CONCLUSION

   We tested the HS35 for a total of 2 weeks not only with several games on the PC (like Devil May Cry 5, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw and Age Of Wonders Planetfall) but also while listening to several lossless FLAC audio tracks with the FiiO M11 Music Player and the results well they were pretty much what we were expecting from an affordable gaming headset. However, although the HS35 offers relatively crisp mids and highs with a good amount of bass (alas nothing to be excited over – also do keep in mind that since this is not a USB powered headset volume levels depend a lot on the type of device you use them with) where it excels is comfort and so we were able to use it for 2-3 hours at a time without any issue. Build quality may also be far from perfect (that’s something we’ve come to expect from cost-effective models) but it’s certainly a tad higher compared to what you will come across by some of the not so popular manufacturers. As for the Discord certified microphone nothing really new here, good performance on par with what we’ve tested from CORSAIR to date (although the microphone of the Void Pro model did slightly better in our tests). 

   The HS35 Stereo Headset by CORSAIR may only count almost 2 months in the market but its price tag has already taken a rather significant hit and so currently you can find it for just USD29.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for just 33.70Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de). Of course, even its launch price was already quite aggressive so this is great news. Long story short even though the brand new HS35 Stereo Headset by CORSAIR may not impress with its performance and number of features it does hit a seriously impressive price/performance ratio and for that it certainly deserves our Golden Award.
