I have been looking at Pokémon and their 30th anniversary celebration, which includes a new set of cards as well as other merchandise. I have never collected these cards in the past, but I was also intrigued at this new set. As such, I recently went to line up in front of a grocery store in hopes of grabbing something. Despite getting there two hours before opening, I was still behind a hundred or more other people. Thankfully, I was able to buy a small box, as the store had implemented purchasing limits, but there was not enough stock for everyone in the line. For those who have been collecting these cards for some time now, this has become a common sight, as the cards are in high demand. Unfortunately, it also has the attention of bad actors who buy solely to resell at inflated higher prices. The result of their scalping is those who are genuinely interested in collecting cards are forced to fight scarce supplies or pay up. Even retailers, both big and small, have sold their trading cards at higher costs to cash in on the profits. It is a shame that people who are fans of the franchise can no longer enjoy it purely because of cost. However, the same cannot be said for Corsair, as they have been maintaining an affordable headset lineup for quite some time now. Today, we have the HS35 v3 Wireless, which removes a physical connection while keeping the unit at an attainable price. This makes the headset readily available for any prospective user, but how does this headset perform? Is the HS35 v3 Wireless worth your time and money? Let us read on to find out!

Today's review unit of the Corsair HS35 v3 Wireless arrived from Corsair's warehouse in San Bernardino, California, USA. Traveling with UPS and their Worldwide Saver shipping service, this longer cardboard box arrived in excellent condition with no notable dents or bruises. Along with this wireless headset, we also received their Harpoon v2 mouse and Skiff 100 Plus keyboard, which will be reviewed by my colleagues in the coming weeks. Otherwise, there are some packaging materials inside to protect the products inside.

Out of the cardboard box, you can see all the Corsair products together in a similar box design. The retail container of the HS35 v3 Wireless has a yellow header where the company and product names appear. Underneath, the headset is displayed here in a scaled down image. Some primary features listed on the left side include its compatibility with computers, mobile devices, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. It also mentions the possible wired and wireless connectivity, floating headband design, soft earpads, and an immersive audio experience. We will explore all these things in our review. On the bottom, there are logos for both Dolby Atmos and Bluetooth, indicating the HS35 v3 Wireless has both capabilities. The back of the box lists a few more capabilities and specifications.

Before we continue, I have grabbed the specifications for your perusal:

The Corsair HS35 v3 Wireless is packaged in a white cloth bag to prevent surface scratches and other marks from appearing on the headset. In addition, there is a brown corrugated cardboard box holding accessories, including a detachable microphone, 1.8m long USB Type-C to Type-A cable, and a USB transceiver. One unique thing about the dongle is that it can connect via a USB Type-C or Type-A port. The receiver is made up of a low-profile body with the USB Type-C connector that plugs into a larger body with a full Type-A plug. The dongle has a small green LED light on it to indicate when your headphones are connected. Finally, there is some documentation regarding the functions of the buttons and regulatory information.
