Cooler Master is switching gears and diversifying its lineup of gaming peripherals. The CH351 wireless gaming headset connects to and toggles between a variety of sources. When released, the headset's ergonomic design and dynamic surround sound could make it successful. What other tricks does the CH351 have up its sleeve that should concern Razer, Logitech, and SteelSeries?

Cooler Master is known more for its innovative PC cases and cooling solutions than for audio gear. The announcement of the CH351 wireless gaming headset is a surprise, but it has an intriguing feature set. With built-in 3D surround sound, the headset promises to give competitive gamers an edge and make movies sound more immersive. The CH351 product page is live, but there is no price or projected release date.

With the CH351, the manufacturer touts its versatile connectivity. The wireless headset offers seamless pairing using a low-latency 2.4 GHz USB dongle or Bluetooth. Its 30 hours of battery life should be more than sufficient for long gaming sessions. Wired connections to PCs or controllers are also supported. Listeners can switch between up to three Bluetooth sources with a physical button. Unfortunately, Cooler Master doesn't specify console compatibility. Given the Xbox's restrictions on USB adapters, the CH351 is more likely to work as a PS5 wireless headset.

The new Cooler Master wireless gaming headset will ship in stealthy black and a more flashy macaron color. Its Y-frame design flexes to fit on heads of all sizes with minimal adjustments. Plush 'protein leather' earpads envelope earlobes for private listening. (For more comprehensive active noise cancellation, buyers should consider the Alienware Pro headset.) Inside the earcups are 50mm drivers, which should produce plenty of volume. The 3D surround sound may help gamers identify approaching enemies in FPS titles.

Lackluster mics let down many gaming headsets. However, the CH351's unidirectional microphone focuses on a chatter's voice and eliminates background noise, if the press release is to be believed. Gamers can also control how much of their voice they hear using a sidetone toggle switch.

The Cooler Master CH351 has a clever ergonomic design and enough connectivity to warrant attention. Ultimately, the price will determine how this wireless headset fares against stiff competition. Just as a rough guess, we are probably looking at the $69 to $149 range here.
