Title: Arguably one of best gaming headsets on the market
Review: 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.

Title: The most comfortable headphones I've used
Review: 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)

Title: Professional Sounding Microphone
Review: I have two pairs of headphones. One is for high quality listening and the other is for a satisfying sounding microphone. As you can probably guess, the Corsair is the latter as it has a microphone slapped right on the side. I may as well just call this a microphone with a pair of headphones attached to it because the voice quality is insanely good for a gaming headset based at this price. The mic is comparable to a mini boom mic. It is like ASMR levels of good.With enough praise aside, I feel the comfort is a bit lackluster due to the awkward place of the band. This makes the ears feel a bit sore after long periods of being attached to your head. Also, the earmuffs are a little too cushy, almost like your ears are being suffocated and are struggling to breathe. If I could explain the sound, it would be hollow. If I am not mistaken, you can adjust the settings for the app that they have associate with the headphones for a fairly sufficient compromise.I would like to reiterate once again the microphone is great. I used it for a podcast once rather than going into the studio it was pretty much comparable.Please tamper your expectations as I am sure there are other options, such as buying a standalone microphone. But, this is probably the best mid-range "gaming" headphones for the microphone alone, in my humble opinion.

Review: This headset not only complements my ARGB/Aura SYNC light setup with its dynamic lighting but also delivers outstanding functionality, the logo light up and I was able to add it to my music beat light show with my pc, keyboard, mouse, speaker.The microphone's ability to detect and isolate only your voice is a game-changer, eliminating the need to constantly mute and unmute during conversations. I tried to put the microphone right next to my speaker playing loud music and it isolated it and never activated since it had detected it was a song and not someone speaking. The feature of muting when the microphone is lifted is very convenient.The comfort factor, combined with Dolby Audio 7.1 Surround Sound, enhances the overall gaming and audio experience.In summary, the Corsair HS80 RGB USB headset offers a perfect blend of aesthetics, functionality, and comfort. If you're looking for a premium gaming headset with advanced features, this one is a top-notch choice. A well-deserved 5/5 for its outstanding performance and seamless integration especially at that price point!

Review: Até ontem estava tudo perfeito. Som maravilho e conforto sem igual. Aí hoje estou usando e percebo que tem algo estranho no encaixe na cabeça. Quando vou observar, vejo que está descolando o tecido que cobre a espuma. Já foi de cima até embaixo, na parte de trás. Mais um pouco solta tudo e a espuma vai cair, pois ela não é colada. Paguei R$ 850, o mais caro que já paguei num fone, e é o que está começando a dar sinais de deterioamento mais cedo de todos. E pensar que o meu medo era o pivô de cada copo ficar flexionando para fora e quebrar, como já aconteceu com outros do tipo que tive no passado.Até ontem, recomendaria a compra. Hoje, já não mais

Review: Eu tinha um astro a50 e ele parou de funcionar, então pesquisei bastante e achei esse da corsair.Fiquei com um pouco de receio, mas depois que usei ele, vi que é sensacional, na minha opinião melhor até que o astro a50.Eu vi um vídeo em inglês, que ensina fazer uma configuração no equalizador para diversas marcas e uma delas era no equalizador da corsair, e ficou muito boa, fácil de distinguir passos e tals.O restante, pra ouvir música, o microfone, também são excelentes

Review: Debes saber que en general es un articulo muy bueno me gusta mucho el color el mio es blanco y la calidad me parece correcta con sonido excelente! Se nota que es de Corsair tiene cosas que hace sentir que tienes un producto premium pero tambien tiene sus desventajas que hay que tener en cuenta.Ventajas:-Muy comodos-Microfono excelente lo uso para llamadas de trabajo y juegos-Compatibilidad con discord los reconoce al instante-Ecualizador nivelado no dominan los bajos como otras marcas (Sony, razer)-Buen sonido nunca los uso al 100 de volumen no es necesario-Puedes usarlos mientras se cargan-No hay delay cuando juegas en PC o PlayDesventajas:-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 no dura mucho-Problemas de compatibilidad en windows. Si tienes un ecualizador instalado puede tener fallas y no escucharse bien. Por ejemplo yo tengo Alienware comand center en laptop. Ese programa falla con el Icue y ninguno funciona incluso el ecualizador integrado de windows llega a fallar. Al final no pude instalar dolby atmos porque tambien falla. Incluso Icue te recomienda desinstalar otro controlador de audio, en mi caso no puedo ya que es necesario para el control de ventiladores y temperatura. Solucion, no instalar Dobly atmos y no mover nada del sonido de windows.Parece que las desventajas son mas pero para el uso que le doy ni lo noto.Trabajo en oficina no salgo del rango del adaptador en el caso de la bateria solo lo conecto y sigo trabajando incluso suenan mejor conectados.Para mi uso son perfectos y me encantan doy prioridad al sonido, comodidad y microfono.

Review: Das Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless Premium Gaming Headset ist eines der besten Headsets, die ich je hatte. Der 3D-Surround-Sound ist beeindruckend und ideal zum Zocken. Der Tragekomfort ist hoch, auch bei langen Sessions. Die kabellose Verbindung ist stabil und die Akkulaufzeit reicht für ausgedehnte Gaming-Marathons. Das Mikrofon liefert klare Sprachqualität. Ein Must-have für jeden Gamer.
