Customers are saying

Customers are satisfied with the HS45 SURROUND Wired Stereo Gaming Headset's sound quality and comfort. Many appreciate its lightweight design, detachable microphone, and reasonable price. While some users found the bass response lacking or excessive depending on their preference, and others noted minor software or volume-related issues, the positive feedback on sound, comfort, and price outweighs the negative. The headset's compatibility with multiple devices is also a frequently cited advantage.

    For 50 Dollars? No thanks!

    If it weren't for the technology shortage, I would have returned this headset. Your average headset of this style is around 50 bucks, and the quality RANGES. This was the only one available at the time that claimed it had a USB input. This is a lie. The cord uses your typical audio jack, which can then be put into a USB ADAPTER that comes with the headset. Why is that distinction a problem? Well, because if you use the microphone, then there is going to be delay and quality issues when using an adapter. Oh and the mic is bad. It's just bad. It's super short and stubby which is already awful, but the actual audio quality you get out of it is like talking through a door. I've even tried adding a pop filter onto it to help clean it up, but that doesn't help. The noise quality is fine, but it's what you'd get from literally ANY headset of this style on the market. The cord is INSANELY short, especially for something that markets itself as a "gaming" headset. If this headset is so terrible, why am I giving it 2 stars instead of 1 star? Well, the mute button for the mic (should you be forced to use it) and the volume dial for the headset are actually located on the left ear-phone. Which makes it really easy to control your audio experience without fumbling around on your computer, having to take the headphone off, or grabbing at the wire for some kind of dongle. Which is cool! But for FIFTY DOLLARS? I don't think so. I've had $20 and even $12 headsets that were better than this thing. If this is your ONLY option, it will do what it needs to do. But if you have other options? Please skip on this thing.

    Nice price. I don't care for ear buds so it's a nice alternative. It's a little heavy but doable. Mic works nicely. I use it for recording lessons for school. No complaints.

    This is probably one of the best headphones for gaming and stuff. Microphone quality is great, sound quality is amazing. My only concern is that when the surround sound adapter is plugged in it makes the Microphone sound a bit soft but that’s all.

    I needed a sound reducing headset that plugs into a computer (which did not have bluetooth) and these are perfect I have a drumming class next to my office and they make a lot of noise! They cut out the noise so well as my learners couldn't here

      Hello,

      You can use without the USB adapter for Stereo sound if you'd like, but you'd indeed need iCue to make adjustments when the dongle is in use. If you need help, or anything clarified, please reach out at any time: support.corsair.com

    Very good headset if you don't mind the cord. Used for several hours of pc gaming and haven't had any issues yet, Not the most fancy headset out there but for the price it gets the job done on a budget.

    Good sound and easy to use. However the two I bought both bad problems within a few months. One has no sound on one side, the other headset now has random static. This is our third time buying a Corsair product and will be going to the store today to buy another brand.
