284g and a single 3.5mm plug — the lightest way onto Dolby 7.1 surround, and it works on every console you own.
Quick Specs
- Dolby Audio 7.1 virtual surround on PC and Mac via the included USB adapter
- 50mm drivers, 20Hz–20kHz, 114dB sensitivity, 32Ω at 1kHz
- 284g with memory foam leatherette ear pads
- Single 3.5mm connector — PC, Mac, PS4, PS5, Xbox, Switch and mobile
- Fixed omni-directional boom microphone
The lightest headset in the range
At 284g the HS55 Surround is lighter than most wired headsets and considerably lighter than anything with a battery in it. Combined with memory foam leatherette pads, that is what makes it viable for a full evening rather than two hours. The 50mm drivers cover 20Hz–20kHz at 114dB sensitivity into 32Ω, which means a phone or a controller jack drives them properly — no amplifier, no USB sound card required for basic stereo.
Surround when you want it, plug-and-play when you do not
The included USB adapter unlocks Dolby Audio 7.1 virtual surround on PC and Mac, which is the mode worth using for competitive shooters where knowing the direction of a footstep matters more than tonal accuracy. On console, you pull the adapter and use the 3.5mm connector directly — PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch all work off the controller jack with no dongle or pairing. The boom mic is fixed rather than detachable, so this is a headset that always looks like a gaming headset; if you want something that doubles as street headphones, look at the detachable-mic models.
