   I won’t ever use any other headset.
   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.

   Excellent Sound, Durable Feel, and iCUE Integration
   This Corsair headset is amazing for the price point. I was genuinely surprised by how solid the build quality is, especially since my last Corsair headset was also high-quality and lasted me all the way from my first PC build in 2017. I’m hoping these hold up just as well.It definitely helps that I’m a loyal Corsair fan, since all my other peripherals are Corsair too. I really enjoy using the iCUE software to dial everything in and keep all my gear synced properly. The audio is clear, the mic sounds great, and having both wired and wireless options makes the headset extremely versatile. Overall, very happy with this purchase.

   Great sound and fit, but has questionable battery life.
   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!

   I like it a lot though it feels slightly short in the sense that people with long heads may have their ears slightly sticking out even with the head strap adjusted fully slack.

   ACTUALIZADO FEBRERO 2025Debes 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 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. 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.

   Som esplendido, microfone supera alguns de mesa de certeza, a bateria se desligar o RGB, aguenta mais, leve e confortável, troquei o Virtuoso também da CORSAIR, por ser muito pesado e as almofadas serem de courino, mas este superou tudo que vi e li sobre ele na internet

   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)
