5 out of 5 eggsDon't believe the few bad reviews. Get gaming headset driver 2.0.37 "corsair.com/en-us/support/downloads"

Pros: The sound quality is superb, and the new Corsair software (gaming headset driver 2.0.37 fixes any Windows 10 issues others may have had in the past). The 7.1 sounds so good, and the build quality is really nice. Nothing cheap at all about this, other reviews I read seem to have not gotten the 2.0.37 gaming headset driver and adjusted the EQ. That's the first thing I did before plugging it in. It's built solid, you'll like it.

Cons: I can't honestly see any.

3 out of 5 eggsGood enough

Pros: Pretty decent headset, the virtual 7.1 is interesting and since I am not an audiophile I don't care much about the quality. My friends say the mic is of good quality and it does seem so.

Cons: Alrighty, here are the cons:
*Uncomfortable after 2 hours, my ears rib the inside and becomes hard to bear after awhile, wearing a winter hat helps, but may be warm because you have to let your ears breath here and there because the leather doesn't breathe
*Okay drivers, you have to start it every time you shut down, unlike other software that remembers what your settings were
*LOUD AS THIS SENTENCE IN YOUR HEAD YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM AT 6 TO NOT HAVE HEARING DAMAGE
*Inline controller has no clip
*Feels too big on my head
*Look ridiculous and 'gamer-y'

Other Thoughts: I have used these for ~6 months and they have held up well, I do treat them well, but I do knock them off my arm rest (I have nowhere else)and they have held up well

3 out of 5 eggsCorsair Raptor HS40 - Great until they break.

Pros: Sound quality was good until they broke.
Fairly comfortable fit.
Affordable.

Cons: These broke after one year of daily use.

The inline volume control is poorly designed, it's bulky and located in just the right spot where it gets snagged on everything.
After these broke i took apart the volume control, the tiny wires have no slack and are barely soldered so any sort of snagging of the inline control will inevitably lead to a break.

Other Thoughts: Not Recommended!
Would not buy again.

2 out of 5 eggsDon't buy

Pros: Good sound, when it doesn't short out or BSOD my PC. Relatively comfortable.

Cons: Volume control has a short, which disconnects the headset and occasionally causes a hardware-based BSOD. Used this headset maybe 5 hours in the last year.

Other Thoughts: Filed a RMA with Corsair but they want me to pay out of pocket to mail them in while pushing strict package rules upon me. Never buying from this brand again.

2 out of 5 eggsVery Bad Headset

Pros: The sound quality is okay.

Cons: The microphone constantly sounds like someone is blowing into it and you can not make out anything anything you are saying.

Other Thoughts: Do not get this, even if it is 50 dollars.

3 out of 5 eggsCorsair HS40

Pros: Souonds great, more or less. (Explain below) Fits my big melon. Nice quality mic

Cons: Only 1 con as of this moment, and it is a MASSIVE one.. Corsair, in their brilliance, have not came up with a Windows 10 driver for it you. So, instead of surround, you have basic headset with mic.

Other Thoughts: IF I had known this little piece of information, I would have went with a different set, but as no one had mentioned it, I got them.

OS compatibility for virtual surround should be a primary concern for a company that NORMALLY makes really good gear. I just wish I could say the same about the driver for this headset.

1 out of 5 eggsSkip this headset.

Pros: Worked fine until it broke.

Cons: Terrible construction. I purchased this head set less than 4 months ago and one of the ear pieces broke off. This product was used VERY gently in that time period.

I have a big boy job and I can't game as much as I would like.

Would not recommend.

2 out of 5 eggsScrapped in 3 months

Pros: USB connection
very sleek and smooth finish
nice looking headset
sound quality was nice, but not great
cord length is just right

Cons: USB connection error as reported by others within 3 months of use
Uncomfortable for long periods of use

Other Thoughts: Overall a really nice headset for the price, but I just cant recommend it due to the phones' internals messing up and causing errors so soon into its lifespan. Would get 4 stars if it had lasted a year or two.
