Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Tonal Profile

Corsair's open-back, fully analogue headset — no dongle, no battery, no software. Note that this page prints the impedance correctly as «32 Ohms @ 1 kHz», which is what makes the kilohm figure on the HS pages readable as an error rather than a house convention.

Amplification Warning

Open-back at 32 Ω is the easiest load in this catalogue. The thing to watch is not power but the source's output impedance: an open dynamic driver has a resonance peak, and a 50–100 Ω motherboard jack turns that peak into an audible bass bump.

What the datasheet actually says

Quoted verbatim from the manufacturer’s own page, with the date we checked it. We state what is printed, not what anyone intended by it.

Unit not stated
«Headphone Sensitivity: 116dB (+/-3dB)»

Corsair gives no reference on any headset page, so the number alone cannot be used. Read as dB/V it is about 101 dB/mW — normal for an open 50 mm driver; read as dB/mW it would be the most sensitive headphone in this catalogue by a wide margin. We store dB/V. The gap between the two readings is roughly 15 dB at 32 Ω, which is the difference between «needs 0.03 V» and «needs 0.2 V» for the same loudness.
