CORSAIR Launches HS60 HAPTIC Gaming Headset
If you haven't check out our review here. Corsair launched the CORSAIR HS60 HAPTIC, the latest addition to the award-winning HS Series of PC headsets. The HS60 HAPTIC delivers deeper, more powerful sound than can be achieved through just speakers alone thanks to haptic bass developed by Taction Technology.
Combined with the celebrated materials, audio quality, and comfort synonymous with the HS Series, the HS60 HAPTIC makes a striking addition to any gaming setup that must be heard - and felt - to be believed.
At the core of the HS60 HAPTIC's distinctive listening experience lies innovative bass from Taction Technology that enhances low-end frequencies using tactile feedback, enabling users to perceive sounds while gaming that other headsets miss. Hearing the deep, low rumble of explosions or the reverberating hum of nearby machinery is a richer, more engaging experience with the HS60 HAPTIC. Combined with a pair of custom-tuned 50 mm neodymium audio drivers delivering superb sound quality and a fully detachable, noise-cancelling uni-directional microphone for outstanding vocal clarity, the HS60 HAPTIC puts you in the middle of the action like never before.
The HS60 HAPTIC's adjustable ear cups are fitted with plush memory foam to keep you comfortable even as you feel the battle raging around you. Its durable construction is reinforced with aluminium for years of use, and this ruggedness is complemented by the headset's distinctive camo pattern. Convenient on-ear controls allow you to adjust both game audio and the haptic feedback effect on-the-fly, without interrupting your gameplay. Connecting to your PC via USB, the HS60 HAPTIC can be controlled with CORSAIR iCUE software, enabling custom audio equalizer settings and more. Shaking up the CORSAIR headset lineup with its unique haptic bass, combined with all of the features that gamers expect of the award-winning HS Series, the HS60 HAPTIC delivers amazing sound that you can feel.
Availability and Warranty
The CORSAIR HS60 HAPTIC Gaming Headset is available immediately from the CORSAIR webstore and the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors. The HS60 HAPTIC is backed by a two-year warranty, alongside the CORSAIR worldwide customer service and technical support network.

Here is my "review" of the Corsair HS"anything".
The problem with these HS50, HS60, and HS70 is the design is weak. Check the reviews on Amazon on all/any of them and you'll see an alarming number of them with photos of the broken plastic junk that holds the ear cups onto the headband. Also the volume potentiometers are the cheapest possible garbage and will also fail in short order leaving you with, scratchy, shorted out, or no sound on one or both sides. The only time mic mute switches, and volume controls are acceptable are if they are inline on a detachable/replaceable cable or, maybe, if they made them out of quality materials, but yeah, that ain't gonna happen under ~$500.
TLDR: Corsair (Razer is worse) = $15 Chinese junk sold as $100 "brand name *blink blink* GAMER *flash flash* GEAR *look!!1 shiny!!!*" that just falls apart all from it's own weight. You should add these photos to youradvert... reviews of them.

I am not going to dismiss that there will be users having issues in some way or form. But let you show you my Vengeance 1500, now 6 years old and used often. And literally, I just took this photo. .... six years ...

Those look nice (and sturdy). Totally different design though. The HS line seems to have the weak point I mentioned. Problem is Corsair does not seem to care about changing it.
I have a ~15 year old pair of Sennheiser PC161's I could show you that still look nice too...but they are trash! I only keep them as a backup, just in case everything else fails. Non removable, flimsy, little, super thin cord with inline volume control that has been shorting out for 13+ years. I have to constantly tap and wiggle it to keep the sound on. All the faux leather has pealed away, onto my head mostly (within the first year when I actually still used them) like the photo of the Corsair's above. The only reason they lasted this long is they very rarely get used though, and that is SENNHEISER (a "proper" headphone maker)...not Corsair...but I digress...
I've been using a pair of Superlux HD668b for the last 6 years. Those things were $38, built like a tank, and sound like they cost 5x that. They sound way better than any "gamer headset" I have ever heard. Of course they don't have a mic, but there are other options for that and you could get the headphones and a mic for half the price of the Corsairs.

I strap 2 rumble pads to each side of my head, great surround!
