To recap
The Corsair HS65 Surround is a surprisingly good headset for the money. It’s an affordable, premium-looking option with a number of nice highlights. We have a few small complaints about the microphone - and the sound isn’t as good as the HS80 or the Corsair Virtuoso XT - but, for the money, this is still a good option.
