Corsair HS35 Surround v2 Multiplatform Wired Gaming Headset Dolby 7 1 Flexible Omni-Directional Microphone Universal 3 5mm Connection

I bought these mainly to do recordings/calls for jobs at home. From my experience as a gamer and working years at a call center, I would rate these above-average. The headphones are lightweight, they have plenty of padding for the head and ears, making them great for all-day sessions. The microphone is also serviceable. You're not going to get a ton of depth here and the background noise isolation is decent to block out whatever is happening in a room adjacent to you. I'll probably buy a small form mic cover at some point, which should improve clarity and isolation. The speaker quality on these headphones are also great for the price. I would place them below budget non-headset staples, like the Sennheiser 202, but that's just nitpicking. These speakers have less range, but good bass, and quality pads that won't make your ears get hot. Highly recommended for gamers who want something that isn't too generic or those who do a lot of online conferencing/recordings that is low-profile and has a good mic. Read more

I had Corsair HS35. The Corsair HS35 v2 has improved. I liked my old headset so much, I was upset when I couldn't find the old version. But the changes are nice. The fabric band across the top is just as comfortable as the foam pad was on v1, but probably breathes better. The headset ear pieces twist just a bit to contour to your head better. Solid purchase. No audio issues like those caused by cheap heatsets. Read more

These headsets are actually pretty good for the price. The bad reviews that I've seen are mostly complaining about missing the splitter, which isn't Corsair's fault that the consumer isn't capable of reading which model is specifically for PC and Amazon clearly states this on each model. The headset itself feels somewhat cheaply made, but again, they are entry level. If you take care of them they will last. Sound quality is actually pretty good, again, for the price point. They aren't 7.1 surround sound, but if you really require surround sound you probably won't be using headphones to begin with. I've been using these when playing Modern Warfare and they sound great. I'm not sure that even having 7.1 headphones would make a difference. Having a microphone that is removable is convenient for me, since I generally only use it when playing with friends. I tend to not use it so much unless the team I'm playing with is receptive to teamwork and communication. The mic itself from what I'm told is decent enough. I think really it comes down to playing with the settings to fine tune threshold and volume. Again, for the price, these are actually very good headphones. The cord is plenty long for PC, dare I say too long. If you just bundle the excess and leave yourself a little wiggle room you'll be good to go. I was hesitant to buy an entry level headset, but after using these a little over a month, I can't justify buying over priced ones. If I were to buy another or more expensive set, it would be a wireless model. Oh, and as far as comfort, they do well after a couple of hours. They are light enough that they don't weigh down on your head. Overall a good set for the money. There are a few things to be desired, hence the 4 star rating. But overall they are worth the 30 bucks. Read more

I LOVE this headset. I was recommended the Corsair brand by my boyfriend who games with me online. He originally recommended a more expensive pair, but after browsing all of the Corsair options, I settled with this pair and I am super happy! First off, the set as a physical examination is satisfying; they look clean and neat and they fit my head comfortably and perfectly. The noise cancellation is WONDERFUL. The ear pads are super soft and cover my ears completely without pressing on any sensitive parts of my ears and causing irritation. The mic is detachable (which I LOVE because sometime I want to lay in bed with a movie or music). The sound quality is MUCH better than my last [unknown] headset. I used to have my volume at full and still had room for more noise. With this headset, my ears are being comfortably blasted at only half volume. When playing my video game (World of Warcraft), I can always efficiently hear all the sounds of my game, along with the voices of my friends in Discord, at the same time I have music playing on Spotify. I would definitely recommend this headset to anyone for any audio need. It is much better quality than I assumed it would be, especially for the price. I am super happy! Read more

I like the price i like the design of it I like how comfortable these are, I like how light weight they are, I love the sound quality on these things, I'm telling ya I've bought alot of headsets i mean alot and it's too embarrassing to mention how many but between animals and my son still growing up we've went through alot of them and over the years this set of head phones have been not only a contender but it has reigned champion of our house for awhile, needless to say this headgear will remain the best headgear we've bought. The sound quality is outstanding I actually check behind me during a game ora movie because it sounds so life like and so real they've managed to take a flat sounding headset and finally give it alot of depth and richness i mean you'll actually look to see what or who is behind you as you play your game or watch your movie it's that life like that amazingly put together. It's tough to find headsets that'll go the distance but this one has, it's even survived the vacuum cleaner i swear to ya the cord was sucked up into the vacuum by mistake of course but it lived and was unscaved from it. I don't recommend doing this on purpose too see if I'm right or serious cuz I'm dead serious I review alot of things and trust me in not into putting out stuff that's not been done or truthful. I enjoy reviewing cuz it helps people in a positive way so do yourself a favor but these headsets you'll not go wrong with this purchase Read more
