Customer Ratings & Reviews

bought the HS55 Wireless gaming headset for my friend since he needed a new one, and he absolutely loves it. The sound quality is clear, the mic sounds great, and the wireless connection is stable with no hassle. It has all the right features without being overly complicated, which really simplifies his gaming setup and overall experience. It’s lightweight, comfortable for long sessions, and easy to set up and use right out of the box. The controls are straightforward, battery life is solid, and everything just works. If you want a reliable wireless headset that makes gaming easier and more enjoyable, this is a great choice.

The Corsair HS55 wireless gaming headset built with premium quality and perfect for multi-use that looks great. I have the white model. It comes in a nice colorful package with a wireless receiver usb dongle and a usb cable for charging and to connect to some gaming platforms. No user manual was provided but it is available online. Charging is fast; I’ve been using a 2.4A connection since it didn’t come with a charger. Out of the box, the headset is ready use either with the wireless receiver, Bluetooth or with the usb cable. However, to truly enjoy this headset you must download the iCUE software through the corsair website to explore the full potential such as firmware updates, sound and microphone settings and other customizations. The iCUE interface is easy to use and makes updates a breeze. Being the owner of a PS4 and a PS5, I’ve used this headset to play a few games on both consoles. The connection for both systems can only be made via the usb cable. The sound is crisp and loud especially with the FPS and action games. But those headsets truly shine with the wireless receiver dongle connected to a PC. I have a decent gaming desktop and tried a few 5.1 action games and the sound blew me away. The surrounding sensation is on par with the best headset I’ve owned that cost much more. To better gauge the capabilities of this system without the distractions of playing a game, I listened to several sample 7.1 and 5.1 videos on YouTube, and I was impressed with the sound separation. To be honest, I was more impressed with the 5.1 tests. Bluetooth connection is easy to establish. I set it up with my phone and made a few calls to test the effectiveness of the microphone and the listeners had no complaints. I’m not much of a talker while playing online games but the few exchanges I had with other players were clear and problem free according to them. Music quality came out great as well with clear highs and solid lows. This headset is well designed. The oversized soft earpads make wearing those headphones comfortable for long hours. The pressure around the ears is minimal and tolerable for long periods of time. Clever use of the volume dial to change the equalizer settings by pressing it. With a short press of the power button, you can easily switch between the wireless usb receiver and Bluetooth depending on your set up. I was also impressed with the good battery performance. I used the headset for 3 days straight for at least 6 hours a day playing videogames, listening to music and podcasts and making phone calls and I still had power left. This model does not have a noise cancelling feature but the oversized earpads do a decent job at keeping the outside noise away and it’s good enough for me. To conclude, I will say that the quality build and performance of the Corsair HS55 make it a great buy for all kinds of gamers, from beginners to experts. The price is right, the options are plentiful, and it delivers where it counts.

The Corsair HS55 is an overall great option for anyone looking to move on to a wireless gaming headset. I feel that this headset offers a great value of features for the price compared to other headsets currently available. The HS55 offers premium construction quality and comfort, 50 foot wireless range, is lightweight, has a solid battery life, charges fast, and offers Dolby Audio 7.1 Surround Sound on PC and Mac. It is also advertised to work on the PS4 and PS5, although I just tested it out for a few days on my PC. On the headset itself, there are various buttons, such as a mute button for the microphone (which also mutes when flipped up), a volume wheel, a bluetooth button, and of course the power button. For those using this headset on a PC, you are able to tune the sound much better in the iCue software. I personally did not like the sound much straight out of the box, but after using the EQ in the iCue software, I was able to tweak it to my liking and update the firmware. The microphone itself isn't the best, but no headset microphone really is. I would have liked to see the microphone be detachable as I've seen a few headsets that offer that, but in the end it's not that big of a deal. Overall though, I did like this headset and could easily see myself using it as a daily option. I think that for most people, it fits practically every need and comes in at a good price point. I would probably pair it with a dedicated microphone, but for those that can't, the included microphone will get the job done.

The HS55 Wireless is a solid headset with great sound quality and a lightweight, comfortable design for long gaming sessions. The wireless connection is reliable with low latency, and the battery life easily lasts through multiple days of use. The mic is clear for voice chat, though it could use a bit more noise cancellation. Overall, an excellent value for the price.

Good sound, long battery life, comfortable to wear for long periods of time, switches over from my PS5 to phone via bluetooth seamlessly

First impressions of the headphones are of clean well made construction, Although mostly plastic, they seem sturdy enough. The ear cups are large and fit over ears easily. The padding of ear cushions is good, and they are fairly comfortable. The headband is nicely padded and comfortable. These should be good for extended wearing. Now on to the actual use, sound, and iCUE software interface. The mic is responsive, and mutes when flipped up. Also, mic volume can be adjusted. These can operate wirelessly with the provided dongle, or Bluetooth. I found range good with either method. I found the audio delay to be none with wireless, but quite a bit of delay using Bluetooth. Watching a movie or gaming will be not acceptable using Bluetooth. Using wireless, I experienced a strange issue - streaming a movie slowed to a point where I was watching a spinning circle. Switched to Bluetooth, and all was good - other than the audio delay. I felt the iCUE software was not as intuitive or as easy to use as I would like. The EQ was not as good as the built in one in Media Player - and these headphones definitely need an EQ.... Having 50mm drivers, the bass is a bit too strong - and boomy. The highs are recessed, mids a little forward. I found with some careful EQ settings, I could get a reasonably balanced sound. I did try some Dolby settings which can some effects. Did not get into Invidia settings. Overall, I can only recommend at the price, and if you like experimenting and tweaking settings. Personally, I just want to enjoy good sound for gaming, movies and music without too much "fiddling".

The Corsair HS55 Wireless headset is an amazing device that has quickly become my favorite headset of all time. It is lightweight yet durable, and the sound it provides is monumental to my enjoyment of games. Not to mention it can do 2.4 Ghz and Bluetooth with multi point connection. Highly recommend this if you want professional grade gaming audio at a reasonable price.

First of all, it does the job. Audio quality is fine for a non-audiophile like myself. The headset is lighter than it looks and the fit is comfortable. It did leave temporary marks around my ears if I wore it for hours on end but they fade quickly. The right ear pad fell off mine after about 6 months, which is what prompted me to write this review. I don't think I put particularly hard wear on it, but I did use it almost every day. The most frustrating feature of this headset is definitely the placement of the control buttons on the bottom. I have hit those with my shoulder so many times resulting in being unexpectedly muted, volume changes, and even once accidentally unpairing the headset from my computer. Moving the boom mic into the upright position mutes you as expected, so there's really no need for the extra button and in my experience a lot of downside.

It was a good headset fit comfortably and it had a longer lasting battery that charged pretty quick with a computer charger for me work for hours at a time for me

Great headset overall with clear sound and a comfortable fit for long gaming sessions. The only downside is the battery life, which I wish lasted a bit longer, but it does charge quickly and gets me back to gaming fast. Overall, I’m very happy with it.

Got these to replace a wired headset. They sound amazing, are very easy to use, and comfortable. Battery life lasts a while. I can walk around my house and they stay connected to my computer. However, they started falling apart not even a year after I bought them (padding dislodging, plastic snapping) A bit too expensive to be doing that, cheaper ones have lasted me far longer. It didn't affect their actual function but they are no longer wearable.

Comfortable, easy to use software, fast charging, and good sound quality with decent bass. However, the battery doesn’t last as long as other headphones; it will need to be charged after every gaming sesh.

The CORSAIR HS55 Wireless delivers clear audio, solid bass, and a comfortable fit for long gaming sessions. Its wireless range is strong, with reliable Bluetooth and low-latency connectivity. Mic quality is decent, though not premium. Lightweight and stylish in white, it's a great headset for casual to mid-tier gamers.

I did not expect the sound quality to be amazing with these headphones for the price but truly the sound quality is amazing. They cut to your ears very firm they don't get overheated in the microphone seems to be very responsive and clear I highly recommend these for the price.

So far so good I purchased these as an upgrade from my turtle beach stealth 600s. They have better sound quality and are equally as comfortable my only concern is the mic seems a bit too flimsy but over all they seem to be better

Great battery life, supports Bluetooth alongside the included wireless dongle. Decent range, I can walk over 30 ft away with a few drywall walls in-between. Very comfortable.

The headband fit is really good, you don't get fatigued from wearing the cups over a few hours. The only fault I'd say is the sound quality is all in the bass, but for gaming that's more or less all you need.

These are a very good quality pair of head phones. They are very comfortable to ware and I would recommend to anyone. Have not have any issues.

Great sound quality. Not very comfortable and the mic monitoring feature is terrible. Mic monitoring feature is where it puts your voice through the headset, that way you can hear yourself speak. It does not work well. I turned mine all the way up and still can't hear myself. Comfort, the pads are stiff and the headset squeezes pretty hard, especially if you wear glasses. Sound Quality if fantastic. I really hope they take the comfort and mic monitoring in consideration for the next one because I have not had a better sounding headset. I got mine on sale. My review is based on the sale price. I would not pay full price for this product but I would buy it again at the sale price. I don't remember what I paid but it was significantly less than the original price.
