GETTING STARTED
HS60 SURROUND is a multi-platform headset that operates in two audio modes: Stereo and 7.1 surround sound. In stereo mode, you can connect the 3.5mm jack into any PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, XBOX One*, Nintendo Switch or mobile device. The included 7.1 surround sound USB adapter enables virtual 7.1 surround sound on a PC.
Remember that powering the 7.1 surround sound USB adapter requires a high-power (USB 2.0 or better) port. Some USB ports on older keyboards and monitors do not support high-power devices.
Place the headset on your head and adjust the headband for a comfortable fit. The plush memory foam ear pads enable the CORSAIR HS60 SURROUND headset to fit comfortably, so you can play for hours without fatigue.
*May require a Microsoft adapter sold separately

GENERAL TIPS
For the best audio performance
- Download the CORSAIR Utility Engine software from corsair.com/support/downloads.
- Don’t be afraid to use the software equalizer to adjust the audio quality to your liking. EQ presets have been provided for popular gaming and media types.
Prolonged listening at high volumes may adversely affect your hearing. Take breaks between sessions and always begin with the volume at the lowest possible level before increasing.
ADJUSTMENT
As with any audio product, reduce the volume before trying it with an audio source for the first time.
You can adjust the volume with
- The volume controller is on the headset at the bottom corner of your left earcup.
- The standard Windows audio controller can also be used to adjust volume.
- Once an audio source is playing, set the volume to a comfortable level.
MICROPHONE ADJUSTMENT
Your new HS60 SURROUND headset features a high performance “unidirectional” microphone designed to reject noise other than your voice, but it must be pointed directly at your mouth to function correctly.
- Bend the flexible microphone boom to best fit near the left corner of your mouth.
- We’ve found that about a 30 degree bend is a good place to start, but feel free to increase or decrease this if your mic is too loud or too soft.
