Full description and specifications

One 3.5mm headset for PC, PlayStation, Xbox and phone, with a USB adapter that adds Dolby Audio 7.1 on PC and Mac.

Quick Specs

  • 50mm neodymium drivers, 20Hz – 20kHz
  • 3.5mm jack, plus USB surround adapter
  • Dolby Audio 7.1 via iCUE on PC and Mac
  • Omni-directional flip-to-mute mic
  • 273g, 1.8m cable

A light, wired all-rounder

The HS55 SURROUND is a straightforward wired headset at 273g, light enough for long sessions, with memory foam leatherette ear cups and an adjustable headband. The 3.5mm jack means it works with almost anything: a PC, a PS4 or PS5 controller, an Xbox controller or a phone. On PC and Mac, plug in the included USB adapter and CORSAIR iCUE unlocks Dolby Audio 7.1 surround, custom EQ and sidetone. The omni-directional mic is Discord Certified and mutes when you flip it up, and a volume roller on the ear cup saves reaching for the keyboard.

What it doesn't do

There's no wireless and no lighting, which is how it hits this price. Surround only works through the USB adapter with iCUE on PC or Mac; on consoles and phones it's standard stereo. The mic isn't detachable. Leatherette ear cups block noise well but get warm in a South African summer compared with fabric pads. If you want to move around the room or game on the couch, a wireless model like the HS65 is the better buy.

Questions

Before you buy

Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
