Choose it if…

  • You want game sound and voice chat in one headset.
  • You are happy to check your voice with your chat app’s mic test instead of hearing yourself continuously in headphones.
  • You want a wearable microphone rather than a separate desk stand or arm.

Before choosing this model

  • This is the HS35 v3, which Corsair sells as the follow-up to the HS35 v2; the v2 shows out of stock in Corsair's store.
  • Corsair's FAQ says it works on Xbox Series X|S through the controller's 3.5 mm jack and that some Xbox features may need Microsoft's adapter, but its specifications leave Xbox out.
  • Corsair lists no mic monitoring or game and chat balance for it, and it doesn't use the iCUE app.
  • It plugs in by cable, so there's no edition to match: use a jack that takes a headset mic, such as a controller's 3.5 mm jack.
  • No stand or arm needed: the mic is on the headset.
  • Use the cable in the box; you only need an adapter if your computer lacks that port.
