An ideal product for any type of consumer.

Very happy with the purchase. I chose between the promoted Deshman "hyper x stinger core" and krakens, within 3k, but I didn’t like them at all, and there’s nowhere to check the sound, and you need to test them for several days to understand the difference.

Here the sound is just great, I can hear everything, every drop of rain (in The Division 2, for example, today is the coolest sound that I have ever heard in games, sound tracing is involved, so the sound can be reflected from objects, yes, yes, just like ray tracing). And all this on an integrated sound card from a rotten B560M D3H (I do not recommend this crooked mother, by the way).

All games now feel different, it’s like my hearing was returned, a completely different world, and my Sades Snuk are not bad, they played music and movies coolly, but not very well in games, I almost didn’t understand who was where, the sound was mixed, everything is clear here, I know exactly where the enemy is always, it's like a legal "BX" enemy is behind the wall and I definitely hear that the head is about to appear and I'm already aiming, or I'm shooting with a prefire. very cool.

In general, before that I didn’t know that corsairs have headphones, I have had their cx750 power supply for 9 years already, survived 4 PC assemblies and overclocking of the FX8350, sudden drops and a constant lack of voltage in the network and is alive and well, so there was already some trust, and Ear warranty 2 years.

In general, if you visually like them, then the filling there is excellent. Take it, you won’t regret it, but again, if you have a cool mother with a normal sound recorder or a separate expensive one (from 5-6k), then the headphones should generally play chic. It is clear that these tips are not for music lovers and about players, they already know what to take and obviously not for such a price, but for ordinary gamers, for warfasito and cops, there will be an optimal varik, which is the most interesting, the sound seems to be muffled, there are no sharp clatters, squeals and other things, nothing jams and does not infuriate at all. I don't want to suddenly turn the volume down. no matter how loud the shots are, they are not deafening, but pleasantly realistic bass, and the steps, on the contrary, are pronounced.

Pros

● Price (3270r) ● Sound - in fact, for the sake of it, they were bought (everything is heard in games, positioning tower). ● Design - it's just nice to hold them in your hands (like some kind of premium product). ● Excellent sound insulation, now no one bothers me. ● Very soft leatherette ear pads (yes, they will peel off, but what can you do, but if anything, you can buy them inexpensively on the well-known site). ● Very high quality assembled, nothing backlash, no dangling and no squeaks. ● Splitter included. ● Strong, iron-clad, yet light (my all-plastic Sades Snuk weigh more). ● Tightly sit on the head, as if glued, my past headphones just slipped.

Cons

● A dead microphone, the sound is like from a barrel, I can’t hear very well and some fragments (there is setup experience, I tried everything), it’s either a marriage, or it’s really so bad (but I’m not lucky, there is a buttonhole for 300r that elegantly transmits the voice , and anyway, I planned to take a normal desktop micro for the future. ● Short wire. I have it right next to it. (so count it) ● Wire without braid. This is a serious drawback for headphones, I know that such a wire is on the HS60 model, but they are much more expensive and where I took it at a discount with bonuses (for 3270r), there was no HS60 at all or there were something around 6k. and 7.1 (useless) and braided wire don't cost that much. In my opinion, they are no different anymore (besides, for 7.1 emulation, I have Dolby Atmos, also bought for a penny), but don’t be fooled by marketing, there can’t be 7.1 sound in headphones with two speakers, in reality, in games there is sound as if deeper, but this is just a competent work of the equalizer, as such there are few differences, and in network shooters it is generally better to turn it off, otherwise if the enemy is a couple of meters away from you, you will hear that he is already trampling closely and other tricks. ● It's not a problem for me, but still - the volume control is on the back, when you take off the headphones you touch it, you need to get used to it, take the headphones by the iron arms to remove them. In fact, I got used to it in a couple of days. ● It's not a problem for me, but I'll note that the headphones are unlikely to fit on a big head, I have the regulator to the maximum and it's just right for me, in the past few headphones I had a huge margin, but right here, in general, these ears are right for me and made as if, everything is as it should, but others may not fit.
