Corsair Vengeance 1300 Gaming Headset Review (Hardware, PC)

Vengeance 1300 Usability

I enjoyed using these for many different applications. In both Steam Chat and Teamspeak, the mic picked up my voice flawlessly and cut out a lot of background noise. They have come in handy while using Skype as well. And when you don’t need it, the mic boom tucks out of the way nicely.

The synthetic leather pads on the ear cups are filled with super comfy memory foam that really snuffs out any distracting background noise. It also allows you to game for hours without the “Removal headache” that you get from cheaper headsets. And with the swivel side bands, the Corsair Vengeance 1300 retain all of their comfort when you have to remove them from just one ear so you can listen to people around you.

Overall

Corsair’s Vengeance series is really shaping up to be a winner in my book. The Vengeance 1300 not only look great, but sound great. I will again note though, that this headset performed a lot better when I hooked it up to a system with a good sound card. 

If you have a sound card and want a quality piece of head gear, the Corsair Vengeance 1300 is the way to go. Coming in at $79.99 MSRP you definitely get your money’s worth. But if you are using the onboard sound, I recommend that you add an extra $20 and pick up the Vengeance 1500 for their 7.1 surround sound and better sounding bass.
