Both versions of the HS35 v3 feature custom 50mm Neodymium dynamic drivers with a frequency response of 20 – 20,000 Hz and an impedance of 32 ohms. The wired version weighs a mere 8.11 ounces (230g), which makes it one of the lightest gaming headsets we've seen (though, not the absolute lightest — Logitech's G325 weighs just 7.47oz / 212g) — while the wireless version is slightly heavier at 8.82 ounces (250g). The wired version is over 2.5 ounces lighter than the HyperX Cloud III (10.86oz / 308g), which is one of the comfiest headsets we've tested, while the wireless version is almost 2 ounces lighter than the Turtle Beach Atlas Air (10.61oz / 292.5g), which is, well, basically as light as air. Weight doesn't necessarily guarantee comfort, but it's certainly a major factor.

Other design features include a lightweight plastic frame, memory foam-padded earpads covered in breathable mesh fabric, and a detachable omnidirectional boom microphone with on-ear controls for both muting and volume control. The wireless version of the HS35 v3 features 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired connectivity, while the wired version has a universal 3.5mm wired connection. Corsair says you'll get up to 30 hours of battery life over the wireless version's 2.4GHz wireless connection at 50% volume, which isn't the most impressive battery life we've heard of but is probably more than enough for someone who doesn't play days-long gaming marathons. Both the HS35 v3 wired version and the HS35 v3 Wireless are available now, for $49.99 and $79.99, respectively, in black and white colorways.
