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: The mic is fantastic
Review: The headphones aren't bad either. I bought these used for a lower price, so that may be affecting my perception, but they really do sound great on both ends. If you watch reviews for them on YouTube, you really can't tell when they switch from using their professional microphones to using the audio from these. That's impressive for a headset, my god. The RGB lights are annoying, but that can be handled with their iCUE software on WIndows and Mac. For Linux users, you're kinda effed, but if you set the RGB profile the way you want while connected to a real OS, the profile will remain on the hardware no matter what Linux distro you're using them with. ( I use suicide BTW)They're comfortable on the ears, and the head, though they may not fit a small person/child. The build quality is excellent. I will make complaints as I have them, but for now I have none. They might be a little much in the high-frequency range, but that can be knocked out with an equalizer. Good product. They sound just as good as other headphones in their price range, maybe better, and then the mic sounds just as good as a dedicated omnidirectional you would buy for $50. Well worth the price IMO.

Title: Premium audio hardware plagued by sub-par software, an expensive own-goal
Review: 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.

Title: High Quality gaming headset
Review: All around a very comfortable headset. The audio quality is great and you have the ability to set your own audio profiles through the icue app (and much more). The microphone quality struggled initially when the headset first came out but that was repaired through a firmware update so don’t worry if you’ve seen reports of that before because it’s no longer an issue. The microphone quality is also much better than most gaming headsets to date and it being bluetooth really adds a cherry on top because those don’t really go hand in hand. They hold up very well but my only complaint is that the earphones wore out after a while but they’re very easily replaceable with custom ones so you don’t have to worry there either. It’s honestly a great headset.

Review: As I said I got these after the V’s. I originally loved those for like 2-3 years but as time went on they were too heavy for my head and gave me migraines, the pleather on them quickly wears down -but- the sound quality was top notch. I bought these because a friend put me on the headset strap design, he has the steel series of similar value. I tried them but I hated the sound in comparison. Tried my GFs razor kraken ( the kitty ear ones of course) to see if I like razors sound profile. Way too much bass.But theseSame great sound quality as my Vs with a little more bass but only enough to make the sound feel fuller. I play tarkov/squad/war thunder/ and other games where sound plays a key role in the game hence why I was picky but these are like the Porsche Caymen if the V’s were the Porsche 911. Same great unmaskable quality and feel. The thing you miss out on and where the extra money goes to with the V’s is the things that come with it and the bodies construction imoThe HS80’s arent completely metal like the V’s and don’t come with a cross stitched magnetic bag to carry them in but they’re hands down the my favourite headset I’ve tried.I’ve triedVirtuoso’s (8.5/10)Razor kraken kitty ear (6.5/10)Razor black shark V2 (7.5/10)Steel series arctic nova pro’s (7.5/10)JBL Quantum 910’s (6.5/10)ROG certa 2’s (in ear headphones but wouldn’t call them IEM’s) (4.5/10)

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: ACTUALIZADO NOV 2024Debes saber que en general es un articulo bueno me gusto el color blanco y la calidad me parece correcta con sonido normal nada que sorprenda 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-Buen volumen nunca los uso al 100 no lo veo 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 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.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.

Review: This is what i've been looking for. Good sound quality and mic is also crisp. Gaming with this on Valorant is just a cherry on top.
