Corsair HS70 Wireless Headset

Corsair is known for a great variety of PC components and peripherals. They have a wide portfolio of headphones, including budget-oriented HS running upwards to a very high-end Void series. In this review, we check out the all new Corsair HS70 Stereo Gaming Headset.

The headset might look similar to the Corsair HS50, which we already reviewed before (you can read about it here: read here). But doesn’t have RGB, however it is wireless and comes with an integrated USB 7.1 Surround soundcard. It's a headset that supports surround sound, but sure, usually disabling that feature makes it sound better overall. Being Wireless (2.4 GHz) it offers more freedom with up to 40 feet of range and up to 16 hours of gameplay on a single charge seems a big upside. During the test, the battery actually lasted about 12 hours, which is not too far off from Corsair’s claims. The drivers used are 50 mm Neodymium magnets, which should help deliver immersive 7.1 virtual surround sound on PC, and full stereo on Playstation 4. The new headset is capable of 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response. Available in 2 colors – carbon and white, the sturdy yet lightweight design features slim-profile oval ear cups with on-ear controls and internal-memory foam. A fully detachable Discord Certified noise-cancelling microphone guarantees clear and accurate communication. When used on PC, CORSAIR’s exclusive iCUE software provides additional audio EQ control, sound field pre-sets and sidetone adjustment.

The look might be modest but will definitely attract the PC gaming audience. Well, lets hit the next page, please.

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.
