Corsair HS1A Gaming Headset Review

Rob Williams · 06-24-2011, 01:15 AM

When we took Corsair's first gaming headset for a spin last fall, the HS1, we were left impressed by the fact that the company went for balanced audio instead of boomy bass, resulting in a refreshing listening experience. As they were USB-based, though, some who owned dedicated audio cards shunned them. The remedy? The HS1A.

Looks like Corsair, as always, only releases the best product! No wonder every Corsair product is getting an Editor's Choice!
