About this deal

The Corsair HS65 Surround may not be as feature-rich as others, but when it comes to gaming headsets, audio performance is king, and that’s where this headset truly shines. There is a lot of compression in the audio capture, and I suspect there is also a bit of noise suppression filter applied (which cannot be turned off) which further degrades the audio and muffles your voice. It can spice-up music a little, but it’s not a guaranteed solution for 360-degree awareness in video games.

But, while it’s a look that I’m very glad Corsair went with, I won’t be getting into the specifics of that. If surround sound isn’t on your wist-list, you can save a bit opting for the older Corsair HS55 instead. The app offers a 10-band EQ for personalizing the HS65 Wireless’ sound profile, as well as EQ presets for different kinds of activities. The memory foam leatherette ear pads and headband padding are not only plush and luxurious, but also breathable. The best gaming headsets have to balance a lot of things carefully: The speakers need to sound great.In Control, even something as mundane as a movie projector is accurately represented, so much so that even when I swing my point of view around, I could hear the projector sound swirling around me. It lacks Bluetooth support, but it has similar battery performance, better sound, and a much more comfortable suspension frame. The iCue software itself has three functions to play around with: Equalizer, SoundID Personalization and Device Settings.

speaker system here, but the effect is as close to the real thing as you can get with a pair of headsets. For those who want more, there is also a bass-boost mode that takes things way over the top in my opinion. The frame is machined out of high quality aluminum and other materials to provide a strong and robust device that will last you for years. I have a bald head that really puts that aspect of comfort to the test, and this headset didn't leave me feeling tender on the crown of my head. Many competing headsets offer options which you don’t really need, like detachable mics or the Kraken V3 Hypersense's haptic functionality.Listening to a rock song like Right Way Backby Crown Lands, the kick drum and the reverberant part of the tom hits really come through prominently. But it also means that, despite being wireless and cross compatible with the PS5 and the Nintendo Switch, you will only get the best performance out of it if you are using it on the PC. PCMag is obsessed with culture and tech, offering smart, spirited coverage of the products and innovations that shape our connected lives and the digital trends that keep us talking. It features rotating ear cups that lay flat when not in use, and is made with leatherette memory foam for added comfort while playing games or listening to music.
