CM Storm is back in the KitGuru labs, but this time it's a headset that gets put through our demanding test procedures. Can the affordable Ceres-400 prove that CM Storm has what it takes to compete in the sub-£40 gaming headset market?
Touted as being built for ‘gamers on the go', the versatile Ceres-400 combines a sturdy design with the globally-recognised 3.5mm audio jack. Large 40mm drivers are advertised as offering ‘amazing sound quality' while the 90mm earpads promote a comfort-enhancing fit and noise-isolating environment.
Capable audio components coupled with the noise-cancelling microphone make the Ceres-400 seem like a promising gaming headset. But will our tests prove otherwise?
