The Corsair HS75 XB WIRELESS are gaming headphones fully compatible with the Xbox One via Xbox Wireless. These comfortable, well-built headphones have a bass-heavy sound profile that adds an extra boom and punch to action-packed video games. They're also compatible with the Dolby Atmos app, which lets you access surround sound features and some sound customization options. They also have four built-in EQ presets accessible when you click on their volume wheel. They don't isolate against a lot of background noises, however. On the upside, their detachable boom microphone transmits your voice clearly to your teammates.
Our Verdict
The Corsair HS75 XB are fair for neutral sound. While their bass-heavy sound profile may be overwhelming for some listeners, they have a balanced mid-range suitable for listening to vocal-centric content. However, their treble range lacks some detail and airiness. You can EQ their sound using the Dolby Atmos app or by using one of the four EQ presets available when you click on their volume wheel.
- Compatible with Dolby Atmos app.
- Inconsistent bass and treble delivery.
The Corsair HS75 XB are inadequate for commute and travel. You can wear them comfortably for long listening sessions, and their over 21-hour continuous battery life is suitable for long international flights. However, they need an adapter to use with PCs that don't support Xbox Wireless, which isn't very portable. They don't have Bluetooth or an audio cable, so you can't connect them to your phone. Also, they don't isolate against a lot of background noise, meaning you may hear plane and bus engines or chatter from other passengers.
- Comfortable fit.
- Poor noise isolation.
- Bulky design.
The Corsair HS75 XB are mediocre for sports and fitness. While they're stable enough for casual listening sessions, they aren't designed for the gym, and they may fall off your head during your workout. They're comfortable and well-built, but they need an adapter to use with PCs that don't support Xbox Wireless, so they aren't very portable. They don't have Bluetooth or an audio cable, so you can't connect them to your phone.
- Comfortable fit.
- Not stable enough for exercise.
The Corsair HS75 XB are middling for office use. They're comfortable, and their over 21-hour continuous battery life should be enough to get you through multiple workdays. However, they leak a bit of noise, which can distract coworkers in a quiet office. Also, they don't block out a lot of background noises, so you may hear coworkers chattering nearby. If your PC doesn't support Xbox Wireless, you may need an adapter if you want to listen to audio from it.
- Comfortable fit.
- Poor noise isolation.
- Leak some noise.
The Corsair HS75 XB are decent for wireless gaming. They're comfortable enough for long gaming sessions and have low latency over an Xbox Wireless connection.

Their bass-heavy sound profile can bring out thumps and rumbles in action-packed scenes, but it may be overwhelming for some listeners.
- Compatible with Dolby Atmos app.
- Comfortable fit.
- Inconsistent bass and treble delivery.
- Not compatible with PS4.
