Corsair’s HS80 headset delighted back in 2021. Its well-tuned audio, lower mid-range price tag, and comfortable shape set it apart from the rest of its cohort and set the series up for excellent long-term use. The newer Corsair HS80 Max certainly leans into these strengths in its latest iteration, even if some of its weaknesses are still fairly pronounced. A PC / PlayStation headset prioritizing easy wireless connections and rich audio texture, the Max has plenty going for it straight out the box. I took the 2023 model out for two weeks of testing to see where the brand’s geometric cups sit within thebest gaming headsetson the market.

Both carry the angled cup shapes that have become ubiquitous with the HS80 name itself and offer a comfortable housing for the ear itself, rather than squishing it into a circular form factor. That means no ear-pinching, even over longer sessions, but a spacious seal around the shape of the ear. (Image credit: Future) You will find a dash of leatherette running across the ski-style headband, providing a slight cushioning to the inner strap. This band is adjustable via velcro pads on the underside of the main plastic bridge. While a neat way to keep a fabric band in place, I prefer a sliding scale as it’s difficult to perfectly balance each side when simply relying on eyeballing each side. This design also means material hangs over the sides of the headset when not worn should you increase the headband size. The strap itself carries some strong tension in its elastic, keeping the head protected from the harder plastic above. It’s also a little slimmer than other ski bands, most notably those fromSteelSeries. That does put a little more pressure on the crown than a more cushioned approach, which did wear on me a little during longer periods of testing. I found myself shifting the position of the headband a few times after around two hours of wear, seating it forward or backward on my head to give each area a break. Lengthening the strap helped this problem, but resulted in additional pressure from the cups themselves falling too low over my ears. If you’re used to ski bands, this isn’t going to be a massive issue, but anyone coming from a wider band like theSteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wirelessis going to feel it slightly. (Image credit: Future) Features The Corsair HS80 Max doesn’t do anything too crazy with its feature list. This is a wireless headset with both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth (though no dual-connectivity for simultaneous listening), 50mm neodymium drivers, and a flip-to-mute microphone. However, there are a couple of additional extras included here that you might not find on competing models. The Bluetooth connection button, for example, doubles up as a playback center, allowing you to play/pause, move between tracks, and control incoming calls via a series of single, double, or triple presses. That’s not something I see too often in a gaming headset, and it’s a feature that lends itself particularly well to those who want to double up their purchase for a regular set of everyday headphones. This would be a much bigger deal if the microphone had been detachable, though. As it stands, you’ll be walking around town with a giant wedge of plastic up the side of your face which isn’t ideal. (Image credit: Future) Booting up the iCue software also reveals another fancy addition to the Max’s soundstage; SoundID. While its setup feels a little like smoke and mirrors, the program is designed to create an audio preset tailored to your own preferred listening style. For me, that meant bumping up the power of lower ranges and expanding room in the mids. It does make a difference to the overall soundstage but doesn’t massively alter the quality of the audio coming through. I noticed a beefier response from explosions and heavier artillery, but not much that couldn’t be achieved with simple EQ tweaks. Performance Straight out of the box, the Corsair HS80 Max performs particularly well. There’s a richer tone to this audio than I’ve heard before, with emphasis on the lower mid-range. While there’s not much space in the stage itself, those bassier areas really shine through providing excellent punch to heavy sound effects. That warmth does mean you lose a little power in the upper ranges. The twinkly, melodic soundtrack of Super Mario RPG felt a little cramped, though with the volume pumped up and some EQ settings tweaked it became apparent that there’s actually a lot of clarity in these higher tones. (Image credit: Future) In experiences where the HS80 Max can shine, it does. The open-world environments of Fallout 4 and Horizon Forbidden West are bursting with life through these cups, from the definition of smaller details to the power of larger crashes and gunfights. Watching the Brotherhood of Steel descend for the first time through the HS80 Maxs was a particularly impressive ordeal. There’s a texture to the mid-range that is often difficult to balance. Many gaming headsets opt to put their emphasis on lower ranges, paying more attention to footsteps and gunshots in their sound profiles. While that attention has been dutifully paid here (not quite with the directional accuracy of something wildly more expensive like theAudeze MaxwellorAstro A50 X), it’s in dialogue, soundtracks, and the crunch of a gravel road beneath your feet that the HS80 Max truly weaves its magic. The microphone is a little jarring in comparison. This is a weaker mic that will simply get the job done rather than providing high-end broadcast-quality sound. It’s far flatter than theRazer BlackShark V2 Pro’s model and has a little more noise so its profile overall. Should you buy the Corsair HS80 Max? (Image credit: Future) The Corsair HS80 Max launched last year at $179.99 / £169.99, but it can be found at around $150 when on sale these days (the UK has seen its own discounts but they’re not as frequent). Those kinds of numbers put the Max up against theSony Inzone H5for PS5/PC players, but we’ve also got the slightly more expensiveCorsair Virtuoso Proand the slightly cheaperRazer BlackShark V2 Hyperspeedto contend with. The latter is currently my top pick for the best headset for most players. It’s substantially cheaper than the HS80 Max at MSRP and packs a better microphone, a wired USB-A connection option, and an audio better suited to more competitive play. If you don’t mind leatherette earcups, it’s the better headset on paper - just be wary that the build quality isn’t quite as strong. The microphone still doesn’t detach (and doesn’t even flip up on the BlackShark) but does perform much better than Corsair’s. If you just want your gaming headset to stay on your desk, the BlackShark is the better option. However, if you’re going to take your cups out and about, Corsair does still have an edge. The Virtuoso Pro is just edging on the HS80 Max’s price point, at $199.99 / £169.99, and is generally a better headset overall. However, the open-back nature means it’s strictly for home use (and use in a quiet room), there’s no wireless connectivity, and you’ll be faffing with a few cables to get everything set up. That means it’s not the best option for the vast majority of players - if you’re not a streamer, you’re better off with the HS80 Max. TheSonyInzone H5 is more of a direct competitor in price these days, and an option I personally found more comfortable than the ski-band design of the HS80 Max. You’re dropping your battery life and killing Bluetooth features, but still keeping a richly textured soundstage similar to that of the Max. If you’re concerned about comfort across the crown of your head, this is my next go-to - though you are making a lot of sacrifices in other areas.
