In this article, we will concentrate upon a variation of the HS60 headset by CORSAIR we already reviewed back in 2019, but now incorporate haptic bass which is enabled by using Taction Technology. To be more exact, the HS60 HAPTIC is the first gaming-dedicated headphone which features Taction Transporter tactile transducers; these provide skin-level vibrations for a more immersive experience. Even with bigger drivers, regular headsets cannot provide such an experience, which with HS60 Haptic it makes you feel that you also have a very big subwoofer nearby.
The product is shipped inside a medium-sized cardboard enclosure with the latest version of CORSAIR’s box art, with a photo of the HS60 HAPTIC in front, highlighting the Taction vibration technology, the Discord-certified microphone but also the compatibility with iCUE:

CORSAIR’s “Never Miss a Beat” saying is also available on the packaging:
On the bottom, we will note the list of compatible platforms (PC is listed here) but also drawings of the box contents:
In the back, we do have a more in-depth explanation of the headset components, in multiple languages:
After removing the cardboard layer, we will note that the headset is placed securely inside a black plastic mold, together with its hardware accessories and documentation:
The documentation is placed inside a plastic bag and includes the usual “suspects”: Warranty Guide, Safety Information and User’s Manual:
The manual gives the user enough information on how to use the product, without the need to consult online documentation:
Besides the headset we will receive the removable microphone but also a sponge windscreen filter:
The HS60 HAPTIC shares design elements from the regular HS60, which was quite a solid product; the earcups are large, in all-black color which is also shared by the headband. The only elements you do not see here are the extra stitching on the ear pads and the headband:
