CM Storm Resonar Gaming Earphones Review

Performance

Bass, bass, bass! That was the real focus of these headphones and you can bet that was the first thing I put to the test. I fired up some heavier music that really needs a thick low-end to be appreciated; Project Bassline – Drop The Pressure, Bloodbath – So You Die and Aphex Twin – Pulsewidth. I was not disappointed at all by the Resonar, the level of bass isn’t just impressive for in-ear headphones, it’s impressive for any headset. There is a lot of detail, they have a deep rich sound and it’s crystal clear even at high volumes. If anything, CM Storm have gone bass mad, even on the lower setting the bass is still pretty punchy.

Treble and mid range performance is also superb, offering clear and powerful sound from both mobile and desktop use that is more than enough to satisfy music lovers or those who want to wear these to enjoy a movie on their tablet.

Gaming performance was equally impressive, a great level of detail and plenty of low end punch. With the bass dialled up you certainly get the “wow” effect of explosions in Battlefield 4, but in multiplayer the bass can be tuned down to take the edge off, allowing you to better focus on the finer sounds around you.
