Corsair HS65 Surround Review

The main difference between the Corsair HS65 and Corsair HS70 is that the HS70 has a 52 ms wireless latency compared to the HS65’s 100 ms latency. Additionally, the HS70 has a superior sound profile that produces more consistent bass frequencies and mids than the HS65. However, if you don’t like changing your battery, the wired HS65 guarantees your headset won’t crash during gameplay.

Concerning sound, the Corsair HS65 SURROUND offers 7.1 surround sound, enhancing directional audio in gaming, while the Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED relies on stereo sound, which is less immersive but still provides clear audio. In terms of design, the HS65’s robust aluminum frame and memory foam ear cups edge out the G535’s more basic plastic build and standard padding.
