Reddit reviews Corsair H2100 Dolby 7.1 Wireless Gaming Headset (CA-9011127-NA)

Guest or Regular: I don't really care, but since I'm on quite frequently I'd have to say regular.

User Name/Other Names: U WOT M8 is fine, but I don't mind being called by my real name.

Age Group: 0-15

Reasons for Wanting to Join: My brother committed suicide after not being able to join a podcast group, and my mother soon followed suit. Her last words to me were "please U WOT M8, honor our family and join a podcast group."

But seriously, I think it would be fun and I would like to discuss things with people for real instead of starting Nisekoi or F/SN flame wars like I usually do.

Past Discussion/Analysis/Review: I have two public reviews up on MAL, and at one time I had 5. However, I felt that they weren't really up to my standards so I took them down.

The headset I'm using if anyone's wondering

I recommend Logitech g930 or Corsair because they seem to be the most reliable and best value right now. You can get Creative wireless headsets for around the same price but they have much worse sound quality. You can also get very slightly better sounding wireless headphones for about 2-3x the price if you think it's worth it.

I've been using Corsair H2100 for the past few years. Great build quality, sound (7.1!) and comfort. The ear pads material is REALLY good. They have in-built mic and a volume adjustment. Battery lasts about 10 hours (you can use the headset while it's charging), and the signal range is also very good.

EDIT: They're around $100 on Amazon

Wait, not so fast! Here's a good headset

I have it, sure it's a 'gaming' headset but the quality is still pretty good and it has a wireless USB adapter. It gets charged with Micro USB and comes with a really long cord. Also, you'd be suprised how much surround sound helps in fps games. It's like borderline wall hacks :/.

I bought a Corsair Vengeance 2000, and then a Vengeance 2100 after the band-earcup joint broke on my 2000s. I RMA'ed the first 2000 and ended up with two 2100s. I use one at work and one at home. I really enjoy the wireless freedom even if I have to plug it in sometimes. The mic is solid, the audio is great (music or games, crisp and solid bass), comfortable for long periods of wear, and it's pretty reasonably priced when it's on sale. The nonrefurbished one goes on sale for $100. I recommend them, 5/5 in my personal experience.

Specs are 40 ft range, 10hrs battery life. Here's two reviews from trusted sources, I linked to the final pages (conclusions) for easier reading, but jump through if you're curious.

The 2100 line was replaced with the H2100s. Those are $120 at NCIX, and $110 (2 in stock) at Amazon: http://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-Gaming-.../dp/B00N803C7W

Lol [Corsair Gaming H2100 Dolby 7.1 Wireless Gaming Headset ] (https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Gaming-Wireless-Headset-CA-9011127-NA/dp/B00N803C7W/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1479155039&sr=8-8&keywords=corsair%2Bheadphones&th=1) these were for my computer only

• Budget - Under $100 preferably, but if you find something that fits my requirements under $200 please post it.<br />

• Source - Desktop (no sound card) and Macbook Pro
  
• Requirements for Isolation - none
  
• Preferred Type of Headphone - Full-sized
  
• Preferred tonal balance - balanced or bass-heavy
  
• Past headphones - I've been using a Plantronics Gamecom 780 for three years, and they have been fantastic. I can hear where people are coming from in games and all the music/shows/movies I listen to sound incredible.
  
• Preferred Music - Nightcore. That's all I've been listening to lately, the fast tempo keeps me pumped while studying.
  Example
  
  The two biggest things I want are for it to be wireless and have a mic. I currently have my sights set on Corsair's H2100; all the reviews I've read say it is incredible for Battlefield 4 (which I have over 400 hours in) and reasonably comfortable. Their software appears to allow a high level of customization as well. Many customers have had problems with it, though, so if I purchase it I will go through Newegg since I have had a 100% success rate at returning defective products with a full refund and free shipping.

If you want wireless these I hear are good

Well you said Wireless with a Mic: Corsair H2100

i'm very happy with this corsair one but its not on that list. http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Gaming-Wireless-Headset-CA-9011127-NA/dp/B00N803C7W

also i paid closer to 60 for it

Sorry this will be a lot of information, but when you're buying something that sits on your ears for hours at a time, you want something that feels good.

Newegg has the Gamecom 780 on sale right now for 28 bucks. They usually float around 50-60 bucks so it's a really good deal. The only problem with them is they're not very drop friendly as they're plastic. The audio and mic quality are amazing for the price though.

If wireless is more his speed a Corsair H2100 is in your price range or a Logitech G930. I just recently bought a Corsair VOID on sale for 95 bucks and it was the best decision I've made in a long time, best wireless headset I've used. (but normal price is about 120)

Links:

Gamecom 780 priced 27.99

Corsair H2100 priced 99.99

Logitech G930 priced 84.36

Corsair VOID wireless priced 129.99

Pro's and Cons:

Gamecom 780

• Pro: One of the best gaming headsets in the $50 range.
  
• Pro: Easy to setup software, buttons on headset are easy to reach and use
  
• Con: Very prone to breaking, if they fall the wrong way, they're toast
  
• Con: Wired, I belive a 6 foot cable. Very limiting in distance (if you buy one of these buy a USB extension as well)
  
  Corsair H2100
  
  
• Pro: Very good entry wireless headset, clear mic audio and decent sound quality
  
• Pro: Wireless so no cables in the way
  
• Con: Battery life
  
• Con: Distance is short before cutout
  
  Logitech G930
  
  
• Pro: Easy to use and reliable
  
• Pro: Good range on headset (longer than H2100 and roughly same as VOID)
  
• Pro: Build quality is nice, audio quality is decent
  
• Con: Wireless receivers die before the headset does (will start with randomly dropping connection)
  
• Con: Mic gets white noise in it
  
• Con: Not very loud/Charge doesn't last long
  
  Corsair VOID RGB
  
  
• Pro: Strong build quality, clear mic, great battery life
  
• Pro: Good quality audio, can go very loud, bass drivers are decent
  
• Pro: Long range, Similar to G930
  
• Con: Software interferes with some other programs currently, Corsair is working on a fix (The headset does not require the software, it is just used to control simulated surround sound and lighting)
  
• Con: Feels loose on your head, the mesh fabric makes it slide against your hair
  
• Con: Users have reported turning on/off the headset can sometimes put the headset into a failed mode, and require being plugged into the computer to fix (i have not experienced this and could have been fixed in a firmware update already)

I mean I've got the 5.1 going via the home theater setup, but when I'm racing against others usually I'm on my Corsair H2100s anyway. I'd love to mount speakers to it and such, but I want to keep it light enough to drag into the corner when I'm not using it.

Now graphics on the other hand.... A guy at work has offered to lend me his Rift DK2 for a bit now that I've completed my rig, so I'll be excited to see how it compares to triple screens.

For 7.1 headphones the bass is pretty deep. For gaming? Footsteps are super amped. It makes it so much easier to hear people in CS GO. I'd put it on a 8/10 sound wise. Obviously you could get better sound for cheaper if you didn't want the wireless. Personally, there's nothing quite like continuing a conversation on skype while you make yourself a snack. I loathe the new color scheme and tramp stamp corsair wants to do. It sucks. Here's mine. and here's it with the new "gamer" logo. I should also mention the battery life is about 8ish hours. They can be on while charging if need be.

Overall, if you're looking for a decent pair of headphones to game and do some other stuff with....I'd recommend them. They are solidly built. Plus, they come with a great warranty through Corsair and Amazon has a fantastic return policy if you don't end up liking them. They lasted much longer than my Steelseries. I'll tell you that.

You might want to look at Corsair's H2100 wireless headset.

And yes I am biased towards it because that's the one I use.

Best Buy and Amazon have the Logitech G930 for $69.99 ($90 off list price) and the Corsair H2100 for $59.99 ($40 off list price) right now. Both are wireless and 7.1.

Wireless (and headsets in general) aren't ideal, but personally, I'm willing to trade some sound quality for the convenience.

I am very satisified with these. They are super comfortable, surround sound and the charge lasts 8+ hours. I had them on one day for over 12 hours and forgot they were on. The mic quality over skype apparently is amazing according to my friends. From what I can gather from my stream etc it sounds pretty good.

You won't go wrong with Logitech, I have never had a bad experience with that brand, so echoing other posters here!

I personally am using the Corsair H2100 Wireless and have only good things to say about it as well.
