I have a Corsair HS70 and like others have mentioned about good headsets, the directional placement is amazing. I don't realize how good and natural it is until I get killed and I'm in spectator mode and watching a teammate - I can hear people coming up on them and can't understand why they're not turning
I have a corsair HS70 headset ive been using for the last 7 years and it sounds great. Good build quality for roughly $75, and it sounds better than the turtle beach ones I bought a couple years ago
Honestly? I've been running a couple different flavors of the Corsair wireless headsets for ages. Void Pro Wireless (kids broke it after like 3 years) Void RGB Elite wireless (still in use after 5 years, daily driver on the work pc) and an HS70 wireless as my current gaming pair (3 years old).
All were ~$100 each. Battery life is great when new. My hs70 pair still has a lot of battery life, probably at least 10.hrs. The 5 year old RGB Elite daily drivers last like 4 to 6 hrs now but since I'm sitting right there it's NBD to just plug in generally.
Sound quality is perfectly fine, mic quality is surprisingly good for gamer headsets. They'll function just fine without software (works great in Linux!), and ICue is.... Fine. Required on Windows if you want to control the RGB (if equipped).
I'd say I have a pretty "average" head, and I wear the Voids for around 6 hrs every day no problem. I've done similar stints with the HS70 with no comfort complaints.
The only issue I've run into is after a couple of years the fake leather flakes off. It leaves something more like soft terry cloth on the ear cups and headband. Still perfectly functional, but while it's flaking you'll get black "dandruff" 😅
I've had (and currently still use) Corsair wireless headphones. Old Void Elite RGB for my work PC (needing replaced at some point, but still surviving after 5+years of daily, 4 to 6 hr use) and HS70s on the gaming PC.
Sound quality is perfectly fine for gaming and music, especially at the ~$100 price point I spent. Mic quality is also perfectly adequate for online meetings and in-game voice chat. Honestly the Corsairs have unironically decent mics.
Only real complaint is after about 2 years the outer vinyl that lets them pretend to leather starts flaking away, leaving more of a terry-cloth texture behind. Which isn't uncomfortable; but you'll look like you developed black dandruff as it gives up.
