Corsair is no stranger to the gaming headset market. Its VOID line of gaming headsets blends futuristic design with superb audio quality and exceptional comfort. In fact, the VOID Pro RGB is widely considered by many gamers as one of the best headsets.

With a street price around $50, Corsair's HS50 is naturally an interesting contender. We're certainly not expecting any miracles from such a value-oriented headset. However, we're curious to see if the HS50 can beat higher-end models that put more emphasis on flashy looks.

Attractive price point; Sharp; understated design; Intuitive volume/mute controls; Good sound (after equalizer optimizations

Not ideal for large heads; Exaggerated lows and highs by default

The HS50 is the newest analogue gaming headset from Corsair. Priced under £60, this rather simplistic pair of cans offers great audio playback, decent build quality and a comfortable design.

Great value for money; Excellent sound quality; Strong and sturdy build; Very comfortable

Non-removable earcups; Requires a good DAC

Need a versatile gaming headset but don't want to splurge for pricey perks? The stellar Corsair HS50 impresses throughout.

Strong stereo sound; Comfortable and sturdy; Excellent value

Lacks surround sound; Mic could be easily misplaced

Corsair HS50 gaming headset is a piece of hardware that gamers would like to own, but cannot say the same about music lovers.

These headphones are amazing. They came way earlier than I expected. But the only gripe I have is the cable. I have to bend the audio jack to get it to work properly. The audio jack was messed up but other than that the headphones are great.

Severely unhappy with this product, I bought them due to Corsair being a highly reputable company and expected to receive a product with "Premium Build Quality". However after only a month of use one of the left earphones screws have come out, where the plastic inside has crumbled away.

The Corsair HS50 headset is comfortable, with excellent sound quality and a decent mic phone for online games. The mic is clear and even on maximum volume the padding in the earmuffs is enough so any sound from your headphones isnu2019t transmitted into the mic phone (a blessing for your teammates).

I bought these for my sons birthday and they stopped working after 5 weeks.

I keep accidentally turning on the microphone on my other headphones and needed a pair that either did not have a mic, or had the button somewhere my jacket, accidental brushing etc wouldn't turn on the annoying Google assistant accidentally repeatedly (mad annoying when you're at the gym -_-).
