Once I had it set up, I had only one desire, to put the Corsair Vengeance 1500 to the test in Battlefield 3.
After just one game, I knew for a fact that the Vengeance 1500 was the best headset I had ever used. The unidirectional mic made my voice come across with perfect clarity and the sound was indescribable. But since this is a review, I will do my best to describe something that every gamer should experience.
Making my march across the map in Battlefield 3, I could hear the sounds of bullets flying in every direction. Grenades that blew up nearby not only produced an initial sound, but the lingering noise that you would expect to hear. The sound was so immersive that at times I forgot that I was playing a video game. Best of all, I could hear the footsteps of enemies as they tried to sneak up behind me and I knew exactly where they were. This gave me a competitive edge and I never got knifed while wearing the 1500s.
Corsair Vengeance 1500 Overall
In the end, when I tried to make a list of pros and cons, I could only come up with good things to say about the Vengeance 1500s.
Corsair Vengeance 1500 Pros
- 7.1 surround sound on ANY PC and no clunky control box
- Immersive sound produced with perfect precision
- Beautiful design the draws the attention of those around you
- Swivel sides that make the headphone fold flat for easy travel
- Comfortable enough to wear during those extra long gaming sessions
I have owned dozens of headsets in the past, and I have 5 headsets in my home at this very moment. All of them have been pushed to the side and now the Corsair Vengeance 1500 is the only headset I use.
The Corsair Vengeance 1500 has an MSRP of $99.99. That’s only $20 more than the 1300 for ahuge increase in sound quality. If you want the best quality and the cheapest price, my recommendation to all my friends will be the Vengeance 1500.
