"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."
"frequently loses connection and will randomly refuse to reconnect. ... I've moved the USB dongle multiple times including using an extender to get it closer to me, still has issues."

"still a bit too much clamp force on my big head."
"They are uncomfortable for long periods of time however I can only wear them for about 90 minutes at a time."
"Yeah just feels like a big pressure around my ears the entire time"
I have the HS80 wired, and it's great, I just hate the wire, so I tried the MAX for a few days and returned it. It was amazing being able to get snacks without taking it off or laying in bed without needing to change headphones, but the sideline sucked on it.
r/Corsair • These are without a doubt the best gaming headphones I’ve ever used (HS80 MAX) ->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 have the HS80 RGB (not max). I love them now but didn’t at first. I purchased them specifically because they were advertised as having decent sidetone. What I discovered is that I had to turn my game volumes down and the main headphone volume up. At around 40% sidetone comes alive and works great. Love the rich bass with Atmos as well.
r/Corsair • These are without a doubt the best gaming headphones I’ve ever used (HS80 MAX) ->I have these and I really love the sound quality and the mic. But....they've cracked in half 2x on me. Just putting them on my head. The plastic is really cheap.
r/gamingpc • Best pc gaming headset ->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) ->My corsair HS80 is super comfy and sounds great
r/buildapc • Whats the Best Gaming Headset to Buy Right Now? ->I have the Original HS80 replaced the stock ear pieces with something better and best headset I've used also. https://preview.redd.it/lz9wnerrktie1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93219dd2f3af3781ffd74d232054fd14af5c8f76
r/Corsair • These are without a doubt the best gaming headphones I’ve ever used (HS80 MAX) ->I have HS80 without MAX and they are the best, only program for them is bad it just disappears and then I have to reinstall it.

r/Corsair • These are without a doubt the best gaming headphones I’ve ever used (HS80 MAX) ->Every corsair headset I've owned has sounded great, but I found out the mic quality was so bad that I sounded like i was talking through a tin can on a string. I'll stick with my logitech headset. Love my corsair keyboard though. Wish icue would stop self destructing every few months
