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.

After testing the microphone in Skype conferences, we are happy with its overall quality and thanks to its analog jack interface we can plug it separately to other devices as well.

The HS60 PRO SURROUND headset is priced competitively at about 63 Euros.

Pros:

-increased comfort due to thicker memory foam padding

-large 50mm neodymium drivers that are ideal for rendering low frequencies without distortion

-removable microphone

-included sound card with combo analog jack that can be used with other devices as well

-compatibility with iCUE for modifying EQ settings and switching between 7.1 and Stereo modes

-compatibility with a large range of sound sources, given its analog/USB interfaces

Cons:

-none
