Nowadays a headset is just as important as your keyboard and mouse. Whether you’re a gamer absorbing the sound of your game through your gaming headset or you work in an office environment and use your headset for conference calls, your headset and mic are an essential part of your setup.
One question we are asked often is which of your headsets are compatible with Mac? As you probably know, Mac computers are popular among creative professionals and users that enjoy the integration of other Apple devices. Mac computers are the preferred choice by some, so we at CORSAIR decided to show you a few recommended headsets for your Mac.
First, lets get the question answered.
Any USB connection headset will work on a Mac PC. However, it does not mean that the headsets software is Mac compatible. Typically, headset software enhances certain aspects of the headset including sound, like accessing EQ settings and microphone settings. Your headset software also manages other settings including some of the buttons on the headsets, for example, the mute or power button, and RGB control since many headsets nowadays incorporate LEDs.
Lucky for you, CORSAIR makes a very powerful software called iCUE and there’s a version just for Mac.
Here are just a few things you can do with CORSAIR iCUE:
CORSAIR iCUE is a powerful software that not only allows your CORSAIR headset to maximise it's performance but also gives you that same level of customization across all compatible peripherals in your system. With iCUE, you can synchronize dynamic RGB lighting effects, create custom macros, adjust your mouse’s sensitivity in single DPI steps and much more.
So, let’s take a look at a few headsets that we recommend for use with Mac.
At the top of the game, we have the CORSAIR VIRTUOSO RGB WIRELESS XT. These headsets feature an all-aluminum design and pillow-soft memory foam ear pads for long-term durability and comfortability. They have a matched pair of precisely tuned 50mm Neodymium speaker drivers to deliver impeccable sound from your favorite games and media, a broadcast grade microphone, onboard dynamic RGB lighting, and are wireless with a range of up to 60 feet.
The CORSAIR HS80 MAX WIRELESS offers multiplatform compatibility, among them PC, Mac, PlayStation, and more. They can provide as much as 65 hours of battery life and give you a 50 foot wireless range. They are really comfortable to wear due to their floating headband and breathable memory foam earpads and are equipped with an omni-directional broadcast grade microphone while precisely tuned 50mm neodymium drivers deliver a great sound.
Compatible with PC and Mac, these headsets offer detailed sound through custom-tuned 50mm neodymium audio drivers with Dolby Audio surround sound. Among many of it’s features, it has a flip to mute broadcast-grade omni directional microphone, plush memory foam earpads, an adjustable free floating headband for comfort and dynamic RGB lighting onboard.
This headset offers quite a lot of features at a lower price point. It connects using an analog 3.5mm jack connector but comes with a USB adapter to convert from analog to digital and you will need to use the included adapter on your Mac for compatibility. The HS65 SURROUND headset features SoundID so you can create your own custom sound profile based on your unique hearing preferences, Dolby Audio 7.1 using iCUE, and metal construction and memory foam ear pads for durability and comfort.
There are a lot of headsets to choose from in the CORSAIR headset line up and these are just a few. Remember, in order to use your headset on a Mac, a USB connection is required and in order to access some of the key features on your headset such as the EQ settings, RGB, etc. you must have software that is compatible with both your headset and Mac.
