Corsair's budget-priced headset doesn't have the frills of pricier headsets, such as 7.1 surround sound, but it still impresses at this price range.

Likewise, the HS50 can adeptly handle music, movies, and other media, whether you're streaming media on your console or computer or using the headset with your smartphone. And the roaring engines of Forza Motorsport 7 on Xbox One impressed almost as much as the game's dazzling graphics. The sound field doesn't feel immense, but it does come off as a bit broader than Astro's option. Moving over to Star Wars Battlefront II, the pew-pew of my TIE Fighter's laser blasts resonated vividly around my ears amidst the thundering propulsion. Likewise, the heavy boing of a well-timed jump, the thump of the ball bouncing and the explosive defeat of being destroyed by another car all rang true and clear. The pulsing electronic tunes delivered both precise highs and solid – although not booming – bass tones, with nice differentiation between them. I spend most of my gaming time these days in Rocket League for PlayStation 4, and the HS50 didn't disappoint.

Corsair opted for 50mm drivers here, which are a bit larger than the 40mm drivers in both the Astro A10 and the pricier wireless Astro A20 ($149, £149, AU$249) and output sound that's just a smidge better than either of those offerings. That's also true with the sound quality, which is surprisingly excellent for a basic stereo headset.
