Let’s discuss the factors that you need to consider, now that you have decided to buy a Corsair gaming headset.
1. Compatibility
The very first consideration is whether or not your chosen headphones are compatible with your gaming setup. Corsair headsets are generally compatible with the most common setups – PC, PlayStation, or Xbox. But, it never hurts to be double sure.
2. Sound quality
We are talking about headsets here, so obviously, sound is the most important consideration when picking one. Several technologies power audio quality in Corsair headsets.
Aside from the Dolby Headphone 7.1 surround sound that we have already discussed above, there is also the Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE which uses custom-tuned neodymium drivers to deliver high-fidelity sound.
And the Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT enables a high-speed, low-latency wireless connection that ensures lag-free audio; among many others.
So, as a buyer, you just have to examine each of these features, determine which ones appeal to you the most, and then pick headphones that best offer those.
3. Comfort
As we already explained earlier, comfort cannot be overemphasized. There isn’t much that hurts more than having to endure a gaming session while your headsets pinch your ear lobes.
Corsair’s headsets feature varying designs and materials which determine comfort levels. You may want to consider which configuration works out best for you.
4. Microphone quality
Microphone quality is a non-negotiable, especially if you are going to be playing a lot of multiplayer games. So, you want to look for mic features that will ensure the best experience for you. Do you want clear audio? Or noise cancellation? Or zero latency? Look out for the features on the headsets that provide the experience that you seek.
5. Budget
This section would be incomplete if we didn’t touch on budget. As we already explained, Corsair offers a range of headset models with varying price points. They have varying build mechanics and features, but at the end of the day, they are still Corsair headsets. So, you just have to pick one that is closer to your budget.
