CorsairHS70 Pro Wireless Gaming Headset - 7.1 Surround Sound Headphones for PC, MacOS, PS5, PS4 - Discord Certified - 50mm Drivers – Carbon,Black

I absolutely love this headset. I ordered it after looking at many reviews online and it appears that it has been revised or this package just comes with more features. I thought it had micro-usb, but I am happy to report it charges via usb-c and came with a high quality braided cable. The included aux cable is very nice and flexible and also braided, but be sure to follow the directions to plug the headset end into the headset. I forgot to do this and was having some weird audio issues with the microphone until I corrected it. It also came with a microphone wind cover (the foam thing on the mic) that completely gets rid of the issues some people were having in windy conditions or when they speak loudly.The sound quality is amazing for the price point, with clear highs and good bass. It won't blow you out of the water like a proper surround sound system with high-end speakers will but it sounds very good and I really like listening to music on it. For a comparison it is most definitely ahead of AirPods in sound quality, so if you are looking for a good headset and like AirPods quality level this will be a good upgrade. I haven't had a battery issue yet because I haven't run it all the way down, but I've heard it lasts about 15 hours.Comfort is best in class. It lists snugly on my head and won't fall off easily, without pressing my head like a vice. The metal construction for the headband is very strong and I don't think it will lose it's ability to stay snug on my head anytime soon, but I'll update this if it does. Build quality is phenomenal, it is very sturdy, all foam pieces feel thick and I know they won't compress with time. I feel the headband on my head but it is very light and won't become uncomfortable or anything after long play sessions. The only issue is if you run hot the fake leather ear cups may become decently hot after a while, but I'm just sitting in my room with the fan on and it doesn't happen to me. Might not be fun in the summer heat though.The looks of it are great, it doesn't look like a gamer headset or anything and I love that the mic is detachable for when I don't want it. I really like the matte black look and it just looks really nice and feels high-quality in person.The microphone is good, albeit not the best it could be. My friends have no problem hearing me and I sound clear, the sound just sounds slight robotic and makes my voice somewhat lower and slightly flatter when it loses some of the high notes. I hope future iterations will be upgraded since microphone components aren't incredibly expensive and quality would benefit greatly. If Corsair decided to be really nice they could even sell a better microphone since it is detachable, but I doubt that will happen.To compare it to other headsets I've owned, it is the best I've ever had. I owned the first generation turtle beach stealth 700 and can't speak for the second gen, but this stays on my head much better, had much better sound quality, looks much nicer (much nicer than the second gen turtle beach's too in my opinion), and is constructed much better. The second gen turtle beach have usb-c, metal headbands, and probably sound better too so they will probably be a much better competitor though. Like I said, they sound better than AirPods but obviously AirPods are ear buds and are in a different convenience class.A lot of users had reported the microphone not working when using Bluetooth, but whether it's the updated version or whatever, it works perfectly fine for me. I can make phone calls from my phone perfectly fine using Bluetooth. Although, at least on iOS and macOS, only the play/pause of the multi-function button work. You're supposed to be able to double and triple click for skip/previous, but all that does is pause it for me, so hopefully that gets fixed. Another thing that would be nice with a firmware update is adding support for battery indicators in iOS and android operating systems, and making it easier to view in the iCUE app on computer. It would be really nice to look at the connected device and know what it's battery is since it doesn't have a button to say the battery level or something like some headphones do.All in all, this is a really nice headset that is very worth it if you have the money. With great sound, excellent accessories, and amazing comfort and build quality, it will be hard to find a competitor to this headset.

Listen, I bought this headset about 2 years ago and have been using it on a daily basis. I use it for work where I take calls and for gaming. The sound quality is great and the mic is decent. I never had any issues with compatibility. I also used it on my PS4 and PS5.Here is the one thing you should know:This headset is apparently well known for having battery issues. I had a coworker who used it and it stopped charging around the same time as mine did (2 year mark). This could honestly be normal for a charging headset, 2 years is a decent amount of time but my recommendation is to go with the 3 year extended warranty. I am going to be repurchasing this headset with it this time. (Yes, I like it so much I will buy it again).I tried purchasing a different headset, the HyperX Cloud II which is a modern headset but the sound quality and mic quality was not as good and it's much more expensive than this. The HyperX also has a terrible feature where it auto shuts off if no sound is coming in, the Corsair HS70 will only auto shut off if you leave the connection range and it will beep a few times as a warning before it does.My current Corsair HS70 headset does still work it just can't survive unplugged. I did look into changing the battery and in the instructional video I found they pulled out a puffy battery (that is bad) and the replacement did not work until they rewired it. I am pretty tech savvy but I am not an electrician, okay? So yes I could save myself a little bit of money but replacing the battery is a no go for me. But maybe you can do it. :)Pros:-Sound Quality really good (in my opinion)-Mic is decent-Comfortable, can wear for 8+ hours straight and I have sensitive ears-Wireless range is decent-When new the length of battery charge is okay but will slowly decline over timeCons:-Battery will die at about the 2 year mark if you use the headset as often as I do. Around the 1.5 mark it would slowly lose more and more time off charge until now when it finally cannot survive unplugged (but still works).-It is a little heavy on the head which could bother some

Sound is great in my opinion, while there has been concerns of battery life as stated in other reviews, this has not been a problem for me, as I normally use it wired anyways. The only issue I see is that the earcups wear out quite quickly, and it is difficult replacing them. These would have gotten 5 stars if they made the ear cups detachable, would have added so much more life to these headphones.Pros.Very good sound quality for a gaming headsetVery comfortable for long durationsFits easily on people like me who have bigger heads and earsDetachable mic is also niceCons.Ear Cups wear out quickly (The pair i have currently didnt even last a year before the cups started peeling)Battery is prone to having issuesSoftware is basic
