Gaming experience and MIC

For testing the headset let's simply talk through a handful of games:

PUBG

Our test could not miss one of the hottest titles of recent years. In many situations, this popular battle royale game requires not only patience but also capturing audio details that can reveal e.g. if another player is in the same building as you. So, the spatial aspect of the sound is important, making it easier to determine the direction from which the opponent is coming and even how far away they are. The test consisted of playing a single match in solo mode. The Corsair HS60 HAPTIC works really, really well in PUBG.

Battlefield 1

Here, the sound becomes just an addition for us, which is partly due to the fact that we could not even feel the headphones on our heads because of their lightness. The advantage of this is that you can focus on the game better. Everything seems to be correct. The headset does a great job of presenting environment detail, and the bass response is great thanks to the Haptic technology (which makes deep rumble explosion effects possible). Positioning is very good here, providing us with a full sense of orientation in the field, and the ability to determine where the sound is coming from. Clarity was great as well.

Call of Duty: WW2

Here, positioning is at a very high level – we were able to locate sounds coming from any direction (including up and down) without any problems. The stage, although not too big, is perfectly suited to this game. If you hear that something is close, it just is. In short, determining changes in the distance from the sound source was easy for me. Immersion was fantastic (thanks to the haptics), and I could really enjoy the atmosphere. Sound-wise, it's all like it should be.

Project Cars 3

Racing games are very entertaining and also very dependent on the quality of the sound. Bass reproduction was crucial here, and the HS60 HAPTIC didn’t disappoint. In fact, it was great. I was pleased with Corsair’s headset, and it brought a great experience to Project Cars 2

DiRT Rally 2.0

Rally cars at their finest. DiRT Rally 2.0 is a demanding simulation (maybe not as much as Richard Burns Rally, but not that far off from it). The sound is realistic, and you can almost feel the roar of the engine and grind of the transmission. The HS60 HAPTIC did excellent in DiRT Rally, so you won’t miss any important sounds.

Grand Theft Auto V

The music in GTA 5 is really diverse, and there are some funky tunes that can take advantage of the headset’s rich bass reproduction. Haptic technology makes it really good. It’s even better when you’re just driving around or walking in the city. The two 50 mm neodymium drivers really make a difference in this game. You can almost feel like you’re really in Ludendorff or Paleto Bay.

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey

All ambient sounds are reproduced nicely. The stage is sufficient for this game. Weapon strikes sound realistic. In many places, you can enjoy a multitude of details in a range of different sounds without the impression that one imposes on the other, or that they blend together.
