The Corsair HS70 is a gaming headset with sound suitable for critical listening; the HS70 is a wireless version of the HS60 and both headsets are very similar. They have good build quality and nice padding on the earcups and headband. The detachable boom microphone is adequate and the sound of the headset can be customised using Corsair iCUE software. Unfortunately, the HS70 wireless headset cannot be used passively with an audio cable, but the 15-hour battery life should last more than a day of regular gaming. A dongle can be used to minimise latency, but the lack of passive playback makes it a little more limited when used in mixed situations.
Suitable for wireless gaming The Corsair HS70 is a wireless version of the HS60 and offers great sound and minimal latency issues thanks to the USB dongle; the microphone on the HS70 is decent and online players will have no problem understanding you. The battery can also withstand long gaming sessions and can be used while charging. It also supports iCUE software, which allows you to adjust the sound quality to your liking and enable or disable surround sound.
Corsair has done a great job on the design front with the HS70 Pro Wireless. Apart from the white stitching found on the headband, the entire headset is black. I really like this as it makes the headset look very plain and simple. There is no fancy RGB. In fact, there are no lights at all. Considering that most gaming headsets nowadays usually have some kind of lighting, this is a really respectable decision.
As for the construction characteristics of the HS70 Pro Wireless, the headset is made of sleek black metal and paired with what looks like gorgeous memory foam ear cups.The HS70 Pro Wireless is not the lightest headset I’ve ever used, but it is the most comfortable headset, it is definitely one of the most comfortable. The weight doesn’t bother me as much after a while with the headset on, but any weight that bothers me is covered up by the initial comfort.
The HS70 gaming headset was very comfortable and remained so for the duration of one or two gaming sessions. What is a little strange is that it feels much more comfortable than the more expensive Corsair Virtuoso SE headset, which is a premium model of incredible quality. Comfort is basic, but just as effective as the HyperX Cloud II.
The tightness is sufficient and will not fall off most head types, but it is not so tight that it makes your ears hot or uncomfortable. The pressure was just right for me, creating a reasonable seal and increasing my overall immersion in the game; the fit wasn’t as good as the Corsair Virtuoso SE pair, but it wasn’t so loose that it slipped off my head with any movement.
