    i have an older version of these and feel this review covers most of what i've experienced with mine. 100% agree that the mic makes me sound a bit nasal-y. they don't breathe that well, so i tend to intermittently slide one ear cup off at a time. as a glasses wearer as well, no issues with the clamping force, very comfortable. mine came with the splitter that turns the 4-pole plug into 2 3-pole plugs for PCs with individual headphone/mic jacks; when i plug the 4-pole plug into my laptop, i don't get any mic response either.

    I have the plain Corsair HS60 version of these and I've had them for over a year now. They sound pretty decent but the mic is really poor, I suggest to purchase a better mic off Amazon as there are better quality ones that pickup sound so much better and sounds more natural. They sound better than the cheap$20-40 "Gaming Headsets" off Amazon that I have had in the past. I really wish they cable was detachable as my kids have managed to pinch it one or twice and now it crackles sometimes. Meaning I can't replace the cable with a different one. I still suggest to buy them and you won't be disappointed. If you want better quality then move away from "Gaming Headsets" and move onto audiophile headphones if you want better, richer sounds, but those usually have no mic.

    @reallygoodperson9487 3 года назад

    So, I had three questions regarding my corsair hs60 pro headsets, first is, that the mic in the headset, though being said to be noise cancelling, but still they catch a lot of outside noise, i was playing with my friend, and he could literally hear a lot of things people around me were saying, so can i somehow change any settings or anything to make the mic be more noise cancelling, and what settings should i change and how should i do it, otherwise the mic sounds perfectly well and crystal clear, My second question is that, Should i enable windows sonic for headsets, is it any useful, what benefit does it have, and what is it for, third question is, that how do i properly use 7.1 surround sound, should i use the windows in built settings or should i use the iCUE software, Actually i tried the software but the problem is that the software uses a lot of cpu, and i dont assume that without keeping the software run in background would enable 7.1 surround sound, and as it uses a lot of cpu, i didnt use it much, is there any way to reduce the cpu usage of icue software, Thank You.

    Have you noticed this massive design flaw in the headset where the speaker audio will get picked up by the microphone as background noise? This is only avoidable if you lower your speaker audio or mic audio which makes the headset far more tedious and annoying to use (if not outright limiting). I’m surprised you haven’t noticed or commented on it and I suggest you warn potential buyers of the headset

    I'm guessing you don't "need" to use the USB Adapter if your Sound Card already supports 7.1 surround sound? 🤔

    Why can't we use the mic without using the USB?

    I’ve been told by people that all you need to do is just turn the mic up but they said it’s crystal clear
