Corsair HS70 Pro Wireless SE Gaming Headset, Black/Cream

Had this headset for about 2 months now. Used it almost every day.It's comfortable. Better than my last headset which was a Razer.The battery life is a bit poor. I tend to charge it at least 3 times a week. Sometimes every day. But I am using it plenty so you'd expect it to use a lot of juice.It is a smart looking headset. I went for the cream one. Simply because you get the same headset for cheaper. The cream bit is barely visible if you don't fancy it. Otherwise it is the same as the £85 version in black.Currently retailing at £69.99. While the black is £84.99. It just doesn't make sense to me.Build quality is pretty great to be honest and Corsair have a good complaints department If you do have any problems.The headphones themselves are not noise cancelling. But the way they encapsulate the ear does help to keep some noise out. When you play a tune, you can't hear the outside noise.The headset provides super clear audio (according to my gamer friends). Who I talk to every day while we play. The small filter does keep coming off however. That is frustrating. It dropped in my brew once.I recommend this headset. It is an excellent example and one of the better headsets in that price bracket.You can trust me on this one. I've destroyed a lot of headphones. So I buy a lot of headphones :)

Fantastic looking headset, one of the prettiest I’ve ever seen.The sound quality is great, but it’s enhanced massively if you use with Corsair icue, personally I don’t use these without icue running as the difference is night and day.The mic is super sensitive, however you have full control of this on icue including feedback, also the fact the mic is flexible and removable is a great addition.They also have the bonus of still being able to use them while being charged so if your like me and forget to charge them you can still use them.All in all they are a really great headset for the money (£69 when I bought them)There are a couple of downsides to these which some may find a little annoying.Firstly is the Corsair icue software, this is great if you use it everyday, I have it to control my lighting and fans anyway so it’s not an issue to me but other people have experienced conflict issues with icue and other lighting/cooling control software.Secondly is the actual internal depth of the earcups, I don’t have very big ears but my ears do touch the cover that covers the speakers inside the ear cup, I notice it but It doesn’t cause any pain or irritation while in use, it’s just something to bear in mind.

I am used to spending upwards of £500 per pair of headphones but I wanted something wireless, with a mic and not too pricey that I could use to casual music listening as well as teams calls for work.I picked up the Corsair HS70 after seeing a friends set.Sound Quality:Clear, with good bass extension, mids don’t appear to be dipped back too much and the highs are also well pronounced. I’d say these are comparable to Beyerdynamic DT770 but without the well roundedness or weight to the sound. Passive isolation / noise cancellation is poor, you can still hear the room easily whilst wearing these despite being a closed back set of cans.The removable mic sounds good. Nice and clear and very directional meaning it focuses pick-up on your voice and not your surroundings. Not exactly Antlion Modmic levels of good but more than good enough for any chatting.Build Quality:Decent, metal frame with fake leather cushioning, nice stitching. Plastic parts feel a bit cheaper but overall build is solid.Comfort:These headphones are very comfortable and light on the head. The cushioning is excellent and I can easily wear these for multiple hours without issue. The fact that the mic is removable is a nice touch as it gets it out of your line of sight if you’re only listening.Charging / Battery Life:I have never run these dry but I have no problem getting a full days use out of them, even into a second day. The biggest gripe is the micro USB charging port rather than USB C. I see no reason why in 2022 we aren’t using USB C on everything.Good value, good quality. Unless you are looking for a refined music listening experience, you won’t find better for a general use headset.

I really, really like this headset.Build quality is super good and it looks really good! A subtle looking headset as opposed to looking like a scouter from Dragon Ball Z. Not that I wouldn't mind having one like that.Good Points:Build quality is top notchAdjustable sliders on both sides are great and lock into place wellEar cups are super soft and make a good seal around your ear without touching it, also have good angles of swivle to fit onto any head shapeEncountered zero wireless connectivity issues and next to no latencyMic is decent too, wish the arm was just slightly stiffer but having said that, it does hold position with no problem (no quality complaints from other players)Sound quality is super fine, crisp and clean sound productionControls are easily accessible and useableBattery life is decent too, I charge once every three ish days with around 3/4 hours gaming a dayNot so Good points:I feel as though they're slightly larger around my head than other headsets with the adjusters in the default placementDo get a tiny bit warm after longer gaming sessionsNo wired capability however, you can plug in to charge and play simultaneously (other people in a game party will hear a buzz and will be annoyed so I don't recommend )Best Wireless Headset under £100 and others seem to agree also best subtle looking gaming headset
