When talking about these the new Corsair HS35 V2 and HS35 Surround V2, connoisseurs of the Milpicas catalog immediately think of the first generation of these headphones, which was introduced in July 2019 and which we were able to test in depth a few weeks later. An analysis that allowed us to confirm the feeling that has been transmitted to us since its launch, that Corsair has managed to achieve a sensational balance with headphones that provide great sound quality, and at a very competitive price. .

Will this second generation be able to provide an evolution with regard to the first, but at the same time maintain the excellent commitment to the quality-price ratio of its predecessor?

Of course, here we find a big difference between the two models, and that’s it The Corsair HS35 Surround v2 includes a PC-compatible USB adapter (Windows and Mac), providing 7.1 positional sound which we can manage through the Corsair iCue software.

Both models have 50mm neodymium drivers, designed specifically for the Corsair H35 v2, capable of both stereo signal and virtual surround sound reproduction (in the case of the Surround version), and its design has been designed with long sessions of use in mind, whether you’re consuming content or, mainly, gaming. For this purpose, the pads are covered with a fairly soft fabric and the headband is of the floating type.

Since we are talking about headphones specifically aimed at the gaming ecosystem, they have with omnidirectional microphone with flexible fixation adjust its orientation and also include a volume control and a button to mute the capture, which is a little more than necessary when we play over the Internet and for whatever reason need to “mute” quickly and reliably.
