CORSAIR HS60 SURROUND Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2018-03-22

We have tried the HS60 right away in The Crew, Need for Speed: Payback, Guild Wars 2, Wolfenstein and Diablo III: thanks to the large drivers, the low frequencies were well represented (but not over the top as on some other gaming headset) and the voices were crystal clear which concluded in a very good overall experience.

Besides the Quick Start Guide, we did also receive a Warranty Guide and an Environment Protection leaflet:

The manual is quite straightforward, describing the product components and the installation procedure, in multiple languages:

Compared to the HS50, we will receive an extra bundle component, which is the USB sound card:

The included sound card can be used with any other stereo headset on analog (via a splitter cable) and is able to output virtual 7.1 surround sound on PC:
