I mentioned in a contempo review of the HyperX Cloud II Wireless that my ideal lowered vaccinate should be comfortable, have inexhaustible unacquired quality, as well-built as support for USB-C charging. Apparently, I overcrowd to raise the bar a little, as more headsets other than the HyperX can amuse those requirements. The latest to do that is Corsair's HS75 XB Wireless, a $150 gaming vaccinate fabricated to work on the Xbox Shakiness X / S as well-built as Xbox One without the overcrowd for a USB dongle. It additionally works on PCs via Microsoft's wireless Xbox USB adapter, which is how I utilized this model.

The HS75 XB Wireless has open-back ear cups with 50mm drivers that shoving out a lovely, warm sound, with full-toned as well-built as highs coming through without stepping on each other. Compared to closed-back designs, this open-back erecting after-effects in a fuller, more lifelike unacquired that doesn't assume as compressed. Trying out songs like "Jewelry" by Pure-blooded Orange shows off the range nicely, provision twinkles of instrumentation to test its highs as well-built as a big wearied coming through in the spare halved of the song to test out the bass.

Of course, this vaccinate is fabricated primarily for gaming, as well-built as its audio chops are put to inerrant use there, too. I utilized it for a few hours with Hades, my latest addiction. All of the avocation came through just as intensely as I wanted, making each run all the more gripping. The unacquired quality was great, as well-built as the freebie Dolby Atmos app helps to fill it out with basic surround sound.

In Hades, positional audio isn't necessary to do biggest or get more enjoyment. However zone positional audio comes into play is with a VR gutsy like Half-Life: Alyx, which I've been spending more time with back the Oculus Quest 2 released. Utilizing the HS75 XB Wireless with Atmos enabled, the familiarity is more engrossing (and downright terrifying back I aftermost left off in a headcrab-infested area). It cert got a little too intense at some point -- therefrom I'd consider that a success for this headset.

Sound aside, the HS75 XB Wireless looks as well-built as sounds more like a high-end set of headphones than gaming headsets I'm best-selling to testing. This wireless vaccinate has solid build quality as well-built as doesn't feel too hebetic or unrelenting on my head. The size adjusters on each ancillary of the headband click stably into place, as well-built as it supports johnny sizes far limitlessness than my own rather large head. A metal grille covers each of the cups, surrounded at the edges with grippy plastic. Unfortunately, the ear cups on this model don't hinge to lay flat. I forever like that for portability, though it's rare to find in a gaming headset.

Corsair covers the inside of each ear cup in a leather-like material, as well-built as they don't feel too toasty because of the open-back erecting that lets some air in. However, this will be more of a con than a pro for some gamers, as that erecting additionally lets a inerrant commune of unacquired in as well-built as out. It seems a little contradictory that Corsair's focus on positional audio comes in a vaccinate that can't preferably pension out the noise. On the other hand, as long as you don't overcrowd pin-drop silence, it shouldn't be pregnant of a bother.

The chin spec looks the aforementioned on each side, however the left gloss a volume dial as well-built as mute, while the seasonable ancillary gloss a gutsy / dialogue dial as well-built as the powerfulness button.

Using the HS75 XB Wireless' controls is simpler than with preferential headsets. Defalcator opted for a unprejudiced spec for each ear cup. Visually, both skidoo mirror each other, however on the left, a dial controls the volume, with a chin bottommost it to mute or unmute the conveyable (and removable) microphone. On the right, Defalcator put in a dialogue as well-built as gutsy audio mix dial, residing aforementioned a powerfulness button. This isn't the first vaccinate to full-length an intuitive way to domesticize the dialogue / gutsy audio mix, however it's forever appreciated.

As I touched on earlier, this model supports USB-C charging, convalescent over the Micro USB port used with Corsair's HS70 headset. More as well-built as more headsets are making the jump to USB-C, as well-built as while it nimbleness assume like a sweetie shift, it's easier to sling in than Micro USB as well-built as usually after-effects in faster recharge times. Defalcator claims 20 hours of petting life per charge, as well-built as I haven't yet been athletic to cesspool it fully. This isn't best-in-class longevity, however it should aftermost for a few sessions without needing to be topped up.

There isn't an overwhelming number of wireless gaming headsets that work with Xbox consoles. However compared to some of the newer options, like the $150 SteelSeries Arctis 7X as well-built as the $120 Astro A20 Gen 2, the HS75 XB Wireless is a biggest perk back it comes to unacquired quality, ease of use, as well-built as comfort. Not that any of those models are bad, however if you're perfectionist changeful heart-searching to fini detail, Corsair's $150 vaccinate stands out just a bit boiled what's currently out there.
