Corsair iCUE
Before we conclude, let’s take a quick look at the software, which makes a large part of the HS65 Wireless’ feature set possible in the first place. Corsair’s iCUE software has finally cracked the 1GB mark with the current version and takes up a whopping 1.4 GB after installing the 1100 MB setup. Meanwhile, a double-digit number of processes and services spread out in the working memory. Of course, the software is extremely extensive and powerful, but it could certainly be made a bit more resource-efficient.
After clicking on the device in the overview, we get directly to the sound settings of the device. Here we can choose between different presets, or make completely custom settings on a 10 band equalizer.
The device settings are limited to the software update, the Mic Boost and a few functions regarding the battery.
Corsair SoundID
The SoundID settings are identical for both variants, so I take the liberty of reusing this part of the old article. Corsair wants to make it as easy as possible for users who might not be that familiar with the matter to adjust the headset’s sound to their listening habits with the new SoundID technology.
But how exactly is this supposed to work? Through simple comparative tests using audio samples.
The user chooses a track that most closely matches his or her personal taste in music.
And then different boosts are applied per frequency range and an A/B comparison is offered for each boost. The user selects which sound they like better and moves on to the next frequency range. Kind of like the eye test.
An individual equalizer setting is then calculated based on the selected preferences.
If the SoundID technology is activated, the regular equalizer is deactivated.
In principle, this is an ingenious idea, and it definitely lets you adjust the sound to your personal preferences. For those who have no idea about frequency bands and equalizer settings, this is certainly a fine thing. Personally, I liked the self-adjusted equalizer even more than the calculated setting.
