SeekerCorsair HS50
Decent for gaming. The Corsair HS50 do most things well but don’t really stand out in any gaming categories. Their microphone is good; it will please most online gamers, and you’ll be able to wear them for long gaming sessions. Also, you won’t have any delay due to their wired connection, which is great. They have a simple gaming-oriented control scheme with a mic-mute switch. However, they aren’t customizable like some other gaming headsets, since they aren’t compatible with the Corsair iCUE software and don’t have channel mixing. On the upside, their simple 1/8” TRRS connector is compatible with all consoles and PCs, making them a versatile headset.

As an inexpensive gaming headset, Corsair's HS50 does exactly what it's supposed to, with an acoustic profile to match the target market. True audio enthusiasts can tune this for more natural sound, as we've done. However, a tight fit may prove uncomfortable over time for those with larger heads.

The HS50 is the newest analogue gaming headset from Corsair. Priced under £60, this rather simplistic pair of cans offers great audio playback, decent build quality and a comfortable design.
