Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

10/10 this is a great product to run gaming on all platforms

there decent if your just playing casually the mic would not pick up anything Im saying but i later realized that you needed the pc app to configure certain things associated with the headset i would'nt recommend for xbox users

I really like this headset. Currently, I think it's my favorite headset, in fact. It's very comfortable, and I can wear it for a really long time. The sound quality is pretty good - the actual speakers themselves are pretty great and have a nice range, and I do appreciate that the headset works with Dolby Atmos. The battery life is enough to get me through a few days of gaming without taking any particular care to conserve charge, and I am very glad that I can wear them while charging without them trying to shut down on me. They do charge fairly quickly - they can be at full before I'm done with a gaming session. They look really pretty. The gunmetal grey looks almost classy. They also feel solid to the touch. They're super versatile, as well. They're made for Xbox, but they also work just fine if you plug them into a computer (the dongle even has a visual indicator on it to show you if you're in Xbox mode or not) and they work with Bluetooth as well. They do do simultaneous audio - I've always found this super niche and not something I tend to use on a regular basis, but it is *definitely* a nice to have, especially when I actually want to use it. The only thing they're missing is an AUX jack. Across all of the existing connection methods, I currently have yet to have any real issues. The range is actually really decent - I can head to another floor in my house without the quality degrading. My one issue with this headset is the microphone. Funnily enough, the microphone itself is fantastic - after numerous voice calls and testing with other headsets I own, I have discovered that this onboard microphone is consistently rated by people I call as the clearest microphone. This is nice, because having to stop and make constant adjustments to the microphone really takes me out of the game. I also like the fact that rather than pressing a button, you can just flip the microphone up to mute it and bring it back down to unmute. The problem is, sometimes it gets stuck - I've had an issue that seems to be independent of any platform I'm using this headset with in which the headset doesn't properly register that I've moved the microphone down to unmute it. I then end up having to flip it back and forth several times to get it to register. This only happens when moving the microphone down, however - it's never failed to register a "mute" by flipping it up. This is kind of annoying to deal with, to be honest, and is hands down the biggest stain on what's otherwise been the perfect headset for me. Overall, I would recommend this headset. However, I would advise keeping that possible issue with the microphone arm in mind.

Excellent gaming headset!! Definitely worth the price!

I have a lot of Corsair stuff... keyboards, mice, headsets and a slew of PC components from memory to AIO to cases. Out of the box these are really easy to setup and you will be up and running in minutes. Powered by Dolby ATMOS the HS80 gives you an amazing 3D experience, especially if you use the Dolby Access app where you can set your listening settings from preloaded game, movie, music, voice or the ability to set up to 3 personal custom settings via a slide equalizer. Connectivity is simple enough with either Bluetooth or with the provided low latency 2.4GHz dongle. I tested these on both a PC and Xbox Series S with absolutely no issues. I play most of my AAA games on a PC platform but I love Forza and Madden on the Xbox, among other titles. Sorry... I'm an old keyboard and mouse gamer but I love controllers for sports games and driving sims, plus I have a racing wheel and pedals setup, sorry Corsair, not the Fanatec, but still a respectable brand with a folding mounting sled with seat. Having a wireless headset if great, especially with the surround sound effects you get with the HS80. On headset controls are simple. You have only a power button and volume dial on the left and Bluetooth button on the right. I appreciate the flip up mic boom rather than static booms. Static booms typically will have a mute button on the headset or inline on the cord, with cordless it's a bit cumbersome to have to tap a button on the headset, or maybe you have a dedicated key on your keyboard to mute. With the HS80 a simple flip up on the boom gets you muted, my preferred method. The earcup padding is soft fabric and the supple padding is very comfortable, even for extended playing. The adjustable band is different than most with the floating pad affixed by two strips of Velcro on either side. Honestly better padding attached to the bridge with sliding earcups would be much more preferable for me. I find the top padding isn't enough since my head is a bit larger than most. There is some subtle RGB lighting that works with Corsair's ICUE software so if you are invested in the Corsair ecosystem then these will fit right in. A few things I haven't been able to test out is the advertised 60ft wireless range or 20 hour battery life since I don't have the room for a 60ft test and I don't time my gaming sessions so the 20 hour battery life is great but I typically just charge it once a week on the weekend. Besides the padding falling short for me these are truly wireless only. The included USB cable is for charging only. I would have loved to see this as dual purpose charging and audio if nothing else if I do let the battery run out I would be able to play with them plugged in but that's not the case.

These headphones sound amazing. You do need to follow the correct pairing procedure to ensure the Corsair HS80 Max v2 for Xbox is in Xbox mode. It is simple: put the included dongle in an Xbox USB port and press the sync button on the Xbox. The dongle will be white if not in Xbox mode, just double tap the power button on the headphones and the dongle will turn green and you’ll be connected (you’ll also see a ‘Headphone Assigned’ message on your display). I did notice that once it is all sync’d up, for the next time you power up, the Xbox dongle will be green already; so it does stay sync’d through a power off – great.  I also paired these headphones with my Windows laptop. I tried the dongle and also Bluetooth. Everything paired in a split second. The sound was also amazing using various music videos on my computer. On the Xbox (mine is a Series X), I watched movies and played games; the sound was vibrant with super strong bass and crisp highs. In motorsports games the sound was incredible and did add a lot of fun to playing the games with such crisp, crunchy and snappy sound characteristics. I ended up watching a couple movies plus about 2 hours of gaming in one sitting. I noticed the ear cups were very comfortable over this timeframe. I do wear glasses, and the shape and softness of the ear cups ensured I didn’t get a headache – tip of the cap to the Corsair engineers for designing a headset with a very high comfort level to go with the wonderful sound. You can install the iCue software on your computer to update the headset firmware and also you can re-pair the headset with the dongle if needed (however, the dongle does come already paired with the headset). The dongle firmware can also be updated by the iCue software. I noticed that the software found the headset and the dongle immediately –nice.  I did interact with Corsair support and it turned out that their support was exceptional both via phone and email. I was very pleased with their customer support and appreciated the advice I got.  I installed Dolby Atmos on my Xbox and the sound through these headphones was booming like 3D spatial sound – just wonderful. You do need to ensure your Xbox audio settings are set to ‘Headphone with Dolby Atmos’. I am very pleased with these headphones and would highly recommend them for the Xbox.

I was super excited to be able to get my hands on the Corsair HS80 Max v2 XBOX gaming headset. I have the Corsair HS80 in white, which I can only use on my PC, which is fine, but it makes switching back to Xbox a struggle since the headset I am using there is nowhere near the quality and comfort of the HS80 series. But now, I do not even have to swap slider options since I can experience the perfect balance of performance, comfort, and versatility on either side. Out of the box, the unit should now be plug and play ready, but if you need a firmware update, it should be a seamless adventure. The device comes with Dolby Atmos, that allows you to have a spatial immersive experience. On Xbox, it brings an incredible sense of depth to games and makes the environmental game queues feel realer than life. Whether on PC or Xbox, the unit allows for customization for different gaming categories. This is exceptionally nice when switching from an RPG to sports titles. It is noted that the Max v2 really shines by offering a simultaneous low-latency 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as quick charging, and it boasts a long lasting battery life. First, the battery will last for days. I was trying to drain it, and my wife put it back charging for about two hours, and the unit was at full capacity. So, despite my best efforts, I still have not killed the headset altogether. Then I must admit that the simultaneous low latency wireless connectivity is extremely effective. It provides quick connections and protects against ambient interferences. The headset is designed well and offers a very snug fit for most heads. That said, the comfort is bar none and easily allows the user hours of wear since it is comprised of breathable fabrics and lightweight plastics & aluminum. Last thoughts are that the Corsair HS80 for Xbox hit the mark and should be your first choice. It brings Dolby Atmos immersion and intuitive controls, without jeopardizing quality or comfort.

It's no lie, I'm a fan of Corsair gear, I have a lot of it and having the chance to get this headset with compatibility across my XBox and PC was great. Packaging: To start, it's packaged well, nestled in the box with limited documentation and a USB dongle, although you can connect it via bluetooth as well. Nothing surprising here, the box is the usual black and yellow corsair livery that we're all accustomed to. Use: Initial setup was a bit interesting. While it was "plug and play" it definitely needed the firmware update that was presented which dramatically improved the wireless performance, so I strongly recommend anyone update these. I imagine later versions will ship with newer firmware already installed, but this initial batch definitely needs the update. The software is reasonably straightforward although at this point Corsair is getting a little overzealous with it's software. It seems like every time I turn around the software has a new name, a completely new look and feel, and is just getting a bit cumbersome. I still love Corsair, but change for the sake of change is never good. As for the audio quality, it's excellent, these support Dolby Atmos and the drivers in them deliver great sound (once you get that firmware update in there to stabilize the wireless signal). Charging is quick and the settings in the app are easy to use. Overall: While these are a little more on the pricey side, they really are very good, just be sure to get that firmware update

Having had a previous Corsair headset for the XBOX that I was disappointed in, I was excited to try these out. I look for plug and play where I do not have to reset the USB adapter every time I turn on the XBOX series X. Out of the box, you can tell these are premium, even though the head band is a stretchy cloth and the ear pads are also cloth. They are super comfortable and do not stress out your ears/head. I have a S/M size head so these work great for me. Upon initial set up, the unit was recognized immediately and the Dolby Atmos automatically fired up (which it does every time but I switch it back to Windows Sonic). Sound is crystal clear but I did have issues using the chat functions. The sound for the mic is greyed out so you cant adjust that setting through the XBOX. Even after the update, this is an issue. However, I found that, through trial and error, that the dials on the headset control this feature. So now I am able to be in Chat or Discord and talk to the team. Feedback is my voice comes across clear and loud. I do not and have not used these via Bluetooth to my phone or a music device. I have run into a time or two where they will not connect to XBOX chat without a reset or XBOX restart. But, no big deal, I am super pleased with the quality, the RGB lighting, the sound options and the feel of these headphones. Definitely my go to pair now for gaming. Well done, Corsair!

The Corsair HS80 Max V2 headset for the XBOX is a banger of a headset! Set up is as simple as plugging in the transmitter to the XBOX and you’re basically done. My headset came almost fully charged so there was no reason for me to charge it up. You get a nice, long USB C cable with the headset which is nice. The sound is really good and one of my favorite features is being able to connect my phone via Bluetooth while still maintaining the game audio from the Xbox! The build quality is definitely higher end with a mixture of metal and plastic materials. The ear cups are a fabric material that is very comfortable. After a few longer gaming sessions I didn’t experience any pressure points with this headset. The overall weight of the headset is good and doesn’t affect comfort level. The RGB will be stuck on the default setting initially. You have to use the iCue software and a PC to customize the lighting. You won’t be able to do that from the Xbox. Overall, I recommend this headset 100%.

My headphones get a LOT of use - between PC gaming, listening to music, even listening to the TV after my wife has gone to bed, so I tend to replace them annually. Each of them has had their quirks and their highlights. Lets see what this one has! The audio quality is top notch - great frequency range, deep basses, crisp highs, and just an overall fantastic clean sound. The earphones are comfortable on the ears without the ach-inducing weight that a lot of headphones have. The microphone is always a concern with these headsets. The weakness after several months of use tends to be the boom mic. From the motion up/down that is used to mute the mic, they tend to start to get a little scratchy or audio goes in/out. I admit though the sound coming from this mic is probably the best I have heard. Now the big question - how will it hold up in the long run? Only time will tell. I can say though, Corsair's headsets have long been a favorite of mine, and thus far they are keeping their pole-position at the #1 spot - they simply make good stuff, not haphazardly slapping items together, but through thorough R&D and testing.

The Corsair HS80 MAX v2 XBOX Headset has been a wonderful headset to be able to utilize while playing Xbox. Overall, the headset itself is very comfortable, and the charging time is very minimal while the game time is maximal. The clarity of the game volume and the chat is far better than many of the other headphones that are out on the market today. There are a few things that I truly like about these headphones. The first one is comfort. They don't feel like they are squeezing my ears, and during the summer months, my ears don't get too hot with them covering them, which, when you live in the southwestern part of the country, is a pretty big deal. Another great thing about these headphones is the ability to turn up and down the volume so easily by just using the volume control on the earpiece itself. It's not trying to figure out which volume control to use. There is only one volume control, and it works perfectly. Last and certainly not least, the microphone, while it does feel very flimsy, the best part of all is flipping up the mic, and you are muted. This feature is great, especially when you're trying to talk to someone else in the middle of the game, and you don't have to press a button; just flip up the microphone, and you're ready to have that conversation.

Corsair does a great job with the materials mixing sturdy construction with comfort and the HS80 Max continue this craftsmanship. The headphones are solid without being bulky and fit comfortably over my large head. The only thing missing from these headphones is a simple instruction book that clues one in to the fact that they default to PC pairing mode, not X-box pairing mode. The fix for this is simple - double-press the power button to change the pairing mode; paying attention to the color of the LED on the logo which will change from white (PC mode) to green (Xbox mode). Once the proper pairing mode is set simply connect the included usb dongle to a free slot on the Xbox and you are on your way to immersive gaming. The Spatial Audio works well and in games that support the effects it’s kinda creepy to hear someone sneaking up from behind you in the game or to hear helicopters fly overhead. We’ve come a long way for simple stereo. Overall I think these make a great pair of headphones with excellent battery life.

If you’re looking for a headset that works for a bunch of different devices, I think this headset might be a good option. While I did a lot of testing with an XBOX (which worked great without any real problems at all) The headset also works with other devices as well, I also tried it with not just my normal computer but also a switch 2 and had no problems with it at all. Sound wise I think Corsair has had great sound out of most of their products recently and this headset is no different. I don’t think I have any complaints about the quality of the sound and overall, they are a great option for a great gaming session headset. Comfort wise the only complaint I may have is because they are cloth/foam ear cups longer sessions may get warm if you’re in a warmer environment but they are comfortable otherwise, not squeezing my head too much and the top strap is adjustable for height position so that is comfortable as well. Overall, the headset is a great addition to a gaming setup where you may want to use a headset and still be comfortable and have good sound.
