The lightweight nature of the Corsair HS55 Wireless does make a difference to its long-term comfort, and it's notably lighter than other wireless headsets we've seen recently, including the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless and SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7.īest gaming mouse: the top rodents for gamingīest gaming keyboard: your PC's best friend.īest gaming headset: don't ignore in-game audio The wired HS55 headset with its cable weighs in at 275g, and the HS55 Wireless is bang on at the advertised 274g, which means Corsair has kept pretty much the same weight despite adding a whole battery and extra controls to the HS55 Wireless. Now Corsair says that's actually lighter than the wired HS55 at 284g, which I absolutely could not take at face value from the Corsair website, so I got my scales out and weighed them both. That's actually pretty good compared to some other budget headsets I've been using lately-the Scarlett HP60 MkIII headset included with the Scarlett 2i2 bundle I reviewed last year starts to get uncomfortable to wear after just a couple of hours.Ĭorsair's trick here seems to be getting its wireless HS55 headset down to an impeccable weight of just 274g. I've been wearing it for the better part of eight-hour work days and only towards the very end of the day do my ears start to ache a touch and I want rid of this thing. The HS55 Wireless is plenty comfortable, however. That didn't matter much at $50, but with this sort of price tag I am left wanting a bit more of a premium feel. I got up and walked downstairs and out of my back door into the garden and through all the floors and walls the Corsair's audio didn't falter once.īut the price premium does take the shine off the HS55, Corsair's quality is high, but admittedly this is a headset that's unremittingly plastic in its construction. I've been testing a wired headset for the past few weeks, and so the Corsair's wire-free functionality has been a bit of a blessing. A wired headset is hardly a hassle, but I'll admit it is nice to not have to keep taking my headset on and off every time I run off for a bathroom break or to grab a coffee between raid encounters.

The most obvious being the freedom to get up and walk away from your desk at any time without dragging your PC tower off with you. There are bountiful reasons as to why a wireless gaming headset is a good decision. That's more than double the going price of the standard wired HS55 headphones. To cut the cord, you'll need to part with $100/£100/€120. There is one other big drawback to picking up the wireless model of the HS55, however.
