Corsair HS80 RGB WIRELESS

The Corsair HS80 are decent for wireless gaming. They have a comfortable fit, with well-padded ear cups and an adjustable ski-band headband. Their wireless USB dongle provides a fairly low latency wireless connection with PCs and PlayStation consoles. The boom mic does a great job of making your voice sound clear and full, even in moderately noisy settings. It's not detachable, but it's easy to mute and unmute by flipping up or down. They have a warm default sound profile, and if you prefer a different sound, you can customize it with a graphic EQ and presets in the app. The app also has settings for mic volume and side tone.

The HS80 RGB Wireless is still a good headset for PC (especially if you make a lot of Zoom calls), but it may not be as good as other wireless console gaming headsets in this price range.

The Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless is a quality headset that feels comfortable and makes you sound crisp over the mic. The surround sound is also impressive, but the headset has minimal size adjustments and requires more software than we'd like.

The Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless is arguably the best gaming headset Corsair has ever made, and considering just how good its previous headsets are, that’s high praise indeed. It offers excellent build quality and a comfortable design, and sound quality is fantastic as well. Dolby Atmos support isn’t just a gimmick either – it can really make a difference.

The Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless provides rich, nuanced gaming sound, but its design seems better-suited to a cheaper gaming headset.

The Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless is an understated, premium gaming headset that offers features like Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res audio, but the lack of these features on PS4 and PS5 means it’s a more tempting buy for PC gamers.
