Anyways, about this headset. The headset has really really good audio. Amazing bass (im a bass head) and really clear highs. And what i really appreciate is the lack of muddy mids. Deep bass and clear treble is good, but no muddy mids is even better. Clearity should be ehat you're after and these headphones check that box.
However... the comfort of this headset is quite unpleasing. My previous HS70 LE headset was amazingly comfortable but these HS50 Pros aren't exactly comfortable. They sit on your head well which is one thing but they clamp quite hard on your head. Along with that is the somewhat rough headband. I start to recieve nausea and a mild headache from the earpads and headband so i did return these. But for a sub 14year old i would definitely recommend.
Judging the headset on its own merits, I find it to be quite good. It's a little tight on the head, but the earcups are soft enough that it's not super uncomfortable. However, they are firm enough that people with sensitivity issues might not like how much they squeeze.
I'm not a crazy audiophile, but I do care about good quality headphones, and I've definitely thrown my fair share of bad headphones in the trash over my life. The Corsair headphones sound pretty good to me. Decent range, and pretty alright bass. Don't know how I feel about the headphones themselves having a dedicated volume knob; it sounds fine now, but knobs like that always start to crackle as they get old. Would have preferred digital buttons.
Microphone quality is where I get picky. I have shopped around because even on $200+ Sennheiser headsets, the microphone input is always just passable, sounding like an old telephone. All the demos I listened to with the Corsair HS55 made the microphone sound really good. In practice, it's... fine. It has much better range than most headset mics, giving it better clarity than the "old telephone" effect you get from most headsets.
But it's also pretty noisy. There's a constant hiss at all times coming through this mic. The good news is that most voice chat programs have noise filters that will take care of things pretty well. On Discord and in livestreams I've done, there is effectively no hiss at all; you just have to configure your settings correctly. Sometimes it might leave you sounding a little muffled, but it still sounds miles better than the "old telephone" effect.
In short, this is one of the best headsets I've ever used.

Aí vai umas dicas pra você configurar o seu Corsair Hs55 de forma a extrair a melhor qualidade sonora possível: Instale o aplicativo Corsair iCUE, ele é necessário. Já dentro da tela do app, clique em Equalizador e desmarque a opção "Reposicionamento automático..." e clique em Dolby Audio até que a palavra Estéreo apareça; feche o app. Abra o Painel de Controle > Hardware e Sons > Som > clique sobre Corsair HS55 e clique em Configurar na parte inferior esquerda da tela. Clique em Surround 7.1 e avance até a última tela. Agora vá em Propriedades, que fica ao lado do botão Configurar. Na aba avançado escolha a opção 24bits/96000Hz. E na aba Som Espacial, tenha certeza de que a opção Desativado esteja marcada.
É isso. Detalhe: Em alguns casos, o Dolby Audio pode soar bem, daí você ativa ele pelo aplicativo iCUE e descobre. 👍
En largas sesiones si se sentirá la pesadez del producto, ya que no es exactamente el más liviano, aunque, al menos para mi cabeza, la presión que efercen las almohadillas son cómodas, y en tiempos correctos los audífonos te harán pasar un gran rato.
Respecto a música, tiene un buen Driver, he tenido otros audífonos más enfocados a la música pero estos no te decepcionarán, pero ten en cuenta que están más especializados a juegos, llamadas (videollamadas), etc. A lo que me lleva, el micrófono se escucha bien y cumple, si vienes de unos audífonos más sencillos como los del celular, seguro tus amigos escucharán la diferencia en tu audio.
Ten cuidado con el cable ya que NO es remplazable, trata de no enredarlo tanto o no tensarlo mucho a la hora de guardarlo, ya que eso podría acortar el tiempo de vida del producto; también cuida los repuestos y trata de guardarlo todo bien, tanto el micrófono que es extraíble como cubrir su entrada con la gomita.
Aunado a lo anterior, he revisado los precios de sus gamas adelante, y los precios han bajado con el tiempo (lo normal), así que si andas buscando unos audífonos busca la diferencia de precios con los HS60, audífonos que además ofrecen otras características, como audio 7.1, pero al que le sacarías mayor jugo en nuevas generaciones de consolas y en PC, y por un poco más (300 pesos mexicanos o 15 dólares aprox. a noviembre de 2021) pues pueden resultar una "mejor" inversión, aunque siempre dependerá del presupuesto, pero cuál sea tu elección, seguro estarás muy feliz con tus headset.
