Corsair HS55 Wireless Core 266g

The Corsair HS55 Wireless Core is a lightweight gaming headset that balances low-latency wireless play and mobile convenience. It connects via 2.4GHz low-latency wireless with a range up to 50ft, and also supports Bluetooth for phones and portable use. First impressions are of a comfortable, no-fuss design that keeps weight down to 266g while delivering clear in-game audio.

Key features

The HS55 Wireless Core aims to cover the essentials without excess. Its custom-tuned 50mm neodymium drivers provide the range and clarity you need to pick out footsteps and directional cues, and on PS5 you can take advantage of Tempest 3D AudioTech according to the manufacturer. The headset includes an omni-directional microphone with a flip-to-mute function for quick privacy, and on-ear controls let you change volume, sidetone and EQ presets without leaving your seat. It’s well suited to longer sessions thanks to leatherette memory foam ear pads that gently cradle the ears.
