CORSAIR HS55 STEREO Review | A budget gaming headset with an excellent microphone..

 Quite a while back, Corsair delivered the HS50 spending plan gaming headset, and I was really dazzled with the worth on offer and nice sound quality. Presently I've been evaluating its better than ever rendition, the Corsair HS55, and they're correspondingly noteworthy for a $60 sets of jars. However they additionally face sterner contest.

The $60 HS55 Sound system is really basically the same as the $50 HS50 with regards to tech specs: it's fueled by 50mm drivers fit for conveying a 20-20,000Hz recurrence reaction, and the mouthpiece shows up as much a match as well. In any case, there are a couple of key contrasts that could make you need to think about the HS55.

Back to the audit and the HS55 headset is a lot comfier than Corsair's past spending plan models. The rich earcups on the HS55 make for a distinct correlation with the HS50's firm and unbudging froth. The HS55 is likewise lighter, at 284g, which immensely affects solace over extensive stretches. I wore this pair for the majority of seven days, 8 hours every day, and I didn't want to lose them anytime. They can be a little damp with sweat on hot days because of the leatherette material they're shrouded in, yet that is a typical disadvantage among gaming headsets in this cost range

The greatest purge is the mouthpiece arm, which is currently connected for all time to the HS55's avoided earcup and can be flipped up and with regard to the way assuming that as of now not required. This is certainly an improvement over the past HS50, which had a removable mic by means of 3.5mm jack. Try not to pass judgment on me, yet I've lost my reasonable portion of headset receivers in my vocation, however I really hate leaving the mic before my face all day when it's not being used. A flip-up mic is a greatly improved choice, so delighted to see one get it done with the HS55.

I will say that this mic isn't exactly all around as advantageous as some others, in any case. My partners said it got through a little peaceful in gatherings, which wasn't quite a bit of an issue as the flexi-arm permits you to twist it somewhat nearer to your face. In any case, when bowed into place, I found it will in general catch my hair and lean against my face somewhat once flipped up. It's something seemingly insignificant, however it makes it only an undeniably fiddlier than different headsets I've tried.

The mouthpiece sounds perfect, at any rate, and that truly counts here. I'm truly dazzled with exactly the way that unmistakable the HS55's amplifier is: the unpretentious tones and subtlety of my voice's tasty tone (as I would see it) come through precisely in testing, which you can pay attention to underneath. There's an astonishing degree of lucidity in this mic, even in the lower reaches, and it's a truly extraordinary answer for a spending plan headset.

This is a 3.5mm wired headset, nonetheless, so remember that both the receiver and sound quality could be unfavorably impacted by your motherboard's DAC/amp or whatever sound card/outer gadget you plug it into. It shouldn't have an enormous effect these days, even the least expensive motherboards have generally fair sound, however worth saving an idea for your comprehensive sound arrangement.

Presently onto the sound, and the HS55 isn't exactly as noteworthy in that frame of mind for what it's worth in mic input. Dislike the HS55 sounds awful. It totally doesn't. Yet, it has that unequivocal twinge of less expensive driver sound that is excessively sharp in the higher frequencies.

I'm truly intrigued with exactly the way that reasonable the HS55's amplifier is.

All things considered, the bass reaction is shockingly respectable in a spending plan headset, and I think the way in to this is all there is to it's not been whacked up to 11 as it frequently is on many gaming headsets. The bass is somewhat deficient with regards to when it gets down to the murkiest profundities of sub-bass, as you don't actually feel the pounding bass much with the HS55. However at last this light touch forestalls a portion of the all-too-normal squash of sounds at the low-end that can make a spending plan gaming headset a genuine bad dream to pay attention to music on. That doesn't occur with the Corsair HS55, and it's anything but a terrible pair for paying attention to certain tunes.

It's principally a gaming headset, however, and it performs better in such manner. There's sufficient definition between the highs, mids, and lows to utter out various sounds in-game, and that is critical if you, similar to me, play a game that depends vigorously on sound prompts to flag risk. I play a ton of Chase: Confrontation, and I didn't feel like I was missing significant prompts in-game with the HS55 on.

You're getting a comfier and lighter headset in the HS55 over the HS50, and at last I feel it merits the slight cost knock for those upgrades. The HS55 feels somewhat less expensive than the HS50, nonetheless, with even more a plasticky vibe to it. Fortunately it actually feels strong and is plainly professional regardless.

In any case, Corsair's own is a long way from this headset's just rivalry. You've Razer's Kraken and BlackShark V2 X jars, which both make for a decent challenge, and HyperX can be tracked down selling a couple of models for generally a similar cost, remembering the Cloud II(opens for new tab) when on offer. That is fierce opposition, however the Corsair conveys to the point of justifying thought by any gamer hoping to get a few new jars.

The receiver is the genuine star here. It's wonderfully clear and offers an incredible outcome. You shouldn't battle to be heard on Strife or in talk in-game, and you won't be that player with the stifled and scratchy receiver nobody needs to play with. While the mic's plan isn't exactly beat on how I'd like it, it's both advantageous and sounds perfect. That truly places the HS55 in dispute costing this much.
