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.
