Good headphones, great price

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2019

I am very happy with these headphones. They are comfortable after hours of use, even with glasses. The sound quality is good- they are not nearly as sound-cancelling as some of the more expensive options, but they do the job, especially for their price. My online friends seem happy with the quality of my microphone. The fabric on the ears is not the most breathable, so it gets a bit warm in the summer months. I have been using them almost daily for over a year and they still look brand new.

Low Durability and bad customer service

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2017

Update 7-2018
After 6 months of use, the left earcup has broken from the headband. They have never been dropped or misused in any way. I contacted Corsair about the issue and they did issue a RMA, but I have to pay for shipping to and from Corsair. In addition, it will take 2-4 weeks before they send out a replacement. It's too bad because I really liked the headphones, but I game daily and cannot go that long without a headset.

For a gaming set and only $50 dollars, these are awesome! The comfort on these is incredible and they are built very well. For the 1st time, I have a pair of cans that don't touch my ears, they surround them. The cushion on the crossbar is excellent and makes these headphones very light feeling and super comfortable. This set of headphones has much cleaner and deeper bass compared to my last set and sound great for non-audiophile ears. I am getting only compliments from my friends online and in game. They are saying they can hear me cleaner and better than ever before. I have used $200+ headphones in the past and overall, these are the best far as gaming sets go. So for only $50 dollars, I highly recommend these for the comfort, overall sound and great microphone.

Good sound quality but a lack luster microphone

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2018

I use these on my Xbox/PC, they have a great sound quality and the price is even better. Some have said the sound quality on these is nearly as good as some expensive pairs - I would agree. For sound quality and price alone this is a great buy, but those looking for a strong microphone may want to consider a diff pair. So far my mic has worked well enough, but I did have to play with my settings on diff devices to it would stop catching odd background noises or hearing the noises coming from the earpieces (echoes). Odd, but not unworkable; at max volume in your earpiece, your mic may have a slight echo s it seems to be picking up your audio.

For most gaming this won't be an issue as you may not even need deafeningly loud sound, though if you watch a lot of movies with headphones you may have issues at higher levels. Some reviews have reported that their mics stopped working after only a few weeks/months - mine has worked well for the last few months, I would argue though that the mic does seem a bit fragile so take care of it. The rest of the headset’s parts seem sturdy enough I have no complaints. In terms of comfort, they are fine. I have worn them for hours at a time and while they could be more comfortable they are good enough for the money. Would definitely buy again if a better Mic was added on, for now though very happy with this one time purchase.

Great universal headset

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2018

Good sound quality in both Ps4 and for music off of my phone, I play Rainbow six and Fortnite quite a bit so good sound quality can sometimes mean the difference between life and death in-game. They perform quite well and I could successfully track player movements with the sound.

Moving on the mute button does work, Its a small component but I have had headsets with wonky mute buttons so I thought it was worthy of a mention.
I wear glasses so some headsets can be uncomfortable to wear with them on but it is not an issue, I was able to wear them for long gaming sessions without much discomfort to my head or where my glasses sit.
Do make sure you keep track of the detachable mic piece as it is on the smaller side so it can easily be lost, the mic is also of the flexible variety so you can place it where you would prefer.
All in all It is a great headset and I use them quite often for music, If you're looking for a headset primarily for in-game sound quality I would recommend you look into the PDP AfterGlow AG 9's ( not sponsored or paid to mention) As they are better in that regard but I highly recommend Corsair if you are in the market for a universal headset as you get amazing quality for the price

Work great, Excellent Value

I've been using these for over a month now and absolutely love them. Very comfortable on the head and they adjust well for the smallest person (fits on my 6 yr old) to me, 53 yr old :)

I bought them primarily so I could listen to my shows while the wife sleeps. I watch Prime and Netflix on my Xbox and they work great with my controller. My kid plays games and I can turn the surround sound off as he listens to his games through these. Now if I could just get him to figure out that he doesn't need to yell into the mic while playing with his friends, it would be perfect!

Why are good headphones so hard to find?

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

Extremely comfortable. Decent microphone. The sound quality was good and great spatial tracking in games. Unfortunately though, within 6 months of owning them, a plastic piece that secures a swiveling portion just above the cup to the band that goes over the head broke, and now the sharp piece prevents it from being worn. If they'd used stronger plastic, or better yet metal, this headset would have probably been a keeper for years to come.

Great bang for your buck headset. Does everything I need it to do. Very comfortable on my head and doesn’t make my ears hurt after wearing it for a while. At first it did but after a few times of wearing it it formed to my head and now it feels great.

Headset incredible, mic kinda iffy.

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2018

Love this headset. The sound is incredible, and the earmuffs are very comfortable. My only complaint is that whenever I have it plugged into my PS4 the mic randomly stops working. I have done everything from unplugging the mic from the headset to resetting the system. It just comes, and goes. When it does work the quality of the mic shows. My voice comes in crystal clear. Other than that loving the headset.

Good Quality Heasset

I just got these headphones after several weeks of debating between the HyperX and Cougar Headsets. I settled on these after checking reviews and other websites. I have to say I am very pleased with them.

When I opened the package and took them out I could tell that they were very well made. I record youtube videos for hours at a time and after having these on my head for 6 straight hours it felt like I had nothing on at all. My head was not hurting and my ears had a nice cool and non smooshed feeling to them. I also have to add that even when wearing glasses with them the frames did not once get pushed into the sides of my head.

As for sound quality they are very nice for the price range. I was able to play my game and feel like I was in the thick of it. All the creaks and god awful noises came right in and made the game feel real. The added bonus of the volume rocker on the left can is a welcome feature so I can make quick adjustments as I record the videos.

Perfecto y todo, pero...

El producto es bueno, ahora bien... El material de las almohadillas (si sudas mucho o hace mucho calor) se va deshaciendo en tus orejas y aparentemente no se pueden comprar reemplazos porque no te deja cambiarlos.

Por lo demas, excelente producto para 1 o 2 años de uso continuo.
