IT HASN'T BEEN LONG since we had our hands on the wired version of the Corsair HS65 Surround, an impressive sub$100 gaming headset. Visually, it looked more premium than its $80 price would have suggested and, more importantly, the audio quality was impressive, with encapsulating surround sound. The only thing holding it back was a lack of features, so Corsair has thrown low-latency 2.4Ghz wireless technology into the mix on this upgrade-for a cost, of course. So, is wireless worth the bump in price, or should you save a few bucks and stick with the wired variant?
One of the main selling points of the standard Corsair HS65 was its premium build quality and design for a price of just $80. The headset hasn't altered too much and so the build quality is still impressive, even for its new price of just under $120. Like its wired predecessor, you're getting a lightweight aluminum construction, smooth hinges, and the ability to adjust it to a range of head sizes, which are all important if you're going to be using it for hours on end.
