The HS80 has the cleanest sounding mic I’ve heard on any headset just Imagine the hs80 with the XTs aesthetic, build, and features at the $150-200 price point. 🤯

[@RockwaterReese]

100% agree. I love the clean, natural sound of the hs80 mic. I can add noise gate and eq if I want, but it's nice to start with a neutral and natural sound. Baffles me that people think the virtuoso's mic sounds better.

[@FathoniYasir]

mic on the old virtuoso actually far better than the SE and XT variant, if not the same with HS80, trust me.

[@James-fv1cm]

Am I going crazy with all this research into premium gaming headsets or does the XT’s sound ever so slightly sound more like a pilot style type sound when compared to the HS80? Had I never of heard what the HS80’s sounded like I probably would never have thought that about the XT. But when they are directly compared I can’t help but think the 80’s are just that bit better. This is so frustrating because the XT’s have all the features I want 😢

[@cylerner]

​@@James-fv1cm Go with whats comfortable, if you have big ears than you may not like the hs80. I've heard the XT can have a tight squeeze for those that have bigger heads. Personally the HS80s are some of the most comfy headphones I've ever worn, the XTs padding wasn't the best and it felt like the pleather was going to break apart.

As a virtuoso user, I vote for HS80 even if I never got a chance to try them. Virtuoso are squeezing my head and ears like nut cracker and at the same time putting so much pressure on top my head. They really look good though…when they are sitting on the headphone stand.

[@giantdwarfulf]

I have the hs80 and it is really is that comfortable. You can easily wear it for 6 hours straight without the need to adjust the headset on your head. The best thing is that i got for less than 90 bucks on black friday

Do you have the normal virtuoso's or the xt?

[@alperkunden3659]

Do you have the SE or XT?

[@tristan3947]

Seriously I 100% agree with this, they looked so good but wearing them was torture and mine broke because of the pressure on the joint connected to the headband. Glad they changed the design to a wider and more solid joints.

I think you are talking about the SE

[@nezziTV]

Hope they make a premium version of the HS80 with Bluetooth and an amp. Dream headphones.

[@erem20]

They did

[@Bendigo1]

The best thing about the virtuoso is the connectivity features. I got it because I can easily listen to 2 sources at the same time. The sound quality is not the greatest but is still not bad. If they would make a headset with the design of the hs80 or the void, with the multi connection features of the virtuoso xt and bump the sounfmd quality up just a bit they would have an absolute winner!

You should be able to lower the volume of the voice prompts by turning down iCUE in windows volume mixer. That's what I do for my Corsair Void Elite wireless and it works like a charm. It works for both the voice prompts and the beep prompts, depending on what you have it set to, and you can even just mute it completely if you want.

Ty for this, returning my XTs tomorrow for the sole reason of the way it feels "sitting" on my head, which I thought was an excellent description on your part. Came from steel series and that headband is what i want. Will be buying the HS80s instead, your review is what I needed.

[@bassgrinder1335]

I had the HS80 until recently and I was really impressed by the sound, microphone and, above all, the wearing comfort. But....the battery life made me buy another wireless headset. My HS80 lasted a maximum of half a day (8 hours). And with the RGB lighting switched off. I was so annoyed that at some point I always left the charging cable connected. I then switched from Windows 10 to 11 and guess what In Windows 11 it totaly didnt work for me at all. I had done everything to get this thing to work but no chance. Now I own the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro and am super happy with it. Top sound, microphone with sonar also set well and the battery life is a dream!

[@manssupar]

yo bro i have nova pro but think to try hs80.. in bass sound and clear soundstage which one is better?

[@Warhorse469]

7 months after getting the HS80's what can I say they sound amazing so much so I would put them up against Sennheiser and EPOS headphones in terms of sound qulity but in terms of comfort I would have to give them 1 out of 5 stars, I do have are larger then normal head and I feel that's why I find these headphones so uncomfortable the lack of adjustment I'm normally used to with other headphones work great for me but since I do have a large head the bungee system doesn't work for me so that's something to consider if you are looking at getting these and you do have are large head hope this helps anyone thats looking into getting these headphones.

A HS80 with bluetooth would be amazing! They already have the HS70 Bluetooth, so an upgrade to that model to the current line up would be fantastic as well, for example having the same exact HS65 surround headset but with bluetooth, that would be an immediate purchase for me right now. I would use them for gaming via cable and for work calls I would use the bluetooth. Make it happen Corsair please 😍😍

Hey @techne, I have same comfort issues as you do with pressure on the sides and top of the head with glasses. Which one would you recommend? - I need good mic for discord - chat/game balance would be good because discord and raiding - sound is also important - comfort above all. - wireless preferred due to glasses and mic but can use wired if need be so not a deal breaker - BT not important at all - PC gaming only I’ve tried following and returned: - blackshark V2 (comfort was ok, ear pads felt a bit warm after use, and had to readjust everytime I put it on, which is annoying) - pro x: too much pressure on the sides - hyper x: again comfort is not the best - roccat syn pro air: was really good sound and mic. But same feeling as you that the ear cups kept itching/scratching a bit and it was annoying enough to return it - kraken tournaments sound wasn’t that exciting tbh Should o try HS80?

There’s reports that the battery life of the HS80 is about 8-hours, and not the advertised 20. Also, reports say it takes 3-hours to charge. The mic, although clear and natural sounding is very flimsy. Reports of people saying the EQ presets are awful minus Pure Direct, which is recommended you leave it on.

[@carsonguzman4709]

This is such a hard choice. I think HS80 slightly edges virtuoso. Some of the things come down to preference. But if they basically sound the same, and the mic sounds better on HS80 & hs80 is more comfortable, the only downside is the lack of Bluetooth connection. Which you can actually rig up a solution for that. Buy a Bluetooth aux adapter and zip tie it to the head strap or something. So your phone wirelessly connects to the Bluetooth receiver which then plugs into the headset via aux cable. You’ll potentially experience a slight audio delay more so than you might with a dedicated Bluetooth receiver built in, but for music & phone calls that doesn’t affect anything. Just videos and mobile gaming maybe

I've just got the Virtuoso and as I was using Corsair Voids Pro wireless for quite some time, no other headphones could accommodate my ears. Jump on the Virtuoso after I heard the clear microphone sound in some reviews. Sadly these , like any other headphones I've tried as were pressing the inner plastic on the ear, after 4hous it becomes less than bearable. In hope bigger pads would improve the situation I've ordered some, but than after few more hours I realized how painfully they are sitting on the top of my head (why would corsair put foam on both sides instead all of it at the side that has contact with your head). If you have protruding ears even just a tiny bit, Virtuosos will absolutely not be comfortable and the pressure on top of the head during longer gaming session will become unbearable... I will be getting HS80.

Actually hurts and the headset itself seems to want to squeeze my head like a lemon. One other thing, the mike feels cheaply made and every time I put the HS80 on or take it off, I feel like I'm about to break the mike off. Wish it could have been hidden in the headset. At least with the XT I will be able to remove it completely.

I'm currently having the same comfortability issue with the HS80's headband being pretty uncomfortable. Have you gotten and tried out the XT's and if so are they much more comfortable cus I'm thinking of returning the HS80's?
