Corsair HS80 RGB USB Wired PC Gaming Headset – Black

I bought these to replace my Corsair Void Pro headset that have had the 'quiet mic' issue for a while now. I was hesitant to get another Corsair headset due to the mic issues, but it seems like it's 50/50 on that no matter which brand you go with, so I pulled the trigger. First off, the whole reason I caved and got a new headset in the first place, is because my work headset completely died. I switched to the Voids as a backup, and realised that people were barely able to hear me (I work as an IT support specialst... so...that's not great). After I received these I immediately swapped them out and was very pleasantly surprised. The mic actually works the way it's supposed to. Initially testing with voice recorder played back nice, clean sound. After taking a few calls, I've noticed that I can speak casually again (no more borderline yelling at customers). One thing I will note about the mic, is that it does not have any sort of noise dampening. Not a problem for me, but if you have a slightly noisier home office, these might not work for you. Speaking of WFH, we use Cisco Jabber with Finesse to route calls. I was able to plug-and-play with no issues and no need to install I-Cue. Comfort-wise, these are actually more comfortable than the old pair. The band kind of threw me off, but after adjusting it, it fit perfectly (I have a big head AND wear glasses). Can barely tell I'm wearing them after about 5 minutes. The only gripes I have - I wish they had an in-line controller for the volume and mute (on ear is fine, and mic flip works well enough). I also noticed that the sound is not as punchy as the Voids, but then again, I haven't tested with ICue yet, so the custom EQs may change that. Overall, very happy with the headset, and even more excited that they worked out of the box with my work software.

FOR THOSE WHO ARENT AUDIOPHILES OR EXPERTS -- READ THIS This headset is one of the best entry level gaming headsets i've purchased. They are made sturdy, adjustable, and without error. For those who are deciding between this headset and other prevalent devices, choose this one. Don't pay mind to nitpicky reviews unless you are sure you understand the humongous words and technical terms they use. Pros: - Made with metal, memory foam, and high quality materials - Bass drivers are at the perfect level of medium - Very loud, you won't need to max your volume manager out in order to hear - The microphone is the best headset microphone in my opinion, no pop filter necessary, clear and non-suppressed, as well as compatible with voice mod or third party software - The mute functions are spectacular, the software it comes with allows you to chose a mute key as well as the push up mic and mute button - Mic is perfect for mumblers, whisperers, and anyone who is shy Cons: - The highs are sharp, which causes audio to peak high - The mic is very firm and almost unable to be posed - The mic is surround based, meaning it tends to pick up outside noise—however you can use noise cancelling features from third party software and built in functions like Discord has - The headset is tight but has adjustable features like the headband - The earmuffs do not extend downwards or upwards but you can adjust the headband to elude to the same feature Happy purchasing!

Best headset I’ve used in my life

I needed a gaming headset in a hurry. The H65 was recommended to me, but appeared discontinued, so I ordered this. the iCUE software froze up a couple times while installing (I didn't have everything else closed first, lesson learned). I re-ran the install and did a Repair, which seemed to set everything up finally. The default EQ options are kind of awful. So I fiddled with the EQ settings during gameplay (had to find a game that would still play sound when it wasn't the active app) and found at least what I think is a compromise. But it still isn't as good as I was hoping. The microphone works well enough, but the SideTone volume control in the iCUE interface doesn't seem to do anything. I turn it off and I still hear myself (VERY QUIETLY even with Sidetone turned all the way up) through the headphones with a slight delay, which I guess is standard for USB but still annoying. I'd rather hear myself immediately without the delay. It is disorienting. Recording in OBS uses the processed sound of the Equalizer in iCUE, so playing a video back in the headphones after recording is double Equalized, which also sounds awful. I need to set up a pure audio source for OBS recording so that users can depend on their own EQ settings to listen. Anyway, these are all things that I discovered while tinkering with this headset. I'll use it, but I was hoping for something a bit more adept and intuitive for the price.

These are great. I have a difficult time getting a headset that is comfy as I wear glasses. This is the only one I have found that does not press the glasses to my head. Very comfy, does go around the ears nicely. The strap on top keeps the headset from dropping down on my head. The lift up "mic off" is wonderful and easy to use instead of having to find a button to shut off the mic.

I give these headphones a 6/10. For the value, simplicity in design. They are ok "only". Mass Drops PC38X has been my gold standard for a few years but I like to experiment as I see reviews. I really wanted an excellent mic, but this only gets around 40% volume in windows using the "test" feature. Where as the PC38x scores 100%. Its night and day, I was hoping the wired, USB-C would bridge that gap. But nope. For folks who arent used to high end gear, dedicated mics, etc you might get away with this just fine. As for audio quality, PC38x again, superior fidelity, its cleaner, better bass (without the EQ). Bass is incredibly muddy. The Sub $100 price range is really rough.

10/10 headsets, probably the best one in this category

bought these november 2022, required third party software to sound decent, about 6 months in the earmuffs were torn and falling off and needed to be replaced, 8 months in the cord started falling apart and getting frayed despite taking care of them, and now 11 months in, being less than a year old, they have stopped functioning completely besides going on and off every few seconds and making buzzing noises while plugged in. complete and utter waste of a hundred bucks, either dont bother with these completely or possibly get the wireless version instead.... update: do NOT get the wireless version instead, was stupid enough to get them as a replacement february 2024 and there is a light on the microphone that is a blinding level of bright that cannot be turned off, and the microphone is so absurdly quiet that it might as well not function, i had to use a program to increase the volume by 400% before my voice was reasonable audible at all. the speaker and microphone quality are good with the aforementioned third party software (steelseries gg), but yeah these just require way too much extra nonsense to be worth it. as a side note, the wireless ones are WAY tighter than the wired ones and it is probably going to be a while before they stop hurting my head, and also do NOT download the icue software and do the firmware update, it will just break your headphones completely and i had to spend a bunch of extra time figuring out how to reinstall the older firmware the headphones came with, and the rgb settings dont save to the headset anyways so just do not put yourself through that if you get these. as much as i want to give this a one star review for how terrible these are out of box and with how my first wired pair practically destroyed itself on its own, ill be generous and give them a two for the level of quality you can technically achieve with the wireless ones using a bunch of third party fixes and such, despite how uncomfortable they are to wear with the clamping down on my ears and bright white led shining directly into my left eye, as well as how mind numbingly aggravating it is to get them to a decent quality after undoing all the damage the software you are meant to use with them will cause. EDIT: yeah im knocking this down to a one star review, had them for a week now and as some of the other reviews mention, the audio with the wireless ones will cut out frequently enough for it to be a major annoyance. really should have read the reviews first before getting these...

Increíble producto Muy buena calidad de audio, el micrófono funciona excelente Llevo un año usándolos y siguen increíblemente bien Su cancelación de ruido es increíble Sin dudas, súper recomendado

I like it a lot though it feels slightly short in the sense that people with long heads may have their ears slightly sticking out even with the head strap adjusted fully slack.

بكل امانه سماعه من خلال تجربتي سيئة جداً اسلاكها تتقطع وحتى الاسفنج يتقطع حقها وانا تو شاريها ماخذت فتره للاسف جوده سيئة مانصح ابدا لكن المايك هو الكويس نوعا ما فيها

J’ai fait pas mal de recherche et écouté des tests de micro de plusieurs casque data et celui ci semblait avoir l’un meilleur. Je confirme la qualité audio du micro est impressionnante au point de sembler être un micro condenser. Mais pas seulement il a soit disant Dolby audio que je comparerais au Space audio sur AirPods, ce qui en fait un casque superbe pour plusieurs usage. Moi je l’ai acheté pour le travail. (J’ai la version filaire) Je l’utilise sur Mac, ça marche bien mais faut activer les extensions kernel pour pouvoir utiliser le logiciel icue

ماش بعض الاحيان اذا حطيت ميوت ما اقدر افكه و بعض الاحيان ابي احط ميوت ما اقدر و المايك لو شد حيله لقط نيتي
