I absolutely love my Corsair HS80. They're very comfortable and have great sound. There a bit expensive, I bought them when they were on sale . [Amazon link](https://a.co/d/1DzaTPb)
I really like my corsair hs80. Dolby atmos is impressive.
I use a Corsair HS80, when combined with Dolby headphones it gives a decent spacial awareness. The HS80 comes with a Dolby Headphones license.
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.
Ah I missed that detail. If mic quality is truly that important to you, an understandable preference, then you will sacrifice audio quality quite a bit. If you liked your pc363d, then many people still praise the updated drop epos + pc38x. Just check to see if they dont have the flaws you mentioned. I recommend specific gaming headsets because these ones are not slop (neither is the audeze maxwell despite some flaws), but you're not going to find anything with your preferences because it simply doesnt exist right now unless you chip in more cash for that "audiophile stuff + modmic or dedicated mic." That's why nobody has responded to your post, my guy. Sacrifices must be made either with the wallet or your preferences. Now some notable all-rounders I've personally tried are the Corsair HS80, MMX 330, A50X or A50 Gen 5 (both have same tech and hands down the best microphone on a headset rn, but X has hdmi base station and more money). The Fractal Scape is pretty goated for the price, but I haven't heard the microphone yet, check it out. Honestly, if you want a transcending audio experience based on your preference then I recommend the HD 490 Pro (or any audiophile of your choice) with an affordable DAC, and a modmic to easily turn that headphone into a headset. That's a great way to get audiophile quality sound for music and gaming, while getting decent mic quality (subjectively).
I love the Corsair HS80’s. Comfortable, decent mic, wireless for when I want to grab a drink while in a lobby or whatever, great battery life, and they work while charging so when they die they’re just wired headphones. No noise isolation sadly. But they are over-ear so they do mute the room a bit.
Imo the mic quality on the corsair hs80 is great but if you have a larger budget you can probably do better.
I just got the corsair HS80's and love them. Comfy good mic, bt dongle which is seamless when connecting. Great left to right audio too
