Really appreciate it man. So I found that singing helps us test the mics a lot more because it covers a bigger range of frequencies from a human voice. =)
To me if the headphone executes binaural beats well. The illusion of binaural makes the sound more fully bodied, palpable and good isolation of multiple tracks that's rendering under surround sound drivers for directional hearing
I got the HS65 and I am returning them because of the bass problem you mentioned. I play War Thunder, a game with tanks & planes & ships, so lots of explosions, and with these headsets, if I didn't use the flat EQ, the explosion sounds would almost drown out the other sounds, but the problem is the flat EQ is not the best for music, that is a deal breaker for me. Do you have any suggestion for another headset? I actually don't really need a mic, I much rather have good sounding headphones.
IMO, to save some money, just use a different EQ for gaming and when listening to music. Gaming headphones are never going to be the best at everything. But if they have a good microphone like the HS65, I still find them very very useable, utility wise. Perhaps you could get a pair of normal headphones like the HiFiMan Sundara that I reviewed recently and put on the Antlion Modmic. But that combo is going to set you back at least 5 times the cost of the HS65.
@@MOBHouse I ended up getting the Epos/Sennheiser GSP 302 for 5 dollars less. They're still gaming headphones but they're made by an audio brand, not a gaming one, so they're better
So I just got the HS55 interestingly, I've seen other reviews of it that have the audio quality being much better than this video and another video. I'll have to test it myself, but I'm wondering if there's some driver issues with the HS55 that get ironed out with iCue being updated. Weirdly, my HS55 came with a USB dongle to adjust things in iCue. Great video though!
I am checking different headphones for mic quality and there can be an issue with your hs55 test case. I watched many different reviews and in all of them hs55 was very successful. There was also a comparative test between hs55 and 65, they were very close. I was suspecting if they are same about mic quality, but your video made it clear that they use different things in that part.
I'm 100% certain that the microphones are different. If you listen to Hardware Canuck's comparison carefully, you'll spot the difference also. I decided to use singing as a way to compare because that would cover a much broader frequency range than speaking for the particular purpose of highlighting any nuances and differences between microphones.
@@MOBHouse Here they sound close ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-56fGabpITu8.html I checked hardwarecanuck's comparison, it was informative thanks but the reality hits back, it seems I will go for a cheaper solution for now.
Firstly, he did not have all the mics level matched that's why some sound louder than others. Honestly, if you're going for the HS55, perhaps consider the Surround version. There's a chance that they have either improved the mic or the USB adapter really makes a difference. I don't know. Since I never tested the Surround version for the HS55.
my experience with the hs55 hasnt been very good, firstly the ear cup things (idk what they are called) fell off and then the triangle plastic bits under the adjustable part of the headband broke on the left ear so the whole left part of the headset was hanging off by a wire
They are slowly upgrading the durability but I hear you. IMO, to make it more durable, they'd need to put in metal parts or thicker plastic which would make it more bulky and heavy, not to mention more expensive. So it's a delicate balance.
Hi, I ave 65 wireless I can hear the sound when I swich on and turn off, but I can not hear the sound of the game. I am using PS5. Any idea? Thanks in advance.
i got the HS55 surround headphones recently but i dont know how to use the mic, to make it more clear im trying to use it on pc but the mic for some reason wont work.
Hey I'm leaning towards getting the hs65 but I was just wondering if the clamping force and pressure noticeable on your glasses because I'm also someone that wears glasses and don't wanna get force On them like I have with some other headsets so I was wondering if the pressure is okay or not
Honestly, I've only tried the Blackshark V2 out briefly but I can say that these 2 pairs of headsets are quite comparable. But i think the build quality on the HS65 is slightly better,
@@MOBHouse I want to buy a new headset for up to €50. I think Corsair makes the best microphones and the HS80 is the best headset on the market. but the Sgh50 is supposed to be quite good too, or can you recommend another one for up to €50?
i bought the hs 55 and the mic is suprisingly bad, but if you get the usb surround its magically 1000% better, so. buy a adapter if u dont wanna buy the 80 dollar one
Most motherboards on desktops and laptops have surprisingly poor mic-preamps with their 3.5mm jacks. Your mic sounding better with a USB sound card is actually evidence of that.
Unfortunately, that seems to be one aspect that needs to be improved. While trying to keep the audio quality somewhat consistent across the lineup, they have overlooked the durability department especially when it comes to the yoke.
In Thailand right now corsair hs65 Surround and surround wireless is not available to buy, even trial products are not available yet. The product is probably out of stock in every store. There are only corsair hs55 series, hs80 series. So I bought HyperX Cloud3 instead. Already The sound is fine for me. It's comfortable to wear, but I think that if I change the earcups from leather to cloth, I'll be able to wear them longer. Now I've ordered a SoundBlaster X3. I think if I get the X3 it will sound better. As for the microphone, I think the C3's microphone sound is very good.And your video is so good it makes me want to try it on and go out and buy a Corsair Hs65 hahaha.
