CORSAIR, a world leader in high-performance gear for gamers and content creators, today launched an exciting new addition to its gaming headset lineup: the HS65 SURROUND. This stylish headset features lightweight aluminium-reinforced construction along with plush memory foam for superior comfort while gaming and listening, and introduces innovative Sonarworks SoundID technology that personalizes your audio experience with individually calibrated audio profiles. Available in either black or white to match your setup, the HS65 SURROUND is a fantastic choice for both all-day comfort and high-quality, customized sound.

The HS65 SURROUND is built with an exceptionally lightweight frame for all-day, all-night listening. Its plush leatherette memory foam ear pads are lined with soft fabric that's easy on the ears, while an adjustable headband fits comfortably on your head. Complete with aluminium-reinforced construction accentuated with a striking mesh grill cup design for durability through years of gameplay, the HS65 SURROUND is just your style.



The HS65 SURROUND utilizes an included USB adapter that fits onto its 3.5 mm connector, unlocking in-depth audio customization and Dolby Audio on PC and Mac. Sonarworks SoundID technology creates your ideal sound profile with a quick, simple, and intuitive assessment of your unique preferences using sample audio clips. The result is an extremely personalized experience rivaling that of professional-grade headphones, without a professional price tag. Connecting via USB also enables Dolby Audio 7.1 surround sound, putting you in the middle of the action so you can pinpoint in-game audio cues that may otherwise be missed.

For other platforms, a universal 3.5 mm connection ensures wide compatibility on PS5/PS4, Xbox Series X | S, Switch, mobile, and more. High-quality, custom-tuned 50 mm neodymium audio drivers deliver excellent sound with the range needed to hear everything on the battlefield on any device. An omni-directional microphone captures your voice loud and clear, with a convenient flip-to-mute function and on-ear volume control to boot.

"The HS65 SURROUND is a particularly exciting launch for us," said Aaron Smith, Senior Director of Audio Product Management & Development at CORSAIR. "Thanks to the magic of SoundID, we've created a headset that combines the HS Series' celebrated design and sound quality with the intelligence to learn your personal audio preferences and automatically tailor your listening experience accordingly."

With a remarkably comfortable modern design, high-quality audio performance, and a range of connection options, the CORSAIR HS65 SURROUND presses play on great sound.

Other Headset Launches
Joining the HS65 SURROUND are three more CORSAIR gaming headsets launching today: the HS80 RGB USB, HS55 STEREO, and HS55 SURROUND. Available in both black and white color options, all four headsets offer gamers exceptional comfort, durable construction, and refined styling that complement great audio performance.

Literally a pair of cheap, good studio monitors with a matched sub. Better and relatedly affordable.

Man, you make it sound like the SP 2500 doesn't slap hard af. I bought my son the Creative Sound Katana V1 and that system sounds pretty damn good. Just mad the sub cuts off at 50hz. Same problem with the Katana V2, but I might have to over look that.

I mean that unit is a sound bar after all.

You want something like this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1321553-REG/esi_unik_05_professional_active.html

Big ribbon tweeter, a lot of power for its size and room adjustments. Then get a cheap interface that doesn't suck and you're set.
I'll have to look into these non-subwoofer out speakers. I'm stuck in an old school mindset when it comes to computer speakers. I like the bass. These are not being doubled for movie experiences either. The 11.2 surround is for that in the living room.

You can add bass to these btw, they sell subwoofers alone and with some active speakers. Ones that are solid, too.

I'm not going to lie, I just looked into that pair and they are sexy AF. The size of those bad boys are pretty damn large. I do have a three monitor setup and I'll need reduce the foot print. I will keep those in mind if I change my monitor setup.

Yeah you don't necessarily have to buy those, there are smaller options that still pack a room power as well (especially with matched sub). Those are the more high end material. You can directly use onboard with the cheaper stuff as well. I just would recommend a cheaper interface that's good with the better stuff.
