lightest solutions on the market.
The all-black unit with subtle red accents coincides perfectly with CM Storm's company image. A ‘light weight frame' was one of CM Storm's marketing points; we don't share that point of view about a 240g+ design that we'd consider as bulky.
A large, circular casing of plastic material houses the 40mm drivers and provides a medium onto which the 90mm earpads are mounted. On the outside edge of this casing, CM Storm uses a design consisting of an alternating recessed and protruding pattern.
The Ceres-400 product name is printed on the approximately 170-degree-rotatable, 14 cm-long, noise-cancelling microphone. CM Storm's logo located on the inner-circle of the right-side casing allows people passing by to quickly realise the brand that produces your headset.
An in-line remote provides easy-to-access control to the audio volume via a circular, rotational ‘wheel' mechanism. A slider device allows users to quickly toggle between the microphone's mute settings – perfect for avoiding the transmission of unwanted chatter during a gaming session.
A pair of gold-plated 3.5 mm jacks located at the end of a 2.5m-long cable provides connections for the microphone input and audio output signals.
I think thats a very stylish looking headset for the price. shame about the glue problem, but maybe that was an early review sample problem?
The corsair HS1A seems better value IMO
Davis, I hope it’s a problem related with early review samples ONLY. Whether this is the case or not, it shows the potential for such problems to occur again in the future, therefore requiring some form of attention by CM Storm.
