Corsair HS65 Surround Headset unboxing, review and mic tests
124This is my review of the Corsair HS65 Surround Headset, an affordable, yet premium gaming headset from Corsair that's designed to work best on PC and yet also functions well on console and other devices thanks to its 3.5mm cable.
Features of the HS65 Surround include:
Comfortable (removable) memory foam earcups
50mm drivers that work with Sony Tempest 3D audio on PS5
Dolby surround sound on PC
Personalised audio via Sonarworks SoundID Tech
Omni-directional microphone (Used for the voice over of this video)
And more
Highlights for me:
- The lightweight design and padding make it comfortable to wear
- Nice large earcups
- SoundID personalisation makes for interesting and customisable sound
- Reasonable soundscape
- Great design for the price
Lowlights:
Mic has some problems with hiss and electromagnetic hum
