Corsair HS60 Pro Review

A solid upgrade that doesn’t fit me as well

When I first saw the “Pro” update of Corsair’s HS headset lineup in the store…I thought it was just a new box design.

Upon closer inspection of this full refresh, Corsair improved the materials, tweaked the sound, and enhanced the microphone, all without raising the price.

These changes make a great headset a little bit better, with only one drawback that had me missing the old models.

OVERVIEW

The Corsair HS60 Pro is a closed-back, wired, surround sound gaming headset. It retails for $69 and frequently goes on sale. Surround sound is PC-only, using a USB dongle, and the headset is compatible with any device using a 3.5mm connection. Find its official product page right here.

If you don’t need a USB sound card, you could opt for the cheaper $49 HS50 Pro. If you’d like to go wireless, check out the $99 HS70 Pro. Just like the older versions, all three share the same performance and offer a few different colorways.

I bought my HS60 Pro at Best Buy. Here’s my review policy.

SOUND PERFORMANCE

The sound was one of the best things about the original HS series, and the Pro lineup improves it a little.
