Installation
Since the Sirus is a high-end audio product, there is a little more involved than simply plugging the set in. The mentioned Tactical Mixing Console is a controller that connects the line from the headset to the PC. Using this controller, users have access to quick mute buttons for both audio and voice, and can tune the different channels (rear, front, center, bass, or master) on the fly through use of the navigation wheel.

Using the Mixing Console requires two USB ports. Alternatively, Cooler Master has included the option to by-pass the console altogether and use a straight 3.5mm input. This option still uses a single USB, as well as four 3.5mm plugs, including microphone in and subwoofer.

We also found two types of ear cups included with the Sirus: micro-fiber and leatherette. Interchanging between the two is extremely easy: the entire cup snaps off the base of the headset, the plastic frame of which is stripped and re-applied with the desired material. While the cup is detached from the headset, you can also get a nice look at the speaker system of the Sirus.

The customization doesn't stop there, as Cooler Master has also included a little software suite for further tweaking. This program allows users to visually adjust channel volumes for both the speakers and microphone.

In case the Cooler Master guys pay attention to the forums, I just ordered this headset based on this review. I was able to snag it for $95 on Amazon. It was $129 at Newegg. Since I opted for the free shipping it will take a while to get here. No big deal. The next LAN is a couple weeks away anyways.
