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

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.

As the title states, these headphones feel and sound great to use! The microphone is also one of the more premium kinds that I have had the pleasure of using. Compared to my last pair of wireless headphones, the HyperX Cloud2s, the HS80s here are dang near the same level of quality except in 2 departments, one being good and the other pretty bad. For the good difference: Build Quality. This is actually a massive jump above the HyperX Cloud IIs as I managed to break multiple pair over the course of a few years from general use. But, so far this headset feels so much more durable! The Cloud IIs had shoddy materials used in the hinges that allow the headband to be adjustable, and I have also had issues with wired headsets of theirs give out too. Although I can excuse them a bit as they at least lasted over a year in terms of use, but the HS80s from Corsair feel like they could last me a few (3+) years in comparison. Next, the BAD difference: The main issue I have with the HS80s in comparison to the Cloud II's is the battery life, which is near ABYSSMAL. The battery on this headphone seems extremely bad for a headset of this quality and price-point. My HyperX pairs all lasted multiple DAYS between a full charge session. But the HS80 pair? It seems like I need to remember to charge them daily, even if I don’t end up using them, so when I do decide to play online with friends the headset has more than 40% battery. The other bad part is how fast the battery drains when in use. If at 40% when starting, it takes less than 2 hours to drain the battery to 0 and have the headset die in the middle of gaming. Another major complaint I have is the lack of notification of when the headset is low on battery. The Cloud II headset plays an audio noise when on to tell you its low on battery without needing to look at a task bar icon or anything. The HS80 set requires you to have access to the taskbar to be able to see the icon, which is a huge problem when the taskbar is hidden while playing any modern game in Fullscreen mode (borderless or otherwise) so I am in the dark on the power levels until all the sound vanishes and the headset just dies with no warning. This is a major gripe for me, a simple sound to notify me of a low battery would be leagues better than what is implemented now. Now while I have a fairly long USB-C cable to ensure the headset is powered while gaming, it seems like this headset doesn’t like being wireless as much as it does being wired. Final verdict: Would I recommend this headset? Yes. Though it’s battery is abysmal at best, overall the build quality, sound quality and Mic quality are all stellar for this price point. I just wish Corsair took a bit of initiative to make the battery be on the same level as the rest of the product. This headset gets a 4 out of 5!

Comfortable, battery is ok*, sound is ok stock (a lot better with iCue if you're on PC). The mic as far as I can tell and what friends have said, sounds good (you get a gain option through iCue). I can't totally recommend this for console due to the stock sound not being anything over the top. I can totally recommend these for PC user and have seen tons of PC players using these. Apparently, there is a Max version of this headset, wish I knew before I ordered, but it's all good. I'm happy with it regardless. I'm coming from Logitech. Not going to lie, I still love Logitech, but this headset has been an awesome alternative to a past favorite! *UPDATE after a month: I'm not sure if it's a fluke or I got lucky, but I am getting great battery life. I was editing photos the other night for about 5+hours. Listening to Spotify the entire time. Had iCue set on Bass Boost with my PC volume at about 30 (Spotify volume almost all the way up). I don't use any RGB..mainly because it isn't very extravagant. The battery lasted and the entire time with plenty of time to spare. For the first and second night I had the headset the battery life was alright. Roughly with the same use as I explain above, and it wouldn't last terribly long. Not sure what happened, but it last great now. Summing up: I think this is a great PC headset with the use of the iCue program. It has great sound and for me the battery last great! It is also very comfortable, and I wear glasses regularly. The mic from what i've experience is great as well! I would not recommend this for console players. I'm not saying don't buy, but my reasoning would be due to the stock audio not being anything over the top. (Though you can possibly improve your listening experience if your system allows you to mess with EQ) Hope this helped!

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.

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 fabric on the left ear came loose at around 1000 hours of use but it may have happened earlier as I am a little unsure of the timeline. After an additional 100 hours The fabric on the right ear followed suite. The fabric and its tightness both hide and secure foam padding underneath which will simply fall out if not secured in its proper place. It is my assessment that not enough fabric was used on each ear causing excessive stretching and tension. Additionally, the adhesive utilized by the manufacturer was either not strong enough, improperly applied or a combination of both. One or many of these potentially compounding factors led to me having to super glue the fabric back into their proper positions to fully and securely cover the earcups. Initially the wireless range worked as stated but quickly lost its strength at a seemingly constant rate through the hours of usage. By month 6 of ownership the headset would struggle to send and receive data at half of its initial maximum distance from the receiver. Starting at around 2000 hours the headset began to forget its settings every so often when exiting and re-entering its ever degrading signal range (This is solved with a simple restart of the headset). The microphone quality is quite good and is one of the best on a wireless headset. There does not seem to be an option to turn off the red light when the microphone is in the up position. (Personal nitpick) The headset has several audio presets but to my ear they all sound quite poor and seem to be a low effort gimmick. The audio quality is standard and I was able to copy a decent Dolby Access audio profile from a YouTube video. As of the day I am typing this the inside of the headsets charging port has fallen out after normal removal of the charging cord. (Standard use) This means I can no longer charge the headset.

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.

Bought this a year ago to replace an old headset that couldn't seem to work. I've had no issues with these. They work well, sound is great, my voice comes through great, and they're comfortable. I've gotten a lot of use out of them and would definitely recommend. My only thing is I wish the ability to mute yourself was a button and not just pushing the mic up, but it's not a big deal.

ACTUALIZADO FEBRERO 2025 Debes saber que en general es un articulo bueno me gusto el color blanco y la calidad me parece correcta, empaque muy bien y con sonido normal. Tiene algunas desventajas que hay que tener en cuenta. Ventajas: -Muy comodos -Microfono excelente lo uso para llamadas de trabajo y juegos -Compatibilidad con discord -Buen volumen nunca los uso al 100 no lo veo necesario -Puedes usarlos mientras se cargan -No hay delay cuando juegas en PC o Play Desventajas: -Son comodos pero al paso de unas horas llegan a lastimar por la parte de arriba. -No puedes usarlos en Xbox, telefono, switch. Solo PC y Play 4/5 mediante usb -Sin conector de Jack 3.5 -Sin Bluetooth -El rango del adaptador es muy corto no son 18 mts aunque se conectan rapido al regresar al rango -La bateria dura muy poco. -Problemas de compatibilidad en windows. Si tienes un ecualizador instalado puede tener fallas y no escucharse bien ya que el Icue puede tener problemas con el dolby atmos, incluso Icue te recomienda desinstalar otro controlador de audio. En mi caso uso Icue porque controla mejor el microfono. Por lo tanto aunque tenga dolby atmos no siempre lo puedo utilizar ya que a veces ni siquiera detecta mis perfiles de audio. Para mi trabajo funcionan bien. Trabajo en oficina y no salgo del rango del adaptador. En el caso de la bateria que no dura nada solo lo conecto y los sigo usando. Update: Despues de casi un año de usarlos puedo decir que para llamadas es muy bueno, el microfono me funciona muy bien, las almohadillas de tela son muy buenas no dan calor, la parte del soporte de arriba tiene un recubrimiento que se fue despegando/pelando en 5 meses por el sudor. El audio es basico/normal no destaca mucho, esto tambien se debe al problema de compatibilidad que puede tener Icue con dolby atmos y windows esto hace que sea complicado tener un buen perfil que mejore el audio, pero en general para audio/musica estan normales, si no eres exigente pueden ser buenos para ti. Es buen producto no pienso cambiarlos hasta que dejen de funcionar. Personalmente no uso estos para escuchar musica el audio no me convence, uso otros audifonos y un dac externo para el audio hi res. Tambien hay que considerar que ya hay una version mas nueva de este modelo.
