Product details

The Corsair HS55 Surround Gaming Headset is comfortable to wear all day and features high sound quality. In addition to comfortable faux leather ear cushions made of memory foam and Dolby Audio 7.1 surround sound on PC and Mac, the headset impresses with its lightweight design. The omnidirectional microphone ensures that your voice is transmitted clearly and distinctly. Thanks to the 3.5mm jack, you can also use the headset with most devices. It weighs only 273 g and features adjustable headbands and ear cups. A volume control on the ear and a microphone with a flip-to-mute function allow for effortless operation.

The high-quality, individually tuned 50mm neodymium speaker drivers deliver excellent full-spectrum sound for virtual arenas. The included USB adapter enables multi-channel Dolby Audio 7.1 surround sound and immerses you in the game action. Your voice is captured with excellent clarity thanks to the omnidirectional microphone with flip-to-mute function. The Discord certification ensures crystal-clear communication and outstanding sound. Use the included USB adapter to activate Dolby Audio 7.1 surround sound and access other functions via the Corsair iCUE software on PC or Mac. Alternatively, you can use the 3.5mm jack to connect to PC, console, or mobile devices and quickly jump into the game.

Although the Corsair was not completely convincing in terms of sound, it had the best microphone in the tested. The headset transmits voices cleanly and clearly. The HS55 sits comfortably on the ear and is the lightest headset tested. However, the pads do not close completely.
