Wearing confort and ergonomics

Even after hours of wearing the Sirus, there is no sign of pain, in fact the headset is astonishingly comfortable. Because the earpads are very big the CineVibe can be used by wearer of glasses without giving any pressure marks. The earpads are made either of of leather or cloth. With the leather earpads you gett better noise isolation but you'll sweat more quickly. With the cloth pads it's the other way round. The microphone is attached to the left side of the headset and it comes with an inflexible bail which equipped with a noise cancelling function, which will reduce unwanted side noise.

Software

In general the Software is nicely designed but there are some points we have to criticize. There is for example the fact that certain submenus can only be accessed via a right click on specific items. This absolutely not intuitive. We first had to read this up in the web. Once one has found all the features you start to realize that there are quite a lot of feature implemented. In our opinion it would have made much more sense to provide the software with better usability then with features only a few will use.
Another thing we hope the manufacturer will change is that there is only a note that you'll first have to download the driver software from the internet and no CD or USB key in the box. At the time of testing the driver-software didn't work properly. It has only be possible to use two of the eight drivers. After searching the web for other drivers we fond some that enabled all eight drivers, but guess what: we didn't find them on the Cooler Master website.
