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

CORSAIR UTILITY ENGINE

Go to corsair.com/support/downloads to download the CORSAIR Utility Engine (‘CUE’) Software.

Using CUE software will enable the full feature set of the HS60 SURROUND headset.

  • Install the software on a PC running Windows 7, 8, or 10
  • After installation is complete, reboot your PC and launch CUE.

You can use it to

  • Select and customize audio equalizer (EQ) settings.
  • Adjust the microphone input volume.
  • Set 7.1 surround sound on or off.

The software’s built-in documentation explains how to use the HS60 SURROUND headset’s features in greater detail.

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.

Enjoy your CORSAIR HS60 SURROUND headset! If you have any questions or comments, see the back panel of this guide for contact information.
