CORSAIR HS60 PRO SURROUND Gaming Headset Review

After going through the simple iCUE setup, we started listening to multiple podcasts, YouTube music clips, watched an action movie but also played quite a bit of Need for Speed 2015: thanks to the 50mm neodymium drivers, the sound quality is great, while the bass does not seem to distort even at higher volume levels. We really enjoyed how the engines were sounding in NFS and if you do enable the Bass Boost profile the immersion is even better. After wearing the headset for over one hour, we have seen the benefits of the increased comfort over the regular HS60, so this is not only marketing talk.

As we have seen with many high-end peripherals, the audio cable is braided for additional durability (HS60 did not feature a braided cable):

 

 

 

After connecting the Stereo cable to the supplied sound card, we did plug the assembly to the test computer and started the listening sessions:
