Corsair makes some excellent gaming products, including PC cases, CPU coolers, gaming headsets, keyboards, mice, and mousepads. We recently reviewed their newest CPU AiO water cooler (Corsair H115i RGB Platinum Review) and gaming mouse (Corsair Glaive Review) and found them to be good performers. The company makes wired and wireless gaming headsets as well. The Corsair HS70 Wireless is its priciest wireless gaming headset and it works with PCs, Macs, and even the PlayStation 4. Unlike the Corsair Void Pro, though, it does not come with fancy RGB lights but it is made using sturdier materials.
The Corsair HS70 Wireless and the Corsair Void Pro wireless headphones are both priced below $100, have Discord-certified microphones, USB wireless transceivers, 7.1 channel surround sound and 16 hours of battery on a single charge. The HS70 Wireless can be seen as a wireless version of Corsair HS50. It has conventional looks and comes in Black and White. So, is it any good? Let us find out in our review.
As mentioned earlier, the Corsair HS70 Wireless lacks RGB lighting that you can find in the Void Pro. It also has more conventional looks in comparison. So, if you want a gaming headset with “gamer-ish” looks to go with, you should opt for the Corsair Void Pro instead of the HS70. The Corsair HS70 is for people like me who prefer understated headset designs.
The oval-shaped earcups have an over-the-ear design with memory foam covered with leatherette material. The chassis and the yokes are made using metal and the headband is covered using stitched padding. There are numbered markings on the headband for precise size adjustments. The right earcup has just a plastic power button. The left earcup has a 3.5mm jack for attaching the microphone, a scroll wheel to adjust volume, microphone mute/unmute button, LED indicator and a microUSB port for charging. The microphone arm is removable and the 3.5mm jack can be covered using a supplied plastic flap. There’s no foam covering for the microphone, though. The LED indicator displays red, orange or green colors, depending on the battery level. A pen drive-sized USB dongle acts as an audio transmitter and receiver over the 2.
