Corsair Vengeance 1300 Gaming Headset Review (Hardware, PC)

There are a few specific things I want to point out here. First off, the braided cable is over 9 feet long! This is incredibly nice for the simple fact that you can not only use them when sitting at a traditional desk, but with the long cable the Corsair Vengeance 1300 allows you to use them with your HTPC setup (when you are sitting on your couch looking at your big screen TV). The second is the 50mm drivers are larger thatn what you get in most headsets. This increase in size gives a solid crisp sound that is unmatched by comparable headsets.

Vengeance 1300 Performance

I played several games as well as listened to many songs and movies with this headset. The sound is very pleasing to the ears. With the 3.5mm connectors, the Corsair Vengeance 1300 will work well with any PC, but there is a substantial improvement to sound quality when using an after-market sound card.

Overall, I found the Corsair Vengeance 1300 to be quite nice when gaming, but was a little disappointed when listening to music. I listen to a lot of Hard Rock music by lesser known artists like “Disciple” and “We As Human”. When I played a few tracks by these bands I regrettably found that the low ends were lacking. The Corsair Vengeance 1300 just didn’t push the bass like I want them to do. While this is easy to correct if you have an after-market sound card that will allow you to push the low end a little farther, people using onboard sound may want to take note of this before purchasing. For most applications, this is a minor problem that won’t affect the quality, but for listening to music with a lot of bass this could be a disappointment.
