If you skipped buying that coveted stick of RAM or 2 TB SSD this time last year, you must be feeling understandably morose. Most things are getting more and more expensive, but crucially, not all things. Components like headsets and gamepads conform to the fast antiquating dictum that, with time, value will rise while costs decrease.
That's pretty much the case with the Corsair HS35 v3. At the level of raw specs at least, Corsair's new mid-range headset has a touch more to offer than the SteelSeries Arctic Nova 3X, which is our favourite mid-range gaming headset. It came bearing a $90 price tag at launch (though you wouldn't pay full price for it in 2026).
