We found the Corsair HS1 USB Gaming Headset to have an excellent build quality and rather good sound quality for a company that is just getting into audio products for the very first time.

What happened to the PC speaker market? When I bought my Logitech Z-5300's back in the day there were 10+ good sets of 5.1 speaker sets I could've picked from. A quick glance at Newegg only shows 4 options (3 of which are Logitech). If this is the case then why even make a 5.1 or 7.1 soundcard? Is it more for people who run their PC through an amp and it's speakers? Maybe since I've never gamed on a headset I don't know what I'm missing. Kudos to Corsair for making a good headset but I'd personally like to see more speaker setups being offered.
