Customer Ratings & Reviews

This headset has supreme sound quality offering Dolby 7.1 surround sound. The headset is wireless and can also be connected via Bluetooth. The battery life is exceptional with up to 24 hours of life. I really like that the headset can adapt to PC/Mac/PS4/PS5 - making it usable for multiple members of my family who enjoy different console systems. The headset is reasonably lightweight and super comfortable. The microphone is Omni-directional which allows it to pick up all commands and interactions. It’s also rotates upwards for easy storage to prevent damage. The headset is white in color with gray accents making it very fashionable-which is important to young folks. The comfort head band has a plush cushion which prevents rubbing on the top of your head. The headset comes with a USB white charging cord. This is my first time with the brand Corsair but have been impressed so far. They do have a limited warranty that comes with the purchase. Controls are easily accessible on sides of the ear covers allowing for volume changes and connectivity. I give it 2 thumbs up!

$80 headset, crapped out within a month of use. Was a gift to a friend who is very gentle with his tech stuff, says it crackled in his ear THE DAY it became non-refundable. Best Buy only offers a 2-week return/exchange policy, these are NOT worth buying! Find something better.

My ten year old got an inexpensive “gamer headset” after the holding when he received his PC Setup, while that was doing the trick, he was BEYOND excited to show off this headset to his buddies and gloat. Being wireless, this is so convenient to use and he doesn’t get all tied up in the connection to the computer (or, g-d forbid, pull out the connection and lose access to his buddies for a whole minute). It’s really comfortable, I tried it on and was super impressed by the comfort and it’s not heavy on his young head. We also love that we’ve been able to easily connect it via Bluetooth to his tablet so he can use it there as well. We have not maxed out the battery power, in one sitting, so I can’t guarantee that it lasts 24 hours but it really does charge super quickly and after 15 to 20 minutes of charging it was good to go for many long hours on a rainy Friday afternoon and evening. I’m really impressed with the quality as it looks like we’ve, now, got a great piece that will last for quite some time!

They work great but they're tighter than the display pair I tried on in the store and hurt my head.

Mike doesn’t work great .the volume goes in and out.

They are fine at best. Not particularly comfortable, and dont sound excellent. They are quie bass heavy, so if you're into that maybe these are for you.

There is much to be desired in microphone quality with this headset. Otherwise I would have loved this

Sometimes for no reason the audio comes through terrible. I don’t know it until someone screams in horror because they get loud static and it’s at random intervals. I’ve tried to get help but I can’t get to the serial number because I can’t get the pad off the ear cover.

No, hot, muted sound and will NOT stay connected. Returned

No Instructions; not even a "go here to get started" link. I guess you are just supposed somehow know how to use them and what to do the second you put them on your head. No clue if they work as I don't know HOW to

both sides where the headband meets the headphones broke around the same time after 4 months

The HS55 is a great entry-level gaming headset that offers wireless connectivity and comfortable ear cups. In this review, we'll take a closer look at the design, sound quality, and features of the Corsair HS55 WIRELESS gaming headphones. The Corsair HS55 WIRELESS gaming headphones have a sleek and minimalistic design. The headset is primarily black with a few accents of gray on the ear cups and headband. The ear cups are large and fit comfortably around the ears, providing a good level of noise isolation. The headband is padded and adjustable, making it easy to find a comfortable fit. The HS55 also has a detachable microphone that can be easily removed when not in use. The headphones are made of durable plastic and feel sturdy in the hand. The ear cups are attached to the headband with a metal slider that allows for easy adjustment. The headphones also have a few buttons located on the left ear cup that allow for volume adjustment and microphone muting. The buttons are well-placed and easy to find while wearing the headphones. One downside to the design of the HS55 is that it doesn't fold up for easy storage. This can make it difficult to transport the headphones when traveling. The Corsair HS55 WIRELESS gaming headphones offer good sound quality for the price point. The headphones have 50mm neodymium drivers that produce clear and detailed sound. The bass is also well-represented, making explosions and gunfire in games sound impactful. The headphones also have a good level of noise isolation, which helps to immerse the user in the game they are playing. However, the noise isolation isn't perfect, and some outside noise can still be heard when wearing the headphones. The HS55 also has a few sound presets that can be selected by pressing and holding the volume button. The presets include Bass Boost, Flat, and Voice. These presets can help to enhance the audio experience depending on the content being listened to. The Corsair HS55 WIRELESS gaming headphones connect to devices via Bluetooth. The headphones have a range of up to 40 feet, which is impressive. The wireless connectivity is reliable, and I didn't experience any drops in signal during testing. The HS55 also has a battery life of up to 16 hours, which is great for a wireless headset at this price point. The headphones charge via a micro-USB cable, and the charging port is located on the left ear cup. The Corsair HS55 WIRELESS gaming headphones have a detachable microphone that is easy to remove when not in use. The microphone is flexible and can be adjusted to the user's preference. The microphone also has noise-cancelling technology that helps to reduce background noise. The microphone quality is good for a headset in this price range. Voices are clear and easy to understand, and the microphone doesn't pick up too much background noise. The Corsair HS55 WIRELESS gaming headphones have a few features that are worth noting. One of these features is the ability to connect to multiple devices simultaneously. This means that the headphones can be connected to a PC and a phone at the same time, allowing the user to easily switch between devices without having to reconnect.

First, pads came off within the first month of use. Then, both the protective covers. Then it split in half. This was only office use. Not very durable

Only had a month and already broke. Worked fine before

Have had the headset for about a month and a half and now the mic sounds horrible and the sounds in my games are off even after downloading Icue

Worse microphone I have ever had. No one can hear me on games or in discord until I switch to an older Corsair Void that is falling apart.

I’m not sure why, but this headset gave out within 2 weeks. I had to return it because the audio was glitching and the sound of the microphone was horrible.

I have owned a few headsets before, predominantly to use while creating voice-over presentations or while participating in online meetings, but found them to be uncomfortable over a lengthy period of time or lacking in microphone or speaker quality. On the contrary to my prior experiences with other brands, this Corsair headset is very comfortable and I particularly like the way the ear cup encompasses the entire ear (which helps block out external noise). The microphone quality is good and the speakers are great. Another nice feature is that the ear cups rotate in and the microphone flips up, making them easy enough to slip into a travel bag or backpack. Now, with all that being said, there were a few things that seemed a little odd to me given other experiences I have had with some other headphone/microphone combo devices. First, the headphones are packaged with a USB-A to USB-C cable. While I can appreciate the need to accommodate legacy computers, the computer (laptop) on which I was planning to use these headphones only has USB-C ports. That means I need an adapter as one did not ship with the unit. When I did plug the headphones into another computer, the computer (Windows 11) did recognize the headphones, but there was no way to use them as the settings did not show them as an audio device. I installed the iCUE software as well, and it did not see the headphones either. The short story there is that they must be used in wireless mode, even if physically plugged in to the computer. This is where it gets even more confusing to me. There was a USB-A wireless receiver included in the box. (Not USB-C, but USB-A.) As soon as I plugged in the receiver, the headphones (and microphone) showed up in my Windows settings (after a few moments given an automatic driver installation). At that point, I was then able to use the headphones and microphone, and the device also showed up in Corsair's iCUE software. There was a firmware update available, but in order to install it, I had to physically plug the headphones into the computer (which was weird considering the headphones did not work through the same cable). Another thing that was confusing was that it is possible to sync the headphones to your computer by both the wireless receiver (that ships with the headphones) and bluetooth as well. This then creates two separate audio devices in your computer settings, which created some additional confusion for me as one of the devices (via bluetooth) would not allow me to control the volume of the speakers through the dial on the unit. I did not have that same problem, however, when using the wireless connection through the receiver. If I was using a desktop computer, this would probably not be much of a big deal. When using it with a laptop, however, the utility of some of the headphone's features is diminished because, to fully use all the features of the headphones (the volume dial in particular), I need to plug in this 1.5" (approx) USB-A wireless receiver that then hangs out the side of the laptop. (If I wanted to use with a newer laptop that only has USB-C ports, the protrusion would be even longer given the need for a USB-C to USB-A adapter. The short story is that I am used to the simplicity associated with using iPods with my Apple devices (including my computers) where they connect easily and have all necessary functionality without having to plug any wireless receivers into my computer. I understand that Windows-based PCs function differently, but the setup and use simply is not as seamless as I am used to and would like. With that being said, though, this headset is significantly less expensive than those Apple devices (especially the over-the-ear AirPod Max), so some concessions are not only reasonable but necessary. For the money, this is a pretty solid headset that I will continue to use for work meetings and other related activities. While I realize these are marketed for gaming, they definitely fit the bill for my work needs. Given their comfort and quality of speakers, however, I can clearly see how these would work very well for gaming as well and will probably be giving that a try soon. Four stars seems a little low given the quality and value for the money, but I also would not feel comfortable giving a five star rating with the issues I noted. Maybe, realistically, 4.25 or 4.5 stars would be reasonable to me. If you are looking for a relatively reasonably-priced headset that is comfortable to wear with good sound and a good microphone, this unit is a pretty good option!

I purchased these headphones for my work from uome computer. It might be great for gaming but poor for wifi phone calls. Sound quality is poor and the device doesn't stay charged adequately.

Broke after 3 days. Microphone would blast static into the calls. Two different headsets of the same model did this and not my other headsets.
