HS65 is perfect because I need to be hearing a bit of outside sound or else imma get TOO immersed in vr and get TOO scared. Over all, it seems pretty comfy and breathable.. So that's on point for me. Thank you for another one of your great views, Techne! Have a great day and keep on uploading! These videos really do help me in my decisions. Thanks again!
I saw Tech yes city's preview of the hs55/65/80 and man! The mic sound was so good it was almost unbelievable. But now that I saw the hs65's mic test from u too, I think maybe corsair actually did a great job tuning the mic sound to this level. I'm quite astonished and I absolutely love it, especially at the Msrp (which hopefully is similar or lower than in the usa, for other countries). Thank you 🙂
This may just well be my next headset. They look comfy and the microphone sounded great. If the 3.5mm cable was removable then this would be a instant purchase for me. Still $80 almost seems like a steal.
From all the microphones you have tested this is the only one that not even performs as good as your setup but also it exceeded it with excellent body volume to the voice 👍🏻‼️
Before you all run out and buy this headset, you should know that there’s a problem with it. When you raise the headset volume more than 50%, anyone in chat with you will here their own voice echo back. It happens because the headset uses cheap plastic around the mic. The mic picks up the sound coming out of the speakers. You won’t get this on headsets with different style mics like the H6PRO, PC38X and even the HyperX Cloud 2. It did it on PC and console in all the games I played. In order to make the headsets light they use this plastic that feels very hollow. Don’t believe me? Test it yourself.
Really? But hold on, is it happening because the mic is too sensitive and picks up the audio that goes out the headset, or ure refering to some "internal" problem, like the sound going into a place it shouldnt
Corsair’s HS lineup is so good. I’m still rocking with a pair of HS60 pros from almost 3 years ago that I got on Black Friday for like $35 and I still love them.
Finally new sticking headsets hitting the market huh? Can't wait for other brands to drop their products so you can review them and I'll buy one based on your call sir! Keep up the great work!
The only thing which stops me buying this headset is the reason im looking for another headset. After having a few beers i forgot the headset was round my neck, got up quick and yanked the lead. Two options; Stop drinking beer, or buy a headset with an attachable lead.
Appreciate the review. I’ve been searching for a replacement gaming headset for my Xbox and was on the fence with this one. Between your review and Amazon’s $50 price I just locked it in. Arrives tomorrow. Excited to try it out with some Apex and COD!
@@grappleronyt4662 so far for the price I like them. What drives me nuts about wired headsets is that I always inevitably seem to have issues where moving the 3.5mm connection creates an annoying grinding sound. But I’m sure that’s the controllers issue. These are clear, have good directional sound and all in all sound really nice. Well built and super comfortable. I’m glad I went with em.
@@kstutz81 thank you for letting me know. Also, how is the mic? I was wondering because I am worried about other comments saying it echos and picks up a lot of background noise. Is this true for you?
@@kstutz81 thank you so much. I am deciding to go with a pair of turtle beaches because I’ve used the same turtle beaches for the past 4 yrs and they good
My question is about competitive games.. The bass, the lowest steps are pretty okay? I mean can u listen when they are walking in a slow way? 😅. Example Hunt Showdown, when someone is crouching next to u is very possible to listen him but it will sound better with this headset?
I was debating on two headsets; The Corsair HS65 Wired headset, or the Official Xbox Wireless headset. I’m not necessarily looking for just convenience of the wireless, I can go without that. I’m mainly looking for the best sound that’s gonna help me play games like Apex, Siege, and Fortnite. I understand the Xbox headset has an EQ I can mess with but if the Corsair HS65 has better sound I’ll definitely go with that one considering it’s cheaper.
I just got these and regret it , friends can hear whatever i'm listening to while im in call with them, for example a youtube video, spotify or even the game we are playing, but i havent found anyone else having this problem so im not sure what I should do about it
I have found braided cables to keep their kinks just as much, and it's worth noting the wires on the HS lines supposedly have almost no brushing sound getting sent to your ears, which I find to be very important. It always sucks when you have headphones that when you move a little you just hear nothing but your cable brushing against everything
Debating between these and the razer kaira x. Problem is that a lot of headsets feel tight on me because I have a lot of hair. My favorite and the only comfortable one I've found is the Hyper x Cloud stinger 1 which I'm still using after 4 years because it has a wider headband. Great headset and I wanna try a new one but I'm hesitant I'll run into the same issue.
What is the best gaming headset you would recommend for fps games but also has a really good mic. I wanted to get this headset but the fact it doesn't have a removable 3.5mm jack is putting me off
Would you recommend these over alpha cloud or cloud II from hyperx or arctis 3 from steelseries I value mic quality abd sound quality over everything else
Hey there! Thanks for sharing the details about the Corsair gaming headsets, especially the HS65. It sounds like you had a great experience with them, especially in terms of comfort and sound quality. The sound ID feature with the USB dongle sounds pretty neat, allowing for a customized sound profile. I'm intrigued by the idea of the dongle fine-tuning the sound to match your preferences. I appreciate your honest feedback about the cable; it's always helpful to know the small details that could make a product even better. Overall, it seems like Corsair has delivered a solid headset, and your review gives a good insight into what potential buyers can expect. Looking forward to your future reviews on the other headsets! 👍🎧
Please i need your advice about these headphones... are they beter sounding than corsair hs 75 xb i manyl play just on consoles.. can you compare it to other 70 to 150 $ headset ???
hello guys,,,ihave this headset,,,but suddenly for some reason when i play a game and chating i can hear myself throug others headset,,,why is this happening?
I just bought this and when pressing on the right/left ear (Pressing it while wearing), the sound on that side of the speaker lessens or is quite muted. That's not a feature right? Because when I press on it again, sometimes, it returns to normal. sometimes.
Curious about what you would think about using these with the ifi zen stack? I picked up an adapter so i could run 3.5mm on my stack. Never used a " gaming headset " on the stack before.
I bought the Hs65 Thursday. It doesn’t work when I plug it into my PS5 controller. Any one else have this issue/how did you resolve it! Only time it works is if I plug it into the usb device when that is plugged into my system! Help!!
Bro, this Beat the Razer BlackShark V2 X, yeah the cheap versión that you say that are the best MIC Clear like water and nice sound, for low price? 50$
Hey question, whenever I plug in the headset to my controller on the ps5, there seems to an echo or a repeated audio whenever I talk. Is there a way to adjust this? Already tried all of the ps5 settings but nothing worked.
@@yeetbossking3503 oh yeah I was a bit unsure at first with the quality of the audio ( I mainly use mobile gaming) and the comfort of the headphone. But since I replace the ear cushions both the audio and the comfort I’m really please with them. The ear cushions make the headphone so much more comfortable and they seal the sound better it’s pleasant to use them. Also the quality is amazing of the product is amazing at its price point (184£). The Only issues I have are the sound quality for music ( I was expecting a bit better sound) and that you cant turn them off. But they’re made for gaming so I guess that’s not a turn off. Take this as a harsh critique but I’m really pleased with them. If you buy them buy at the same time the earchushions because you will need them. The pain is unbearable.
@@zacharybishop6595 ive been reading comments and other guy said that if your volume is too high in the headphones the mic might pick up the sound and that can cause echo, is that true? If so is there any way to lower its sensitivity then? Maybe a foam cover like the ones some mics wear could help? I was really trhilled for this headset but some comments are really discouraging me from buying them eveb tought they seems to be a no brainer by what was shown
From your experience, is the double price worth it over the HS60 Pro? I'm buying based on your reviews. Wondering whether to get the HS60 Pro or the HS65. Like sound quality and mic quality. Appreciate your sharing
I have the hs60 pros and I think that all though they’re really good for their price (and I got it on sale for 40 bucks) the mic on the hs 65 makes them a clear winner
@@Futurisu thanks, I have got the 65 and despite of lacking basic music tuning to the point I don't enjoy music with them at all. On the other hand, they are phenomenal in games. Everything precise and clear and the mic is superb. I mean in music they get annihilated by my cheap Tozo 12 earbuds
The microphone sounds amazing. Felt like I was listening to a podcast rather than the typical compressed sound from past headsets.
Wow the mic sounds so clear, crisp and natural.
it's quite surprising how good it sounds.
Corsair really changed the look of their HS headsets, and I like it a lot.
My only problem, and it's big, is the non removable mic.
Jim Carrey like it a lot too.
@@FcoEnriquePerez eh never had a problem with the mic can’t even see it when I’m gaming since I’m focused
@@sarsuje removable mics are so if it breaks you can buy a replacement mic, rather than a whole new headset.
As SOON as I heard the USB mic test, I opened a new tab and ordered a pair. Thanks for this video!
Did you get the echo when your volume was above 50%?
I’m so happy Corsair updated their design, They look so much better now.
Three straight days of Techne headset reviews? Christmas came early! Thanks for all of your hard work...and your neighbor's...on their lawn.
lol
This is the way
That mic sounds incredible, it took me a second to realize he switched to the headset mic from his studio mic
I got these and I am not regretting my choice. They are very comfortable and have amazing sound.
did they survive 2 years?
@ unfortunately no, 😹 I kinda abused it and then one day it broke, but if I didnt im sure it would have lasted much longer
do you use them on console? if so do they have an echo when talking in chat?
@ yes I used it on my ps5, it has a great mic and doesn’t echo

the hs55 are $60 and seem to have very similar mic sound quality. maybe those r better value.

this helped alot i just built a pc i needed a headset found this so i bought it after the vid bc the mic sounded amazing.

Again a really detailed review, i can easily say that your thoughts and words made me buy HS80 and im so happy with it,
Appreciate all your work.
Having any problems on discord ?
@@mishari4717 Not at all, extremely clear and nice mic
No issues with the mic being too quiet? I went through 3 returns before I gave up on mine because the mic volume was inaudible.

i didn’t really watch the video, i ws js lookin for comments & reviews BUT THNK YOU BEYOND BROTHER
is it just me or is the mic on this headset the best in any headset i have ever heard?.. and it is only $80... Honestly might pick this up.
corsair has been making some amazing new mics
Finally bought a pair of HS65s... apparently I have a "super-wide head".
Any recommendations for headphone reviews from someone not so tiny? lol
The only thing which stops me buying this headset is the reason im looking for another headset.

They took a page out of steel series design playbook with those hinges. Very nice design. Ok back to watching the video.
Which is better steel series arctis 5 or HS65
I'm confused now: should I get the Corsair HS65 or HyperX Cloud II?

So hyper x for Xbox?
hoping for a Redragon Icon H520 vs corsair hs65 comparison from you :)
I know the custom eq settings won't save on the ps5 but can I still use the USB dongle on my ps5?
