They actually fixed the mic in yersterdays update for the hs80 MAX & the sound improved noticeably too. Max volume increased as well so its louder. Its as good or slightly better than a Virtuoso now in a much lighter package, with bluetooth & crazy good battery life. Exactly what I was looking for in a premium headset.
@@xcellfury99 Thanks for this info ! i take the HS80 Max for my pc & PS5 so :D I've hope the mic will get an update to be like the original but with a better battery life & sound ID Thanks corsair, and thanks to you for the info ! Is the update is on Icue or need to be get on web separately ? (sorry if my english isn't the best, i try to be understable ^^" )
@@5_i_v_e Hey, does are the settings saved on the headset? i would deactivate the rgb light and have a custom EQ, but not sure if thats possible on console running wihtout the icue sofware in the background.
@@TheProvokedPrawn It's a shame really since they were 240€ in my country and I was running the latest firmware and synapse version. Kinda bummed since the same issue happened to me with the logitech pro x wireless.
I'm having nothing but trouble with the icue5 software, to the point I can now longer use it on my PC. I found it keeps crashing and now finally can't even install or reinstall either.
Hi i play on ps5 only i dont have a pc is it worth buying these hs 80 max for ps,5 because you cant tweak the eq for ps5 only pc which headphones sound better on ps,5 Corsair hs80 max or the black shark you heard both which one sounds better with no EQ settings which one would you pick thank you and stay safe and happy gaming
Has anyone else been having issues with the hs80 max? Randomly today im not able to adjust the EQ. I can toggle different settings but no change happens
5 momths later, i have given back the headset to my electronic shop. They still didnt fix it from randomly disconnecting and changing to a non adjustable mode... 👍 Gonna have the blackshark in the middle of the next week 😊
@@LeoBoobi I'd recommend you check out the Razer subreddit as it seems people are having a similar experience with the Blackshark at the moment following an update. I don't own either but just something I've come across in my research over the past few days!
@@mimedou corsair is better but randomly disconnects around every 15 -20 Mimutes with no reason. Its a known issue but still no fix since 6 months. 🤷♂️
The lack of bluetooth was the only thing preventing me from buying the HS80, didn't know about the follow-up and it's almost perfect. Can anyone say how long it will be before the microphone arm will lose it's rigidity?
and USB C wired option is gone. FFS Corsair, an USB A dongle? Why don't you make a USB C dongle with a C to A Converter attached to it.... like a sane person. Not perfect at all
I'm looking for a new headset that has good sound and bass but also a usable microphone. I've now come across the Logitech g pro x2 and the corsair hs80 max. The Logitech does have an inferior mic than the Corsair, but from what I've heard better sound and bass than the Corsair headset. Anyone have experience? Which Headset is more recommended?
i was wondering how do i connect Razer BlackShark pro2 to my pc without using the dongle. My pc is MSIX670E CARBON WIFI WITH 7900X3D 32GB RAM. I try to connect it but it doesn't seems to find.
I went with the razor blackshark v2 pro 2023, but there is noticeable white noise when nothing is played. The microphone was the reason to go with the razer, but as stated here in comments there is a new update for the corsair, maybe I'll try that one too. An information whether the firmware update has really improved the quality would be great for sure.
@dcastar I tried the HS80 wireless rgb. I don't recommend it. Sadly, my head is big, so no comfort and makes your ears sweat. Directional surround system is very confusing even when you activate dolby. I still have Corsair Void Pro 2018 edition, it has better mic, better comfort, and better headset in general.
does anyone know how these headphones behave on ps5? which are the ones with the best sound on ps5 so basically without counting the custom settings which I imagine don't work on console. thanks
Blackshark V2 2023 works perfectly on PS5. Volume is great and microphone sounds crystal clear. PC changes do carry over as I added sidetone in Synapse a d it works on PS5
can’t decide if i wanna get this or the nova pro wireless. i got the nova pro wired and i just can’t do wired. and the maxwells were to heavy for my head
I've tried both the nova pro wired and wireless. I currently own the maxwell, nova pro wireless and the razer BS v2 2023. The nova wireless is really good! But you will notice a downgrade in the Sound going to the wireless. The nova is better than the BS 2023 though 💁♂️
Imo because i've had the Nova Pro wireless/ Maxwells and the V2 Pro 2023 get the HS80 Max is absolutley the best. From sound quality ( Sound ID) to the comfort and the mic is awesome now they pushed an update! The only downside is no simultaneous BT

Microphone sound tests from 8:20
can you talk about sound quality more please cause i wanna buy hs80 but so many people saying negative stuff on the sound quality of hs80
already fixed in the update, mine sounds great & louder now
The sound is really good especially with the Sound ID. You will not be disappointed.
@@5_i_v_e i brought the usb version becouse of the budget. Do you know a program just like soundid that works with hs80 wired?

I was looking around for a video just like this! Trying to decide which one to get. This really helped 👍🏼
Thanks for watching. Glad you found it useful. Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe 🦐
The Blackshark had a very loud white noise when Audio was not playing so that was disappointing
Not experienced that though others have said it has been fixed with firmware
@@TheProvokedPrawn It's a shame really since they were 240€ in my country and I was running the latest firmware and synapse version. Kinda bummed since the same issue happened to me with the logitech pro x wireless.
@@Teetumus I got the same issue did you manage to fix it?
@@MrSlimpeX Unfortunately I didn't find a fix and ended up returning them to the store
The mic on the HS80 is impressive but my large head defaults to the blackshark purely because I can't even fit on the HS80
8:24 Mic test
Is the HS80 Max Mic better then Shark with new update?
I don't think so ua-cam.com/video/e52qEHgH4s4/v-deo.html

curious how they sound when use on consoles

I also wanted to understand the same thing
but I saw on the versus site to compare them that the Corsairs have LDAC to have a higher bitrate on PS5
You try the G Pro X 2 Lightspeed yet?
Soon
As much as i want to get the razer bs v2 its price difference to the corsair is equivalent to 100$ in my country

how are they in terms of glasses, im very skeptical to buy an headset beacause I wear them
I wear glasses and have no issues.

HS80 Max has no Soundtone. well it does but it's basically non-existent. I had it. returned it. Major L. Go with the BlackShark
