✔Corsair HS65 Surround
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.

We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.

This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
driver unit size
50mm
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
sound pressure level
114dB/mW
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
impedance

✔Corsair HS65 Surround
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.

Super comodos, buen aislamiento de sonido exterior, muy buena calidad de sonido sinceramente, el 7.1 en pc va super bien y se nota, más en juegos que tienen el 7.1 y el micro tiene una muy buena calidad, aunque en movil considero que se escucha tantito bajo, pero de muy buena calidad y son comodos y no cansan al usarlos durante varias horas.
