Our Verdict
Corsair HS50
SteelSeries Arctis 1
The Corsair HS50 and the SteelSeries Arctis 1 are two decent gaming headphones that have different strengths. The Corsair have a more neutral sound profile, are noticeably better-built, and feel more durable. Some may also prefer their large cups and find the padding to be more comfortable. On the other hand, the microphone of the SteelSeries is noticeably better and sounds clearer. If you play single player games and don’t need a boom microphone, get the Corsair.
