I got this for Christmas, and I wanted to give it time to use it and see what my thoughts were. So after almost 2 months of use, I can confidently say this is a great headset. There are a few things that drive me batty, which is why I'm only giving it 4 stars out of 5.
Pros:
Great sound. Not the best in the business, but for gaming and casual music/movie consumption, it's pretty good. The audio is significantly better if you set up the SoundID in the iCUE software ecosystem that all Corsair products sync with (please do that before you complain about the sound quality). The addition of Dolby Atmos is a nice feature too
Battery life. I've charged these once since I got them. I don't game all the time, and spend maybe 10~12 hours a week on my computer.
Comfort. I like that they're a full over-ear, so nothing rests on my actual ear. The pads are well cushioned, and have a cloth wrap (I don't like vinyl wrapped pads) the band that supports them over the top of your head was surprisingly comfortable, and does a great job at distribution of weight.
Cons:
They have some weight to them, which some people could find heavy or uncomfortable after a period of wearing them.
Sometimes the wireless connection can be finicky, and they have to be paired with the receiver dongle again
They're not the most comfortable to use while charging, as the provided USB-C charging cable has a fairly large connector at the end where it plugs into the headset.
While gaming, if the sound in-game gets below a certain threshold, the headphones go into an almost "standby" mode, and they entirely cut out audio. I have not found a way to avoid that happening. It's not a deal breaker for me, but it's why I didn't give these 5 or 5 stars.
Overall, this is a great headset, but grab it when it's on sale.

I've been using the CORSAIR HS80 MAX Wireless Gaming Headset for a few weeks now, and overall, I’m impressed. The audio quality is clear and immersive, especially for gaming on PC and PS5. The wireless connection is stable, and the headset is comfortable even during long sessions.
The build feels solid, and the Steel Gray color gives it a premium look. The mic picks up voice clearly, which is great for team chats. Battery life has been reliable so far, and setup was quick and easy.
My only minor gripe is that the ear cups could be slightly more breathable, but it’s not a dealbreaker. I’d recommend this headset to anyone looking for a high-quality, wireless gaming audio experience.

Best headset I've ever had. Dolby ready and amazing battery life. Most comfortable padding as well. The interface and buttons quick button features make it super simple to switch between sound modes and even pair to multiple devices at once.

These headphones are amazing and I would give them five stars, but if you are on PS5, it is a little of a hassle to get them connected. You are gonna need to download the software for PC to get them situated before you plug in the dongle into your PS5. After that you are good to go. Other thing is that these do have RGB that look great, just doesn’t really transfer over to PlayStation. It stays white. Mic sounds great and has great audio with the Dolby Atmos (which is compatible with PS5). Great choice whether you are or aren’t on PlayStation.

I love the design and the connectivity, and sound features this comes with, sometimes I keep hearing it beep while on full battery and I’m not sure why, cant tell if it’s faulty or misreading the battery

Works great. It was the last thing I needed to finish a set of Corsair headphones, keyboard, and mouse. Mic works wonderful. Comfortable with or without my glasses.

This headset has great audio quality and a very clear pristine microphone capable of clearly communicating with people through your cell phone and PC. Whether you game or use it as a fancy substitution for a blue tooth, this device gives you all you need.
The only downside to this headset is the headset isn't very adjustable. Meaning, it isn't meant for someone with such a big head as I have which was the only problem with it for myself personally. It tends to favor people with average to smaller sized heads. If it had the ability to extend even further it would be perfect!

Rather expensive from Best Buy but needed a headset last minute and used to Corsair software already. Some issues with the microphone (fixable with software) and audio sounding robotic from time to time

Great headset. This was an upgrade from my HS80 RGB and these by far exceed those in all areas except maybe audio level. They don't seem to be as loud, however the much-improved battery life maxes these 100 times better.

An excellent product that I would recommend 100% for its outstanding features, I have had the opportunity to test them thoroughly and they fulfill what they promise, good noise cancellation, extremely comfortable spatial sound and high microphone fidelity, all this accompanied by a solid 60 hours of wireless use, its software is very configurable allowing you to adapt your headphones to your needs

I really like the headphones. I get sweaty and the earcups are actually perfect in that they don’t get crusty like most headphones when they absorb sweat. The audio quality is really good as well.

I had the HS80 wired before, I though the wired version was the same minus wireless functionality. I Was wrong. The perks you get with the MAX version are by far the best among all the versions. The best one is SoundID, which creates a profile based on your own hearing (See that everyone has a diferent interpretation of what we hear). You just follow the instructions on the ICUE software and your listening experience will be enhacnced
