Amazon slashes the price for Corsair’s HS70 wireless gaming headset

Add as a preferred source on Google

Amazon and Corsair cut the price of Corsair’s HS70 wireless gaming headset. We were stoked in April when Amazon cut the HS70 to $80 from its normal $100 price. But now, with the price down to $60, you can save $40 and gain one of our favorite headsets with Wi-Fi wireless and 7.1 surround sound.

The Corsair HS70 headset’s virtues for gameplay and all other types of listening are rock solid. This headset’s comfort, connectivity, and battery life are each exceptional, but accurate, high-quality sound matters most, and the HS70 does not disappoint.

Corsair’s 50mm neodymium wide range drivers sport 20Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and 111-decibel sensitivity. The headset’s 7.1 virtual surround-sound mode enables positional audio so you can react faster with audio cues.

Among other virtues, the Corsair HS70’s 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection reduces audio latency so you won’t be held back because you didn’t hear something happening in a game soon enough to protect yourself or attack. The Wi-Fi connection also provides greater range, as much as 40 feet, and up to 16 hours of battery life per charge.

Uncomfortable headsets reveal their shortcomings within minutes, but the Corsair HS70’s plush memory foam and adjustable earcaps and the headset’s light 11.7-ounce weight let you play, listen, or watch for hours on end in complete comfort. Corsair’s metal construction is a fundamental reason for the brand’s reputation for long-term durability.

The HS70 comes with a removable, optimized unidirectional microphone. Unlike headsets with mic booms that get in the way when you don’t need them, just unplug the microphone and put it aside. The microphone has 100Hz to 10kHz frequency response and integrated noise cancellation to reduce ambient sound and maximize voice quality.

The Corsair HS70, like the brand’s other gaming headsets, is Discord-certified, which means the independent group Discord tested and approved the headset for audio quality, game compatibility, usability, and comfort. Headsets with microphones have to pass additional testing to be certified.

Normally priced $100, the Corsair HS70 Wireless is only $60 during this sale. If you want a lightweight, comfortable, fully wireless headset for gameplay with exceptional battery life and 7.1 surround sound, jump now to take advantage of this deal.

It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.

Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.

Phantom Blade Zero makes me think Sony might have a point about going all digital
Physical games still matter, but when the disc isn't a complete copy of the game, the argument for keeping it becomes harder to make.

I'm a big supporter of physical games. There's something satisfying about owning a disc, lending it to a friend, or grabbing a bargain without waiting for a digital storefront to approve the price. But Phantom Blade Zero has me questioning one of the biggest arguments in the physical-versus-digital debate. The game's digital version launches on October 29, 2026, while its physical PS5 editions, including Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate versions, won't arrive until 2027.

And there's another wrinkle: the digital version reportedly needs up to 134GB of storage, raising questions about how much of the game can actually fit on a standard Blu-ray disc. A standard PS5 Ultra HD Blu-ray disc maxes out at 100GB, so Phantom Blade Zero may need to ship across multiple discs or require players to download additional data to finish installing it. Either way, the idea of popping in a disc and having the complete game ready to play gets a little murkier.

Nintendo Switch 2 jailbreak breakthrough shows what AI can do, but it’s not a one-click hack
The software-only exploit works on the latest firmware, but it's tethered and still has significant limitations.
Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 has reportedly been jailbroken, and AI helped crack the code. Developer Sammy Hajhamid, aka pepsipu, used OpenAI's Codex to help exploit the console, even modding Mario Kart World with the likes of Peter Griffin and Hatsune Miku. But before anyone celebrates an unlocked Nintendo playground, there's a catch: the exploit is tethered, not a full-blown custom firmware jailbreak.
