Customer Ratings & Reviews

I thought it was better than my old void pros. Sound wise it’s pretty nice. But less comfortable than the pros from 2017. A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THE HEADSET IN MY OPINION The hinges where the speakers turn from the head band are made of plastic and just snap so easily. Literally ruins the headset. And is smaller in size as well. Was hoping for a more premium feel. Save your money and go with steel series or even hyper X.

Works awesome, good sound, ok mic quality, have not had any issues

Amazing quality for the price. Definitely would recommend the gaming headphones.

This headset works perfectly with my hp and dell laptop that I use for my client and company use. working well with usb and bluetooth configured.

The HS55 Wireless headset is a great entry level gaming headset. It won't blow you away, but it's solid, light, comfortable and does its job well. Let’s dive in! The HS55 are very lightweight, but the plastic build doesn’t necessarily make it feel cheap either. These do feel like solid headphones. A faux leatherette covers the ear caps and provides cushioning on the headband, which adjusts to different lengths. I found them very comfortable to wear for hours at a time. As a glasses wearer, this was a big deal – the ear cups were held solidly, but not with enough force to feel like my glasses were being jammed into my head. Design wise, these look nice. The built in microphone arm definitely make them gamer-y, but I don’t find them ostentatious. There are no flashy lights here - just headphones. The ear cups rotate to lay flat, so they sit well on your desk, but unfortunately do not come with any case for travelling. The right earpiece contains the power button and Bluetooth button, while the left hand side has a mute button (although raising the microphone arm mutes, as well), a volume slide wheel, and the USB-C charging port. The volume slide wheel has a nice click to it, helping prevent runaway volume. Clicking the volume slider changes the equalizer presets. While the HS55 can connect with Bluetooth, it comes with a USB dongle to enable a 2.4 GHz wireless connection. This the preferred connectivity method, as it’s the one that can connect with the software. Speaking of the software, the Corsair iCue software works great. After installation, it quickly detected the headset, prompting an initialization of a firmware update. Using the software allows you to view battery level (including adding it to the windows taskbar), as well as adjust equalizer options, and microphone levels. It should be noted, however, that the software comes in at just over 3GB. If you’ve got other Corsair products, you may already have the software, but in my case, 3GB is a lot only for one device without many options. As for sound quality, I’ve no complaints. I do not think these are the greatest sounding headphones out there, but certainly not bad. The sound is 7.1 and you can set up surround audio from both the iCue software or built into windows. I listened to music, played some games, and joined a group of five others on Discord and had no problem discerning sounds and hearing others. Speaking of Discord, these are specifically Discord Certified. I’m not entirely sure what that certification process entails, but my friends had no problem hearing me. They aren’t active noise cancelling, but the ear cups do a great job of blocking a lot of environmental noise. The battery life on these is more than sufficient, as is their charge time. The range is pretty far too – I was able to walk to my next room over and still stay connected. I’ve got two main issues. Firstly is with sidetone. That’s a feature that allows you to hear your own voice in your headset when speaking. Even turned up all the way, I never felt like I actually heard it. The second issue is the Bluetooth. If you’re connecting and using it as a Bluetooth connection it works great. Where it falters is the dual connection – connected to one device with the USB dongle AND to a Bluetooth device. In this mode you cannot hear audio from both devices at once. Rather, it allows you to hear and take calls from the Bluetooth connection. It’s only one connection at a time for actual device audio. I did not hear any quality difference between the USB dongle audio and the Bluetooth audio. It should be worth noting that the above issues do not detract from my overall feelings of this headset. Those are minor issues that I think aren't to be expected at this price point. Ultimately, if you are looking for an entry level headset that’s better than average, you’ve got it right here. You could go cheaper, and I think the quality would suffer. You could go more expensive, and I think you’d get some more bells and whistles. What we have here is a good sweet spot. If you want a solid set of gaming headphones that sound good, look good, and perform well, these are what you’re looking for.

Is not bad for the price. I like it it works with pc and Playstation

First thing you probably think about is if it’s comfortable. For me I was able to tolerate at least a little over an hour before taking it off just to give my ears some air. They are lite weight and again, you don’t get annoyed while playing, they are truly comfortable due to the clamp not being so tight. The ear cuffs are deep a little and you get great bass to my surprise. They are a pleather memory foam type of ear cups. It does good with blocking out outside noise. They are flexible so they seem like they will have great durability. You can twist and swivel them and they don’t feel cheap. They will conform to your head. I like how they can swivel enough where you can just lay them flat around your neck. The mic is ok. It picks up noise but not as much so if you play around kids, you probably will mute your background. Talking with it, for me, the mic had to be like right in front of my lips. I mean I wasn’t stiff as in I can’t move and talk because the mic does stay in place and also it’s not detachable, you just flip it up to mute. There is a button for mute too. It comes with a nice usb cable to charge. You can’t play and charge though, but there is a lot of battery life. If there is a day you play all day?, you will get up to 5 hours, maybe 6 without a battery is low warning. These are fun playing battlefield with, yes you hear the footsteps etc lol. I really appreciate how simple these are. Setup was straightforward and these are super comfortable, and the Bluetooth connection had no drops.

I'll start with the build quality. It definitely has a premium feel for the price! I wasn't expecting to be impressed honestly, I mean I expected it to be good, but not feel like it was punching above its weight! The headset these are replacing cost more than double what this thing costs and it feels and looks more like it's more expensive... and cost way less! I'm seriously never buying $300 gaming headsets again! It feels like it'll last, looks great in my opinion, and is comfortable to boot! I played Call of Duty Modern Warfare for a couple of hours before rage quitting ;-) and then finished the night with some Witcher 3! I didn't take it off the entire time and it felt great! The only real knock on the comfort is the heat trapped in the ears. I almost wish it didn't have as much noise cancelation and was open back or had cloth padding instead of leather/pleather padding. Just so some heat can escape. On the note of playing games for several hours, this thing is a battery champion! For the past couple of days, I've been watching shows, testing out Dolby Atmos for Windows on it, playing games, and taking a couple Zoom calls for work with these things and it's still on "High" battery according to the iCUE software! I'm not using Bluetooth, so perhaps that's helping with the battery, but I don't think I need to worry about it. It's rated at 24 hours of continuous use and at this rate I feel like it'll do it! But when I do need to charge it, the fact it has USB-C is so convenient! Using this for gaming is incredible! Flip up the mic to mute and it gives a little audio "Mic Off" in Siri like voice is a nice touch. Flip it down and it'll let you know the Mic is on. If you don't wanna flip it up to mute, you can simply press the button on the back of the left ear. The 3D preception of these headsets are pretty darn good too! In the Witcher I was really able to pin point where NPCs were talking from. Great bass for the game music, and super clear voices when I needed to listen to the plot! Music and movies in general sound incredible as well. I'm no audiophile, but to my ears, they sound better than my AirPod Pros, and I rave about those all the time! All in all, like I said in the title, these ARE the best headsets I've ever owned!

I recently received the Corsair HS55 Wireless Gaming Headset and I must say I am quite impressed! These are the ultimate gaming headsets that offer incredible sound quality, comfort and versatility. One of the coolest things about the HS55 is its wireless capabilities. You can switch between low latency 2.4GHz wireless or Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, giving you the freedom to move while you play. And with a signal distance of up to 50 feet, you don't have to worry about losing your connection if you wander too far. The sound of this thing is really impressive. Custom 50mm neodymium audio drivers deliver stunning sound quality and range, and Dolby Audio 7.1 surround sound for PC and Mac adds immersion. I found myself completely lost in my games when using this headset. The HS55 is also very convenient to use. The ear cushions are made of memory foam and synthetic leather and are designed to be lightweight and durable. In addition, the earpiece has volume and mute controls that are easy to adjust. The microphone is also very good - it picks up your voice clearly and you can mute it if needed. Another thing worth mentioning is the Corsair iCUE software. This opens up a lot of sound settings so you can customize your experience to your liking. Overall, I would recommend the Corsair HS55 Wireless Gaming Headset to anyone serious about gaming. Whether you're gaming on PC, Mac or mobile, these headphones will give you an immersive gaming experience you'll never forget.

What’s in the Box: HS55 Wireless Headset USB Wireless Receiver (USB Type A) USB Charging Cable (Type A to USB-C) No instructions were included in the box. Not even a quick start card with a link. However, instructions can be found on the Corsair website under support. (Best Buy provided this reviewer with an emailed instruction guide.) First thing, charge the wireless headset. While the headset is charging, download and install the Corsair iCue software from the Corsair website. Once the headset is charged, plug in both the RF Receiver and headphones to your laptop/desktop’s USB ports in order to update the firmware. (Since my laptop only has one USB Type A connection, I needed to locate a USB-C to USB-C cable for the update.) Run the iCue software and follow the prompts to update the firmware. The headset will work just fine without installing iCue. But iCue is needed for firmware updates and to access some settings, like custom equalizer settings. I found the headset comfortable. It fit me well, however it does not appear to be size adjustable. There are intuitive controls on the headset. Plus, to easily mute the mic just flip it up. A brief tone lets you know you have muted and when you have unmuted by flipping the mic back into place. There is also a mute button on the headset if you prefer. The Wireless Receiver is for RF wireless connectivity to a laptop/desktop or to a PS4 or PS5 console. It works great with no pairing needed. I found no noticeable latency with the RF wireless connection. I tested the headset with some light online gaming. Transmit and receive were both very clear. I also tried it out with some voice recognition software and found that using the headset mic, I was understood much better than with my usual setup. I also noticed that I can go much farther away from my laptop using the RF wireless receiver than with Bluetooth without losing connectivity. The headset also works as a Bluetooth headset and will pair up and connect to phone, tablet, computer, etc. I used it over Bluetooth for work video conferencing as part of my testing. My colleagues noted that the mic on the headset was clear and sounded very good. The mic also provided good background noise filtering. The Corsair HS55 Headset is a solid performer, with both RF and Bluetooth connectivity. Sound is very good and the mic is crystal clear. The headset is comfortable and battery life is very good.

The COSAIR HS55 Wireless Gaming headphones are superior to all other headphones I have used. They are so light and comfortable with memory foam pads that cover my ears and the inside of headband. It automatically adjusts to my head and ears. It doesn’t move when turning my head suddenly or bending downward. These headphones are wireless and so easy to charge. They need charged before you can use them. They come with cord that must be put in charging block to charge. I just used my iPhone block. Once charged you good to go. I have used these headphones with my laptop using the included USB wireless receiver. You simply put the receiver into the USB outlet on laptop. I used the Bluetooth on my iPhone to wirelessly connect to the headphones. I loved listening to music through it while doing housework. All the controls are located on the ear pieces. It has a microphone mute button, volume control, charging port, Bluetooth multi-function, power button and pairing button. It works with iPhone, iPad, laptop and PlayStation. It works with other devices but these are the only ones I have used it on. I even use it to answer my phone while cleaning. The microphone is easily flipped down to unmute and flipped up to mute. Although I don’t use the mute button on the headset, you can use it as well. The HS55 is great for gaming, listening to movies on computer or iPad, great to listen to music. I love the comfort and stability of these headphones. I love the sound and the surround sound. I highly recommend these headphones for tons of uses not just gaming. They are great for teens as well as adults and the elderly. They are that easy and beneficial to use.

Ear cups snapped from headband after less than 2 months of light use

One of the nice features of these headphones is their wireless connectivity either via USB dongle or Bluetooth. However, at least on a Mac, the headphones must be connected via the USB dongle in order for the Corsair software to recognize the headphones. I was connecting them via Bluetooth and the software would not recognize them. The sound quality is exceptional. The headphones feature custom-tuned audio drivers, which deliver clear and immersive sound, allowing one to be fully part of the gaming experience. The Corsair software is used to switch between stereo and Dolby Atmos, so if your game is in Atmos the headphones will be able to recreate an Atmos sound field. In addition to the impressive sound quality, the headphones are also very comfortable to wear. The ear cups are made from memory foam and covered in a soft, breathable fabric that feels great against the skin. They don’t heat up that much so you can wear them for a long time without being uncomfortable. The battery life is also impressive, with up to 18 hours of use on a single charge. Overall, I highly recommend the Corsair HS55 Wireless Gaming Headphones to anyone looking for a high-quality gaming headset. The sound quality is excellent, the headphones are comfortable to wear, and the wireless connectivity is reliable and easy to use.

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.

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 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.

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.

Solod headphones, good build quality, good looks, good sound, VERY comfortable and somewhat minimalist on the gamer aesthetic lacking rgb but still having an attached mic. Very satisfied with it though and it’s bluetooth as well as 2.4ghz usb dongle connections.

comfortable. great sound. pretty good range as well if you are worried about that.
