These days, Corsair seemed to want a slice of everything, or perhaps to show the world the greatness of their engineers. Started with buying NAND chips and making their own modules, Corsair entered the power supply market while fighting fiercely in the high performance ram market. Soon, they joined the chassis gang and SSD gang, and now they’re ready to join the gaming gadgets crowd.
“We set out to develop a headset with the performance that gamers demand, while also providing the pristine audio reproduction required for multi-channel movies and high bit rate music,” stated Jim Carlton, Vice President of Marketing at Corsair. “The Audio HS1 easily meets both these challenges.”
Their first member of the gaming peripheral lineup is a USB headset offering multichannel audio via 50mm drivers, a noise-isolating closed design, noise-cancelling and articulating mic, and inline volume and microphone mute controls. Aside from the larger than usual drivers, we’re not seeing anything particularly unique here, but that ethereal quality component is rarely apparent on black and white fact sheets. Availability is said to be immediate, though our quick pricing investigation threw up only a UK pre-order for £84 ($129). So yeah, Corsair’s certainly pricing the HS1 as a premium product. Not sure who ‘oem’ them thought, if you get the joke. But it’s still a great sight to see good products bearing the triple sail logo.
