Cooler Master Masterpulse Pro USB Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2016-10-25

Since the product can also operate without extra software, we could use the MasterPulse Pro headset right away, while the remote functions are easy to work with. Cooler Master advertises Bass FX with this model and this function can be simply enabled by removing the plastic side panels; the change in bass strength is quite subtle and in order to feel a clear difference we would recommend to remove the panels while listening to the specific audio content (while wearing the headset). Right after the removal of the panels, the bass will feel a little deeper than before, but not over-the-top as we have seen with other gaming headsets, as the Razer Tiamat 2.2.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

In this review we will look upon an improved version of the MasterPulse Cooler Master gaming headset, which does feature this time virtual 7.1 channel surround sound thanks to the dedicated sound card, EQ presets and RGB lightning. The product is powered via USB, while the functions can be altered via the console. The product does ship inside a medium-sized box, which does show the product on the top layer, along with mentions of the used technologies:

The back side of the box does mention the main product features, in multiple languages:

The top layer also opens up further, in order to reveal a product description, one exploded view of the headset but also the hardware specifications:

After removing the top cardboard layer, we will get to see that the headset and its remote are held inside a custom plastic mold:

There is also a small instruction manual supplied for the user, so he/she would know on how to operate the remote along with the Bass FX feature:

MasterPulse Pro pretty much follows the design lines of the original MasterPulse, which did have an analog interface, while this one is on USB; the red non-tangle cable which is used between the headset and the remote, but also between the remote and the USB connector is of good quality and has a rubberized finish to it:

A closer look does reveal the fact that the same cable type travels between the two large cups, via the headband:

The MasterPulse Pro headset comes with a solid build (332g standalone, 380g including the cable), reinforced with an aluminum frame which does sport a sandblasted finish. The earcups are quite large and on the exterior of each one we will find a Cooler Master-branded cover, which is held with magnetic force:
