Customer Ratings & Reviews

I honestly wish I could give these no stars just based on the absolute hassle they have been and I’ve only had them for about a week. First off, let me at least say that the sound quality is pretty decent, but that’s it. Pretty decent. And that’s ONLY if you disable the absolutely horrible surround sound. Out of nowhere (within a week) they started only connecting when they were plugged into the usb. After a day of that, they would only connect if they were plugged in AND they would shut off if I unplugged them. After about an hour of doing everything I could to fix this ( reinstalling drivers, reinstalling “icue”, resetting headset and receiver to factory) they just stopped connecting all together even when plugged in to usb. A few other minor personal issues I had were that they’re a little bit big, so if you have a smaller head then you might find it a bit annoying. The ear cups are firm and cheap feeling but that could have just been because they’re new. I will be returning these today and I am absolutely 100% dissatisfied with Corsair on this one.

This is yet another piece of Corsair hardware that is extremely well made and crippled by absolutely ATROCIOUS software.

I've used a lot of gaming headsets and this one was so good, I had to buy another when mine stopped charging (about 2.5 years of consistent plugging and unplugging). I have yet to find one that has everything I need for such a great price.

sounds great and I love the wireless freedom. It has really good range as well. When I need to walk out of the room, I've been at least 20 feet away and still can hear the content on my PC.

Great overall but the only downfall is when im playing music in the background and talking, my voice cuts out randomly and im not clear to others listening.

Good headphones for gaming. The only downside is that the frequenzy was interfiering with my mouse

Solid wireless headset. Hard to beat for the price. The mic could be a little bit better, but it's not bad.

With so many headsets to choose from and new models appearing daily, the HS70 is a good choice at the mid-range price that meets basic needs and provides a good sound experience. The model I am reviewing is the “Cream” color but is also available in Carbon and the features and functions are the same. This headset was used on a gaming PC, so don’t have any report on use with PS4 or other gaming consoles. The main things I want in a wireless headset are the quality of the sound and microphone, comfort for long sessions, good battery life, and a smooth and consistent wireless connection. This headset meets those needs, and actually is pretty impressive for this price point. For good, basic performance, comfort and wireless function – this is a good choice. Comfort - There is good thick padding on the headphones that provide a nice seal, although taking a break from time to time will help as the seal is snug and your ears might tend to heat up since the padding is covered with “faux” leather. The headband is also well padded and very comfortable. Sound quality is impressive for this price point. Good range for the sound, bass comes in very well and all sound/frequency levels can be easily adjusted as needed. Take the time to download and configure the Corsair iCue software to get the full 7.1 surround sound for games and media that support 7.1. Once you have installed the software it connects automatically and is ready for set up to select pre-sets or change the settings. There are very good pre-sets, and you can also customize the sound with plenty of frequency sliders if you like to suit your individual needs. The microphone will detach for “earphone only” listening but keep track of the microphone module as it can get away from you when removed. The microphone does tend to pick up outside noise, so don’t plan to use this headset if you operate in a noisy environment. For gaming at home and with a few friends, this will work without a problem, but an environment with lots of outside noise will come through on the mic and can be distracting. Note that the microphone will only plug in to the left side of the headset, so if you need to have the mic on the right side for whatever reason this will not be possible. Volume control wheel and mute button are close together on the headset, and as with any new device it takes some getting used to when you want to adjust the mic or change/mute the volume – a little practice is needed to change one without bumping into the other controls. Battery Life - Corsair advertises 16 hours of use on a charge, and this seems to be accurate – good long-term use from a charge. Unfortunately there is no way to determine the remaining charge, as there is not an indicator on the headset (lights or verbal cue) and the iCue software does not show charge level, either. The solution is to be on the safe side and charge up the headset after use to be sure you are fully charged and ready to go on the next use. Charging is with the older style Micro USB, but not a problem and most of us have plenty of cables around. Wireless connection uses the included USB receiver, and connects quickly. The connection seems consistent with no drops or lags. It is easy to get spoiled with wireless connection once you get used to it, and this headset keeps a smooth connection even after leaving the room from time to time (you know what I mean) and coming back to rejoin a game. Overall, this is a good mid-range headphone that provides good comfort, long battery life, and excellent 7.1 sound that can be customized as needed.

Wireless headset works well but the battery life leaves something to be desired

The hardware is well built and sturdy. Feels more expensive than it is. Connectivity is also fairly decent. The issue is the sound. Even with audio tuning, even when utilizing both Corsair's and third-party equalizers, it's absolutely atrocious. Look elsewhere for a proper gaming headset, as I could barely hear gunshots let alone footsteps.

I was impressed just average. The fit and comfort is good

These are a pair of great headphones. They do everything I need and I can remove the microphone when I don't need it.

So far I have used theses for gaming and watching movies on my computer. No complaints. Love how I can use plug in and charge them as I use them.

My older son bought this item. He is not only using it for gaming, but is also using it for the virtual classes. It was pricy, however, worth the price. I love the fact that it is light weight and clear sound.

It works great the only problem I have with it is a very quiet buzz that is only noticeable when no audio is being played.

Every now and again I have to unplug and plug the dongle back in to get it to sync up. Minor inconvenience, other than that I love them.

the overall quality is actually really good. At times it will sound muffled but it only lasts about a minute so its not too annoying.

Best headset ever used it for years and never failed me until it stopped working with the mic suddenly but definitely put it to use so it’s fair

Honestly been really loving these. The mute button is nice to have and I like that I can adjust audio with the scroll right on the headset. Also, you can detach the mike when not using it, which is nifty.

they’re good but they are very tight around the head and have strong noice canceling
