These light-weight headsets characteristic a brand new floating headband design, 50mm dynamic drivers, removable increase mics, and Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio compatibility.
Both variations of the HS35 v3 characteristic customized 50mm Neodymium dynamic drivers with a frequency response of 20 – 20,000 Hz and an impedance of 32 ohms. The wired model weighs a mere 8.11 ounces (230g), which makes it one of many lightest gaming headsets we have seen (although, not absolutely the lightest — Logitech’s G325 weighs simply 7.47oz / 212g) — whereas the wi-fi model is barely heavier at 8.82 ounces (250g). The wired model is over 2.5 ounces lighter than the HyperX Cloud III (10.86oz / 308g), which is likely one of the comfiest headsets we have examined, whereas the wi-fi model is nearly 2 ounces lighter than the Turtle Beach Atlas Air (10.61oz / 292.5g), which is, properly, principally as gentle as air. Weight does not essentially assure consolation, but it surely’s definitely a significant component.
The headsets additionally characteristic a “floating” headband design — an elastic strap related to each side of the headscarf, so the headscarf does not sit immediately in your cranium and as an alternative “floats” above it — which is a design we have seen a number of of our favourite snug gaming headsets use. Other design options embody a light-weight plastic body, reminiscence foam-padded earpads lined in breathable mesh material, and a removable omnidirectional increase microphone with on-ear controls for each muting and quantity management.

Corsair says you will stand up to 30 hours of battery life over the wi-fi model’s 2.4GHz wi-fi connection at 50% quantity, which is not the most spectacular battery life we have heard of however might be greater than sufficient for somebody who does not play days-long gaming marathons.
