Corsair Vengeance 1100 Communication Headset 40MM Driver USB + Analog

Comment:
good enough headphones for the price paid, of course you cant compare these to sennheisers or else they would go out of business, it's not that comfortable if you wear for long hours though

Comment:
This Headset is not worth the retail value of $40, I would suggest the price to be around $25 or $30. The headsets are great but all the sound escapes and disturbs people around me. If you are a budget headset buyer and you want superior quality REAL gaming Headsets then I suggest the Gamecom 780, for only $10 more it is a bang for the buck.

Bought these on sale ($5 AR), and here is my user experience with this headset when used with PC, tablet and PS3. First off, the heeadset does sound pretty good given how cheap it was. Both the speakers and mic sound clear. I tried this with analog and the USB adaptor and both sound fine on a PC. The USB adaptor does not really work with a PS3, in that if you plug it in the PS3 will notice it, however it wont allow for both game sound and voip simultaneously, basically it will give you only voip. It may be possible to get both game sound and voip, if you obtain an analog headphone Y splitter to plug the headphones both into the usb adaptor and back output of the ps3 at the same time. Personally i just used an old Triton PS3 adaptor from a dead Triton headset and plugged the headsets analog ports into it to test it out on my PS3. The main issue i have with the headset is that its not very comfortable for long term use. Eventually after a few minutes the headset starts to pinch your ears to the point that you will want to take them off. There is zero adjustment on the fit, it assumes one size fits all. I have what would be considered a normal size adult head, and i have used around the back headsets before with no issues, this corsair headset is the first one that has pinched my ears, and for this reason i would avoid buying these as a primary headset. Having said that I still think that its a good cheap headset for short term use.

It's an ok product but for 5 bucks no regrets here. The fit isn't the best, it feels like it's going to tilt off the back of my head. For some reason I can't get audio on youtube videos when I plug it in. But overall, for 5 bucks, not much complaint here. It does the job kinda. I'm using it at work for teleconferencing at desk.

I have no idea how Linus can wear them in the video. They do not even reach my ears from the back. Like 1" short. No chance from the top either as there are no extensions. Total waste of $

I bought these to use with my laptop while away from home. I have been happy with the sound quality and the build is good. When on sale they are a must buy.

I've had 2 of these now in a period of 3 weeks, the first pair broke just at the end of the curve behind the ear inside of 3 days. NCIX was wonderful and exchanged it for another pair which lasted about 2 weeks before breaking in exactly the same spot. Seriously Corsair get your Quality Control looking at these things. Two of my friends have had similar experiences with these things snapping in the same spot. Would never buy these again.

Comment:
The plastic on the side with the microphone broke and the wires are exposed it broke just by putting them on. I guess there was just too much stress on em from repeated on and off. Also many people have had them break on them on the first day or within weeks. I would only suggest to pick them up on a sale like I did and with a gift card as well so yeah invest in a sturdier pair of headset or stick with these and just be extra careful.

A little bit disappointed in the comfort of these headphones. After wearing them for a while I feel pinching on my ears, which I see from other reviews isn't uncommon. Happy with the sound quality and microphone, but could be more comfortable. I think that adding a section of the same adjustable material they used for the microphone to the headphone area would make this much more comfortable for many more users.

Comment:
great headset overall for the price I think it worth more than 40 only thing it may be uncomfortable for some people

Comment:
The sound quality is great with a very good range for the price. however, the head band is made of plastic and cannot handle a lot of stress. Mine broke on both sides of the headband after two weeks but Im still keeping it because its still works after some taping. I would not purchase this again even if it has good audio because of how flimsy it is.

Comment:
These headphones look very cool, and have a lot of nice features like both USB and analogue connectors, but that being said they are very uncomfortable. I don't know if they're made for people with tiny ears or something but they put a vice grip on mine and they hurt really bad after abour an hour or two of use. I'd recommend steering way clear of these for anything other than very light, infrequent use.

Comment:
2 hours after my order came in I started experiencing pain on the top of both my ears. These headphones are not meant for long gaming stints. The sound quality is fine, and the microphone works well, however that's where the good ends. After 4 days this headset snapped on the right side, above the earphone. I am not careless with my equipment, nor do I throw things around. I merely went to put them on like any other day and they snapped. My head is a normal size, if not smaller than average, so I am stuck trying to figure this out.I wholly suggest skipping these if you are looking for a headset, at this price Corsair should be ashamed.

Very happy with the purchase. I've had Logitech before. My older logitech looks like crap in front of this. I believe this is the best headphone in this price range. I just tested it on Mac OSX Lion. I plugged in the usb and instantly was detected by Lion. I still haven't tested it in windows or linux I will do that later. Besides the superior sound quality the best thing about it is the dual mode. Can be used with its own sound card through usb or you can connect directly to your computers analog connections. I haven't tested it extensively cause I just got it today. Once I use it for couple of days. I will try to post my experience with it. This is my first impression of the product. I hope it stays positive in the long run.
