Corsair CA-HS1 USB Gaming Headset Reviews



october 4 2010 review by techgage


Corsair CA-HS1 USB Gaming Headset Corsair's first entry into the world of audio is very impressive, despite the headset being USB based. What it may lack in form it certainly makes up in function. A fair bit of work must of gone into the drivers as well since the Dolby Headphone effect does add an extra dimension to the sound without compromising too much on audio quality.

The 7.1 Virtual Speaker option is available with all input options from 2 channel stereo to 7.1, although it is best used in conjunction with the 7.1 input mode. This allows you to change the position of both you and the speakers within a virtual environment, shifting focus more to the rear or front, as well as sub-woofer volume control. This can be best noticed with 5.1 music or movies with the appropriate encoding.

Features:

  • Circumaural, closed-back earcups for superior noise isolation
  • Frequency response tuned to deliver serious gaming punch without sacrificing audio quality for music and movies
  • Massive 50mm drivers for high-quality audio reproduction
  • Replaceable memory foam earpads with fabric covers for a firm fit without binding or pinching
