Corsair HS80 RGB USB Review - The Best Value Gaming Headset?

[@FilmFanaticCommentaryClips]

I just picked up the wired version recently. Initially recorded some commentary via OBS. Getting a fair amount of unwanted feedback from the microphone i.e. is it too sensitive?!? *I'm trying to find the optimal position regarding microphone placement whilst wearing this headset*

[@Revu2u]

It sounds like you're experiencing some microphone sensitivity issues with your Corsair HS80 RGB USB headset. Here are some tips to help you optimize microphone placement and reduce unwanted feedback: Adjust Microphone Sensitivity: Open the audio settings in OBS and lower the microphone gain. This will reduce the sensitivity and help minimize feedback. You can also adjust the sensitivity in your operating system’s sound settings. For Windows, go to Settings > System > Sound > Input Device Properties and adjust the volume. Microphone Positioning: Experiment with different microphone positions. Try moving it slightly away from your mouth and positioning it to the side. This can help reduce the pickup of breathing and other noises. Ensure the microphone is not too close to your nose or mouth, as this can cause popping sounds and excessive noise. Use a Pop Filter: If your headset doesn’t come with a built-in pop filter, consider using an external one. This can help reduce plosive sounds (like "p" and "b") and minimize feedback. Noise Suppression and Gate in OBS: Use the noise suppression filter in OBS to reduce background noise. You can find this in the Filters menu under your microphone settings in OBS. Add a noise gate filter in OBS to eliminate low-level background noise. This ensures the microphone only activates when your voice reaches a certain volume. Check for Interference: Make sure there are no electronic devices nearby that might cause interference. Move your phone and other electronics away from the microphone. Ensure the headset cable is not tangled with other cables, which can sometimes cause interference. Software Updates: Ensure that your Corsair headset firmware and iCUE software are up to date. Sometimes updates can improve microphone performance and reduce feedback issues. By tweaking these settings and experimenting with microphone placement, you should be able to find the optimal setup for clear commentary without unwanted feedback. If the issue persists, it might be worth checking if there are any physical issues with the microphone or considering an external microphone for better control over audio quality.

Does the wired version work on ps4?

[@Siddely]

Hey man, just picked these headphones up and I wanted to ask how did you connect it to your xbox? I've tried plugging it into the console and with the dongle through the controller and doesn't do anything. Anything you had to setup before it worked? Cheers.

[@Revu2u]

Thanks for the comment. It was plug and play for us using the dongle.

[@remipennel121]

Anybody know how long the headset cable is? I need a rather long one for my gaming setup. Thanks.

#GAMERCHAT. Looks like a really good headset. Matt's comments were more positive than the negativity of it having a cord. The way you guys explained the sound quality, like surround sound, seems to be really exciting. Good luck to us all!!! 🍀 ☘️ 🍀 ☘️ 🍀

Corsair HS80 RGB USB is bad also this is not real Dolby Atmos.

[@Revu2u]

Thanks for sharing.

[@Ali-rw8tr]

Why it's bad

[@bryanpascual1706]

Can you be more detailed? Why it is bad

[@ahmadsultankadir1]

@@bryanpascual1706 Well this is shit and this is not feel like real experiences of Dolby Atmos. This just feel like half of Dolby Atmos and half Stereo 2.0 like mix and this is hard to tell how is really is it. This is good for some wanna have soft in sound like calm and nice. I did try also run software Dolby Access in Windows 11 and "Spatial audio" Off and Dolby Atmos for headphones and still bad for Dolby Atmos sound and feel weak of bass. You can not go much more high volume and you can not use even AMP with this when this is USB. Buy this and this is real Dolby Atmos. RIG 500 PRO HA or RIG 500 PRO HC This great for both Dolby Atmos and and Stereo 2.0

[@bryanpascual1706]

Thanks
