"I have the ear shape where in-ear headphones always make a loud bumping sound when I'm moving, so AirPods 4 give the benefits of noise cancelling and great sound without the in-ear effect. ... AirPods 3 always fell out my left ear but they dialed in the size perfect for the 4's, they sit perfect and I've never had it fall out or shake loose doing sprints and a full marathon."
"Took them on a 2hr walk with my dog today and had no issues. First IEMs I can actually wear laying on my side in bed."
"after 80+ miles on our last trip, I was the only one without foot problems of any kind."

"Have run 3 half's and 2 fulls, never have ran out of battery provided they are properly charged beforehand."
"Used them on a 50k without having to recharge."
"I live in a 2700 square foot cookie-cutter tract house. First floor is laminate with an office that has carpet. Then there’s the stairs which leads to 5 carpeted bedrooms, two tile bathrooms, a laundry room, and a walk-in carpeted closet. I can get all of that done one charge."

"The build quality is also outstanding. ... Both the earbuds themselves and the case are made with brushed aluminum. ... The most premium feeling earbud I've ever owned."
"The nuna feels the sturdiest, highest end, and the thing doesn’t budge."

"still have quality sound and bass ... With a slight adjustment in the bass on Spotify + spatial sound, the Airpods fly! The bass and quality of the Airpods almost reach the same level as the XM4!"
"The best is hearing directly via TV apps such as Disney+, Netflix, Prime and Kayo. The surround, smooth deep bass and clarity with the upfiring speakers on both the bar and rear speakers is 'chef kiss'."
"the sounds grab you tightly like it's saying, "Look at me only." ... when i put the tea pro, i can accurately tell where he is, what he is doing, and heck, the snipping scissors felt so real it tickled my ears and brain."

"The workaround was, of course, to schedule daily reboots. And then throw manual reboots on top of it."
"I frequently see it disconnect and say auto reconnect is active, but it doesn’t automatically reconnect. ... It works like 80-90% of the time, but it’s caused panic attacks multiple times and has made me want to switch back to all analogue mixers."
"after 6 hours or so it disconnected. I had to unplug it and plug it back in."

"For me, whenever there is a lull in sound in a game (goes quiet), the headphones",switch off" until their is sound again, but there is a delay in that sound so you miss the first second or so. ... Sounds minor, but it's quite frustrating when a cut scene starts and you miss the first word .. but happens all the time, and Corsair has no idea why."
Logitech is ass, all the same cheap shitty plastic. The HS80 RGB is lasting me quite well, though I baby it and put it on a padded surface when I'm done. Stay away from any "enthusiast" or gaming grade brand in general, stick to professional hardware if you're serious about sound/ build quality.
r/Corsair • These are without a doubt the best gaming headphones I’ve ever used (HS80 MAX) ->I didn't call Corsair professional hardware, it's obviously a gaming brand, I'm just saying Logitech has gone down the gutter hard too the last few years... when I think professional hardware I think brands like Sennheiser, AKG, BeyerDynamic. A set of quality headphones on a DAC And a dedicated condenser/ midrange shotgun mic. Which I do have, I just don't have a good desk to set it up on atm.
r/Corsair • These are without a doubt the best gaming headphones I’ve ever used (HS80 MAX) ->I really like my corsair hs80. Dolby atmos is impressive.
r/buildapc • The Best Gaming Headset to Buy Now? ->HS80 is a good headset for the price. Make sure you get the standard one though, no Pro or Max editions as their quality is all over the place and usually bad.
r/EscapefromTarkov • [Discussion] What pc headset do you recommend for the game ->Corsair HS80 wired (wait for sale)
r/PHGamerPals • Gaming headset recommendations under 5k? ->hyperx cloud ii, right now i have one of the corsair hs headphones. dont remember which but id say hearing is good
r/SiegeAcademy • Headset vs iem? ->I use a Corsair HS80, when combined with Dolby headphones it gives a decent spacial awareness. The HS80 comes with a Dolby Headphones license.
r/simracing • Reliable good headphones for sim racing out there ? (preferably with no software) *PFA* ->i use corsair hs80 and recommend it. Mic quality of it is also spectacular
r/Rainbow6 • What’s a good headset for r6? Budget is around 200$ started to get more into it help please ->Corsair HS 80 has the best microphone I've ever heard on a headset. It matches normal usb mics. However, DO NOT GET THE HS 80 MAX! They used the high bandwidth on the audio rather than the mic on the new hs 80 max. The hs 80 max has a terrible mic due to the reduction in bandwidth.
r/buildapc • Best headset with a good mic? ->Get the hs80’s. Got it a couple months ago and it’s amazing.
r/playstation • Which would you choose, and why? ->I came here to see if someone else was having this problem. Corsair support sent me a new headset and it had the same issue so it's not a hardware issue. For me, whenever there is a lull in sound in a game (goes quiet), the headphones",switch off" until their is sound again, but there is a delay in that sound so you miss the first second or so. Sounds minor, but it's quite frustrating when a cut scene starts and you miss the first word .. but happens all the time, and Corsair has no idea why. It could be a windows issue, but then why does it happen only with this headset. Who knows
r/Corsair • These are without a doubt the best gaming headphones I’ve ever used (HS80 MAX) ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
