Corsair HS80 RGB Headset Wireless Head-band Gaming White

The key thing that attracted me to this headset is the quality of the audio from the microphone. I have a few teens, two of them game, and have been through 6 headsets in the last 4 years. This has been a learning experience. I have had to replace batteries, and 3 microphones.What I have learned is that there is always a trade-off. Replaceable microphones vs better microphones. Wireless vs batteries only work for 2 years (and non-replaceable without a soldering iron).The Corsair HS80 is the latest attempt to find the perfect headset.The pros:1. Excellent audio speakers2. Excellent audio microphone (well balanced - don't sound as if you are in a toilet)3. Battery lasts a reasonable amount of time4. ComfortableThe cons:1. The strength of the wireless is ... MoreThe key thing that attracted me to this headset is the quality of the audio from the microphone.

Corsair is Making my Ears Very Happy w/ the HS80s!

The Corsair HS80 RGB headphones with USB connection are now my favorite gaming headphones to date. I did not think these would beat my go to Gaming headphones but boy was I pleasantly surprised. The HS80s are a USB only connection but the best part, they work with iCue and the adjustable nature of these are great as I already utilize iCue for multiple other Corsair products.The HS80 is a 7.1 Dolby headset with massive 50mm drivers tuned for 20hz to 40khz (even though the human ear cannot hear much if anything over 20khz) and is Dolby Atmos ready. The iCue program has the adjustability to turn on and off Dolby Sound along with Stereo setting. The Equalizer has some basic presets but I always fine tune my equalizer listening to a few videos of myself playing FPS and ... MoreThe Corsair HS80 RGB headphones with USB connection are now my favorite gaming headphones to date.

The iCue program has the adjustability to turn on and off Dolby Sound along with Stereo setting. The Equalizer has some basic presets but I always fine tune my equalizer listening to a few videos of myself playing FPS and Sim Racing games. The 7.1 surround shines white playing FPS games for myself, compared to my headphones that were almost 3 times the price, these are faster reacting, true directional sound and I could even hear the footsteps easier.The long wire USB setup usually means low volume but not with the Corsair HS80s, they are loud but safe all the way to 100%, they will not blow your ears out but get ready for some killer immersion while gaming and even movie watching. Music also sounds great, very clear, no muddy sound, just clean bass, does not sound like an 80s Caprice trunk in a Sheetz parking lot at 2am bumping Eminem, it sounds like you are at the studio listening to him sing it right next to you.Also, with iCue, there are some RGB settings you can change to make the logo match up in color with your other iCue devices, great for that streamer like myself that loves uniformity. You can adjust the mic sensitivity, make the mute button a different key assignment if you please and even adjust the brightness of your color changing logo.Comfort is a HUGE plus with these, memory foam ear pads that feel amazing on your ears, hours of use and not one time have I wanted to remove them. The ear pads breathe quite well which makes for a no ear sweat and enjoyable gaming experience. The strap is an adjustable and soft band, being adjustable via Velcro from under than main hard material band. Looks are not boring at all and the tuck away mic is a nice touch. Flip the mic up, it is off, flip it down, it is on, great for when your kids or spouse walks in the room.I am extremely happy with the Corsair HS80 RGB USB headphones, just wish their RGB stand did not cost almost as much, it would be a great addition to my already growing Corsair and iCue setup.Pros:Fit and ComfortLooksiCue compatibilityAmazing Sound7.1 DolbyWired and is long for great reachWorks with Xbox and PCMuch More!Cons:NOT A SINGLE ONE I CAN FIND!!!For the price, you will not be unhappy with this purchase, at sub $100, I do not think you can find a much better USB set of headphones and I have almost 20 pairs from years of testing and gaming, these would be my first choice to date.

Corsair nailed it with this headset

Corsair's HS80 RGB headset has 7.1 surround sound and Dolby Atmos audio. I love RGB anything but was a little disappointing when only the tiny little logo on the ear is the only part that's RGB. It'd be cool if the mic boom had a line of RGB going down the outside of it or a ring outlining the ear muff or something. It does have a small light on the end of the mic though. It definitely looks and feels like a premium quality headset. With the padded headband and aluminum swivel joints, these look stylish and seem to be very durable. Corsair's ICUE program really lets you tweak the rgb settings and sync it with your other ICUE items.But anyways onto everything else, The headphones themselves are made out of breathable memory foam and are very comfortable.

Corsair's ICUE program really lets you tweak the rgb settings and sync it with your other ICUE items.But anyways onto everything else, The headphones themselves are made out of breathable memory foam and are very comfortable. The band that goes over the top of your head is really flexible and not too tight which is ideal for gaming for long periods of time and is also adjustable. I've had other headsets that actually cause my head to hurt because of that. I like the fact that the ear muffs swivel also. So if you wanted to listen for something outside of the game or whatever you're listening to it's easy by just adjusting it off of your ear instead of having to overstretch the headset sideways.The sound is really nice, I had no complaints when gaming and all who I played with could hear me perfectly with minimal background noise as well. It had a really nice bass and crisp clear highs.It charges with USB type C which is great for faster charging. It has a nice jog dial for volume on the ear instead of having to wonder if you're pushing the right button up or down for volume.I'd highly recommend these to others

Gaming Headphones w/o RGB Overload

INITIAL SET-UP AND CONFIGURATIONThe Corsair HS80's check all the boxes for a common set of gaming headphones this day and age. They sport 50mm drivers, are compatible with Windows Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos, and support audio resolutions up to 24bits/96kHz. Additionally, as is a near requirement for all headphones these days, the beloved RGB lighting. Thankfully, Corsair has done a great job, showing a lot of restraint, by not pushing RGB overload to where you want to puke at the gaudiness. It is one of the best and most tasteful implementations of RGB lighting I've seen to date.USE AND PERFORMANCEThe HS80's do a good job at their intended purpose.

Thankfully, Corsair has done a great job, showing a lot of restraint, by not pushing RGB overload to where you want to puke at the gaudiness. It is one of the best and most tasteful implementations of RGB lighting I've seen to date.USE AND PERFORMANCEThe HS80's do a good job at their intended purpose. Thankfully, Corsair has integrated their headphones into their iCue software. The iCue software is Corsair's version of the Logitech G-Hub, Razer Synapse, etc. All of Corsair's peripherals can be controlled and configured via the iCue software.I love how the iCue software integrates with your system's bios and monitoring. Without any tedious tweaking, the iCue software allows you to monitor the systems' vitals in real time without any additional add-ons. My favorite feature is that you can configure the RGB lighting on nearly any of their iCue peripherals based on any one of the numerous parameters the iCue plug-ins monitor. I typically have the iCue software monitor CPU and GPU temps. As those temps climb, I have the iCue give me visible feedback by color based on their current temps. It is slick and works seamlessly without eating into a ton of the system's overhead. Any iCue peripheral can be programmed with this visual feedback or all of them combined, or any other number of lighting options. Each peripheral is treated separately and uniquely in the software, allowing for different lighting customizations and options.The iCue software also allows you to tailor the headphones sonically. While the effects are noticeable, the HS80's definitely play on the warm side. Regardless of the EQ setting, the headphones perform better in the lower octaves than the higher ones. While this isn't a huge pitfall playing FPS games, it does rear its ugly head during music and movies. I won't say they sound awful, far from it, but the HS80's do not have the upper frequency clarity that many of their competitors do. I tried numerous built-in EQ settings, manually adjusting the EQ settings, and finally just setting the EQ to flat, and I was never able to fully liven up the upper octaves. They are a "laid back" sounding set of headphones, geared toward what I would consider a single mission.NEGATIVESThe included USB-C cable is too short. Clocking in at only 6 feet, it didn't cut it for me. Someone with a PC at the far edge of desk or on the floor will immediately need at least a 10 foot USB-C cable to be comfortable.While I applaud the iCue software for its versatility and thoroughness, it all comes at a price. That price is space. The iCue software has now ballooned to almost one full gigabyte. That is a ridiculously large size. That is also just the installation file, not once it has been extracted and installed. Ugh.The HS80's are capable of reproducing audio at 24bits / 96kHz. However, the iCue software does not do an adequate job of allowing you to setting the audio quality or giving you feedback at what is playing. While I understand the audio quality is fully dependent on the source material, the iCue software only allows you to turn the surround sound on or off and I did not see any real way to go and fully optimize the surround sound. For that, I had to open the Windows Audio property app to fully tailor the sound. This should all be able to be accomplished in the iCue software. My JBL headphones allow me to do it within the app, even allowing me to enable my Dolby Atmos or DTS:X Headphone extensions within their app. An oversight on Corsair's part.FINAL THOUGHTSIf I needed a set of headphones geared specifically for gaming, these HS80's are a worthy consideration. Game playback is first rate and the included microphone picks up voices clearly and intelligibly without transmitting every single background noise it can hear. The 50mm drivers do an awesome job at reproducing the lower octaves, even if they give up detail and clarity in the upper frequencies. Games sound awesome on the HS80's. However, for me, headphones needed to be able fulfill different missions. They not only have to excel at games, they have to be great at movies and music too. In that regard, the HS80's come up short in my book. I will give them 4 stars because of the awesome gaming prowess, but only 3 stars for music and movies.Recommended.

Good headset, buggy app.

The Corsair HS80 Headset has some quality features but it’s companied by a faulty app.The build quality on the headset definitely looks and feels premium. The hinges on the earpieces are made up of metal, so you won’t have to worry about them breaking off. The mic is built into the left earpiece and does not detach. Although, you can move it all the way up, this also auto mutes the mic when in the up position. The mic is a long piece of flexible rubber that’s not very stiff at all, it doesn’t do a good job at holding an exact position. The earcups are made of a sued-like material, that does a good job at both providing comfort and blocking out external noise. There is a manual volume nob on the left ear, as well as a mute mic button…I have no idea why they decided ... MoreThe Corsair HS80 Headset has some quality features but it’s companied by a faulty app.The build quality on the headset definitely looks and feels premium.

The earcups are made of a sued-like material, that does a good job at both providing comfort and blocking out external noise. There is a manual volume nob on the left ear, as well as a mute mic button…I have no idea why they decided to add a mute mic button, when all you have to do is raise the microphone, which acts as its own mute button… The headset connects to your PC via USB type B cable and the cable is built into the left earpiece, so it can’t be removed. I would have liked for Corsair to have made a detachable cable, this would have been nice in case I run out of USB B ports, and I need to attach it io a USB-C port. Not to mention, many new computers only have USB-C ports, so it makes them have to buy an extra adapter in order to use it.The sound quality on the HS80 is good. There is plenty of bass and there is a good distinguish between highs and lows. The sound is easy to hear and very smooth, not ear piercing like many headphones I’ve tried in the past. The bass in the headphone is incredible, its so effected that it almost tricks your brain into thinking your whole body is rumbling. The headset is Dolby 7.1 surround compatible, but only with the Corsair app installed, otherwise you can use Windows Sonic for headphones. With the Corsair app you can adjust the EQ of the headset, you can choose from an assorted number of presets, or you can create your own custom settings. There is also a toggle that lets you choose between stereo of Dolby Surround. As for the mic in the headset, the people on the other end didn’t seem to have any problems hearing me at all, so from what I can tell it sounds good.The Corsair App could really use an update. This is the app you use need to use if you want to change your lighting, custom controls, volume settings etc. Not just for headsets, but for all types of Corsair devices including mice, keyboards, lighting towers etc. In my experience the app hasn’t worked very well, it would constantly freeze, not apply the correct lighting effects, of just randomly stop working all together.Overall, the HS80 is a solid gaming headset. The level of comfort is great, I was able to use it for long gaming sessions without any pain or irritations. The build quality is top notch, and the sound is good. The downside to the headset is the cable isn’t detachable, so it forces you to use a USB B. Having to use the buggy Corsair app to enable Dolby surround is another downside, it makes me think this is just a software feature and not actually a headphone feature…Otherwise, this is a stellar gaming headset and I would recommend it to gamers.

Great Sound that Doesn't Break the Bank

I own and love the wireless version of these gaming cans and wanted to see how the wired version compares on my gaming PC. I'm happy to report that the USB wired version sound just as good with the same tonal qualities of the wireless version. While the wireless connection has never given me any issues, some may prefer the stability of the wired connection and the lower price.One of the things I love about these is the amount of control the iCue app gives you over them. I need sidetone when I use a mic so I can hear myself, and the app allows me to do that and set the level of sidetone. Also included is a 10-band EQ. This is important to me because with just a little tweaking these are equally adept at music as they are for gaming, making them a goo all-around ... MoreI own and love the wireless version of these gaming cans and wanted to see how the wired version compares on my gaming PC.

This is important to me because with just a little tweaking these are equally adept at music as they are for gaming, making them a goo all-around value. The app also allows for control of the RGB (which, sadly, is just the Corsair logo, don't expect anything too flashy) and to switch from stereo to Dolby Surround.The Dolby surround effect is awesome with games and movies! When gaming the environment becomes more immersive and it's easier to pinpoint where hostile fire is coming from. Overall sound leans toward a warmer, bass heavy sound perfect for gaming and movies. As I mentioned earlier, using the EQ to coax out some of the higher end makes music sound very good too. If you switch them into the Dolby surround mode music takes on a subtle feel of being all around you rather than in front of you.Mic quality is excellent. The iCue app allows you to tweak the mic levels. I've used these for work meetings in a pinch when my "business" headset needed to be recharged and there were no complaints about mic quality.Comfort is very good. Clamping force is comfortable and the headsets have a self-adjusting hammock type of headband that allows the earcups to sit in just the right place. The earcups are large and are the around-ear type and made of a velvet-like material. They do get hot after a while. Also, the earcups on my wireless HS80s fell apart after a few months, so I don't know how long these will hold out. Replacing them is very easy, and there are third-party replacements available in other materials.The cable length is good if you sit near your PC. I'm happy it's not long enough to get tangled up in my gaming chair. The cable is not replaceable but seems to be very sturdy and should last in the long-run if not abused. In fact, the whole headset is very sturdy and should travel well with a gaming laptop in a padded bag without breaking.These are highly recommended for PC gaming and all-around media use, especially if you want something portable to pair with a gaming laptop.

Nice Looks, Mediocre Fit and Audio Quality

I've used a few different gaming headsets from Logitech, Alienware, and Razer, but this is my first experience with a Corsair headset. The HS80 seems like a great value with built-in RGB and a premium build. As nice as the headset looks, it doesn't seem to fit my head very well and has sub-par audio quality.=== PROS ===- The headset feels very premium. The top of the headband is a soft-touch plastic, while the headband that touches your head is a soft, plush leather-like material. The earcups are very well padded and are a nice, soft cloth fabric. There is a nice weight to the headset that makes it feel substantial and not like cheap plastic.- The earcup openings are quite large and should fit most sizes of ears.- The microphone is attached to the left earcup ... MoreI've used a few different gaming headsets from Logitech, Alienware, and Razer, but this is my first experience with a Corsair headset.

There is a nice weight to the headset that makes it feel substantial and not like cheap plastic.- The earcup openings are quite large and should fit most sizes of ears.- The microphone is attached to the left earcup and is very easy to flip up or down as needed. The microphone mutes itself as soon as you flip it up, and a red LED on the tip of the microphone will turn on to let you know that it is muted. Microphone quality is excellent with minimal background noise and crisp vocals. This is probably the best microphone quality I've heard from any gaming headset I've used.- The USB cord is plenty long (roughly 6 feet), though it cannot be detached from the headset (which would make it easier to travel with).- The iCUE software is straightforward and makes it easy to customize the RGB lighting on both earcups. The RGB lighting is subtle and not over-the-top. The Corsair logos and the microphone tip are the only LEDs on the headset.- The headset uses a "floating headband" design which means that it adjusts to your head immediately when you put it on your head. No manual adjustments are required.=== CONS ===- The headset is comfortable, but the earcups do not seem to fit snugly around my ears or fully rest against my head. The bottoms of the earcups protrude out ever so slightly right above my jaw, failing to make a tight seal and letting in ambient noise. Maybe it's just the shape of my head, but I haven't had this problem with any other gaming headsets or headphones. It's not a deal-breaker, but you might want to try this headset on in a store before you purchase.- The microphone is not removable. I sometimes go days without needing to use a microphone, so it would be nice to be able to detach it as needed.- The volume and microphone mute controls are awkwardly placed on the back of the left earcup. I would prefer to have these controls built in to the USB cable, which would be more easily accessible.- To me, the audio quality of this headset is mediocre at best. Everything sounds very distant, muted, and muffled compared to my Alienware AW510H headset. They get plenty loud and have pretty good performance in low frequencies/bass response, but vocals, music, and in-game dialogue just sound very muddy to me. I've tried tinkering with the equalizer in iCUE and noticed some minimal improvements. Turning on "Dolby Atmos for Headphones" in Windows audio settings also seems to help. But as soon as I switch back to my Alienware headset, I can immediately tell how much crisper and clearer they sound.=== OVERALL ===The Corsair HS80 certainly earns the "premium" label in terms of looks and build quality. Its RGB lighting effects are tasteful and easy to customize through Corsair's iCUE software. The microphone is easily the best I've ever used in any gaming headset. I just wish that I could slightly adjust the fit so that the earcups created a full seal around my ears. As it stands, there are no adjustments whatsoever that can be made to the fit of this headset. If you've had issues with other headsets fitting your head, I would advise that you head to your local store to try on the HS80 before purchasing. Audio quality seems just OK to me, though this will come down to personal preference and the amount of time you have to tinker with the equalizer settings.

One of the best headsets I’ve ever bought!

I love it. The sound quality is great, and it’s even better than the wireless one a friend has. When I purchased it, it was 70 dollars due to a sale, but would definitely buy it for 100. When playing beat games you can really tell the difference. Granted the downside is that you have a cord limiting how far you can be from your laptop or computer, but that isn’t an issue for me. It is also very convenient having a mic that can mute just by moving it to the vertical position. If I need to say something to my roommate that I don’t need people in a game to hear, instead of muting myself through the game or on discord, I can just use the built in muting function. The other plus for me, is that it uses a usb port which is more study and secure than a headphone jack ... MoreI love it.

Overall, once more I love it, it’s comfortable, has good sound, and makes gaming or binging easy and enjoyable.

Outstanding Sound Quality and Comfort

These head phones provided the best audio I have ever heard on a headset. They do have Dolby 7.1 so that was no doubt part of the great sound quality. Microphone worked great. I liked the option to flip the mic up to mute or you could simply press a mute button on the headset. One feature I don't often see, but was much appreciated is that when muted, a red band appears on the mic boom so you know for sure it is really muted.This headset is wired so there is no delay which I prefer some times with super-fast-paced games. The ear cups were soft enough and do handle a little sweat easily. I did not feel a pinch when wearing my glasses. The floating headband design was comfortable but I did feel some pressure, so I used the feature where you can adjust the headband ... MoreThese head phones provided the best audio I have ever heard on a headset.

The floating headband design was comfortable but I did feel some pressure, so I used the feature where you can adjust the headband by giving out more slack on both sides. It is important to note that I almost missed this adjustable option. Since the design is so clean, one may not notice the strap can be adjusted. This ‘flex-band’ design is so much simpler than moving the ear pads via the old sliding systems. Plus you don’t risk breaking a wire that might not slide along – no chance with this nice design – tip of the cap to the engineers at Corsair.If you’d like a real audio treat. Set up your computer with an installation of the iCue software and add these headphones to the dashboard. Play someone like Andrea Bocelli. You can adjust equalization using the iCue software if you want Pure, Movie, Competition, Chat or Bass Boost. Make sure you have surround sound on. Wow, the experience is astounding. Try Piano or Violin or whatever you like, very nice sound reproduction. A tip of the cap to the software developers at Corsair as well.I would highly recommend these headphones for the great sound and superior comfort using the 'flex band' system, and the integration with the iCue software.

Very Good Sound But Not the Most Comfortable

The HS80 headset has a lot of positive traits. The sound quality, mic quality, and software tweakability are all quite good. However, I found that over a couple hours of game play, my head was sore. Unfortunately, the design leaves a bit to be desired in the adjustment category.Setup was a breeze. On my gaming PC, which already had iCue installed, the headset was instantly recognized and ready to use. The software gives you a pretty solid amount of options to tweak to your tastes, including surround simulation settings and RGB. This aspect of the headset is exactly what you'd expect from a Corsair product.Unfortunately for me, the headset was let down by a lack of adjustability. It has a tensioned headband, which is ok, but no length adjustment for the ear cups. ... MoreThe HS80 headset has a lot of positive traits.

It has a tensioned headband, which is ok, but no length adjustment for the ear cups. At first, this seemed ok. The net result of this, however, was a sore head and ears for me. Comfort wise, this is worse in comparison to my Arctis 7 (which is sightly expensive) and downright pails in comparison to my main gaming headset, the Bose Gaming Headset (which is significantly more expensive).It's a shame it's not more comfortable to be, because I enjoyed the sound profile of this headset. Music reproduction is adequate, but it predictably shines in gaming scenarios. The headset is well tuned for gaming, which was especially noticable in Call of Duty. This game has notoriously bad sound; in particular, footsteps noises are very poorly implemented. However, in a surprise, I was seemingly able to better hear them compared to my other headsets, showing just how good these are for gaming.Unfortunately these likely won't be my go to cans for gaming. They've got the software features and sound quality, but the surprising lack of comfortability means I can wear these for extended periods of time.
