Reviews: Headsets with Microphones

Although more known as a computer hardware manufacturer, Corsair is trying its luck in the audio market with the HS1 headset, primarily aimed at gamers. The HS1 headset feels sturdy as soon as you unwrap it, and it definitely felt robust when we tested it. It's design is bulky, well-made and solid, so we've got no complaints there. However, we do have a few doubts about the paint job and some of the materials used, which are reminiscent of lower-end, unbranded models. The headset is very comfortable to wear thanks to its chunky padding, but if your head's a tad on the large side, the headband could end up being a bit short. Big ears, on the other hand, won't be a problem, as the HS1 has very large earphones. Then again, we suppose you do need a fair bit of room to pack in 50 mm transducers! The microphone isn't retractable, but can be moved up or down into position. The headset can also be folded and the microphone can be spun round out of the way. It's just a shame the microphone doesn't automatically mute when flipped into the vertical position. First things first, the HS1 isn't so good for listening to music: the upper frequencies are imbalanced, there's a serious lack of bass and the overall output sounds hollow.

Corsair HS1 USB Gaming Headset Review

With so many headsets to choose from on the market these days, manufacturers have been trying to create a product that sets them apart from the mainstream. Corsair has designed the HS1 to simulate the couch listening experience so the music is not “in your head” but rather surrounding you like your typical home stereo setup would. The design is composed of larger than average drivers, a very creative and comfortable design, and an attention to sound detail that every audiophile and gamer will be in awe of. Their hardware solution is crisp and clean in its audio reproduction and when coupled with their software, gives unmatched control of audio features that are sure to make the experience adjustable to each individuals liking. Special thanks to Corsair for providing us with the HS1 USB Gaming Headset to Review. The Corsair HS1’s come neatly packaged in a blue, white and black box, exactly the same colors that you’ll find on their logos and branding on their wide variety of products. The right side of the box has a clear plastic window so you can preview the design of half of the headset.

Corsair HS1 USB Gaming Headset

Now, the first thing you’re going to notice about the HS1 USB gaming headset is that it isn’t the best looking set out there. It’s bulky, the color choice is uninspired, and the odd decision to pad the bottom and top of the headband gives the whole thing a sort of bloated aesthetic. There—now that that’s out of the way, we can talk about the reasons that Corsair’s first headset kicks ass. For one, it sounds great. That supersize chassis means more room for big, beefy 50mm drivers. These give the HS1 clear highs and bass that’s great for a pair of headphones. The dynamic range is also stellar, letting everything from gunshots to quiet, ambient background noises come through with excellent clarity. The Dolby Headphone technology does a good job of simulating a 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound environment, and provides you with several virtual listening spaces to choose from. The configuration software also lets you apply environmental effects, mess with the equalization, and apply “karaoke” effects to your own voice with the built-in microphone. The HS1 is also one of the most comfortable pairs of headphones we’ve ever worn.

Corsair HS1 review

If you're familiar with Corsair, it'll be because you're the type of person that likes to open up their PC and fiddle. A well-respected brand for memory, power supplies, solid state hard drives and USB keys, Corsair isn't a name that you'd normally associate with audio.That's because the HS1 is the first headset that Corsair has ever designed. Don't think for a moment that the HS1 isn't still quite techie, though. It's pitched directly at demanding gamers with its large, 50mm stereo drivers and support for Dolby Headphone surround effects, while a swinging boom on the right contains a unidirectional condenser mic to pick up your desperate calls for more DOTs. As impressive as the spec sheets for the HS1 look, this sort of price point isn't for the faint-hearted. It's inhabited by highly established names such as Sennheiser, Logitech and Steelseries. Has Corsair got what it takes to compete? Design-wise, the HS1 gets everything right. The headphones themselves are fully hinged on the brace so that the entire bulky kit folds down for taking to LAN events and the like.

Corsair HS1 USB Gaming Headset Review

Corsair is no new kid on the block having been around since 1994 and eventually becoming one of the largest suppliers of quality computer memory. Up until a few years ago however, RAM was all they sold. Since then, Corsair has successfully branched out into some of the more popular markets for computer hardware including but not limited to: power supplies; cases; and more recently, SSDs. Today, Corsair is looking to branch out yet again. This time it will be into the gaming headset market with their HS1. Gaming headsets are all-in-one solutions that offer a pair of headphones, a microphone and in the case of USB headsets such as the HS1, the ability to be used on any computer that has at least one USB port. They are targeted toward competitive gamers and as such need to excel at comfort, durability, sound quality and ease of use. In addition, they must have a quality microphone. The large amount of junk headsets on the market should be a sign that this is no easy task. Today, I'll be testing Corsair's HS1 to see if it's up to the challenge.

Corsair HS1 USB Gaming Headset

Corsair has been slowly expanding its product range over the years. No more the simple memory company, it's expanded into power supplies, water-cooling, cases, solid-state drives and USB flash memory. It may not come as a surprise, but a new item to the list will be audio, or in this case a USB headset. Like many other companies, Corsair is really building up its brand name by tailoring towards gamers and pro-consumers. Thankfully, it's going by the quality rather than quantity strategy... one only needs to look at its H50/70 water-coolers, 800D case and rock-solid power supplies. Coming up, we'll be taking a look at Corsair's latest and first release into the audio segment of the gaming market with its HS1 USB Headset. At around $100, it sits in with a tough crowd, such as the Logitech G35 and Sennheiser PC330. The HS1 is a circumaural or over-ear headset with a closed-back design for passive noise cancelling. The HS1 is also USB-based and thus uses its own drivers. For some this may be a problem since it will bypass your current soundcard and any CPU offloading and audio enhancements it may provide, but if you have a decent soundcard, you'd probably have a decent set of headphones already.
