"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"delivers the full package here. ... betting the house regarding this on this pair was fully worth it. ... It matches up (I would not say surpasses) a lot of wired in-ear monitors within this price bracket and slightly above. ... The prowess it shows in keeping the instrument separation clean is something that I really, really appreciate myself for buying this pair, not to mention the rumbly yet controlled, precise lows keep on coming and the highs soar without spice, without hurting your ears."
"Nothing short of a home run, here- the Ear once again brings me all; the way the bass hits on this track is very impactful but not bloated, punchy but not overpowering, and Kendrick’s powerful vocals shine through bright, while I enjoyed the way the Sax keeps on coming in at the right junctions of the song, and the way the cymbals play out on this track is probably one of the best I have heard through amongst all the gear that I have owned and currently own- the first in a wireless, and one of the few if I consider all. ... the timbre sounds natural and uncoloured"

"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."

"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."
"i agree the build quality is perfect"

"have easily the best mic of any gaming headset (I recorded a sung vocal track into Pro Tools with it yesterday)"
"And the AI they advertise actually works. ... With my gen 2s people could hear my dogs bark in the other room and now they can’t."
"i prefer logitech because of blue voice"

"it lasts for ages on battery. ... have had mine over a year no issues. ... they say the battery is 250hrs on 2.4ghz mode or 400hrs if you set it to bluetooth. either way, its ages. ... it has a red LED that flashes when its at like 5 or 10% (cant recall which)."
"I've used it pretty heavily for about 4 years without any issues."
"extra easy to change battery ... if you get a small 2 slot battery charger and 2 rechargable batteries you are, virtually, always ready."

"constant connectivity issues I experienced. ... The buds would randomly not turn on when taken out of the case, or just one wouldn't turn on, or they wouldn't connect, or sometimes the buds would randomly disconnect/reconnect, or sometimes the buds would disconnect from each other. ... I really wanted to keep them but they were borderline unusable, even after an update."
"Also connection with iPhone has always been terrible. ... Dropped connections, sometimes it just won ’t connect."
"they would constantly disconnect from my s23."

"the mic not being recognized as functional when everything checks out systematically, weird stuff. ... Today my mic completely won't connect to anything, I BT'd it to my phone, won't register that it's on, used it on my PC, nothing. ... Went to a help page and did all the backdoor stuff with permissions, no change (everything was already correct) just more frustration. ... Too much money to forgive."
"The bad thing is that I can’t seem to get the mic to work properly. ... I’m PC and the mic would either be on or off I would not be able to use the mic on off switch on the bottom of the headset. ... Later that day the mic wouldn’t work at all. (First day I got the headset) ... Bummed that the mic is this difficult to work though. ... The sounds quality is super crisp with the sonar EQ I would have definitely kept them if it wasn’t for the Microphone being wonky"
"mic is low and cant adjust the volume(db stuck at 0)"

"My Timps got holes after 4 weeks of wearing lol ... Forgot exactly where but it was the toe box. ... Never seen running shoes with such a shitty build quality before. ... Altra is definitely skimping on the materials since they were sold a few years ago."
"I beat the ever living shit out of my shoes in the Colorado high country and have had to shoe goo the soles twice in spots so it’s definitely not bomb proof."
"Left earbud broke after three days usage."

"My scimitar would randomly "unplug/replug" itself (Windows USB sound would play) ... and then it would forget all custom keybinds until I rebooted...often in the middle of a key. ... I chucked it out the window after a year of pain"
"iCue constantly explodes, requiring a reinstall to fix ... the settings you put on the headset REQUIRE iCue to reapply every time the headset connects. ... I have reinstalled iCue a number of times to try to make it work and its straight up ass IMO."
"Icue is so shit. ... But god forbid trying to reset up your bindings or trying to save them sometimes. ... So unintuitive. ... The worse ui I've used out of all the mice I've had over the last 20 years. ... Having to do macros for everything was stupid. ... I could never get the onboarding memory to work right either."

"I can't find headphones that don't give me a headache after about 40 minutes. ... Gave my ps5 pulse ones to my girl"
"I find I can't wear them for more than an hour without my ears hurting."
"After 30 minutes of gaming, my ears are burning."
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 ->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* ->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.
r/buildapc • What's the Best Wireless Gaming Headset in Your Opinion? ->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? ->hmm. Arctis Nova Pro or Blackshark V2 Pro. I am currently using corsair hs80 and my bose qc35 II sounded better
r/buildapc • What's the Best Wireless Gaming Headset in Your Opinion? ->Get the hs80’s. Got it a couple months ago and it’s amazing.
r/playstation • Which would you choose, and why? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
