    Premium RGB Gaming Headset Stand

    Totally unnecessary, geeky and super-gaudy as a product, but my mouse cursor keeps finding it's way over the Add to Cart button. Must be that that bug in my Intel CPU.

      You can see why I didn't put Premium or Gaming in the title. I just knew someone would say something.

    The most telling issue with this is the lack of audio specs, chipset etc.

      But it has "RGB Premium" in its name, so it must be good!

      Who cares about audio specs? This is about lighting effects.

        I haven't heard of an rgb premium dac. Is it good?

        I'm assuming the processing needs to convert to digital, process, then convert back to analogue. Great way to ruin your sound.

    Does the 7.1 surround sound work with any headphone, or just for headsets?

  • congo on 05/01/2018 - 18:08

    From the reviews, the sound card is average.

    • Diji1 on 05/01/2018 - 18:55

      The problem virtual surround has is the shape of the users ear determines whether it works or not. So it genuinely didn't work for those reviewers most likely.

      There are many competing virtual surround systems but none that work for all people. Except possibly Dolby Atmos for Headphones, I've yet to come across anyone saying Overwatch surround wasn't anything but amazing but YMMV.

      If Corsair's algorithm doesn't work for your ear shape you can use EqualizerAPO to convert surround to binaural stereo using a HTRF that works for your head shape.

      Virtual surround and true 7.1 headphones are a real thing and they both work contrary to some opinions.

      • deadpoet on 05/01/2018 - 19:18

        Virtual surround

        I've never had a good experience with virtual surround headphones — the sound just seems floaty and "all around you" rather than "oh, it's coming from behind me" or "that noise is to my rear left". Maybe I'm just overly picky.

        • garage sale on 05/01/2018 - 19:55

          key word is real surround sound, some cards try to emulate it via 2 speaker headphones, some headphones are multiple speakers in left and right.

          my son has the cheap options, emulates, but hey, he has never hard real surround sound except at the cinema so know no better.

        • lostn on 06/01/2018 - 23:12

          @garage sale:

          Virtual 7.1 is better than true 7.1.

          Virtual 7.1 has two large drivers. If you're getting true 7.1, you're going to get 7 tiny drivers, and any audiophile will tell you that smaller drivers sound worse in every way. You can get the same effect with 2.0.

    For all those times when the pretty colours on your monitor, case, keyboard and mouse just aren't distracting enough. Introducing the Corsair F*&king Eyesore.

    Forget that boring old headphone stand - now, they come with C O L O U R S. You want red? No problem son, we got red. You want blue? Sheet, we got you covered. You want pink? What are you, some kind of commie? Nah, we got you too, fam.

      Corsair's stuff doesn't break anywhere near as often, and is nowhere near as overpriced. Razer are mostly just a marketing company, like Bose.

      • exit on 06/01/2018 - 01:25

        Corsair markets a ton too. And a lot of Corsair products have been absolutely dog crap in the past too

        keyboards: plenty of led issues. early k70s had leds gradually but rapidly all die out.

        mouse (read reviews) :https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Raptor-M30-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B00CXI0BAG
        Their new mice seem to be appealing to rgb and dpi battles. NONE of their mice is appealing to non-casual fps gamers.

        Headsets: typical overpriced gaming garbage

        mousepads: their mousepads are not even relevant.

        • wrekt on 06/01/2018 - 19:41

          I have a K70 purchased around 2013-ish - all LEDS still work. Just sayyin.

    This isn’t a bargain. The Australian price is just mega inflated

    • Clear on 05/01/2018 - 21:38

      Where is it cheaper available to Australians? Until then this is a bargain as it's the cheapest available.

      Even the Amazon listing is on sale.

      • exit on 05/01/2018 - 22:46

        LOL, everything is always 'on sale' on amazon. Just because the price has dropped since it was released, does not mean that it is on sale. The price will probably not even go back up ever.

        It isn't cheaper elsewhere to Australians but that was not my point. My point is that the Australian retail prices for this product are just mega inflated. The Amazon price is just the normal price of the product.

        Not a bargain.

        This post is misleading.

        • Clear on 05/01/2018 - 22:52

          Even then it's the cheapest price available to Australia. That's the definition of a bargain on this website. Unless you can find it cheaper elsewhere.

        • exit on 05/01/2018 - 23:50

          @Clear: So if the iPhone X is in short supply and out of stock at Apple store and the only places selling it are selling it for $2500, then the next day you see a store selling it for $1900 (around normal price), would you post it as a 'bargain'?

          Edit: In Australia, someone along the distributing/supplying chain is making a killing by selling an inflated priced product. Just because someone else may be selling it cheaper at its usual price, does not mean it is a bargain. This is precisely why stores can get away with advertising a '50% off sale' all year round and have it still attract customers.

    (Specifically, the Blue gamer bundle that was on here haha)

    • lostn on 08/01/2018 - 15:27

      It has a USB port, but I'm not sure if it's for charging only, or a passthrough.

  • virtual81 on 07/01/2018 - 12:50

    I've spent 10 minutes looking at this and still don't get it.

    Does it plug into an existing sound card with the "Built-in 3.5mm analog input enables full range Stereo or 7.1 Surround sound for an immersive, multi-channel Audio experience"
    If so where is the output?

    I assume Amazon have stuffed that up and that actually is the output.

    Also where do you plug a mic into?

    What DAC has it got?

    • lostn on 08/01/2018 - 15:26

      If it has its own DAC, it will plug in via USB.

      • virtual81 on 08/01/2018 - 15:40

        If…..
        I know how DACs work, but the specs are quite likely wrong on Amazon and not much more helpful @ Corsair.
        Only 1 x 3.5mm socket is visible on the unit, so no separate phones / mic sockets.
        It might be a TRRS connector, but again, specs are vague.

        It's easier just to avoid buying audio gear from PC parts companies.

        • DanielR on 09/01/2018 - 11:20

          that is what I am trying to figure out where is the mic input?? I can't find a good amount of specs and how to on this
