hi I'm welcome to hardware box I'm your host Matt and today we're going to be taking a look at Corsair gaming's h 1500 USB headset the H 1500 is the cheap of the two new USB headsets being offered under the cause they're gaming brand the other being the while it's aged 2100 from the spec sheet it pleases the apart from the H 1500 being wired that you were very similar products let's open up the box and take a look at so first up get a couple of sticker seals to cut through and start unboxing five to sell so couple layers of protection slide the head through the soap our course has gone some pretty bold bumblebee coloring black yellow the left side miss you know the cardboard USB cable use a twist tie everybody's favorite tool unwrapped it's very twisted get there eventually box to the side the plastic bag coming the other headband use the cable itself so there's the USB controls you've got volume down by your mum just mute in the middle pretty nice even bit of a rubber finish to the buttons themselves through a mesh covering on the USB cable understood detective rubberized cap might get a little plastic wrapped around it to slide up there we are I'm sure some out comfort wise I found their hedge 1500 pretty good here coverings a mesh which is popping up my favorite but if you do like the mesh and the inter probably right up your alley probably the main thing I did like is that the earpiece is nice and large I absolutely hate it when part of the cup is squashing my ears so that was a real plus for me that my newsfeed Rockets live volume wise they were very loud out hit from and actually found myself usually playing with about forty percent which was plenty I can't imagine anyone left wanting more volume from these headphones as the ear carp is mesh there was quite a lot of sound leakage from his headset so you're looking for loud headphones you can listen doing the same is up someone's sleeping then your mama look elsewhere the microphone is about where to expect from mid-range headset I mean I think any complaints or compliments from anyone on skype but uh yeah I mean it's it's nicely in front of your mouth I didn't have time but stupidly close which was good and it wasn't actually addition of just so pretty mid-range pretty standard so the big push by Corsair gaming with these with this headset it was the art 7.1 surround now obviously I mean you're never going to get anything close to sitting in your living room with real 7.1 surround but also do it pretty well but some of the other gaming headsets I've heard suit like situational awareness that you get is is a bit of an advantage in some games so it's probably worth having although in course has done a pretty good job at 7.10 audio you should dance put me off this headset a simple reason that it's not optional while you can disable the 7.1 audio you can't get away from the fact that you forced you to shave USB sound it simply is impossible to use a higher rate into screen sound card of course I made the USB optional by using an adapter I would have much preferred this headset the would have been able to use my sound card for example lunch tech did this with a g4 xxx headset which featured audio jacks for the USB mic which you'd either be connected to the supply and 7.1 sound or to your pre-existing sound card thanks for tuning in to another episode of hardware box I'm your host Matt this has been the course a gaming edge 1500 gaming headset don't forget to hit like and subscribe over now
