CORSAIR - HS50 PRO Wired Stereo Gaming Headset - Carbon

I'm generally a corsair fan. I've had good experiences with their customer service, and have several of their products in my current build, like their RGB fans, light strips, and Commander Pro. So far I am mostly a fan of this headset. - The sound is crisp and clear, and my friends have said they can hear me well. - I like that the mic is detachable and flexible. - The mute button is pretty convenient, though some may disagree. Sometimes I do forget that it is on though. - the earpads are relatively comfortable, but they could be a bit more dense. they do flatten pretty quickly, and I always end up uncomfortable since I wear glasses. Only definite con I've noticed is that it gets very uncomfortable on the headband part. There is nowhere near enough padding up there, and it hurts my head after a short while. I've even tried adding a bit of extra padding, and extending the sides. Overall, you get (what I think) quality sound and a decent mic, though you do sacrifice some comfort for the cost. They still feel pretty sturdily built, so we will see how long they last. They've been getting some marathon use these days, so they are definitely being put to the test.

Considering i bought this headset for $50, i think it suits my needs well. The quality is great and it look is nice. Pros: - cheap and affordable. - nice sleek look - detachable mic (It can be used as headphones without the mic being attached) - Clear audio - great quality materials Cons: - I am not sure because it is new but every once in awhile ill have some pains around my ears due to the fact that i wear glasses and the headset pushes in to my head. - the ear pieces are made of leather (i think) and is not as soft as the fabric ones i used to have. - another con is that sometimes i have issues with connectivity, my laptop would have issues detecting the headset when plugged in.

It works great. I use for work (I'm not a big gamer, and never online). The headphones are great, you can hear everything clearly. The mic is awesome too. The mic transmits the voice signal clearly and crisply and I've never had a complaint while using these headphones/mic.

Overall a good headset. Good sound, and people can hear me. Doesn't look silly (like many other headsets tend to) Two minor things prevented it from being 5 stars: 1) grip is too tight. I have a big head, and it clamps down hard enough that I start to get a headache after a few hours. Might loosen up with time. YMMV 2) mute button doesn't work in all situations: seems to depend on what device I'm using. I've not tried to debug, since each device has its own way to mute. I'm happy with it, and would recommend it.

I was looking for an inexpensive wired headset to replace my wireless one that sucks for battery life so I could actually listen to my computer and use voice when needed without much issue. These do the trick well enough. They do get to be too much to wear all the time but that's really because I wear them most the day. Plus I'm not used to wearing a headset often at all. Definitely worth the money imo.

It's not a bad headset especially for the price, but my son and wife both didn't feel it as comfortable as the much more expensive wireless ones they've had in the past (and broke) due to the ear cuffs being a bit too sweaty in the end. Mic quality was above average and the sound itself is good, though.

Mic stop working working after 8 months, ear coverings start to fray and fall off after 6 months, and then we had connection issues after roughly 9 months. We know they came with a 2 year warranty but we were so annoyed at the situation that we just trashed them and brought some RBG Pro from corsair which now after 13 months are also giving us issues. Charging port is lose and or works when it wants, the ear pads are starting to fray, and the serial numbers / stickers on the headset have all been scratch off because of poor placement on the headset adjusting sleeve. I would not use as a main set, these are great for the need of a backup headset with minimum use.

I bought these when my HYPERX headset started hurting my ears. I wear glasses and these are well cushioned so even after hours of use they still feel great. The sound is impressive too. The only thing I found that bothers me slightly is the volume control is on the earpiece, so when I take them on or off I occasionally bump the control and change the volume.
