Corsair HS65 SURROUND Gaming Headset (Leatherette Memory Foam Ear Pads, Dolby Audio 7.1 Surround Sound on PC and Mac, SonarWorks SoundID Technology, Multi-Platform Compatibility) Carbon

Product Information

The Corsair HS65 Wireless doesn’t feature active noise canceling, so your main protection from outside interruption is the headset’s passive isolation performance. Captures your voice with terrific clarity thanks to an omni-directional microphone with a flip-to-mute function, Discord Certified for crystal-clear communication and outstanding sound. While it’d be nice to enable that feature without the software, it’s great for hearing the volume of my own voice so I don’t shout at teammates when the game audio ramps up.

And that is kind of a disappointment as most Bluetooth-powered gaming headsets these days now feature simultaneous audio playback. More importantly, it tempers the overbearing bass, while giving a much needed boost to the mids and high range frequency.That also means that she has a lot more avenues to explore in terms of understanding how tech can improve the different aspects of our lives. So if you want to play music from your mobile device, or chat with friends on Discord while playing games on your PC or console, that won’t be possible unless you manually change to the Bluetooth mode on the headset (by pressing the power button once).

The Corsair HS65 Surround may not be as feature-rich as others, but when it comes to gaming headsets, audio performance is king, and that’s where this headset truly shines. The safest bet is to just choose “Pure Direct” under the Equalizer function in the iCue software and jump right into the action, which otherwise sounds amazing.
