Press Play on Great Sound – Introducing the CORSAIR HS65 SURROUND Gaming Headset with SoundID Technology

FREMONT, CA, May 5th, 2022 – CORSAIR^® (NASDAQ:CRSR), a world leader in high-performance gear for gamers and content creators, today launched an exciting new addition to its gaming headset lineup: the HS65 SURROUND. This stylish headset features lightweight aluminum-reinforced construction along with plush memory foam for superior comfort while gaming and listening, and introduces innovative Sonarworks SoundID technology that personalizes your audio experience with individually calibrated audio profiles. Available in either black or white to match your setup, the HS65 SURROUND is a fantastic choice for both all-day comfort and high-quality, customized sound.

The HS65 SURROUND is built with an exceptionally lightweight frame for all-day, all-night listening. Its plush leatherette memory foam ear pads are lined with soft fabric that’s easy on the ears, while an adjustable headband fits comfortably on your head. Complete with aluminum-reinforced construction accentuated with a striking mesh grill cup design for durability through years of gameplay, the HS65 SURROUND is just your style.

The HS65 SURROUND utilizes an included USB adapter that fits onto its 3.5mm connector, unlocking in-depth audio customization and Dolby Audio^® on PC and Mac. Sonarworks SoundID technology creates your ideal sound profile with a quick, simple, and intuitive assessment of your unique preferences using sample audio clips. The result is an extremely personalized experience rivaling that of professional-grade headphones, without a professional price tag. Connecting via USB also enables Dolby Audio 7.1 surround sound, putting you in the middle of the action so you can pinpoint in-game audio cues that may otherwise be missed.

For other platforms, a universal 3.5mm connection ensures wide compatibility on PS5/PS4, Xbox Series X | S, Switch, mobile, and more. High-quality, custom-tuned 50mm neodymium audio drivers deliver excellent sound with the range needed to hear everything on the battlefield on any device. An omni-directional microphone captures your voice loud and clear, with a convenient flip-to-mute function and on-ear volume control to boot.

“The HS65 SURROUND is a particularly exciting launch for us,” said Aaron Smith, Senior Director of Audio Product Management & Development at CORSAIR. “Thanks to the magic of SoundID, we’ve created a headset that combines the HS Series’ celebrated design and sound quality with the intelligence to learn your personal audio preferences and automatically tailor your listening experience accordingly.”

With a remarkably comfortable modern design, high-quality audio performance, and a range of connection options, the CORSAIR HS65 SURROUND presses play on great sound.
