Customer Ratings & Reviews

I needed a wired headset for a gaming event, nothing special but it had to be wired with a 3.5mm jack and required no additional software to work. I saw that Corsair had the new HS35 v3 Wired Gaming Headset available, which fit my need perfectly and being Corsair, I knew it would be a good choice. Pros: - Simple 3.5mm combo connection is compatible with many platforms and devices. - Weighs only 250 grams. - Speakers and Microphone are clear and crisp. Cons: - Microphone is not detachable. - Microphone is very sensitive, picking up background sounds and music. Out of the Box: Corsair makes it simple, including just the Corsair HS35 v3 headset in the box and nothing else. The wired 3.5mm combo cable has an attached rubberized cable tie, which is helpful in keeping the cable stored away neatly. Since the headset can connect via the 3.5mm jack, it is compatible across many platforms and devices. At only 8.75 Oz (250g) the headset is lightweight and comfortable for longer gaming sessions. Build & Feel: I noticed right away that the microphone boom does not detach, which is a downside as if the microphone breaks, then the whole headset would need to be replaced. Additionally, the microphone doesn’t include a pop-filter, which could result in harsher sounds and potential damage to the microphone. I can understand the design choice to reduce cost, but in both cases, it can result in having to replace the headset sooner. Most of the headset’s frame is made of a black plastic that is flexible on the headband and solid on the earcups. I usually do not like the feel or finish on the plastic parts of devices, but Corsair made a good choice in the texture they applied to the plastic, it provides a matte finish with a subtle texture. This results in the plastic not feeling cheap or brittle, the opposite in fact as the plastic is flexible and solid. I was pleasantly surprised that the ear cushions were removeable for easier cleaning or replacement. The ear cushions are made of a mesh fabric cover with a higher density foam inside, which provide a soft comfortable fit while also allowing for airflow to prevent sweating. Additionally, the adjustable stretch headband provides a comfortable way to adjust the fit and placement of the headset. It is very easy to adjust, just pull off from the side of the headset and adjust to the next slot and push back on. Both sides have 3 slots for adjustments. When properly fit, the headset doesn’t move or slide around even when lightly shaking your head. The headset stays in place while not applying too much pressure to the head, it is very comfortable. Corsair include a push-to-mute button and volume scroll wheel conveniently on the bottom of the left earcup, near the wire to connection. I found both were in a natural place for my hand to find them, even in the middle of a tough game. Audio: The audio quality was surprisingly well-balanced, though flatter than I prefer but was clear and crisp across a full range. There were no distortions or breaks in the sound. I was mainly using the headset for playing multiplayer shooter games, primarily hearing in-game sounds like gunfire and footsteps or communicating with teammates via voice chat. The Corsair HS35 v3 performed perfectly in doing so. Even for listening to music, I was surprised how well it sounded without any EQ adjustments, it was full and clear. Microphone: The microphone was clearly a main focus for Corsair with the HS35 v3, voice was super clean and clear. Even whispers were registered with clarity. Which is why I wish a slide on pop-filter was included, as not only were the harsher sounds of P/B/T/K picked up on full blast but sounds from the speakers could be heard in the background. This wasn’t a huge issue for me, as I was only listening to music between games, but if you liked listening to music during a game, your teammates will likely be able to hear it too. Conclusion: If you need a simple gaming headset for playing games with your friends, then the Corsair HS35 v3 is a solid choice at an affordable price. The HS35 v3 is lightweight and super comfortable. With a 3.5mm jack that allows compatibility across most gaming systems and devices. The speakers and microphone are crisp and clear, with zero distortions. In fact, the microphone might pick up just a little too much, but never enough to overpower your voice. Overall, I was very impressed, and will be handing on to the Corsair HS35 v3 for future events!

I’ve had this set of gaming headphones for a couple of days now and it’s hard to knock these. They are lightweight, really comfortable and sound good for what they are. The padding on the earcups are very comfortable and never really fatigue my ears. The headband is also quite comfortable and doesn’t press down on my head or put too much pressure on my ears and temples I have a fairly large head and these fit great. The headband is adjustable so they should fit most people. The microphone is loud and clear and its position isn’t distracting or cumbersome. You can also bend the microphone boom and put it closer to your mouth if you feel like you need to. This headset is wired and will work with any pc, console or handheld gaming device with a 3.5mm aux port. Sound quality is decent, not the best I’ve heard but certainly not bad at all. They get just loud enough to be immersive. You can easily adjust the volume with the rocker on the left ear cup. I would say the headphones sound quite balanced. The bass response is a little “digital sounding”. Not sure how else to describe it, but they thud well in shooting and action games. Mids are clear and trebles are crispy. It’s hard to complain about anything with these headphones. They don’t amaze me but they sound good enough to recommend to most people and at the end of the day all you really need is a pair of good quality headphones with a clear and loud microphone and this headset checks off all the good things to look for. If you want wired headphones, these are hard to beat.

This headset has genuinely impressed me. The overall sound quality is excellent and the ambient sounds come through with impressive clarity. The bass is powerful and adds depth to the audio without overpowering the rest of the sound or becoming overwhelming. It strikes a great balance, creating an immersive gaming experience whether you're playing something heavy on action sequences or something more quiet and atmospheric. Comfort is where this headset really stands out for me personally. As someone with sensory sensitivities, I tend to dislike wearing headsets for long periods of time, but I genuinely forgot I had this headset on. It’s very lightweight, the earcups are well padded and breathable, and the floating headband design helps distribute weight evenly across the top of your head so the overall fit is snug without applying excessive pressure anywhere. I would happily recommend this headset to anyone looking for one that doesn't sacrifice comfort or sound quality for the sake of price.

I have been using the CORSAIR HS35 v3 Wired Over-the-Ear Gaming Headset for few weeks now and it has exceeded my expectations for its price range. Right out of the box, the build quality feels solid and lightweight at the same time, which makes it comfortable for long gaming sessions without that usual pressure or fatigue around the ears. The ear cushions are soft and breathable enough that I can wear them for several hours while gaming or attending online meetings without needing constant breaks. Sound quality is definitely a strong point here. The audio is clear with a nice balance between highs and lows. In games, footsteps and directional sounds are easy to pick up, which makes a noticeable difference in competitive gameplay. While it does not have the deep bass punch of higher-end headsets, it still delivers a satisfying and immersive experience for most gaming genres from FPS to story-driven titles. The microphone performance is also surprisingly good for a wired headset in this category. My teammates and coworkers have said my voice sounds clear and natural with minimal background noise during the calls. It’s flexible and easy to position, and the flip-to-mute feature is very convenient when switching between talking and focusing on gameplay. Since it is wired headset, there is no need to worry about battery life or connectivity drops, which makes it very reliable for long sessions. The cable length is also generous enough to connect comfortably to a PC or console setup without feeling restrictive. Overall, the CORSAIR HS35 v3 is a great value headset for casual to mid-level gamers who want reliable sound, comfort, and a decent microphone without spending a lot. It may not have all the premium features of high-end models, but it delivers where it matters most. I would definitely recommend it to anyone shopping a dependable everyday gaming headset with fraction of cost.

For the price point these don't disappoint. You will not be amazed by these headphones in anyway other than they are super lightweight. The speech audio is about the best they do and that's ok as it is. I plugged them in to an old iPod to jam out and was severely disappointed. Same issue with a movie on my laptop. Gaming was ok with them and the sound was decent, I just can't see knocking any stars off due to the price point these sell at. If these were a higher end, higher priced set then my rating would be different. The fit and quality are great, there is a large volume wheel and a mute button. The mic can't be moved much or removed, so they should last longer at that area. These are wired and have no wireless option. I have a pretty big head and had no discomfort issues wearing these for about 4 hours straight. They come packaged nicely and wrapped in a soft cloth. Be mindful these are corded and the mic is not removable, if those are necessities then you might want to go with a higher priced unit from Corsair. I don't mind the mic not being removable since it will last longer and the cord is fine now that I'm used to it. You never have to worry about charging them which is nice n

This is an excellent entry level wired gaming headset. It’s made of mostly plastics, but the headset feels durable and able to withstand daily use. The microphone’s boom is made of metal, so it is very durable. It’s affordable but it does not sacrifice build quality over price. The headset is comfortable to wear, and the fitting just feels great and very light to wear. The over-ear design provides good sound isolation, though it doesn’t completely block outside noise. There’s a dial to manually adjust the volume and a physical mute button, which I like. I use the headset on my Legion Go 2 and it’s a solid experience. The length of the cable is adjustable thanks to the included cable restrainer. So, I can use the headset with a PC and adjust the length accordingly when I use it with my handheld device. Audio performance for the price is actually great, considering that this is an entry level headset. Playing Crimson Desert and Helldivers 2 on a handheld gaming PC felt engaging. I like how the headset is able to capture the audio complexity of the Greymayne camp in Crimson Desert. The sound of the animals, people working on the camp and the music all blends in with distinctive characteristics of the sound. Default audio performance is more on treble side, and it sounds a bit thin and lacks dynamics to my liking, but I know what to expect with an entry level headset. Overall, it is an excellent entry level wired gaming headset.

I found the Corsair over the ear headset very comfortable to wear. Especially when worn for a few hours of game play or serious TEAMS meetings. The omni-directional microphone picked up my voice without the distraction of the noises around me very clearly. The features I like are the soft fabric and foam ear muffs. The easy to position left side omni-directional microphone. A standard 3.5mm stereo mic jack (plug). A headband that holds securely to my head but not so hard as to crush my ears or noggin. There is an adjustable inner cloth strap for better fit depending on your head size and ear position. Corsair also designed the headset with a swivel joint for smooth operation using what I guess to be a yellow Teflon washer. It is also very lightweight as there is really no battery or electronics to weigh it down. The sound quality from the stereo speakers are clear, deep bass when you want and lifelike. So to for the output of the microphone. Both muffs have the Corsair SHIP logo embbossed in each muffs hard shell. The headband also touts the CORSAIR name. It even looks good when I wear them.

Overall this is a comfortable headset to wear but definitely is in the budget friendly option. It does not weigh a lot which oftentimes for me in comparison to the other gaming headsets that I own relays to lower quality or more inexpensive parts. Sound quality is good, highs or crisps and they're actually is a little bit of Base to it but it is not as loud as most of my other wireless headsets. I have tinkered with the settings in my Xbox dashboard and when having it plugged into my controller it just isn't as loud as I would like it to be in most cases. I can hear footsteps and all the sound effects are good for the games I have played but there are times I wish it was a little bit louder. Pros - Lightweight - Adjustable head strap - Adjustable mic that can be muted Cons - Not as loud as I like for my gaming headsets to be - Lighter or cheap feeling compare to other gaming headsets Overall as far as gaming headsets go this is a good budget-friendly option from a name brand company. It definitely isn't as high quality as some of the other ones from Corsair or Logitech but but has good clear audio quality and is comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

I think the Corsair HS35 v3 is an amazing value for a wired headset. This isn't a flashy headset, and there's no RGB or USB DAC included or anything like that. It's just a good sounding headset with a nice long cord to reach your gaming PC. I've had a few wired headsets recently which required an extension to reach the headphone jack on my PC tower, so having one that's designed with PC gamers in mind makes a real difference to me. It also works great with my Switch. In terms of comfort, sound, and build quality, the HS35 v3 is punching above its price class. it's a pretty compact headset that doesn't feel huge on your head, and is lightweight as a result. Sound quality is very good for a closed back headset, especially considering the MSRP. I think maybe we've all been ruined by wireless headsets and forget how good an inexpensive wired headset can sound. Since this is a pretty basic headset, there aren't really any software frills to speak of. It doesn't include Dolby Atmos or DTS:X Headphone. On the plus side, it "just works" when you plug it in - no extra configuration necessary. Even though it doesn't include a license for Atmos or DTS:X, it does work just fine with those if you have a license already, or gaming in Overwatch which includes Atmos for headphones. Overall, this gets two thumbs up from me and I'm sure it will get a lot of use in a house with young boys and consoles and PCs to game on.

I'm happy. Why am I happy? Because he Corsair HS35 v3 is a headset that works with all my devices on a plug and play basis because it has a 3.5mm standard audio plug. The sound is very good, the omnichannel microphone is solid, and the HS35 v3 is super light weight. What's in the box is straight forward, it's the HS35 v3 headset. There's no dongles, no need to download drivers, you just plug n go. The HS35 v3 is super lightweight. The headstrap is elastic and can be adjusted (rubber lugs), the ear cups are foam, which I am a fan of, because my ears sweat less and they are also not prone to the disintegration you get with pleather earcups. Design wise, no RGBs or distractions, other than some neon yellow highlights on the earcup hinge. The only limitation is that the boom mic is fixed and not removable (but there is a mic mute button). You also geta volume control. I have used the HS35 v3 for about a week now, mostly PC gaming but also some Steam Deck and Switch 2 and I'm just very happy. The light weight and 3.5mm audio plug is really the killer feature for me; especially when mobile gaming (Switch/Steam Deck) because I don't need to have Bluetooth being yet another drag on the battery. Audio quality is clear, it's a little lighter (less deep) than I am use to but microphone quality is clear for others. As a spare headset for travel or if you're a casual gamer, you really can't go wrong with the HS35. Overall, very happy and recommended! If the boom mic was removable, I'd give it 5 stars.

The Corsair HS35 V3 Wired Gaming PC Headset works with MAC, Mobile, PlayStation and Nintendo switch, as well. The headset is a plug and play midrange value headset that is extremely comfortable and produces fantastic sound quality. It’s a super lightweight manufactured plastic frame with large soft cushions made from memory foam and breathable mesh fabric. The weight is barely 230grams and the plush fabric-covered ear cushions and the newly designed floating headband creates a very comfortable gaming session for long hours of playing. The adjustable "floating" suspension headband that distributes pressure evenly across my head is an elastic strap that is connected to both sides of the headband, making the headband float above my head, instead of resting on it. The universal plug-and-play 3.5mm connection brings the versatility that allows connection to multiple types of listening devices having a 3.5mm connection. The detachable omnidirectional boom microphone captures crisp speech and delivers no muffled sounds of my voice. The battery life is constructed to supply up to 30 hours of continuous play at mid level volume, requiring no need for recharging and waiting to finish my game later. As the latest CORSAIR on the market, at a great price, this Corsair HS35 V3 Wired Gaming PC Headset has not disappointed my gaming experiences.

The Corsair HX35 does almost everything you’d want a wired pair of headphones to do. Sound quality is good, but not amazing. The mic is okay. It works with any device that has a headphone jack, and you can adapt it to devices that don’t have a headphone jack by way of an adapter. For a less-expensive pair of headphones, the headband feels relatively solid and is comfortable. The lack of lighting is nice. However, the lack of either a detachable cord or removable microphone are definitely things I’ll hold against these headphones, as it makes them nearly unrepairable should the cable or mic become damaged. Their light weight and the long cable do make them great for longer play sessions, however, and universal compatibility is always a bonus in my book when we live in an era of headphones that only work with one brand of console, phone, or sometimes even the computer. All in all, the HX35 V3 from Corsair is worth getting - especially when on sale - for younger gamers and those looking for something inexpensive that doesn’t feel inexpensive.

This is a great simple wired headset... no batteries to worry about, no adapters no fuss! They sound great and because you're plugged directly in you are getting the audio output straight from the device you are listening to. The cord is plenty long enough and in terms of comfort, the headset is extremely light, is adjustable and the ear cups are very soft /comfortable for long gaming sessions. The only thing I didn't like though is just a personal preference is I tend to prefer to disconnect my mic but this headset doesn't allow you to take it off. That said, you can easily move it out of the way (and not lose it) and you can mute/unmute with the button on the ear cup. For comfort, simplicity and just a simple headset that sounds good, feels good this is the one to get. Because it's just a corded headset with a 3.5mm jack you can use it on just about anything that has a jack whether it's a PC, Xbox. PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch. Have friends coming over, and don't want to loan out your expensive headset, look no further.

This Corsair gaming headset is head and shoulders above other gaming headsets in this price point. It has proven to be quite satisfying to me, on both sound quality and comfort. If I had any complaints it would be that this is wired instead of wireless blue tooth but for what it is and who it is intended for it meets all the basic requirements. It sounds good and it is comfortable wearing for those long gaming sessions. It's not heavy and it is easy to forget you are wearing it after a while. The microphone is excellent and people report I sound very clear with no distortion. It has excellent lows, mids, and highs and I have no complaint from a sound quality perspective. I have to admit that it is nice to not worry about battery life as this is a wired headset. Great piece of mind there. If a good basic headset is what you are looking for that sounds above average and not any frivolous bells and whistles then this headset from Corsair deserves a close look/listen. You may find yourself surprised.

If you're in the market for a budget friendly gaming headset, Corsair comes through with their HS35 v3. It's a good blend of quality performance headset that's reasonable priced. This model comes in both wireless and wired varieties. Having used a few gaming headsets in my time, finding decent ones that don't break the bank is slowly becoming more and more of a chore. With the HS35, you get a good sounding set of headsets, compatible with most platforms, all for a reasonable price. The fit is quite good on these even for me who has a rather larger head. I can play for hours with these on without any discomfort and the fabric earpads ensure there's no sweaty headset after long gaming sessions. Sound wise, as you'[d expect from Corsair. Good sound both from the speakers and the mic. Didn't have any issues with team members hearing me or them during gameplay. I'm sure the wireless version of this headset offers decent battery life but I much prefer wired headsets since I'm on PC. Very nice headset without needing to budget in another paycheck to afford this one.

Having used several devices across Corsair’s headset product lineup, I have come to expect solid construction, comfortable materials, and good audio quality. The HS35 v3 takes a much simpler approach than many gaming headsets, stripping away wireless connectivity, software configuration, lighting effects, and other premium features in favor of a lightweight headset that simply plugs in and works. At first glance, the floating headband looks a little silly and feels almost too flimsy to be functional. In practice, it works surprisingly well. The headset fits comfortably over my large head and ears, and the lighter weight is a huge improvement compared with many of the more elaborate gaming headsets I have used. After wearing it for an extended gaming session, I did not experience the same feeling of a heavy headset pulling down on the top of my skull. The lightweight construction naturally means that the HS35 v3 does not feel as substantial as some of the more expensive products in Corsair’s lineup. I have only been using the headset for a few days, so I am not going to make any long-term claims about durability. That said, nothing about it makes me worried that it is going to fall apart within the next year. It feels appropriate for the price point and sturdy enough for normal daily use. Audio quality is crisp and clear, but this is by no means an immersive audio experience. It is straightforward stereo sound, and that is perfectly acceptable for most casual gamers. Dialogue is easy to understand, music sounds good, and game audio remains clear without requiring software, firmware updates, or time spent tweaking an equalizer. I also tested the headset across multiple devices and found the experience to be consistent. The simplicity of connecting a standard audio cable and immediately having working headphones and a microphone is refreshing. The microphone itself produces clear enough audio for gaming and voice chat, but the decision to make it permanently attached is my largest complaint. The microphone boom is flexible, but it does not bend far enough out of the way when it is not being used. These days, I spend more time playing single-player games than participating in multiplayer voice chat, so having a microphone sitting beside my face when I do not need it becomes distracting. This should have been a removable component. The headset uses a cable that is just over four feet long. I generally prefer wireless headsets because I tend to shift around in my chair and occasionally stand up to stretch without thinking about what I am connected to. A cable always creates some possibility of becoming caught or unexpectedly reaching the end of its length. Fortunately, the included cable is long enough that this has not been a significant concern during normal use at my computer. There is also something to be said for not having another battery to charge, wireless receiver to connect, pairing mode to select, or application to install. The HS35 v3 is about as close as you can get to a true plug-and-play gaming headset. Connect it to a compatible audio jack, adjust the volume, and start playing. Overall, the Corsair HS35 v3 feels designed for the casual, budget-conscious consumer who simply needs a functional headset. It does not offer immersive surround sound, wireless freedom, or an extensive collection of premium features. What it does provide is clear stereo audio, a surprisingly comfortable lightweight design, broad compatibility, and an uncomplicated setup. The fixed microphone prevents it from being ideal, but for someone looking for an affordable headset that handles the basics without unnecessary complexity, the HS35 v3 is an easy product to recommend.

As a dedicated online gamer who hits competitive matches like Team Fortress 2 every single night, I initially picked up the off-white Corsair HS35 v3 wired headset as a reliable backup for when my primary wireless gear inevitably dies. Having long trusted Corsair for hardware like PC RAM upgrades, I expected decent quality, but after testing these for a few weeks, both my son (who plays with me as well) and I agree that they completely exceeded our expectations, so much that they are now my go-to primary set when gaming on the move with my laptop. Right out of the box, you have this very sleek and aesthetic look, and the build really has this nice balance of feeling incredibly durable without adding any heavy bulk to your head. That is because there is the floating headband which rests comfortably on my crown, and the plush over-the-ear cups provide great comfort that holds up beautifully even during marathon gaming sessions. I average around 2 hours a night and did not experience any ear fatigue. The audio performance is great for the price point. This offers a surprisingly rich, crisp sound whether I’m tracking enemy callouts or just catching up on YT videos on the left-side is the detachable boom mic, which easily bends to contour to my mouth and delivers crystal-clear, static-free vocal clarity so my team never missed a word. There is a conveniently placed push-to-mute button on the ear cup for instant adjustments. Being wired, this is a true plug-and-play 3.5mm connectivity providing instant connection. Overall, I have been very impressed with the VS35. Easily my travel headset or backup when at home.

So I just received my new Corsair HS35 v3 Wired Gaming Headset about a week ago and have been putting it through its paces. Over the years I have used and test various Corsair products and accessories for my gaming consoles as well as my desktop setups. And they have all been very solid products and served their intended purposes as expected. So I knew what to expect when choosing the HS35. Unboxing Includes: * Corsair HS35 v3 Wired Gaming Headset * User Documentation The right side earcuff has no controls whatsoever. The left side earcuff has a mute button as well as the volume control knob. The left side also feature the microphone arm that is not detachable, but it is bendable to bend it to your desired position. The head band does not really extend out if that’s something you need, you may want to look elsewhere. Ok so the setup is really simple for this headset. Just plug it in and that’s it. It does not have all the bells and whistles of other higher-priced headsets, but for what it is, and the price point it’s at, this is a very nice and easy-to-use headset. Now with that being said, this has been a very nice, easy-to-use headset to use. And very comfortable might I add. Out of all of the other lower-priced headsets in this range that I’ve used and tested before, this by far wins on comfortability as well as sound. Everyone said it sounded as if I was right next to them as to how clear I sounded and for me while playing games or listening to music, I was pleasantly surprised at how well they sounded, especially the bass. You can’t go wrong with this headset, especially with it being compatible with Windows, macOS, Playstation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch (and probably iOS, iPadOS or anything Android as long as there’s a headphone port available).

The best thing this head set has going for it is its comfort and lightweight. Headsets have really come a long way in terms of comfort and this headset meets that bar well. I love the elastic band that goes over the top of the head to provide extra stability and distance from the rigid plastic frame. Adjustability was good, but the comfort lags for longer sessions if you have glasses. Despite the softness of the ear cups, adding a metal or hard plastic frame between it and your head will still have you taking it off and massaging your temples after a couple hours. Sound fidelity is extremely good. Without being too tinny or too muffled, video game soundtracks come through clearly and other complex sound effects shine with individual notes. Music also sounds great and while not too muffled, it does mute some of the sounds of the room with the over ear design. There is no noise canceling, but it still does a good job of isolating what you're listening to. There is an easily accessible mute button and volume control on the headset itself. Knocking a star off for the boom mic. We know boom mics are rough, especially by themselves. This one could use a wind muff for the pops and exhales that come with speaking normally. Thankfully there is software for this kind of thing and Discord especially does great at making your voice coming through this sound much more crisp and clear. It also only comes from the left side of your face and isn't adjustable which, as a right hander, I prefer to have it on the right.

If you are looking for a solid, no-frills gaming headset that won't break the bank, the Corsair HS35 V3 is definitely worth a look. It is super lightweight and comfortable enough for long gaming sessions, thanks to the memory foam earcups and the new floating headband design. The 50mm drivers pack enough punch for most games, though the bass can be a bit boomy and muddy at times. The detachable microphone is a nice touch, and it does a great job of cutting out background noise. Overall, it is a great budget option that gets the job done without any unnecessary extras. The Good Stuff • Comfort: The lightweight design and breathable mesh earcups make it easy to wear for hours. • Microphone: The detachable mic is surprisingly good at handling background noise, which is great for multiplayer games. • Price: At around $50, it offers a lot of value for the money. The Not-So-Good Stuff • Sound Quality: The audio can sound a bit cluttered and muddy, especially if you are listening to music. • Wired Only: It uses a standard 3.5mm connection, so there is no wireless option or USB customization. • Build: While it feels solid, the plastic frame might not feel as premium as more expensive headsets.
