    I’ve been using the HS60 pro for a few years and I still absolutely love it. Corsair’s built-in mic’s are insanely good. They really are better than a lot of the mid-range stand alone mic’s people use for gaming/streaming.

    I love how the HS 80's mic sounds better than wired headset mic's. I have a Logitech G Pro X and I Thought that, that sounded great, but when I hear the HS 80, it sounds like a studio mic. I came a bit closer to studio sound on the G-Pro with the blue voice, but nothing compared to that HS 80. And it's wireless! WOW, just WOW!!!

    I bought the Arctis 7 a bit more than 2 years ago and at first was quite happy with it. It is very comfortable, soundquality is nice, the mic is great and the overall design is amazing.
    After about a year the charging-port broke off due to poor soldering. This meant, that i couldn't charge the headset anymore and because the mic only works when connected wirelessly, the product became useless.
    The CS at Steelseries took forever to reply and then asked me to provide pictures of the broken part, for which i had to open up the headset, which they in turn used as an arguement to deny replacement/refund. After quite a bit of hassle, they eventually agreed to replace it.
    One year later, the same problem occured and this time the product was just outside the warrenty period.
    Instead of taking responsibility for selling a fundamentally flawed product, they simply shut me off with false simpathy and didn't even give me the chance to respond by marking the case as "solved".
    Having technical issues can happen, but you have to take responsibility and should never use formalities as an excuse to deny decent CS.
    Never again Steelseries!!

      I also have issues with my Arctis 7 pair after roughly 2 years of use, there's an annoying rattle on the left side and the left one doesn't work if I'm on full volume. These issues started after about 1 year of use, I just didn't feel like spending another $150 so soon. Such a shame as they have a lot of potential but they just don't hold up long term. I'm switching to the Corsair HS80 one, I hope I'll be happier with this pair!

    Not because I got a Corsair setup and want to use their audio visualizer, but because I have always had problems with headphones of any sort irritating my ears insanely fast.
    That material they use on the earcups looks like couch pillow material and I actually WANT to feel it on my head/ears!

Not that big of a deal as it works as soon as I volume it down just a bit but I still wanna be able to hear a call when I'm not wearing them and such on full volume.

    I've had the Arctis 7 for 4 years and they way I've described the way they sound is they are almost perfect in a very clinical way. No matter what you are listening to you will hear everything basically perfectly with zero distortion at any level. It sounds really good but I have never been blown away by any of it. There just seems to be something missing in the sound that I can't quite place. After 4 years of this I've found myself really wanting a headset that wows me more, but it seems like every headset I have tried has noticeable flaws in the sound that push me back to the Arctis. Also, the game/chat mix has become something I have to have in a headset, and I really wish more companies would use it.

    Had SteelSeries for years and I don't recommend them the long term. I'm floored that the earcup joints didn't snap and break when you starting pulling and twisting them during the "durability" test. Those joints are incredibly fragile, and are a known issue all over r/steelseries and elsewhere. Additionally, the headband is comfortable, but will slowly stretch itself out over time to the point I'm using a giant binder clip to keep it "tight" enough. And the insides of the foam pads have come apart. All the software for the Arctis is great, but the hardware is just trash.

      I've just had my Actis Pro break yesterday. The joints do seem fragile and its my first hardware faliure (just out of warrenty!). But a firmware update bricked my headset a couple of years ago and I had to get it replace. I 100% stand by the Apex Pro Keyboard I have - but I had a mouse fail on me too. I will definately not be giving steel series my money in the future - really dissapointing performance from a £300 peice of kit.

    I bought both to try them out and ended up returning one of them.
    The SteelSeries had great sound for fps games but the bass is lacking. When I attempted to increase the bass on EQ it creates crackling and static noise when I use them on my ps5 despite the bass not getting any louder. Also the mic is a big let down. My friends noticed immediately and pointed out that the mic was not good at all. However, the battery life is CRAZY good, no exaggeration.
    The hs80 has overall better audio. Nothing extraordinary but still pretty good. The ear cushions are tick and shaped the right way so your ears don’t touch the inside. Over many years this is the only headset I’ve used that doesn’t irritate my ears no matter how long I have them on for. The mic is AMAZING! My friends also noticed a difference but this time it was because of how good it is. My only complain would be the battery drains quick if you have the RGB light on and even with it off battery life is still short. Overall a great headset and a clear winner over the SteelSeries for me.

    The Steelseries is very comfortable and has clean nice sound. But it doesn't get that loud and the base is quite weak. And when you want to configure the EQ settings you have to switch back and forth from your PC to your console, it's a big hassle.

    I had my Arctis 7s for about a year, 2 days after the 1 year warranty expired the micro usb charge port broke off inside. I put it a warranty ticket, sent in videos and pics and they denied my claim. The entire time I've owned them I struggled to get them to charge. Long story short I had a pair of Turtle Beach that lasted 3yrs and the Arctis 7 just barely over a year. Go with the Corsair, they use the usb-c charge port and their customer service is better.

    Re weight and build, comparison on comfort: while it’s stated they are equal they are both loved, there are tons of unconscious behavioural indicators that demonstrate he prefers the Corsair. He points, keeps looking at them and leans towards the HS80 while he is talking about them both. It’s a behavioural indicator of preference.

    I actually prefer the sound on the 7s a lot more tbh. The HS80s sound too muddy for me but just like you I prefer a cleaner sound. I like to compare Arctis drivers to Sennheiser because both do the lows decently but shine in the mids and highs. I will admit that corsairs mic is unbeatable but I rarely use headset mics as I have a dedicated desk mic so that's never a factor for me.
    Plus I exclusively use my 7s as my console headphones(I pretty much only play single player gsmes on console) since I rock a whole stack with my HE4XXs on PC for that true audiophile goodness.

    I bought the arctics 7 a few days ago and it came in yesterday night, I tried it and hated it. It was REALLY comfy, like scary comfy, so at first I was amazed but after getting some music on I realized the sound quality was SO BAD, my heart dropped and I sat there kinda mad, you can't even turn up the bass too high or it starts hissing and crackling and I'm not the only one who experiences this. I love bass, the arctics just ahd 0 punch for me, beautiful highs and mids though but not a lot of bass or volume. Bought the HS80 about 20 minutes into messing with steel series engine with no avail. HS80 came in this morning and its so much better. I am satisfied. no jumping through hoops for sound quality, great mic and comfy but it didn't have the game/chat volume sliders which im sad about, good features, looks cool, comfortable but sound quality/mic quality is just lacking and that's the purpose of a headset. I wish these two could just fuse and have hs80s sound quality and mic quality with steel series features and comfort.

The Dac lets u "fine tune" the sound to ur liking and like a MixAmp you can utilize the Optical input. But.... The 7 are versatile the USB c dongle which I use for mobile gaming. For me personally it came down to the microphone picking up background noises and having the capability of shutting people up in the chat

The sound quality is amazing compared to wired headsets and Bluetooth headsets I used before. I also love the friendly interface that steelseries engine has. For the record, I tested the mic inside Steelseries Engine and discord and I have to said that the quality is great, maybe not as great as the HS80, but it’s still fine and it offers a great noise cancelling. I recommend to buy it when there is 20% or 33% discount :)
