Corsair HS35 schwarz

Mit dem HS35 will Corsair den Headset-Einsteigerbereich „zum Kampfpreis“ neu definieren und ein günstiges, hochwertig verarbeitetes und klanglich überzeugendes Stereo-Gaming-Headset anbieten. Im Test zeigt sich eine gute Verarbeitung, aber sowohl Klang als auch Mikrofon überzeugen nicht.

I've been in this game for too long and used a large variety of better headsets to know that 'better' can be achieved with not a lot more money. However, should 'you' buy the HS35's? Arguably, if you want an affordable and solid headset that is branded, should last a while, and gives adequate performance for the price point in which it rests (yes, you are paying a bit of a Corsair tax, I would suspect), then go for it. I will not stop you. In my view, some strange decisions regarding price point and audio balancing/tuning were made in the development of this product. Naturally, I understand why, especially in regard to the audio. Given the similar specs to the objectively better HS50's, something had to be done to quell the HS35's performance to below that standard, otherwise... well, it's pretty obvious. Ultimately, the HS35's do get a recommendation from me. I do think they're a tiny bit expensive, but the rest of their qualities are enough that I think they're a solid pickup if you can find them for a 10-15% discount to drop them toward that 35 USD/GBP mark.

The Corsair HS35 Stereo is one of the least expensive brand-name gaming headsets currently on the market. As an analogue multi-platform headset, it can easily be connected to your PC, consoles, and mobile devices with a 3.5-millimeter 4-pole TRRS plug or the supplied dual 3-pole TRS adapter. For a mere $40, you get a gaming headset that feels fairly plasticky, but shows no sings of creaking or any other issue related to its build quality.
