Headsets are all the rage in the gaming market, and recently we have seen a huge spike in the number of 5.1 and even the occasional 7.1 surround sound headset. Some of the headsets claim to offer a virtual 5.1 surround sound and others, like the Tritton PC510 HDa Gaming Headset we reviewed a while back that offer 'True 5.1 surround sound' . The CM Storm Sirus 5.1 Gaming Headset certainly claims to offer the true surround sound experience and for fairly well founded reasons.

Each side of the headset in fact has 4 individual speakers, giving you, front, rear, centre and bass on each side. The positioning of such has been designed so that the front speaker emits sounds just in front of your ear - and as its so close to your ear it only has to be a tiny amount to feel like its coming from several metres in front of you during a game - this is of course similar for the rear speakers and the centre ones.
