The Corsair HS55 Wireless Core has all the makings of a gaming headset that’s great for gaming on the go, with its on-the-fly EQ preset control, lightweight design, wireless connectivity with a 50ft signal range, and a decent 24-hour battery life. We only wish the sound quality is as good as the wired Corsair HS65.
