Our Verdict

Corsair HS60

Corsair HS60 PRO SURROUND

The Corsair HS60 are better wired gaming headphones than the Corsair HS60 PRO SURROUND. The regular HS60 have a better-balanced sound profile, with much less bass, have less distortion, lower wired latency via their USB adapter, and a better-performing microphone. On the other hand, the PRO have thicker padding on the ear cups, and fans of genres like EDM or hip-hop may prefer their more bass-heavy sound profile.
