Lightweight stereo headset for long sessions

The Corsair HS55 Stereo is a wired gaming headset built for all-day comfort. At 273 g it sits lightly on the head thanks to an adjustable headband and memory-foam leatherette ear cups. A 3.5 mm plug connects directly to controllers, laptops or desktop front panels without extra adapters. The omnidirectional flip-to-mute microphone stays out of the way when not needed.

50 mm drivers with 20 Hz to 20 kHz response

Custom-tuned 50 mm neodymium drivers cover the full audible range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz at 32 Ohm impedance. They reproduce game soundtracks, footsteps and voice chat clearly at typical mobile and PC output levels. Bass-heavy tracks or very quiet passages may reveal the limits of the stereo presentation and the fixed 32 Ohm load.

Durable frame with on-ear controls

The over-the-head construction uses a lightweight yet sturdy frame designed for daily wear. A 5.91 ft cable provides enough reach for desk or living-room setups without excess slack. On-ear volume roller and flip-to-mute mic give immediate tactile control without hunting for software windows. The fixed 3.5 mm connector means no battery charging and no wireless latency.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5 mm plug work with my older controller that only has a single headset jack?

Yes, the 3.5 mm four-pole connector carries both stereo output and the microphone signal in one plug, so it fits the single combo jack found on most controllers and laptops.

How can I confirm the 50 mm drivers are reproducing the full 20 Hz to 20 kHz range after I plug it in?

Play a frequency-sweep test tone; you should hear continuous output from the lowest bass up to the highest treble without gaps or distortion.

Does the box include a splitter cable for PCs with separate headphone and microphone sockets?

No, only the headset with its fixed 5.91 ft cable is supplied; a 3.5 mm Y-splitter must be purchased separately if your PC uses two separate ports.
