You can also use SoundID which adapts the audio profile of the headset to fit your individual hearing, the results are varied but it’s still a nifty feature to have included. Through the software, you can set up to 5 preset equaliser settings for each of your games or according to the genre of music you're listening to, although to switch between them you do have to open up the app. The menus are easy to navigate, it starts up quickly and smoothly, and you can manage all of your other Corsair gaming kit from there, as well as sync it with your Philips Hue lights at home. It’s well worth doing because it’s a really well-thought-out app.

To control the headset’s settings, you need to download the Corsair iCue desktop software. Of course, a separate microphone will always be better but for a gaming headset at this price, it’s pretty impressive. The omnidirectional microphone is solid, those on the other end said I sounded perfectly clear without much in the way of background noise. You don’t get as wide a soundstage as you would from a pair of the best noise cancelling headphones and the more subtle, deep sound effects in movies don’t have as much impact as I’d have liked. While this headset is ideal for gaming, I can’t really say the same for listening to music or watching videos.

It’s a huge shame that the surround sound doesn’t work on a PC and it doesn't work without the iCue software downloaded either, so you won’t get as immersed on a console as you would playing on a PC or Mac. Admittedly there could be a richer bass but you can’t have it all, and actually, that lends itself well to more punchy sounds like gunfire. You do feel properly immersed in the game with effective 360-degree audio so you can hear where things are happening in relation to you. The tuning was spot on and the surround sound element is fantastic. I thought that the headset's audio was great for gaming.

Corsair HS65 Surround review: performance and featuresĥ0mm neodymium drivers power the audio behind the Corsair HS65 Surround headset with a frequency range of 20Hz - 20 kHz. It’s worth knowing that you’ll need this to make the most out of the Dolby Audio surround sound. That’s it!įor more control over the headphones, you’ll need to download the iCue desktop software on your computer. So what about the setup? Just plug it in. The dongle also doesn't match the rest of the headset and it seems a little flimsy like it could break. It does mean more compatibility with older devices but I would have preferred a split cable or a USB-C especially given the fact that not all devices come with a headphone jack nowadays. I’m not sure why Corsair hasn’t included USB-C connection instead of the the 3.5mm audio cable with a USB dongle. The cable measures 1.8m which I found was long enough to give me space to move around. You can choose to connect using the 3.5mm audio cable or with the included USB adaptor.

You can use this wired headset with PC, Mac, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One / Series X S, Nintendo Switch and even your mobile devices. To mute the microphone you just have to flip it up towards the earcup, which is very easy to remember. While it is handy to have, it is a little too smooth so I wouldn’t say it’s particularly accurate. You won’t really want to use these away from home because of that.Īnother thing I like about this headset is that it keeps the controls simple, in fact, there’s only a volume dial. That’s a shame because that’s the only thing stopping this from doubling up as a regular pair of headphones. The flexible ominidirectional microphone can be positioned perfectly next to your mouth but it isn’t detachable, instead, you pull it down from the side of the earcup. I was able to keep this for hours on end without too many complaints, and in the summer too! As well as that, breathable microfiber and leatherette-wrapped memory foam across the underside of the headband and over your ears make it easy to forget you're wearing anything at all. Made from smooth matte plastic reinforced by a metal build, with grey and silver detailing across the outside of the earcups and covering the memory foam on the inside - there’s nothing showy or over-the-top about this, no RGB lights, no bulky build - it’s simple and sophisticated.Ĭomfort is key here, the Corsair HS65 Surround headset only weighs 282g and has an adjustable headband that slides out and stays firmly in place.

I checked out the white colourway but you can also buy it in a ‘Carbon’ black. The Corsair HS65 Surround doesn’t look clunky when you wear it so you could get away with using it for work calls as well as for gaming. The first thing I want to point out about this headset is that, unlike most others, it’s got serious style.
