Corsair HS1A Pro Reviews

www.pcper.com‘s review Edit Like Unlike

When compared to the Grado SR-125 headphones, the HS1As just do not perform so well. We also must consider that the SR-125s are going for around $150, essentially double the price of what Corsair offers. Plus the SR-125s do not have the fit and finish of the Corsair units, nor the comfort. When we take these factors into account, the Corsairs start looking better and better. If one is an audio purist, then spending the extra money for better sound, but cruddy comfort, is something one can live with. For the majority of users and gamers out there, the extra pain is not worth the improved sound. Plus in a gaming environment, the sealed headphones that Corsair offer are much better for the job than the Grados.

Like the HS1 headset, the HS1A is a traditional 2-channel headset with circumaural cups, which is to say they surround the listener’s entire ear. There is ample padding around the cups and headband and a soft terry-cloth like microfiber covering which helps keep the listener’s ears dry during extended sessions. Leather covers are also included if that’s your thing. A boom microphone is mounted on the left side and a 3 meter cable with inline volume / microphone controls terminate in standard 3.5mm (1/8”) connectors for the headphones and microphone.

The HS1A is very comfortable, and has excellent sound clarity and detail. Unfortunately, it lacks the bass depth that provides the wow factor in games, music and movies. This can be dialled out with a bit of fiddling with EQ balances, though, making it a minor complaint for such a keenly priced and high-quality headset. The next step up the audio scale is the Razer Carcharias, which costs around £70, making the Corsair HS1A a bargain.

Built for the gaming and Computer enthusiast nuts by what appears to be a bunch of gaming and computer nuts, the Corsair HS1A Gaming Headset (CA-HS1ANA) is a very well built, sturdy headset that is very comfortable to wear for hours. The larger 50mm drivers really help pump in the extra audio that is needed to immerse yourself into the games you love to play and movies you love to watch. The Corsair HS1A Gaming Headset (CA-HS1ANA) easily hooked up to my onboard Realtek ALC889 audio and was able to use the 7.1 surround sound setting in my on board audio software to give my games and movies a bit more depth.

The HS1A is certainly a high quality headset and certainly worthy of a little more money than something from Labtec or even Ozone, but, it's not worth as much money is it is, especially when the HS1 is available for very little more. Even without Dolby Headphone, if the HS1A was priced at $50, I would heartily recommend it, because it is much better than cheaper headsets. However, because it lacks Dolby Headphone and is only $15 cheaper than the HS1, the HS1A just isn't a good value. So, if you want to buy the HS1A, don't: buy the HS1.

Finally, coming in at $89.99 USD , the HS1A is good value again from Corsair and is in its own right another nicely implemented headset.
