Corsair HS60 Pro Surround Honest Review After 3 Months
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 ноя 2021
- I had to buy a new headset because my last one broke. It was also a Corsair, but it lasted me 5+ years. I was excited to buy the HS60 Pro because it was a newer, more modern version of the one I had before.
After some time, I found some reasons to be disappointed in my purchase and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person facing issues with this particular gaming headset.

I reviewed a Corsair gaming mouse, too:

Dude this is so real!!! I've already had 2 of these, the first one had a problem with the adaptor which made the left side of the headphones die. And now in a 1 year span, the second one died aswell because of the adaptor AGAIN. I'm activating the warranty on my reseller and I'm getting some new headphones. It's a shame it ends up like this, these ones look amazing, had so much potential.
Mine just became unusable today, after 2 years and 3 months. Audiowise it is still marvelous, but the left hinge support just broke up and it is sticking INSIDE and poking my temple. It was fractured for some while, but today it just gave up. And also it is all sticky (due to the rubber surfase "desintegration") and peeling off (due to the fake leather wearing out). I had already replaced the cups early this year, because besides the usual peeling of the fake leather, they "unglued" and fell appart from the attachment. I have replaced with a new set made of fabric, instead of fake leather. I think two years as a really SHORT duration. My previous one, a Logich G-200whatever lasted WAY LONGER than 6 years before I gave up using it
Did you install the icue software? Is needed to get most of the headphones
Yeah I have two Corsair keyboards and a mouse so I definitely use icue
is it good for console tho?
Your point on the Adapter is spot on. It just died on me, the sound would always cut out and the mic would always die too.
Oh man I'm sorry to hear that... Welcome to the un-plug and plug back in gang 😁
Thanks for sharing. I have problem with the Adapter too. I think is broke. I cannot even adjust the sound settings on the computer itself (its stays and stuck at 0 level) while the adapter is inserted. No sound, no mic. If I use the jack to the sound hole without the adapter, the headphone is normal; but no mic. At least I am not the only one with this problem. So my HS60 is scrap other than headphone use only.
My Adapter seem broke. I can't hear, the volume control on the computer stuck at 0 level and won't let you adjust. The mic don't work either. Even with tinkering with settings, HS60 is a scrap. The only thing that does work is if I don't use the usb adapter and just plug the jack into the audio slot; but you can't use the mic.
Yikes….sorry to hear they’re stopped working :(
My adaptor stopped working correctly. I hear weird noises and I can't game with the headsets because I usually play multiplayer games and I need to talk to my buddies.
I’m sorry to hear :(
same with me,adaptor problem
Thanks for the review, looks like this came at the perfect time. Almost bought this due to black friday sale. Went with Razer Blackshark V2 X instead!
Thanks for the comment! I’m glad the review helped you out. I might check that one out myself
Yeah i prefer razer, ive had my kraken x for over than a year now its still solid i use it 12 hours a day everything works fine it just depends how you take care of it
@@misconduct6845 I completely agree. Had an OG razer kraken for 5 years, it was still really solid condition and I gave it to my parents. They did not take care of it well and earrings ripped the cuffs within 6 months lol
after 6 months of usage, I confirm all the mentionned issues, the biggest is that mic volume is so low!
I’ve had complaints of the low mic volume, too. It’s like 10% of the time for me though
I’ve had this headset for almost a year now and i never experienced these issues, well because i don’t use the mic. I use it as a headphone only and for that purpose it work very well. The only problem i’ve had is that the right earcup is literally falling apart. Thats the only issue i’ve had
Is it the leather that falling apart?
thanks man, honestly a super helpful review
I’m happy to hear you found it useful, oFlqw!
I don't know why , but while listening to songs , the volume lowered when the bass started
You can get a split cable, which will allow you to connect mic and audio ports separately
Really? My USB Adapter I think is broke. I will see if they sell those in Best Buy than scrapping my 50 dollar headphone entirely.
Shouldn’t have to buy extra hardware imo
i have the same headset if was great when i got it but the right side is not working anymore now and the headset is so quiet cant hear good enough
Yup same. I went to use it as a regular set of headphones and have the exact same issues you’re describing
Thanks ! I saw a discount on Amazon the price is 50$ so sound good I love corsair too but now I will find another one because I need mic like you in gunfight :D
You are so underated. You deserve more subs.
How have I not seen this comment? 11 Months holy crap. I usually always reply. My bad dude. Thank you so much your comment made my day
does anybody know how to re-install the drivers manually? Idk if I'm the only one but this headset causes my friends to hear themselves through it idk why.... but I'm assuming cause i'm just connecting the jack... I didn't have this issues before when I was using the usb, but usb just stop working for no reason :/
Are you still using this ? I got mine yesterday
I stopped using mine:(
@@Swashed_ Will it be less tight to your head if you use it for months?
My HS60 has a lot of these problems. Sometimes i am playing a game and the sound just goes away and i can't hear anything. And sometimes everything is connected well and they don't work. I still have the receipt and i might just return it. What headset would you suggest buying?
Is that hs60 or hs60pro ?
@@xahilxceptional227 Pro
I’m still using it but I dropped a link for a headset someone here recommended
keep up the good work!!!
Thanks!
what to buy then ?
I asked my group of friends what to recommend to you. One of them said he's been using the Logitech G933. Have a look for yourself and tell me what you think -> amzn.to/3LML4lg
*This is what he told me:*
Lasted me 5 years and I can listen to 2 different sources of audio at the same time. Which is great if you wanna stream and wanna listen to music without everybody else hearing it.
@@Swashed_ i gonna get the hs80 wired. Very good sound i hear on every review if they speak in to it and then 3 others. Sounds very good
Love Corsair but their quality assurance suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks!
The problem is they, like 99% of other companies, get their stuff produced in China where quality standards are super difficult to maintain.
Yeah man I think you just gotta hold onto your receipts and make sure you didn’t get a dud :/ The quality assurance thing is spot on
If people are having trouble with this you can get an adapter for mic and audio from Amazon for $7
The red and green wire one ? Splitter right ?
The main issue with this headset was, that the earpad part just ripped open, like the glue part was just horrible. After i ordered a replacement, it came in 1.5 times smaller. It really hurt the back of my ear because i wear glasses. I dont recomend it, unless someone knows a way to fix the problem.
Just bought a new
is it good with ps4?
Check out this video for headphones that would work with ps4:
ruclips.net/video/1Yk8rOizO4U/видео.html
I use on ps4 and pc, it's good.
My friend has this exact headset and when I play games with him he is always having issues. Sometimes he cuts out mid talking and I have to fill in the blanks. He even sounds like you!
Yeah this is exactly what I’m going through! That’s so funny because your profile picture looks just like my friend
Bro must be your, I have this headsets for a longe time and that never happen to me.
I hope that’s the case honestly. Im glad yours is working though and I’m still using mine even with the spotty issues
sadly I'm having the same connectivity issues just like you did. I wish I saw your review before I bought this disappointing headset on a black friday deal on Amazon. And just like you experienced I was losing audio and mic in the middle of the game due to the dongle and it troubled me in business meetings too.
Sorry to hear that man. I’ve completely stopped using it now :( it’s just sitting in my drawer. I’ve gotta find a new gaming headset to buy and use
@@Swashed_ I'll try to get it repaired or replaced by Corsair Support as it's still in warranty but I'd rather have a refund as it's already the second time I've sent it in for repairs. The first one was even worse and had at least one disconnect almost every single hour of using it.
My next headset will be one from a manufacturer in my country. (Beyerdynamic) They make really good acoustic headsets specialized for music and audio editing but their price tag is rather hefty. I'll go with a seperate table mic. Also you should use stereo only for gaming. I made ahuge mistake and got myself baited by that 7.1. Surround feature but Stereo is way better for gaming and surround sound can bei emulated by binaural recordings or software which achieves the same by virtually manipulating sound to be binaural. (Dolby Atmos e.g.)
That recommendation came from my cousin , he finished his MBA in composition of eletronical music and is an complete audiophile. So ist nicht be a bit overkill but I'm at that point I'd rather have a headset which ist too good for my needs than vice-versa.
Damn, I bought these because I thought they were the non-pro model. In fact, I didn't actually know that there were two models. I've only used it for a little bit, but after reading many reddit posts and after watching your video, I'm probably gonna return these if the store I bought it from is okay. I was gonna buy the HS50s, but since they were out of stock, I decided to buy the HS60s (which I thought was the non-pro model) instead. Btw, I honestly enjoyed your simple review because I got somewhat of a laugh out of it: the way you were simulating a game of Fortnite with friends, that was hilarious. Lesson: Never let excitement get the best of you.
Lmao thanks for leaving this comment. It really brightened my day. I hope you got the headset you wanted
I just got these headphones a week ago, I tried them on at Best Buy and they felt great. I got them for long car rides because it had the detachable mic and I’m a gamer as well. I have an iPhone 13 so it uses the charger to jack and it cuts out a lot. Haven’t tried them on my pc yet tho hopefully they don’t suck. Wish me luck
How have they been?
@@Swashed_ they’ve worked pretty good but they’ve only turned off on me once
@@brodysee9120 nice i think you got one of the good ones
Most honest man thx .
For sure no problem
my experience adapter no longer works and that was the best part, mic is low and the headset is falling apart 4/10 not worth it
I’ve officially tossed the into a drawer. I can’t even use them as headphones anymore :(
Just use splitter to resolve problem with microphone.
Is mic good of this headphone ?
Well, I'm experiencing the other side. You lose the mic randomly and I lose the audio output. How frustrating is that!!!! I regret buying this... Corsair sucks!!!!
They make great keyboards 😅
@@Swashed_ Nowadays, Custom keyboards are far better than their own. So whatever they are I never go for corsair again!!!!
So i had this problem too with my previous headsets but it may be different for my set up but if i just have notifications on and it says do you want this certain thing as your audio output/input and its the headset then the mic works had that problem for the longest time but ever since i got my new setup its perfecto
I think that’s what the adapter is for. I don’t think it should be asking for mic or headphone option
ur issue sounds like a windows or bios issue
man I wish because then it would be an easy fix
@@Swashed_ do u still have these ? maybe it's just your pair
yeah i still have them but i'm not using them
maybe use a headphone splitter cable so instead of 1 aux you have 2. 1 for the headphone and 1 for the mic.
This would work better than the adapter. Kind of lame to have to buy extra hardware tho
love u
i have the headset for almost 1 year and for my experience they are BAD. i got even bigger issues with the headset, one of the earpad almost falling and the sound issues are the worst not only the mic disconnected but the whole sound cut off and like you said you need to reconnect the USB dongle but for me i dont reinstall the software bc it working after reconnect. right now im using the headset but i removed the USB dongle and put splitter sound cable but with the sacrifice of full potential of the headset. 🦊
I have the same unplug plug problem and it was so annoying but now i have the ultimate issue my headset is now not reconised by corsair and is now reconised as CONEXANT USB AUDIO and the sound is now crap and the mic doesn't work at all I'm so frustrated because me too was a big fan of the brand all my things are from there but at least i'm glad people have the same problem and we are all together haha
That’s bizarre that it won’t recognize it.. Do you have the icue software for Corsair stuff?
@@Swashed_ yep i've looked at the corsair forum and a lot of people had the same problem it sucks
well mine came with a split adaptor one for mic and one for headphones so i never had this issue
Is mic good ?
And split adapter is the one which has red and green wire ?
Yes the mic operates perfectly, and about the cable if you give me any of your social accounts i could send you a picture of it
@@ahmedhazem116 mic Quality is good right that's what you mean ?
Also I'm really confused if I should go for Corsair artics 5 or HS60 pro I can't make decision am really confused.
I don’t think artica 5 worth the $100, hs60 does the job especially with the dolby surround 7.1 it really makes a difference… and if you get the st100 stand with it… it would be a catch because it improves both mic and sound quality and it also looks beautiful with the rgb lights…and you could plug directly to the stand without using a split cable
exactly same things happened to me with this headphone
Sorry to hear man. It’s a pain sometimes
The fact that the MIC dies for you is because of your configuration dummy! the MIC never stopped for me, so please stop defaming Crosair. THE SOUND OF THESE IS AMAZING
Hey listen to me, buddy! Corsair is awesome but these headphones have not been reliable and I’m not the only one. They do sound amazing but the adapter is doodoo
I have the same headphones, they are really uncomfortable and have bad sound.
I always experience popping and buzzing noises even though the headphones are plugged all the way in.
The mic sometimes literally makes buzzing noises and cuts out my talking completely, it really sucks.
I take complete care of these headphones yet they still are complete total and udder garbage.
I will NEVER ever buy another gaming headset ever again, Every single gaming headset I've ever bought broke within a couple months due to terrible build quality and sound.
Sorry man that totally sucks :(
@@Swashed_ I still have them though :(
I disagree, I bought this headset in 2022, I am positively impressed by the Surround 7.1 adapter. The microphone and sound work both very good, but I am impressed by the sensitivity of the sound, It has very good sound.
Does the mic capture the audio of the headset like sound leaks?
It does not
@@sengumii3094 no, I use it on discord and steam also while listening to music the mic did not pick the headset sound, no connection issues, straightforward connection and the sound output is more on low frequencies, means steps, explosions etc are better heard in game. The mic is attachable, means you can disconnect it or even use another mic with the headset.
@@fdgmedd I am planning on buying it is the sound and mic good?
@@sl8epy_976 yes they very good in my opinion. have you bought them? are you satisfied ? please leave a comment so that the owner of this channel can stop defaming good headsets, just because he doesn't know how to use WINDOWS.
It's a horrible headphone
Shots fired 🔫🔫
