Corsair HS50 Pro Gaming Headset

Mic stop working working after 8 months, ear coverings start to fray and fall off after 6 months, and then we had connection issues after roughly 9 months. We know they came with a 2 year warranty but we were so annoyed at the situation that we just trashed them and brought some RBG Pro from corsair which now after 13 months are also giving us issues. Charging port is lose and or works when it wants, the ear pads are starting to fray, and the serial numbers / stickers on the headset have all been scratch off because of poor placement on the headset adjusting sleeve. I would not use as a main set, these are great for the need of a backup headset with minimum use.

Considering i bought this headset for $50, i think it suits my needs well. The quality is great and it look is nice. Pros: - cheap and affordable. - nice sleek look - detachable mic (It can be used as headphones without the mic being attached) - Clear audio - great quality materials Cons: - I am not sure because it is new but every once in awhile ill have some pains around my ears due to the fact that i wear glasses and the headset pushes in to my head. - the ear pieces are made of leather (i think) and is not as soft as the fabric ones i used to have. - another con is that sometimes i have issues with connectivity, my laptop would have issues detecting the headset when plugged in.

Overall a good headset. Good sound, and people can hear me. Doesn't look silly (like many other headsets tend to) Two minor things prevented it from being 5 stars: 1) grip is too tight. I have a big head, and it clamps down hard enough that I start to get a headache after a few hours. Might loosen up with time. YMMV 2) mute button doesn't work in all situations: seems to depend on what device I'm using. I've not tried to debug, since each device has its own way to mute. I'm happy with it, and would recommend it.

Only had these for two months now. Comfort level of the padding is now Low! Ears sweat (never had a headset make my ear area sweat!!!) & worst of all, defective ear pads! They are not elastic around the grooves to hold the pads on. How they are held in, I do not know. But once they come out, you CANNOT get them back in & have them stay there! 2 Months old & I should not have to replace the ear pads with ones that are elastic & actually stay mounted!!! Had to Velcro the right ear pad in place just to continue using them, until I replaced them! Now the left ear is halfway off & 100% NO Way to fix it as it was when bought~! again. 2 months old & I have to replace the ear pads? NO~! I am just bought a different headset that will be picked up tomorrow. These will be emergency backups & if it never comes to that.... Will never be used again~!

I was looking for an inexpensive wired headset to replace my wireless one that sucks for battery life so I could actually listen to my computer and use voice when needed without much issue. These do the trick well enough. They do get to be too much to wear all the time but that's really because I wear them most the day. Plus I'm not used to wearing a headset often at all. Definitely worth the money imo.
