Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless Multiplatform Gaming Headset - Dolby Atmos - Lightweight Comfort Design - Broadcast Quality Microphone - iCUE Compatible - PC, Mac, PS5, PS4 - Black

As of writing this review I have owned the headset for two and a half years. The praise I have is that the sound and microphone quality of this headset is excellent, better than anything I've tried by a lot. My criticism will be the durability of the headset. First, the good. This headset sounds absolutely great. I'm mostly talking about the microphone quality. Literally everyone on discord immediately commented on how great the microphone sounded (apparently everyone has to turn up my volume a little bit) and the ear phones are also super clear. I'm not a huge audiophile nerd or anything so maybe my opinion isn't much but out of the ten or fifteen different microphones I've tried (including some studio-quality microphones with audio hubs) this one is easily the best. The headset is also extremely comfortable, even over my glasses which used to press painfully into my head with other headsets. It has a convenient audio wheel on the back of it and I can flip the microphone up or down to instantly mute myself if I want to eat or drink while in a call and easily tell whether or not my microphone has been muted on the hardware. On to the bad. The first is the durability. I had to replace the ear pads about three months in. I went with a $13 pair of black mesh ear pads that have lasted me very well until now. The pads are good and are still completely intact but just keep in mind the initial purchase is probably not the only time you'll be spending money on this headset. After owning the headset for about two years, I will occasionally get issues where the audio quality on the headphones gets noticeably awful. It's always fixed by unplugging and replugging the headset and typically only happens whenever I remove or put on the headset too forcefully. I was also completely unable to get the wireless functions to work, although I didn't really care about this very much. Even with all the criticisms, this is still by far the best value for my money of any headset I've purchased. If the one I own ever does need to be replaced for any reason, I'm going to replace it with another identical copy.

Bought this December 2022, fantastic headset in my opinion. Only thing that ever got a minor bit annoying every now and then was the microphone being less adjustable than the new headset I just bought and received right now (Void wireless v2). I beat this thing up and it worked fine. Think I started noticing thr battery maybe lasting a little less recently, not really an issue though. Still lasted for days during the couple to few hours/day it was used. I just broke them when trying to frantically plug in the USB-C while playing a game where I had like 5 seconds before it was my turn. Went and broke the female USB-C off the headset, into the headset lol. Can also see where I superglued the black foam covering back onto the headset since it came off when I shoved them into my carry-on backpack for a road-trip to Europe and back. Wasnt able to pull the covering back to its original location, so you can see the dried glue of where it used to be. My fix wasnt an issue, still felt great and used them like this since March of 2025. Still recommend, just trying something new every time.

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 13 2022-- iCUE now remembers sidetone settings. Good job Corsair, have a star back. ----------- My PC is a "Corsair" build, with iCUE handling my audio, my mouse and keyboard, my CPU cooler, and my case fans. After picking up the HS80 my loyalty to Corsair has been rewarded with frequent crashes, audio delays and distortion, and constant maintenance of software that's supposed to - by design - not need constant maintenance. I'm impressed with the build quality. The earcups and elastic suspension headstrap feel substantial and do a good job isolating outside sound. The boom mic is comfortable and microphone quality is the best Corsair has offered to date. Past Corsair headsets have had surround audio built-in to iCUE. The HS80 comes stereo out of the box and "supports surround audio" through external tools: either Windows Sonic or Dolby Atomos from the Windows Store. Dolby Atomos is Corsair-recommended, but iCUE does not handle this integration gracefully. Windows struggles to negotiate audio processing between iCUE and Dolby Atomos, resulting in delayed pre-caching and extended load times of 30-45 seconds per instance. Opening a dozen YouTube tabs and waiting a minute for each one to play nice with Dolby and iCUE, freezing my whole PC during the wait, makes listening to music or watching videos painful. Corsair's "recommended feature" - and part of the premium expense of this product - is better off completely ignored. The HS80's volume wheel has a click-in button that lets you switch between Equalizer presets. This only toggles iCUE's built in stereo equalizer - which gets disabled if you utilize Windows Sonic or Dolby Atomos. This click-in button can't be remapped in iCUE. Another premium feature that is totally worthless in practice. Microphone sidetone settings constantly reset because iCUE can't remember an on/off binary state. iCUE has never handled sidetone correctly in the past 3 years I've used multiple Corsair headsets so this is not a surprise. If you prefer sidetone, you'll never forget to constantly re-enable it with the HS80, because iCUE can't be bothered to do it right. iCUE does not handle wandering gracefully - you are "wireless" but not totally untethered from your desk. Walking out of wireless dongle range causes problems. The headset will reconnect, but sometimes audio processing will become corrupted, or your microphone output will sound higher or lower pitched to listeners. Your friends will tell you your mic is broken after they're done laughing or complaining in VC. Plugging power into the headset to recharge it midway through a gaming session causes the entire headset to turn off and on again, which can cause iCUE to crash. Turning the headset off and plugging it in to charge while still using the computer can cause iCUE to crash. Exiting wireless range can cause iCUE to crash. Troubleshooting surround audio can cause iCUE to crash. Nothing about the premium features justifying this headset's price are supported by the software responsible for making it all work. If you don't mind troubleshooting your own PC this is a great headset. If you want something that just works, buy a wired Corsair headset, or go for a different non-Corsair wireless brand.

These are fantastic. They are lightweight and very comfortable, easy to adjust and connect. Build quality seems nice and the headset does not look as if it has any serious design defects like the Razer Blacksharks (never buy those, they are flimsy). The software was not a problem for me and allowed for simple EQ adjustments to make them sound better, which is mandatory as none of these headsets sound good out of the box. The microphone is one of the best in class and is a big reason why I've kept these. The mic on the HS80 (non-Max edition) and the Blacksharks (which you should not buy due to terrible build quality) are two of the best integrated headset mics on the market. Basically every other headset maker skimps on the mic, even the more expensive ones. You can't EQ the HS80 mic in Corsair's software but I didn't need to, as it sounded fine out of the box without adjustments. It's low-profile and easy to flip out of the way when muting or not using it. Flaw #1 is the battery life, but there should be no problem if you make sure to simply charge it when you're not using it. [Note that the HS80 Max edition has a much better battery, but they downgraded the mic and removed charging while using it for some reason. So I'd actually go for the cheaper HS80s instead of the Max edition.] Flaw #2 is the wireless range, which is not very far. Should be no problem if you're walking around in the same room but you can expect to lose connection if there's a wall between you and the dongle. Not a problem for me, I just take my headset off, but you can't expect to consistently use these away from your setup. Overall the HS80s are a fantastic midrange wireless headset and I'd highly recommend them to gamers looking for this specific type of device regardless of budget. The entire market for wireless gaming headsets is a little atrocious and I had to wade through a lot of trash to finally find a headset worth keeping, and this is probably it. There are headsets which are way more expensive which have worse mics or other issues.

Decent audio quality, and some of the best mic quality you can get from a headset. iCue software(what comes with) is terrible, definitely download “equalizer apo” for audio and boosting the mic as it can be a little quiet out of the box Owned for over 2 years: had to replace ear pads, but no hassle and no other faults

Corsair HS80 Wireless with custom cooling gel ear pads. I bought them after the Void Elite Wireless (with the same ear pads), and I'm as happy as an elephant. In my opinion, ear pads with cooling gel are the best, because the sound becomes much richer. After buying the HS80, I immediately wanted the same ear pads that I bought for the Void Elite Wireless (Misodiko Cooling Gel). I can't help but note the presence of Dolby Atmos. Thanks to it, positioning in games has become much better, watching a movie has become much more enjoyable. The microphone has the clearest sound, but sometimes it lacks volume, but this is solved by amplifying the microphone in iCUE. They hold a charge all day, but I put them on charge every night. The operating range is short, but the connection speed is instant. Rarely after interrupting the connection and reconnecting, the microphone quality deteriorates, but this is solved by restarting the headphones. When connected to an iPhone (it does not matter, with a TYPE-C cable or connecting the transmitter directly to the phone) at maximum volume in the phone, the headphone sound is at 75-80 percent. You need to turn the volume control in order to set the sound to 100%. And when connecting the transmitter to the phone, the keyboard on the iPhone stops opening. But music from Apple Music to Lossless and Dolby Atmos sounds simply perfect in these headphones in my opinion. When you put them on charge, they turn on and stay with the backlight on. When you turn off the voice prompts, they stop making a sound signal when you turn off or turn on the microphone. On the Void Elite Wireless, when I turned them off, the sound prompts remained. Display battery charge. On the same Void Elite Wireless, although not very accurately, the percentage of charge was displayed, and on the HS80 only 4 states: High, medium, low and critical. And so, not counting these disadvantages, as for me, these are excellent headphones that you can safely buy (This also applies to the HS80 Max version)

TLDR: This headset is the epitome of enshi*ification. WAY too small. Sounds like listening to music through still full soup can. And the mids, where comms and voices live, are so muddy I could not stand it. It is in no way worth the value. For context, I ADORE Corsair products, and have been using them for more than a decade. And leaving this review saddens as much as it enrages me. Fitment / Size: When I tried to put this on... I thought it was a joke. My exact words to my friend were "Is this made for a child? Did I buy the wrong headset?" No. I did not. Even my friend tried it on and said "They feel like they are going to spring off of my head" They are simply far too small. Being totally fair; I have a large head, I'm a large man, but this is still beyond a joke. Now this would not be as much a problem if it had extending arms, which it does not. Or if the headband was metal so at least it could be bent out a little to feel less like a clamp. But no. All the adjustment is done with the PLASTIC headband's elastic band. Elastic worn every day on potentially sweaty, or oily, heads wont last 2 years, I promise that. You cant even bend this one into a comfortable shape because the headband is entirely plastic. The ear cups however, if ignoring the headband, size, and all other aspects, were as comfortable and plush as a cloud. I absolutely loved their fit on my ears! If only it was not cursing my head like a nutcracker... Sound Quality: I wore this for less than 15 mins and realized it was irredeemable. I'm no Audiophile, I enjoy 'good enough' as much as the next guy. I ran through the typical setup, choosing frequency, making sure it was charged, making sure it was set as default device, updated drivers, adjusted the EQ, and... it still sounded so crowded, and so muffled; I felt as if I was in an underwater closet. I tried normal Communication with friends. The mic, apparently is indeed crystal clear, and just as good as ever! So good job on that front, that is exactly the quality I had previously came to expect from Corsair over these many long years. But MY audio, the shapeless, vile, sound oozing, like toxic sludge through the earphones, was so filthy, so repugnant, so muddy, and tainted,... I could not stomach listening fully through to just the 4 songs. For reference, I try a variate of songs, and games when testing headsets. For this one, I tried Essenger - "Downfall" for its wide range and clear vocals. The song was compressed from a broad stage, into just a tiny space that made it claustrophobic to hear. And the vocals sounded akin to talking over noise suppression headsets from heavy industry. Trust me, i'd know that sound as a trucker. I even double checked and no it was not on. No noise suppression was used. Dolby Atmos was not used. Many tunes of the EQ rendered only minor improvements over 3 listens. The only positive thing I can say was that the bass, was pretty punchy, and clearly the main focus point of this headset. Spiderbite - "Black Betty" for its driving guitar riffs, bass guitar, and drums set to a distorted lo-fi/fried vocal. And the vocal... was just as clear as the previous song which is horrific. I felt this would have been a perfect fit for this headset, the fried and distorted vocals, the punchy thrumming bass, but... it was all still ruined by the total lack of highs, and muddy disgusting mids. The Seatbelts - "Waltz for Iziz" & "Cat Blues" for their distinct highs and more classical instruments. All of which sounded like I was listening to it on an authentic gramophone. If that was the goal, I'd have loved it. But the fact is, the stage presence was tiny, the sounds were all jumbled together, and the highs and mids were reminiscent of a muddy road after a herd of duly incontinent buffalo had stampeded down it. Corsair, I really hope you read this as I've been a huge fan and supporter since 2015; when you started your headset venture. I owned your ram, headsets, fans, keyboards, mice, pretty much everything but a case from you. And this has totally broken the trust I had in you. My love and trust for your products started to fade with the far too small Corsair Virtuoso. But they had a metal frame, so I could bend them to fit somewhat. And they sounded so absolutely stellar, I could forgive the actual pain of wearing them. Which breaks my heart as the first pair of Corsair Voids I wore were the single most comfortable headset I've ever worn. Its why I bought 4 of them in my lifetime. I latter got the corsair mechanical keyboard when it came out, even if you manufactured it in such a way you could not replace keys at all by snapping them around the aluminum face plate locking the board to it through the caps and hiding their release tabs in the middle of this sandwich. I genuinely hate to say it Corsair, but unless you did something to astound me, its over. I will take my longstanding business elsewhere. As it is; I returned it same day. I could not stand to wear it physically, or stand to mentally hear the noises it made.

The mic quality is the main reason why I bought this headset after a lot of online reviews praised it, and it definitely delivers there. The sound quality is also good, relative to other gaming headsets and less so audiophile level headphones that cost 5x the price of this, so definitely good enough for me. It also feels good on my head and over my ears and I can wear it for hours without ever feeling discomfort, like my head has been in a vice, or my ears feeling crushed. Where this headset falls short after about 1.5 years of using it is its connectivity and some design problems. It will seemingly at random disconnect from its 2.4ghz connection and force my to plug in the cable. It's not because of low power, because when I check the power level in the software (which is pretty janky), it's not anywhere near the red. When this happens in game and you lose all sound suddenly, it's an extreme pain and annoyance to have to get the cable when it matters. The whole point of me wanting this headset was to have no wire tethering me to the computer like I'm in Tron, so it's a huge let down to have this problem. There are two other design issues that have gotten on my nerves over 1.5 years of using this to the point I want to get a different headset. The first is the on/off button on the headset. You have to hold it down to turn it on or off, which you think wouldn't be an issue. But if it turns off after no sound has been used for a bit, or you press it but don't hold it down for long enough, there's a long pause you need to wait before trying again. *Presses button for 3 seconds, releases* *Nothing happens* *immediately goes to press button to redo it. After 5 seconds nothing happens because I didn't wait long enough* Just put in a toggle that you can push up or down!!! I'm not sure why some designers want one button to rule them all, but make a simple toggle like other brands do to avoid this problem. The second issue is it beeping when you're out of range of the connection. If you walk maybe 20 feet away, it'll beep at you constantly to let you know you're no longer close enough to hear any sound from your game/video/song/whatever. Gee, I know that because I walked away, and then the sudden loss of audio will clue me in that I'm out of range. Why would you beep at the user to let them know they're out of range??? It's not like I'm a truck backing up and need beeps to let everyone around me know I'm moving. No way to turn that off either, and for how big and intense the software is, you really can't change much of anything on the headset. The mic quality is great, and if you want a headset just for that, this is pretty good, but I'd pass on this headset because of these design problems and its frequent disconnecting.

Excelentes audífonos inalámbricos. Compré este modelo en especial porque soporta dolby Atmos. Inicialmente los usé con Amazon Music porque soportaba este estándar, pero por alguna razón descontinuaron el servicio y cambié a Apple Música que is lo soporta, así como otros estándares como Hi-Res Lossless. La calidad es muy buena, tanto en Windows como en Mac.Como el dongle (transmisor) es usb A, para usarlo en una Mac Air M5 es necesario un adaptador usb a a usb c. No bajó la calidad con el adaptador. Los uso también para videoconferencias y aisla muy bien el sonido con el ligero detalle que en mi caso me cansa las orejas después de una hora de uso. Con un uso no contínuo puedo cargarlos una vez a la semana sin quedarme sin batería. Para mi gusto sería bueno que se incluyera un soporte para el escritorio. No son pesados para mi gusto. Tiene su propia aplicación para amos Windows y Mac, con la que permite personalizar la ecualización entre otras cosas.

افضل سماعة جربتها الى الان عزل جيد نوعا ما بسبب ان الاير كبز من الفايبر لو انه جلد كان العزل افضل لكن ايجابية الاير كبز الفايبر تعطي مساحة للاذن تتنفس +حجمها ممتاز جدا البطارية عمرها ممتاز جدا ما اذكر انها قد طفت علي بالقيم المهم تطفي ال ار جي بي والامور بتمشي الصوت فخم بشكل مافيه اي تشتيت صوتي + حرفيا تدخلك بجو اللعبه ومريحة على الراس جدا راسي كبير الصراحة والى الان اشوف انها مريحة

Somente peça quando o assunto são os graves. Surround e ergonomia perfeitos Agora vamos ver a durabilidade, se dura tanto quanto o anterior, G935 que foi de 2019 a 2026. O fabricante é tradicional de memórias

Best headset ive ever used !! why?? the fact that you get lifetime Dolby Atmos membership is the best thing, Dolby atmos is absolutely superior when it comes to sound quality, its often used in Cinemas. using it for almost more than 2 years, battery is still in great shape. its super comfy , mic quality is fantastic. Im really happy with my purchase.
