The Corsair HS1 with 50mm drivers is certainly a very good set of gaming headset. The ability to customize the sound signature of each of the virtual speakers makes for one potent combination that should appeal to a wide range of audiences.

Volume control over individual virtual channels ; Extremely intuitive and easy to use software ; Stylish good looks ; Surround sound works very well ; Extremely comfortable ; Long braided cable ; Low resource / lightweight software ; Massive 50mm...

No ability to change from stereo to virtual surround sound except via software ; Voice changer options are gimmicky ; No travel case included ; Extremely forward mids and highs in default setup ; Bass is less than expected from 50mm drivers

One thing that Corsair is not known for is its audio product line. Most likely because until now it has not had one. With its new HS1 Gaming Headset Corsair is attempting to navigate some very uncharted waters but it is looking like Corsair has managed...

Corsair has created an excellent headset with its own sound card built in. A user carries the same sound from computer to computer.

So, if anyone had asked us a year ago "what is the next area that Corsair would branch out into?" we can say with absolute certainty that our response would not have been audio. Some sort of peripheral, a mouse or keyboard maybe but audio... not a...

A very strong entry into the audio market by Corsair. Not quite to the same standard they have achieved with cases, coolers or power supplies however the potential is there. Corsair could do with learning that decisions in audio products should be left...

Corsair HS1

 

I normally hate installing drivers for anything but my graphics card; this won't work without them, but they actually stay out of the way and are quite useful.

Sounds good. Very long cable. Extremely comfortable
