Product Description
The circumaural closed-back design offers the long-term playing comfort and immersive multi-channel audio that you demand as a gamer with a unidirectional noise-cancelling microphone that lets you be heard loud and clear and audio controls that are easy to use without taking your head out of the game. And because you can\'t design a great gaming headset without first building a superior pair of headphones the HS1 uses massive 50mm drivers and carefully tuned acoustical design for pristine reproduction and no-compromises enjoyment of your favorite music and multi-channel movies. The rugged compact design with replaceable earpads complete the HS1\'s mission of not only being an audio weapon of choice for intense gaming sessions but a well-loved piece of enthusiast gear that will meet all your audio needs. Massive 50mm drivers greatly reduce the overloading that can occur with 40mm headsets. They deliver more accurate sound reproduction particularly for low-frequency effects. And they\'re less likely to cause the distortion that can make it hard to discern voices and other important audio cues when everything is coming at you fast. In short you\'ll hear more audio more cleanly giving you a competitive advantage.

I've had this headset for about 3 or 2 months now and they're just fantastic! They deliver very good sound quailty which is great for a USB headset which uses built in drivers and not your sound card which just makes this headset even better for laptops as there sound cards are bad.
I've used this headset on mostly Team Fortress 2 and my experience playing has just increased so much since I replaced my old 2.1 stereo headeset with this Corsair 7.1 headset. I can now pin point where an enemy is and tell where abouts my team mates are from behind, just amazing. They're even better if you play any of the Left 4 Dead games, you can tell where all the zombies are coming from and hear a witch from a mile away then easily spot her.
The music quailty is good but you might need to go into and mess around with the equalizer to get all the bass out of headset which is what I presume people like out of their songs. I wouldn't get this Headset if you mainly chat and listen to music, get the HS1a which uses the sound card (that is if you have a really good sound card or one better than the one built into your motherboard).
The microphone is really good, it's supposed to block sound from the other side of the mic but so far that doesn't seem to work, not sure what's happening there with it but otherwise, I've had no problems with talking to people through skype or Steam, none at all. So it's great for talking via voice chat online.
Build quality wise, don't listen to people who say this headset breaks after a week or something like that, because it doesn't. Like I said, I've had this Headset for about 3 months and the headset is as perfect as it was out the box, the only difference is that it's a bit more loose around the head but it happens. It actually feels better around the ears than when I first got the headset. I would be pretty confident with dropping this headset and picking it up with no problems with it, heck one time I punched my mic and it still works 100%.
So yeah overally perfect headset, it was definitely built for gaming, the sound is just perfect, surround works a treat and it's great for talking to your mates online, but if you have a great sound card and really love your music then go for the Corsair HS1A which uses your sound card instead of built-in USB drivers, and is about £20 cheaper.

I have been using these headphones for a while now. I was a bit unsure of them being USB but I have to say I'm very impressed with the quality. Corsair always have solid build quality. The headphones have been excellent for games, music and movies.
Highly recommended.

Poor build quality for the price
Ok, so from reading the title you know I dont like them. Here's the good news: the sound quality is very good IF you use the supplied software to enable 3D spatial surround etc. Read more
