Corsair HS60 Haptic Headset

Corsair has an extensive offer that consists of a variety of PC components and peripherals. Headsets are also covered, starting with the more budget-oriented HS range, running upwards to the very high-end Void series. In this review, we’re checking out the all-new Corsair HS60 Haptic. It was announced on the 15th of October, and it’s another revision of the HS60 model, which we already reviewed here before (both the regular and Pro versions). Raffaele did the first review, and the second by Hilbert, so the third time is the charm – and it’s me, haha. There aren’t any surprises when you look at this new model. Well, it looks only slightly different due to the camo design. This is not a wireless headset, so you’ll need to plug in the USB cable.

Inside the HS60 Haptic, 50 mm custom-tuned neodymium audio drivers are light and durable. The memory foam earpads should make the product more comfortable to use. The mic has a noise-canceling feature and is unidirectional. The frequency range is between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz. The HS60 HAPTIC headset combines the performance, quality, and features that gamers demand. If you use the HS60 on a PC, CORSAIR’s exclusive iCUE software provides additional audio EQ control, sound field pre-sets, and sidetone adjustment. The Windows Sonic surround system should expand the experience as well because it enables 360° audio. There’s also on-ear volume and haptic feedback controls to adjust these settings to your needs. The biggest selling point here is probably the Taction Technology, which is supposed to deliver deep haptic bass (as the product's name suggests).

The HS60 HAPTIC is up to ten times more powerful than other haptic headsets thanks to Taction technology, and it reproduces all the bass sounds the game designers intended you to perceive, with the intensity they wanted you to perceive it at. Taction Transporters use a different — and faster — neural pathway to your brain. The result? According to Corsair, this brings a 20% improvement in response time. This headset is priced at 129.99 USD/129.99 EUR and should be comfortable to wear and provide a pleasant audio experience. The product will carry a 2-year warranty. Well, let’s hit the next page.

Corsair HS65 Wireless Headset review
Headsets are one of the types of peripherals that Corsair offers (there are also PC components, but that’s not a story for this review). It ranges from budget-oriented HS series (the reviewed one is one of them), then there’s the mid-range Void series, and it ends with high-end Virtuoso. The HS series starts with HS35, and till now, it also contained HS45, HS50, HS55, HS60, HS65, HS70, HS75, and HS80 (some of them had different, wireless variants). We’re checking out the all-new Corsair HS65 Wireless in this review (today is the debut).

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 CL36 review
In July, Corsair presented a new series of DDR5 memories: the Vengeance RGB DDR5. The available kits from the RGB edition have a frequency higher than the base 4800 MHz (5200-6600 MHz); the non-RGB version starts from 4800 MHz. We are checking the Corsair Vengeance RGB 6000 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit today. It's in the middle frequency in the series. We already had an opportunity (almost three years ago) to review the Vengeance (Pro) RGB series RAM, but it was for the DDR4; the frequency was 3200 MHz, and it received a "Top Pick" award, and also the Vengeance RGB Pro SL which had 3600 MHz frequency (with CL18) and got the "Approved" award. But let's focus back on the tested DDR5 kit.

Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse review
In this article, we review the Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse. It’s an optical gaming mouse that was launched today, on 26.10.2022. The Katar model is a new version of the Katar Pro Wireless that was introduced on October 2020. The Katar Elite Wireless is targeted at gamers, but it should also work more than fine as a regular mouse. This time, the optical sensor is not the 10K DPI PMW3325 but a 26K DPI Corsair Marksman. It has 1 DPI resolutions steps, 650 IPS tracking, and up to 50G acceleration.
