When we first started our journey of being computer nerds speakers were internal things that beeped. Then Soundblaster came along and we all converted to stereo speakers, something which seemed incredible at the time.

Low cost headsets are often end up compromising on either comfort, audio quality or its construction. With that in mind, it makes sense that Corsair set their engineers to task to deliver a low-cost no-compromise gaming headset; enter the HS50.

The moment I start looking for a headset, I usually bypass anything less than $100, because the typical pricepoint that equates a high level of performance with an outstanding in-game experience is at least $100. At least. That doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

Corsair's latest HS50 headphones are a steal at $50. The size, build quality and audio quality are outstanding for today's gamer. Don't get left behind, missing either the in-game commentary or the multiplayer conversations.
