Corsair - HS80 RGB WIRELESS

Ive had some trash luck with headsets. But here we go: Corsair HS80 has been my favorite so far. Good sound, loud, decent surround with dolby atmos. Floating headband not for everyone but I find it comfy. Razer Kraken v3 pro, the hypersense is fun, but the battery life is pitiful and my synapse would never recognize it. Razer Blackshark 2023 pro. Comfy, ok sound, not loud enough for me. Steelseries Arctis 5. Sonar can step on a pile of D4s and legos. Headset sounds good, software just too annoying for my liking. Would constantly change my non headset sound settings. Turtle Beach Atlas Air. A rare open back wireless headset. Sounds great, also software issues. If I went to change the volume it'd go from 0 to 100 or 100 to 0. couldn't get that to change. Would do it if I set it in windows or on the headset. If they'd all work perfect, The turtle beach sounded best to me. HS80 is a close second. Decent mic on it, would recommend a desktop mic if you're worried about that though.

best mic in a wireless headset handsdown Corsair HS80 Wireless RGB

I got a Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless on Amazon Prime yesterday for $90. Normally $149. Haven't tried them yet, but have several Corsair Void sets. Love them for good, budget set. Solid build quality and comfortable.

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.

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.

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.

I did a lot of research and ended on the corsair hs80's and have not been dissapointed. The mic is really good for a wireless gaming headset and no issues with the sound

There is a wireless version. HS80 and the newly HS80 MAX. Both have prob the best microphone on a wireless headset. But the directional sound is good but not as good as beyerdynamic headphones.

I have a pair of corsair hs80 headphones, the mic quality is actually pretty good and on par with USB mics. The audio quality is fairly decent, and it overall feels comfortable. But I have a big head.

hmm. Arctis Nova Pro or Blackshark V2 Pro. I am currently using corsair hs80 and my bose qc35 II sounded better

One question I have is does the audio cut out? I have the HS80 and in wireless mode the audio will randomly cut out. It comes back but I have tried everything to get it to not. I have read it could be due to 2.4GHz wireless networks but not much I can do about that. Was considering going for these but didn't want to run into the same issue.

I have tried everything short of turning off my 2.4GHz network, can't do that as I have a lot of IoT devices plus there are my neighbors 2.4GHz bands to worry about. Nothing else I have from Corsair wireless (mouse) does that so it must be the channel the headset runs on. If only we could change that on the headset.

I had the donkey on the top of the PC which is right next to my head and it did it. I tried the motherboard just in case same thing. Have yet to try the dangle though. Might give that a shot to see if it makes it any better.

The Corsair HS80 has one of the best mics I’ve ever heard and the audio quality is good to. I love how clean and simple it is visually so I don’t look like a gamer on my work meetings. The AI noise cancelling is also amazing if you don’t mind downloading a 2gb file for it to work. I can literally have my wife cooking and banging around 10ft from Me and no one hears a peep in my work meetings. For around $120 with good wireless and battery life it beats out every $200-300 headset I’ve had and I’ve owned it for 2 years now

Yup the wireless one 😀 People think I’m in a recording studio or something when I join a chat. I’m with you. I used to hate wireless headsets and have tried many to utter disappointment. It’s also got the most comfortable head strap I’ve ever used for longer sessions and isn’t too heavy but still has great battery life. A family member bought me this headset as a gift as I couldn’t bear wasting money on one again myself. Goes to say I was impressed. I’ve had it 2-3 years now and it’s still working great

0 issue with that. I like loud too and I’ve rarely had these above 50-60% volume

I currently use Corsair HS80 (wired) with Dolby Atmos (yes, I paid for that shit) and I can't say I'm disappointed. Footsteps are clear and you can somewhat hear clearly from where the gunshots are coming

Corsair HS80. Great audio, great mic and its wireless. Unless he's some kinda livestreamer he doesn't need a giant mic.

nope, i have it and i dont recommend. the mic isnt that good and the top of my head hurts after using it

Corsair HS80. Extremely comfortable and wireless, ill probably never get a different headset again

The Corsair hs80s in 12th place is quite a surprise. My earpads failed after a year and the replacements are easy to replace but still

I have the corsair hs80 and it 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. Not to mention the usbc charging port is so low quality it won't hold the cable in. Never left a review but definitely don't buy a corsair hs80..seriously

I have the Corsair hs80s, they are just ok, the sound quality is good for both mic and listening. I honestly mainly use them for work meetings. 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, the physical comfort is fine at least. Agreed battery life is good. No issues on sound quality it's well built and sounds great just the fits not for me

It depends. Open-back headphones with a vmoda boom mic are good for Audiophiles. However they also have some cons like significant audio bleed, they're somewhere between closed-back and speakers. Good brands that are recommended a lot are Phillips, Sony, Audio Technica, Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic. However, closed-back headsets can be just as good if you aren't really an audiophile and don't care too much about pitch-perfect accuracy. Plus there's a few cheaper decent options even with the "gamer" branding. Good brands here are a little more difficult, it's best to recommend good headsets rather than good brands. With that said, here are a few recommendations that I've been looking at myself: * HyperX Cloud Alpha - sturdy build, decent sound, a good mic, only problem is "leather" flaking off but that happens with most headsets/headphones. The most budget friendly option IMO. * Corsair HS80 - decent build, good sound, very good mic, fabric so less prone to flaking/peeling. Decently cheap too. * Steelseries Arctis Nova 7 - good build, good sound, so-so mic, comfortable headband and fabric so less prone to flaking/peeling. A little more expensive but not breaking the bank. I personally prefer wired headsets and I'm not an Audiophile. HyperX Cloud Alphas served me well for years now, but I am looking to get a pair of Corsair HS80's later this year.

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.

Corsair hs80 my goat

The only downside of the hs80 in my opinion is the range.Many people have to buy an external microphone to have a microphone as good as this headset. What Corsair has achieved in this headset is fuckin incredible.

So Corsair HS80 is the best. Got it

i love my corsair hs80, after i used autoeq and equalizier apo they are perfect, both for gaming and music

have you tried them with ec from autoeq and equalizerAPO? i love mine with those

My sister had one and let me use it when she was being sponsored by Logitech, and I really loved them. I play War Thunder a lot and the surround sound on it just worked really well for me. Much more than the Logitech G733 I have been using. Unfortunately the charging port just broke and came off her HS80. She also really liked it and now has gotten an Logitech G PRO X 2. I just ordered the HS80 Max for myself on prime days on amazon (as the G733 elastic band is loose and it hurts my head) should arrive tomorrow :)

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

My corsair HS80 is super comfy and sounds great

I own a Corsair hs80 and I approve this message

I used to be big on separate headphones plus mic setup. But I wanted to move away from wired, so I picked up a pair of XM3s and ended up having endless connectivity problems. They were the only bit of tech that I ever returned for a refund that wasn't an RMA issue. Ended up saying fuck it and going for a headset since I needed a mic for work as well and a headset was just the best wireless option. Ended up with the Arctis 7s from SteelSeries but later picked up Corsair HS80s and have never looked back.

At the time I did my research, i was looking for 2.4ghz wireless, high mic quality, comfort and good range. The Razer blackshark V2 pro 2023 turned out to be the winner for me, the hs80 were falling a bit short, and the razer ones turned out to be amazing tbh. I think the only negative I can think of is the pads getting a bit hot, and if you skip on the software, it's amazing really.

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

I personally don’t recommend Razer, their stuff doesn’t last anymore. I went through 2 pairs of the kitty headphones in less than 2 years, they both started to deteriorate after 6 months with the pink paint and leather peeling off. Sound quality wasn’t great either and got worse, it had that crackly noise and constant hissing which was more noticeable on lower volume. Save your money if you want something that lasts. Definitely recommend Corsair though, I switched to the HS80 and they’re amazing. Miles better in quality. It’s just a shame Corsair doesn’t do cute colours. 😭

I love my Corsair HS80. #12 eeh?

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.

It disappears from the desktop, a lot of people are complaining about it. U just need to reinstall it.

Interesting, I love them best mic on any headset, sound got way better when i downloaded Dolby Atmos app and tweaked the equalizer. I can wear them the whole day, most of the time i forget i have them on. Battery life is great to.

Have you tried putting the heads strap higher up, so that the headset sits a little lower? I noticed that I can have them at different heights and still fit me Pretty well. My strap is almost touching the head band that hold the headphones together. Otherwise maybe try to stretch them like have them around a pillow or something that is a little wider than your own head. Like walking in your shoes.

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

I'm an audiophile who owns dedicated headphones and gaming headphones, I would suggest the hs80 from corsair, it's on a good sale right now.

I know it's technically a bit of a downgrade, but I recently got the HS80s and regret nothing, most comfortable headset I've ever worn

Eh, I used to feel this way but now I just want to be able to put on a headset with a mic and call it a day. Don’t get me wrong gaming headsets stupid expensive but I like the convenience. I have a pair of hd6xx and a Samson Q2U mic but now I just reach for my corsair hs80

Just upgraded from the Sony Pulse to the HS80; 75 bucks refurbished from Corsair. Definitely a lot better than the Pulse but still a bit too much clamp force on my big head. I am also replacing the fabric ear cups with cooling gel fake leather because the fabric gets hot.

My Razor Nari headset is still going strong for 4 years now. I know it’s not the best, but I returned some equivalents like the steel series arctis and corsair hs80. They just sounded tinny.

Agreed. I’ve had some ungodly expensive headsets, and nothing has compared to the HS80 Max.

I personally think HS80's are garbage. The sound is horrible, sounds all muddy and shit the only decent thing is the mic it's also very uncomfortable. Got a studio headphones after discovering how garbage they are, couldn't be more happy after that. If you're not sensitive to sound quality, sure go ahead get them. But if you're sensitive to sound quality like me you're gonna hate them. 2/10 headset at best. Probably gonna get downvoted, but just saying the truth.
