As per its naming, the new Corsair HS65 Surround Wired Gaming Headset is a wired gaming headset where one of its big features is quality surround. As a brand Corsair is definitely up there in the PC space, so it's great to see that this also works a treat when connected to a PlayStation 5.

A snippet.

From its detailed surround through to comfort and iCue software support, the new Corsair HS65 Surround Wired Gaming Headset definitely ticks many of the right boxes. And sometimes it’s just good to go back to a wired headset, if only to realise that there’s so much extra that goes into a wireless option you can forget that lightweight affordable wired headsets exist. Stuff that can deliver when it comes to both audio quality and versatility.

For one the supplied USB-DAC connection/adaptor makes PC performance uniform across any number of devices, with the added benefit of the ‘Surround’ found in the product title not being muffled by a, well, poor sound-card. This adapter can then be placed aside when connecting to a console like the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X (or smartphone or Nintendo Switch) to take advantage of things like Sony’s Tempest 3D Audio or a Dolby Atmos subscription. Or whatever console surround you might enjoy.
