Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The range, fullness and noise level are all very good. Everything sounds crisp and better than the cloud alpha pros.

These are the most comfortable headset i have owned. My sisters borrows my headphones when she is playing her game. I have a logi540 headset also and my ears were hurting! They're not $200 headphones by any means, but they are a good deal for the pric...  Read More

The fps competition preset sounds good for any application. The other default presets are all either too tinny, or incredibly bass heavy. Great for wargames and fps, and passable for comms.

Comfort is excellent for large ears as the cones surround the ear completely. Grip has loosened as time goes on, though.



Cons

The sound quality is adequate at best, and the microphone is incredibly quiet, to the point of being unusable. The mic is ok at best but what really makes it not worth the buy is the fact that it only lasted 6 months of normal use. It has no noise can...  Read More

I have to keep those tightly wrapped in tape and replace it about once a month as it stretches over time. Made no difference.

It has this static ringing if it is plugged into the usb adapter it comes with. Staticky sounds, regardless of how secure the connection is. Max volume is also very low.

As far as sound quality, the highs aren’t that great and suffer from minor sound distortion.

Price


If the price were a little lower or this went on sale, i think this could be an excellent purchase.


Highly recommend over anything even 2-3x it's price.

Packaging/appearance


The ear pads feel like a high end leather but i couldn’t find any material info on the packaging.


I went through the icue process system many times and never managed to get the headset to sound right.


The packaging is nice, although a bit annoying to get the headset out.


So far we’ve only tested out the ps5.

Competitiveness


Sound was much better than several no-name headsets i've tried.


I really enjoy this headset, but for $80, i think the price-to-performance isn’t on par with some of its competitors.


I use a spudger to tuck it back in but that only lasts a few months.


Instead, you get the locked features that require corsair’s icue software to unlock dolby 7.

    This means when watching a movie with action a loud noise from a gunshot or sudden action occurs at almost the same moment you see it

    The 1st one we got was defective

    It would not be good if your head is really large though


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Even on the pure direct equalizer setting there is a bit too much bass


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    As for the icue system that supposedly sets up the headphones sound for you in an interactive way forget it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I went through the icue process system many times and never managed to get the headset to sound right


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In fact most of the time it sounded downright awful


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Perhaps others will have better luck but i feel for the majority of people it is best to just leave it off and create equalizer profiles for music gaming movies and so on
