Average Customer Review:
The USB headset for gamers who care about audio If you're like most gamers, you use your computer--and your headset--for more than just gaming. You listen to music, watch movies, and even use voice chat applications like Skype. The Corsair Gaming Audio Series HS1 was designed for you. With its massive 50mm drivers and careful acoustic engineering, the HS1 delivers amazing audio quality, clarity, and depth for the competitive advantage you need in your games. But that's just the beginning... movie soundtracks will come alive with full virtual surround sound, and you'll enjoy detailed, uncolored music reproduction that's beyond anything you've experienced in a typical gaming headset. Built for comfort The noise-isolating, closed-back circumaural design helps keep noise out, so you can keep your head in the game. With its padded headband, extra-large earcups, and replaceable memory foam earpads, the HS1 fits comfortably around your ears without binding or pinching, making the HS1 easy to wear for hours of non-stop gaming. And since they're covered with breathable microfiber fabric, you'll find them cooler, too. Dolby® Headphone technology for virtual multi-channel surround
Listening fatigue is a common problem with headphones and headsets. It's caused by having isolated drivers delivering the right and left channels independently to each ear, making the audio seem to come from inside your head. Dolby Headphone technology brings the audio "out of your head", adding a natural sounding balance and spaciousness. Advanced audio processing, including psychoacoustic modeling, lets you get the most out of multi-channel games and movies, putting you in the environment in a way that ordinary stereo headsets simply can't match. You can even transform ordinary stereo sound sources like MP3s into an immersive virtual 5.1 surround sound experience.

The HS1 control panel for Windows allows you to choose stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound, and even choose the exact position of the virtual audio sources. You can select from multiple room sizes and environments for just the right amount of realism, and exploit the amazing dynamic range of the 50mm drivers across the entire frequency spectrum by tuning the equalization to match your media and your style. You can even change your voice in Skype and multiplayer games to amuse your friends and confuse your enemies.
What the experts are saying about the Corsair Gaming Audio Series HS1
"Bottom line: the Corsair HS1...is the best gaming headset we've come across and is certainly worthy of a recommendation if you're looking for a premium sound from a premium product."
- Hexus.net, September 2010
"The comfort level of the Corsair HS1 USB Gaming Headset was nothing short of spectacular. The combination of the thick memory foam and absorbent cloth fabric is a great match and to be honest, it makes us wonder why more companies don't do this... The Corsair HS1 USB Gaming Headset is a great entry to the audio market and we have to give Corsair the thumbs up on their efforts."
- Legit Reviews, September 2010
"It's worth noting that the HS1 was more comfortable than any headset we've tried, including various Razer headsets, the Steelseries Siberia V2, and the Psyko. It’s also more comfortable over the long haul than our dedicated Sennheiser HD 580 audio headphones. In the end, Corsair has exceeded expectations. The audio quality, while not perfect, is certainly excellent overall. Factor in the high level of comfort and the $99 price tag, and you have a nearly unbeatable combination."
- Tom's Hardware Guide, September 2010
"The HS1's sound is generally excellent, with high-end and mid-range tones particularly detailed and clear; female vocals in particular sound deliciously smooth and natural... The Corsair HS1 is a headset capable of high-quality audio that's also supremely comfortable to wear over long periods - a rare feat indeed. More than a few times during our testing we looked around our desks for the HS1 only to realise we were still wearing it – it really is that comfy!"
