  • Adjustable boom for mic a bit bulky

  • You probably know Corsair best for its memory products, power supplies, and SSDs. But now the company is jumping into the crowded headset market with an unassuming entry that’s both affordable and capable of offering great sound quality. Corsair isn’t ...

  • Pre-Order Not available yet Having at one point limited itself to just memory, Corsair’s expansion into new areas shows no sign of slowing with the release of the HS1, its first gaming headset. Like many of the top gaming headsets, such as Sennhei...

  • Corsair wants to enter the gaming headset market and their introduction is the HS1. It's not particularly amazing sounding as far as headphones go. However, compared to other headsets, the HS1 has a small edge. The HS1 is very sturdy and feels as thou...

  • The HS1 from Corsair is a great headset at a really impressive price point. There’s no other way to put it. Combining some excellent material choice with first grade construction make this a discerning choice for all media buffs far and wide before ...
