I tend to use the headphones for maybe a few hours a day, and lasting a week is not out of the question. The battery life is rated at 16 hours, which seems possible, but haven’t done a detailed measurement. In sum, good for what they are meant for as gamer and multimedia headphones. There’s a very faint hiss when the headphones are on if you aren’t listening to anything, but that’s true for basically anything when powered on. It can certainly get loud enough, and the over the ear design gives some slight decrease in outside noise without much leakage of what you are listening to. The sound is more relaxed and boomy than any pair of Sennheisers I’ve owned, definitely not as clear as my Etymotic in-ears. It is not a very flat (neutral) response you’d find in, for instance, studio monitors, definitely more what you’d expect for casual listening and media cans. It’s just impossible to know what something sounds like without listening to it yourself, and even then it is very easy to be fooled (for example, the famous loudness wars).īut fine, my overall impressions on the audio of the HS70? Pretty good. While a broad sense of the audio is found in reviews, in the end I’d rather rely on some frequency curves (against some reference I know, like a pair of well-loved headphones).
I won’t do a deep description here, for one because I’m not an experienced audio reviewer, and more importantly because I don’t find that subjectivity very useful. The overall fit is firm without being tight, and I’ve worn them long into an evening gaming session without problem after a little adjusting. The earcups have a thick cushion (of a smooth, fake leather feel) that are comfortable, while the cushion on the headband is a bit thinner and firmer. And, with a closed-ear set, it can get a bit warm. Or maybe I’m just never finding the right spot right away. I find the headphones comfortable, though the weight of any wireless set means I need to shift and adjust every so often as it tires on my head. No flashy LEDs here, just a small green one to let you know when it is on. It is not the lightest headset at about 341g (just over 12 ounces) on my kitchen scale (without the mic), but that’s to be expected with batteries needed for wireless.
No creaking or looseness, with movement where you’d expect it: adjusting the headband, slight twisting where the headband connects to the earcups, and tilting of the earcups themselves.

The HS70 Pro is solidly constructed, made of hard and soft-touch plastics and metal (like the underlying headband). I was in luck: the popular and well-regarded Corsair HS70 Pro I ended up buying is both very good and works without fuss.
But this information, of what works (fully, or not), is scattered and sometimes you just need to guess. If not, a lot of peripherals’ basic functionality should “Just Work” on modern kernels. Though not all hardware may be a good fit, if you have that fancy mouse or keyboard there’s community projects like libratbag and ckb-next to help you get set up, if your device is supported.

I’m not a fan of Bluetooth audio (connection issues, not sure all my computers even have Bluetooth) so I looked for one with a USB wireless adapter.īut while researching a good wireless headset, I found things uncertain in Linux land: everyone advertises their Windows compatibility and special audio software, but would the hardware work on at least a basic level outside of Windows? What would you miss out on?

It worked, but I decided it was time to free myself from some wires and reduce my headphone switching for better audio. There was nothing really wrong with my cheapo USB headset, complete with blue lights and a long, braided blue USB cable.
