If it seems like we’ve been on a PC gaming, and more specifically, headset warpath as of late, well…it’s because we have been. The latest headset to call our head home is a more obscure brand, Genius. Their Cavimanus 7.1 headset might raise some eyebrows with it’s flashy name and “7.1″ verbiage. But is it really all it’s cracked up to be, especially considering it is 7.1 digital surround sound is only powered by two actual drivers?...
Another day, another gaming headset. We’re becoming quite the gaming headset encyclopedia over here (and we’re definitely not complaining). That said, after several other competitors gave us some of their best products to test, Coolermaster piped up, showing us their Sirus 5.1 offering.
