Our Verdict
Corsair HS70 Wireless
Corsair HS70 Bluetooth
The Corsair HS70 Wireless and the Corsair HS70 Bluetooth have different strengths and depending on your usage, you may prefer one over the other. The Wireless are better for wireless gaming as they use a wireless USB dongle that has low latency. While their battery life doesn't last as long as the Bluetooth, they have an auto-off timer. However, the Bluetooth are better for wired gaming as they can be used with either their 1/8" TRRS or wired USB dongle cable. Their mic offers a better overall performance, and they support Bluetooth, which makes them a little more versatile.
