help Corsair HS55 Stereo FAQ

Does the Corsair HS55 Stereo work on consoles like PS5, Xbox Series X, and Switch, or is it PC-only?

Because it uses a wired 3.5mm connection rather than a USB dongle, the HS55 Stereo plugs into the headphone jack on PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch controllers as well as PCs and mobile devices. It's a stereo headset, so you get standard stereo audio rather than simulated surround on every platform.

Is the microphone on the Corsair HS55 Stereo detachable or fixed?

The HS55 Stereo ships with a detachable, noise-canceling boom microphone, so you can remove it entirely for music, movies, or travel. Corsair positions the mic for clear team chat without the cost of a broadcast-grade mic.

Can I adjust the EQ on the HS55 Stereo through Corsair iCUE?

Yes, the headset is supported by Corsair's iCUE software on PC, where you can tweak equalizer presets for games or music. Console players won't get that customization, since iCUE only runs on Windows.

How much cheaper is the HS55 Stereo than the HS55 Wireless?

The wired HS55 Stereo typically sells for around $50, while the HS55 Wireless — which adds a 2.4GHz dongle and Bluetooth — generally costs roughly double. If you sit close to your PC or console, the Stereo saves you real money for similar 50mm-driver audio.
