Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had a good overall experience with this headset, it has everything you need and want. My only complaint was that I wish it was a one size fits all, I wouldn’t really recommend it if you have a big head. Sound quality is good, and the mic is the same as the original HS 80.

My son loves them. They fit his head just fine and also allow the connection of his XBOX via wireless and his iPhone via bluetooth for music. Much sturdier than the XBOX branded set.

Very comfortable headset with Dolby Atmos! I can wear it for long periods of time and it wont hurt my ears! Highly recommend it!

The head band for size adjustment might take some getting used to, the sound quality of these headsets is beast!!!! The price point is out of this world.

I got this headset to use on both my PC & Xbox, both work great! To those purchasing this headset specifically for Xbox, Mic monitoring is disabled by default and will require the PC app to enable.

The quality and comfort is amazing. The battery life goes on forever. But the best part is the sounds, it definitely added to my gaming experience

Great sound an quality. Really good for gaming with a long battery life and can actually hear the direction sounds are coming from

They work perfectly and are able to switch seamlessly between devices.

The sound is great, good comfort, and is easily used with my PC.

Excellent headphones. The quality of the sound is fantastic! I can hear the footsteps very clearly in Call of Duty. I'm able to hear sounds other players on my team can't hear. Definitely recommend these for all gamers.

Easy to use and comfortable the sound quality is actually really good and my friends actually can hear me verry well and crisp.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about these headphones after using them for a few weeks now. If these ever go on sale, grab them! One other caveat though is when you’re updating these headphones, USE THE PROVIDED USB-C CABLE and it’ll work properly on the ICue software.

My son loves these. They are comfy and the mic is great! They connect easily and fast for seamless performance!

These say they work for PS5 but what a hassle. We had to download iCUE sotware to a PC and then change it from software version 5.0 (current) back to 4.0 to take these headphones out of “Xbox” mode. It was a few hours of fighting to get something that should have been an easy plug and play to work. Reddit thankfully had a lot of articles explaining how people got them to work. People that we game with stated it sounded like a better quality of voice clarity compared to old logitech wireless headsets we had previous but with an added echo, which we have yet to resolve even with changing the microphone settings.

The best headphones that I used good price and quality

Nice headphones. Light and sound great! They are comfortable to wear and easy to set up.

I’m a little confused on why the mic sounds like I am in a box.. not muffled. It really disappointed me because the reviews I read all said the “mic was amazing.” The sound is decent.

Corsair has another headset to add to their line with the HS80 MAX headset. It’s designed for Xbox, but can also work with other systems/devices. The HS80 has a standard headband with the two ear pieces connected to it, however it also has a headband strap that is between both sides of the primary headband. It has a little padding on it and it will stretch to accommodate most people. The strap, even though it may look unconventional, helps to make wearing the headset for long periods of time comfortable. They are lightweight so it didn’t cause any problems with the long gaming sessions I had. When I was done playing after about 6 hours one session and 5 another, I didn’t feel like the headset was uncomfortable. Battery The battery life is really good. I charged them when I received them and haven’t had to charge them again. I have many hours of gameplay with them and a few hours of listening to music with them connected to my iPad. Battery life has been good so far. Features The HS80 MAX will auto shutoff if they aren’t being used for a period of time. This helps me as sometimes I forget to turn off headsets. The headband/strap design, as mentioned above, does make the headset comfortable to wear. The headset also support Dolby Atmos. The audio sounds great when I was playing Diablo IV. It makes the gameplay more immersive which, for RPG games, makes them much more enjoyable to play. Game developers put a lot of money and time into the audio for them with ambient sounds and music. The HS80 Max allows me to fully experience that. There is lighting to indicate various things with the headset. For instance, there is a light ring around the mic which can indicate unmuted vs muted. White light for unmuted and red for muted. The boom arm is made so that I can customize it’s position for optimal placement of the mic. It’s not just up/down adjustment. I can adjusted it outward or inward to suit my needs and that inward/outward adjustment will hold even when moving the boom up to mute the mic and when moving it downward to unmute and continue using the mic. On each earpiece, there is an led light that lights up the Corsair logo. There is also a power indicator light near the volume up/down dial. The volume up/down is changed by way of a dial on the back of the left earpiece. It was easy for me to find it while wearing the headset. There is also the power button on the back of the left earpiece just above the volume dial. Both are easy to find by feel without have to fumble around to try and find them. On the back of the right earpiece is the Bluetooth button. Bluetooth/Wireless Module Corsair designed the HS80 MAX to work with the XBox, but they have also added Bluetooth to them. I’m able to use the wireless USB module that comes with them to plug into the USB port on the back of my XBox. That worked well and I didn’t have any connectivity issues throughout hours of gameplay. Since it also has Bluetooth, I was able to connect the headset to my iPad to listen to music. I can also connect the headset to my PC and Switch. I’m happy to see that Corsair added Bluetooth capability to the HS80 Max. They are much more versatile because of it. Final Thoughts I really like what Corsair has decided to do with connectivity with the HS80 Max. Since they can be connected to more than just the XBox, I get more use out of them. That coupled with the long battery life (up to 65hrs according to Corsair), I can listen to music and can game for a long time before having to recharge them with the provided USB-C to USB-C cable. The support for Dolby Atomos Spatial audio is also a good feature. Overall, I’m happy with the HS80 Max headset and I’m looking forward to see what Corsair does in this line in the future.

The first thing you notice when you put this headset on is how hard it clamps to your head. I am using a Corsair Void V2 Max and it is incredibly comfortable. Compared to the HS80s it's night and day. The HS80s weren't even comfortable for my gf who has a much smaller head than me.

From the moment I unboxed the Corsair HS80 MAX, the premium quality stood out immediately. The packaging is clean and practical, including a USB dongle for Xbox connection and a USB-C to USB-A cable for both connectivity and charging. It feels like Corsair thought ahead for gamers who want straightforward setup without having to dig for extra accessories. After first connection and updating the dongle and headset for Xbox, connection was flawless. Using the headset with PC via Bluetooth was a very quick and easy connection with no issues. The headset itself carries a little more weight than most gaming headsets, but in this case, it feels intentional in a way that reassures you of the build quality and depth of the frequency response. The headband is built sturdy and reinforced with a comfort support band to most likely prevent “head dent,” something any hardcore gamer knows all too well and yes it is a real thing. It sits snug without clamping too hard, making it easy to settle in for long sessions. The ear cups are another highlight. They’re very comfortable and, surprisingly, don’t trap much heat even after extended use, something many gaming headsets struggle with. The drop down mic is responsive, capturing voice clearly with little need for adjustment. It sits at a perfect at an angle that doesn’t cut into your peripheral vision and functionally it performs great. Corsair also added some subtle RGB branding on the ear cups. While you won’t see the logo lighting when wearing the headset, it adds a sleek look if you’re streaming or keeping your setup visually sharp. Audio performance is where the HS80 MAX really flexes. The sound range covers the full spectrum of human hearing from 20Hz to 20,000Hz, and it does so with clarity. Low end bass hits with depth without overwhelming mids or highs, and I found myself picking up the smallest details in game like footsteps or environmental cues which gave me a real advantage in stealth heavy gameplay. Despite the extra weight, comfort surprised me the most. I expected fatigue after long sessions, but I was able to game for hours without any discomfort. The battery life is equally impressive. Corsair rates it at up to 65 hours, and after several days of long play sessions, I still had around 30% left before needing a charge. That’s a huge win compared to most wireless headsets I’ve used. At this point, the HS80 MAX has quickly made its way into my top picks for gaming headsets. Between the premium feel, excellent audio, and long-lasting comfort, it’s a headset that feels just as at home on Xbox as it does on PC. Pros Premium build quality with sturdy headband and comfort support band Comfortable ear cups with minimal heat buildup Crisp, clear mic performance Strong audio clarity across full frequency range (20Hz–20kHz) Subtle, stylish RGB accents Long-lasting battery life (up to 65 hours, real-world tested close to spec) Great for both Xbox and PC gaming Cons Slightly heavier than average headset (though adds to premium feel) RGB lighting can’t be appreciated while wearing
