Wow omg that mic sounds so good, and that was simply plugged and played!!

[@BOHICAvsFUBAR]

Off topic.. (Kind of) Do you notice if wearing a headset is causing a dent to form on top of your head? A few streamers are switching to earpods because they have a fear of forming a dent on their head from the band. Your thoughts?

[@philly4yaa]

After looking across the market for a few weeks now for headsets, i'm so glad i came across this headset. What sold it for me? Mic - literally, the best quality I've ever heard from a headset Earcup accessibility (as any headphone user knows that these always get replaced) affordability. Give us a code here in Australia!

[@TheTrueBloodish]

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.

[@TonySpontano]

Maybe u can reply for my question at top?

[@kakkakontent]

About to buy this headset. Thanks for the review. Really helpful!

[@RandomGyro_]

700.) I bought these on refurb sale through Corsair for $75, and added a pair of the Wicked Cushions on your recommendation. (This video is 2 years STRONG on persuading purchasing cues!) VERY happy so far. Awesome sound reproduction, insanely clear mic, and the cushions are STINKIN COZY!!! Appreciate the words of wisdom my man. 🙏

[@Psygnosis]

That mic test sounded very natural. Quite impressed also by the price point. Only cons I see is none retractable/removable mic. By the way will this work with any other cable or only the cables from Corsair? Just thinking long term when the battery dies out and can't find replacement batts.

[@hawesome145]

Hey Techne awesome review as always, could you please answer a couple questions on these as really considering buying them and selling my Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2. When connected to PS5 can you disable the RGB? I have heard that your choices made on the PC software don’t carry over to the headset so are reset when you connect to console. Same for Mic light and custom presets. Could be a deal breaker

[@gerardbascuguin1916]

Great video! Looks like a good product. I wonder if it will come in white.

[@neoonpc2628]

im gonna be completely honest, i was watching this video over and over and over again for 3 months, thinking about the comfort, and MAN! the comfort is one of the best in my opinion, sound is awesome, i am a bass person so i use bass boost in ICUE, i would just like it more if i could seal the sound with some earcups, because i can hear people and my pc. but overall, worth the money in my opinion and i would recommend it!

[@danielpuntriano5748]

Man I keep thinking of the comfort. I just hate headphones with really tight clamping force, I hope these don’t have that issue? I’ve got a pretty small head aswell compared to the average

[@ragn3852]

Amazing review and that mic thooo insanely good sound quality.

And could compare it to the Rode NT-USB or Blue Yeti. Just an idea thank you!!

Great Vid Mate, What do you would buy Stellseries arctis 7 or this hs80...? Can you test this two headsets an tell us witch one is better

[@twoxos]

I'm coming up on a year of owning these, they've been nothing short of wonderful. Worth every penny I spent. The mic quality, the sound quality, the comfort, the build, it's all almost perfect. My main gripes with these have been the battery life and range. Fortunately, that's been addressed with the newest iteration of the HS80 in the HS80 Max, should you decide to spend the extra cash on them. Nonetheless, this has been absolutely the best gaming headset I've owned.

Hi. You make me so want to buy these. The Mic sounded so good. My question is. Is it any better than steelseries arctis 9 wireless, in terms of comfort and sound?

[@FreshTillDeath56]

Good review. I tried the Hyper X Cloud II Wireless headset, and it's nice, but the earcups are too narrow. It's pinching my ears and giving me headaches. I'm gonna swap to these after seeing that mic test.

[@phucnguyen0110]

That's a freaking good mic for a wireless headset! :O

[@lawrencedevera9046]

Great detailed review! Does the hs80 wireless have the nvidia broadcast feature and does it require a nvidia rtx graphics card? I currently have a rx5700xt and i wanted to buy the headset but i worry if the mic would pick up the sound of my fan.

[@Juice8767]

I finally just bought one of these, can’t wait for it to get here. I wanted to spring for the newer Max but the Bluetooth isn’t simultaneous so pretty much worthless to me. I’m excited though because over the last year I bought a wireless Corsair keyboard and mouse and just realized recently that those 2 and a headset will all run on 1 dongle which is perfect for my rog ally.

[@rooskii.AfterHours]

alright, that mic test convinced me that I need to try. The Virtuoso regular was really good but lacking in the comfort range for me. These bigger cups and that top band might fix that issue.

I was in best but and got this headset on sale for $125. Man this thing is awesome! I had been using the A20 gen 2 for a while. While those are comfortable, they feel bulky to me. I bought these and they definitely feel great. They are so comfortable! The mic is great for sure and I like when it beeps to let you are muted or unmuted. I like the soft cloth earcups. They do seep sound but it’s not a deal breaker. I would def recommend these. I’m sure they work better on PC but these great for ps5 as well

[@FrankieMankie]

Hey man! Great video!! I need your help here: I bought the Corsair Virtuoso SE and I've been testing them for a week now. Sound is great, mic is awesome, but the headband is causing me some head pain after one hour... I got them for 95€ on Amazon and I'm considering returning them... Do you think the HS80 RGB (for 150€) are a better and more comfy option?

[@Jarhead_]

I have the Corsair hs50 and I absolutely love it and I’d like to know does it feel somewhat a the same comfort wise? Because the hs50 have leather earmuffs and I like that more than cloth.

How do these stack up against the g733? I'm between them, the mic on these is just awesome, having Dolby atmos certified is also a plus, when compared to the g733. Wich ones have bigger cups? I have an old pair of sony mdr 1000xm2, they sound great but they are a bit small and get my ears hot, for gaming I'm trying to find a "fresh" pair of headphones...
