Corsair HS80 MAX WIRELESS Multi-platform Gaming Headset with Bluetooth – Dolby Atmos – Qualitative Broadcast Microphone – Compatible with iCUE – PC, Mac, PS5, PS4, Mobile – Steel Gray

Very high quality sound and build quality. The icue softwares sound ID fine tunes the sound even further making them sound incredible. They are heavy but very comfortable even after long periods. The battery lasts a long time and recharges quickly, I've never had a problem with the battery. I can't comment on the mic as I've never used it but if its as good as both the build and sound then the mic will be awesome too. If thus set gets stolen then I'm buying another HS80 Max straight away. 10/10.

The headphones are sturdy, fit well, and have good sound. The microphone is very good, unlike models on the market that cost half as much. I appreciate the ability to turn the microphone on and off by changing its orientation.

I have read all those reviews online, but so glad I ignored the negative ones. The sound quality is just amazing after setting up your own soundID in the iCue software. Never even once disconnected from my PC. Totally worth it! Mic quality and build quality also superb!

Après une grosse déception il y'a quelques années du a la casse sans raison de l'arceau du Corsair HS60 au bout d'une semaine d'utilisation, mon intérêt pour les casques de la marque avait drastiquement chuté. Ce qui m'a permis de tester ces dernières années énormément de modèles de marques différentes dont : Beyerdynamic / Astro / HyperX ou encore Steelseries. Il faut dire que se HS80 MAX me fait de l'œil depuis un moment, mais j'avais très peur qu'il soit de mauvaise qualité et a des années lumière de mon Astro A40 TR dernier en date du a la grosse différence de prix et au faite que l'Astro a une table de mixage qui aurait pu faire la différence. Finalement selon moi et malgré plusieurs réglage de mon Astro le HS80 MAX est au dessus que sa soit en therme de confort de sonorité ou encore de qualité de son. Jamais j'aurais pensé être aussi surpris d'un casque a ce prix si abordable pour ce qu'il propose et en plus sans fil et je suis pas payé pour le dire. En therme de confort je le comparerai au Beyerdynamic DT 990 pro qui est vraiment un bonheur de therme de confort. Le HS80 MAX est vraiment bon a ce niveau avec sa lanière réglable et ses mousses a mémoire de forme en alcantara qui enferme bien les oreilles en floutant le bruit extérieur est ce qui me correspond. Le fait qu'il soit sans fil et connectable a mon téléphone rapidement et facilement m'a vraiment motivé a me le procurer c'est vraiment un plus dans mon cas et de plus avec une autonomie vraiment balèse. Pour parler du micro, J'en ai pas énormément l'utilité car j'ai un micro avec un bras mais je l'ai quand même tester en conversation téléphonique avec plusieurs personnes différente pour avoir leurs avis et d'après eux la voix est bien mis en valeur aucun grésillement ou bruit parasite le son de la voix est clair et net même en parlant fort. Grace a l'application Icue de Corsair ou l'on peu régler l'intégralité du matériel de la marque on peut bien entendu régler les lumières l'égaliseur, l'attribution des touches du casque. Il ya même le soundID qui permet d'effectuer un test d'audition pour régler le casque suivant votre audition, C'est fort. Vous aurez également l'accès au Dolby Atmos avec ce casque ce qui semble logique mais je trouve important de le préciser. Si vous cherchez un casque polyvalent avec un rapport qualité prix selon moi imbattable et qui vous permettra d'écouter de la musique, des films, de passer des appels clair ou encore de jouer sans faire de compromis sur la qualité de son et de confort (même en portant des lunettes) vous pouvez y'aller sans réfléchir.

I was thrown at first by the sound quality on these. My experience off the bat, using these with a desktop PC, was that it felt very muffled, like everything I heard was recorded in a room padded wall to wall in thick carpet. I did find two things that helped considerably, however, and with all those settled, I've ended up quite fond of this headset actually! #1: It comes with a free license for Dolby Atmos software, which seems to do some equalization and 7.1 sound simulation for audio on one's computer. I highly recommend taking advantage of this. This software can be bought standalone but it's not needed if used with just these headphones, and the sound quality subjectively seemed to improve considerably once set to the Movie or Music presets. #2: A gimmick feature also available is the "Sound ID" equalizer you can set up in Corsair iCue. You may want to set up Atmos first so it's factored into what you hear. This basically administers a hearing test of sorts for further refining the sound. I was a little more undecided on this but after a lot of comparison I did ultimately like it just a little more with this enabled. And with both of those set up, the sound quality was vastly better than out of the box. The battery life is impressive. I use these all day and still only have to recharge every few days of use (even with the silly lighting effects that you can't see while wearing them turned on), which doesn't take much time at all. They also connect via a small WiFi dongle that than bluetooth. This easily reaches the advertised range, even through walls, and in my experience even had better range than the proprietary "Slipstream" dongle used for the regular non-Max HS80, which struggled to reach an adjacent room. They're comfortable for me now that the initial acclimation and breaking-in period is done with, but the strap really only lets you clumsily adjust how high they sit on the ears. One big caveat: I use a large standalone microphone for recording audio, so I have not used the mic on the headset consistently. I have heard, secondhand, some reports that it's not as good as the microphone on the regular HS80 model. It's definitely lower quality than a standalone mic by a long shot, so the usability of that is something you may want to consider, although it's at least intelligible. In general though, for pure wireless audio not dependent on Bluetooth and some of the nightmare scenarios managing that can be in Windows 11, I'm really quite happy with it. Update: By way of warning, however, the cloth over the earphone padding on the left earphone has begun to peel away at less than one year of ownership, which isn't great. I'm annoyed this is necessary, but fortunately the pads do twist off fairly easily (twist the top part toward the back, relative to the way they're normally worn) and can be replaced with official replacements for about $20, or aftermarket alternatives for around $25.
