The Corsair HS75 XB Wireless is an officially licensed Xbox Series X and Xbox One gaming headset. Based on the same excellent hardware platform as other Corsair HS headsets, it's built like a tank, pleasant to listen to, and comfortable. For the best surround sound experience in existence, a Dolby Atmos license is also included.

Certainly doesnt seem to deserve this:




Maybe stop handing out these awards at the end of each review so at least the reviewing seems more legit and less BS? (Editor tagged @btarunr)




I mean, who wants to buy an Xbox adapter in order to use a $150 headset on their PC...? No one on a PC tech site, I assume. (no need to pick up on the other 3 negatives really; even if the "limited connectivity" of a wireless, $150 product, is highly amusing)

The award badge is "explained" in the conclusion.

TL;DR: this is a great Xbox gaming headset and as such, it absolutely deserves the award. For a PC gaming headset - look elsewhere.

Reviewing a (mainly) console product, seems kind of redundant on a mainly PC-orientated site... no? I know Corsair frown upon samples being refused review - or maybe even at a negative/not so glowing result at the end of said review - but come on eh?


The award badge has been awarded without much sense to the award... as it most certainly cannot be recommended for the core of TPU users, even by your own words @Inle.





The review was good as ever.. the badge at the end, not so much.

i dunno, seems ok for PC site to review it. i'm sure many here also own consoles, with PC parts going sky high in price and rock bottom in availability a nextgen console seem like amazing value. even PC+xbox setup is not as redundant as it looks, PC for light indies/multiplayer, xbox for gamepass or nextgen multiplats. not many PCs can run cyberpunk at 1440p60 even on a preset comparable to xbox one x.
