CORSAIR HS75 XB Wireless Gaming Headset for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One & PC - Dolby Atmos Surround Sound, Detachable Noise-Canceling Mic, 50mm Neodymium Drivers - Black (Perfect for Competitive Gaming & Streaming)

After months of lockdown meaning I'm spending a lot more time gaming and not spending as much cash on general life I decided to splurge on a top end gaming headset. I assumed the sound quality, build quality and comfort would be very high on everything at this price point so my main concerns were integration with the xbox series x (most seem to need a dongle or to be wired) and good directional sound (...due to a dehabilitating Warzone addiction). After wading through many, many reviews on amazon and independent review sites I decided on the Corsairs.Absolutely top drawer, but with two very, very annoying bugs that I hope can be removed with a firmware update. Would be a hands down 5 stars with the bugs but has to fall to a 3 due to them.Good points:- FANTASTIC SOUND! A more natural sound than the high end Sony headphone I use for day to day use or the Samsung buds Pro, genuinely immersive.- Very customisable sound. The headset has two volume sliders, one for overall volume and one for the game volume/chat vume mix. Very handy for fine tuning on the fly mid game as situations change. It also comes with a subscription all paid up for dolby atmos included. Through the dolby atmos app on xbox you can pick from a bunch of presets. Tinkering around with them they do seem to make a big difference. I usually use movie-flat as it seems to give the most accurate mix, closer to what the sound engineers of the game or movie intended, but the various other setting work well for listening to certain types of music or specific game types (I use the different mixes for listening to jazz than to drum and bass for instance and use the gaming-performance mode for warzone, it pumps up the directional sound so you can hear the direction on incoming footsteps incredibly well).- directional sound. As mentioned before, ridiculous good directional sound (ONCE THE CORRECT SETRINGS ARE CHOSEN! Without selecting the boost it is noticeable but not insanely so. The 360 directional sound is excellent, however there is no vertical differentiation so you can't tell if people are above or below you...I'm not even sure if that is something any headphones can do though).-Super comfy. Genuinely not noticeable on a long session. Have spent far to long sat staring at at a screen and this if a huge upgrade in comfort from my old logitech g series headset.BAD POINTS...very frustrating as without these it would be top.marks all round, no noticeable "normal" downsides, exceptional headset...-if the headset runs out of battery while connected to the xbox it disconnects.....along with EVERY OTHER DEVICE CONNECTED TO IT WIRLESSLY....AND DELETES THEIR PAIRING IN A WAY THAT MEANS THEY CANNOT RECONNECT (EVEN THROUGH A WIRED CONNECTION) UNTIL THE CONSOLE IS HARD RESET.....it's unbelievably frustrating to be mid game in a squad based game like warzone and suddenly dissappear and be unable to reconnect...equally so in a game mode like COD zombies which may take several hours and so to suddenly crash out to a software bug is very disappointing.-in game if the game is not transmitting audio sometime the headset seems to fill in the void with a low frequency buzz. Not ideal.Top headset, game breaking bugs...
