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.

Just nearby, we do have the Microphone mute button:

 

 

 

The microphone port is initially covered by a fully-removable rubber cover:
