The Corsair HS1 USB headset is about as serious as you can get for superior audio while gaming, watching movies or simply Skyping. The all new line from Corsair is a bit out of their comfort zone of storage and cooling gear, but at least they’ve done it right. Headset gear is an essential part of enjoying intense games like FPS Doom, Half Life or Halo. In addition it keeps the other half equally as happy [meaning Mom’s, girlfriends and wives don’t b!@ch about the cranked up noise].
The HS1 was built for supreme audio with massive 50mm drivers to deliver more accurate low-frequency effects in a carefully tuned acoustical design. The clear, low-noise reproduction of the unidirectional noise-canceling microphone lets teammates hear better, and with extra-large inline volume and microphone controls it’s easy to grab and control sounds given the situation of the game.
Some other notable points before making the jump to Corsair for full details:
- Circumaural, closed-back ear-cups for superior noise isolation
- Replaceable memory foam ear-pads with fabric covers for a firm fit without binding or pinching
