I’m pretty tired of “premium” headsets skimping out on microphone quality. That’s the whole point of a gaming headset! Maybe some day we will get a proper all around high quality headset…
i can have the HS 80 wireless for 100€, so i don't want to pay extra 89€ to have the 80 max But if they are at 149/189, i think i would pay for the max
Not sure what’s up with your HS80 Max. My MAX’s microphone sounds very nice and my friends in Discord mentioned my mics quality to be that of a broadcasting one with good fundament. I didn’t change any EQ for the Mic. I just pulled up the recording volume to 100 and the noise suppression to 0. Maybe check that you pull down the suppression in iCue. I have a feeling that is what’s causing the thin and bad sounding mic.
Where is the Noise Suppression setting in iCUE? I'm under equalizer and I see Mic Volume and Sidetone. Additionally, is your sidetone audible? I'm coming from Corsair VOID and the sidetone was immaculate. It is almost non-existent with the HS80 MAX.
I just bought the old version 2 weeks ago 😢 I am searching online before that if Corsair has any update for the hs80 lineup but to no avail. Now they have this.
In this video it is. But that shouldn’t be the case. I received mine this weekend and it sounds fantastic and even better than the wired Pc38x! I have a feeling that he didn’t disable the background noise suppression in iCue.
Have they updated the sound quality of the wireless mic? as the wireless mic on the OG hs80 is out of this world in terms of how good it is. it's the only thing stopping me getting the max
there was a firmware update on the mic 3weeks after it launched. hardware canucks covered this in their review if you wanna hear what the improved mic sounds like
@@mall_grab los dos tienen bluetooth? Es que me gustaría usarlo para más plataformas no solo para pc estaría bien que le pusieran un jack 3.5 aparte de lo que trae para poder usarlo en nintendo switch u otras multiplataforma y que el micro o se pudiese quitar o guardar dentro como los steelseries
The audio will die and disappear from Icue. So I'll have to unplug the dongle then plug it back in so that I can do it again in 20 minutes lol I've tried 2 headsets at this point. The 1st one has the issues I stated above. The 2nd one I got a few days ago to replace the 1st one but that one came DOA. The left driver was dead. Zero sound coming out of it. Updated the firmware and did all the troubleshooting on it. Just came dead lol. I have decided against my better judgment to order a 3rd headset... Support basically just wanted to send me another dongle. But this is my 3rd headset lol. I don't think it's a dongle issue but a software issue. So now I'm thinking of just giving up on the hs80 max all together. Which is a shame because I love it when it works
Can you compare hs80 max compare to now few year old virtuoso xt recordings quality specially on Bluetooth connection. Which would have a better mic quality? They are both about the same price point.
Dolby atmos is cool and all, but my steelseries sonar does this to almost better, especially those who are on discord the wired set is impeccable the mic is unreal
Hello! I have a question related to these HS80 Max headsets, and since I reached here in this video, maybe someone can help me. Let's say I want to charge my headsets and play games in the same time. Does this work? Using wireless / bt connection for the audio, and using the charger to charge the headsets? I tried to get this info but some say that is working, and other say that is not working...
Across my forehead and around back at that level, my head measures 25 inches. I have had two Corsair headsets snap after a week or two. Pray tell, what headset can I buy that will last??
@@PostprandialTorpor thanks I ordered one yesterday, just wish I could also plug the max in for wired use, but seeing that the battery life is majorly improved lets hope it is never needed
HS 55 wireless vs HS 80 Max, both offer Bluetooth + slipstream wireless, what make it half the price difference? Cant decide. Could you explain? Thanks
I had the corsair premium wireless headsets last 2 generations. They were both trash. Sound , mic, finish issues. Uncomfortable after 1 hour of wear. Earcups came apart at the seams. Lmfao. These things were maybe worn for 50 hours in the past year and never dropped. I felt bamboozled. Save your money and get something that won't fall apart after 1 year and has great sound and mic. Corsair are not there yet. Especially in the $250+ field. All you're paying for is the rgb sync. That's only thing that never gave me an issue. Corsairs were tested on pc , ps5 and android.
Corsair hater detected. Headphones are really a personal preference for each individual. One would say that these one sounds great , others may that they don't. Ears like eyes can be very sensitive. So I'd say that your opinion is subjective and not objective at all.

It's been fixed with a firmware update.
The original HS80 mic sounds almost as good as my duocast
do you know why i can't update the firmware for the hs80 max it always says error...@@TheProvokedPrawn
Is it as good as the hs80 now?

Thank you sir you just saved hours of troubleshooting! haha
How can you that on ps5
@@jay-c070 You can't. Connect your Headset to a PC and update the Firmware. That should fix mic problems.
I dont have suppression in icue. only "Mic Vol" and "Sidetone". Where do you find it?

there was a firmware update today for the hs80 max do you know if this fixed the mic issues?
Can you compare the hs80's mic with the v2 pro 2023
Hs80 is better
@@gtsishere Did you try both?
The mic quality on the new one is a bit disappointing

Probably just needs a firmware update
Firmware update fixed it apparently
Hey, can u tell me where i can find this option in iCue? I cant find it...@@87detto

As someone like myself that doesn’t have either one which one do you think is the better choice of the two
Go with the regular HS80, there's no massive difference compared to MAX. You'll save a pretty buck.

With the dongle

Does this have noise cancelling? Thanks for the answer
is the hs80 WIRELESS and the hs80 rgb WIRELESS the same?
Where'd you get that terminator head

Shame about the head size issue, my head is hilariously large, so i cant wear normal helmets. I guess i shouldnt get one of these sadly
Are these compatible with the tempest audio of PS5? And how about the EQ settings, can they be carried over when connected to any console?
I have it, support tempest audio 3d in ps5 but not support the perfil audio EQ
Can the new hs80 max only be used wirelessly?
thats exactly my concern i rather use wired.
I think the hs80 can be wired, you just use the USB c to USB and should work as a wire.
Idk about the max

Big head! 🎉
What is the new battery life on the max?
from all reviews i red its 4-5 hours not worth for the price.
Can i use this with my smartphone by using otg cable bro.......please reply 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Did you get your answer?
Yaa I get it , I can use@@Dawird
Does the max have the same bad range as the hs80?
No. GadgetryTech channel reported great range now

It has been improved a bit with a firmware update.

Ok
So, what is best?
wtf the normal HS80 micro much better then the HS80 max why is that so
It would be better if the hs80 max came with a USB type-c dongle😌
Most people don't have usb-c on their PCs
@@jamesw657 they can use USB type-c to type a adapter converter
No cause consols like ps4 dont have usb-c
