In Windows, with Windows 7 Home Premium illustrated in this example:.The 1500 headset should be plugged into a USB connector and the headset must be turned on.Regardless of the order in which the steps are taken the end point should result in coordinated settings as follows: This is easy to do, but sometimes the settings on separate Windows and flight simulator sound interfaces make this require an extra step. The most realistic use of a USB gaming headset of any name or brand, for flight simulation, is to set up outside sounds on speakers, and voice on the USB headset. Within five minutes of plugging in the headset, I was able to configure and verify operation of the headset in FSX to either play all sounds on the headset, or to play voice, such as ATC dialog, on the headset, while playing all other sounds on my speakers.

With my up to date Windows 7 installation on two computers, Windows found a driver and properly identified the headset, so that it appeared in the Flight Simulator X menu for Options, Settings, Sound drop-down list of devices. When you first plug the Vengeance 1500 headset into a USB socket, Windows will search for a generic driver.

Vengeance 1500 headset controller, with small Muteīutton and lighted minus and plus Volume buttons Overall, the headset controller is just right – slightly larger than others, which makes it easier to use during game play, and it’s nicely designed and lighted, making it easy to see and use. However, if the Mute button is pressed, the lighted circles around the two volume buttons turn from blue to red. The control includes a silver-colored elongated oval Mute button in the central area of the controller, and it has large minus and plus buttons for Volume, which are highlighted with blue lighted circles around the buttons. Corsair suggests that it’s large so that it’s “easy to grab without taking your eyes off the action,” and I support that claim. The Vengeance 1500 headset is provided with a customary in-line controller, which is a bit larger than my previous headset’s controller. Also, the microphone is radially hinged, so it can be moved upward or downward as desired.
The Vengeance 1500 headset is furnished with a unidirectional, noise-cancelling microphone, which is tuned to capture the user’s voice loudly and clearly, while filtering out distracting background noises. The ear pads are constructed with memory foam, with microfiber covers, to provide “a comfortable and reliable fit that conforms to the shape of your head without binding or pinching,” according to Corsair. The extra-wide, extra deep “circumaural” ear cups isolate sounds outside the headset, and they feel better than supra-aural (on-ear) headsets.

Corsair also suggests that use of large speaker drivers also provides a competitive advantage. This feature is also intended to achieve more accurate sound reproduction, particularly for the low-frequency effects that are more difficult to produce with small speakers, compared to a sub-woofer, for example. Large 50mm drivers (speaker) are provided to greatly reduce the overloading and distortion that can occur with gaming headsets that typically use smaller 40mm drivers. We’ll learn more about these features as we proceed, but first, look at the impressive design. Dolby Headphone is compatible with any game with 3D audio, and helps reduce ‘headphone fatigue’ while delivering the accurate 360-degree audio imaging you need if you're playing to win.” “If you have on-board sound, the Vengeance 1500 provides easy one-cable USB connection and Dolby Headphone technology that lets you enjoy multichannel games the way they were meant to be played.

The product is also provided with software that offers many listening options, including an equalizer and synthetic 5.1 and 7.1 sound fields. Real Pilots wear headsets, to improve communications and reduce engine and other ambient noise, so why shouldn’t flight simulator users wear headsets? Corsair’s Vengeance 1500 USB gaming headset makes this a pleasure, with a professional quality headset that offers style, comfort, and most importantly, great sound reproduction.
