I think the reason you are having a hard time finding out which EQ you are in is because there are no EQ settings for PS5. It’s all flat stereo audio as Corsair has confirmed EQs do not work on PS5. It’s only iCue driving the EQs.
Hey King, really good review. You're knowledgeable and experienced with a variety of headsets, so you know what you're talking about. 2 points of criticism that could turn this "really good" review into a "great/excellent" review, are Corsair is pronounced "Core-sare," with "sare" sounding like "tear" as in "tear in half." The other point is, you talk about the adjustable headstraps, but then say it's "not one size fits all." That's what the straps are for. They're more inconvenient than over-head straps, but to say it's not "one size fits all," and to spend more time explaining that than the straps that negate that point, muddles the clarity of your review. Other than that, this review is very well done with great production value and is otherwise in-depth - for example you state the battery life, but give us your real-world experience with it.
Loved the fact that you give an update after using it after a while. It gives us a good sense of what to expect in the long term. Ive also been using the blackshark v2 pros for nearly a month now and I'm thinking about making a switch to the hs80. What would you say is a better headset?
@@DatGuyArad I just bought the hs80 to try it out. So far the only thing that pulls me toward it is the mic quality but the headset really squeezes my head. The main reason could be that I have a big head but in general, I would give comfortability to the blackshark. Thinking of returning it now and getting either the blackshark or a SteelSeries headset.
@@aldrinegomez2108 Oh wow. Ive had the steelseries 3 for about 4 years now and its till in perfect condition im looking for a new one because the headband is a bit loose, definitly reccomend them though.
Just go the hs80 wired , it does work excellent on computer but when I connect it to the ps5 the mic the volume wheel and power button on the headset does not work! Help please 😢
Is there a way i can connect my corsair hs80 to my monitor so that both my ps5 and OBS studio can detect it? I dont have a usb outlet on my monitor. Is there anything i can do?? 😢
Guys great video man !!!!! Love the detail and depth you went into testing this headset out fire 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 review bro Also hss add be you seen the new EPOS H3 HYBRID WIRELESS HEADSET ?? Another great headset that just came out !!!
I have Astro a50’s and I want to experience the full on experience without the adapter . I have the base station connected through a optimal cable that connects to my LG Oled tv . My tv supports Dolby surround sound do you think I’m getting the full potential for the headphones .
I feel you bro. We still had A50s too when we got our PS5s. Did the same thing with the optical cable to the Oled TV with Dolby Atmos. Now, they're louder than most headsets, but unfortunately bro no. Your only hearing sounds from whatever the TV is providing and not taking advantage of the 3D Audio from the PS5. Definitely recommend upgrading when you can
@@taskforcejay7599 If Keep you can, I'd say keep your A50s if your comfortable with them, until you find your right headset. For you, I recommend checking out either the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 or Razer BlackShark V2 Pro. There both loud headsets in my opinion and do very well with sounds in COD. Definitely do your homework for yourself though to see what's best for you. Btw, We are going to try the Razer Kaira Pro and Epo H6Pros (closed back) on the channel too. Heard great things about those 2 headsets, so we're going to see for ourselves. Maybe check out those too.
I need your help. I’m on a PS5 (only) and don’t know which headset. The lack of EQ ability with ps5 makes me apprehensive when compared to say the 7+ I currently have the pulse and hate them but need a new headset for primarily Apex and then destiny. 7p+ TB 700 g2 Corsair hs80 Razer blackshark
Don’t pick the gen 2 they are so heavy and the mic picks up everything with literally 0 software customization, the audio quality isn’t bad out of the box neither is the mic and they are comfortable just super heavy
@@DuzTron I ended up just sticking with my terrible pulse hs. I just couldn’t come to grips spending $150-200 on something I can’t adjust EQ since I don’t have a Pc at the moment.
@@DTTechTwins I actually ended up getting these as a gift the following day. You can use the charging cable without wifi connector and it works and stills used the 3d audio
Thanks for watching bro🔥. Yeah the video is coming, but comparing them right now. the HS80 is definitely a cool looking headset. Performance wise. HS80 feels like an entertainment headset(well balanced sounds with nice base) while the 7p is more fps competitive focused with more sound features. BUTT, On the other hand, HS80 does have a 10 bandwidth equalizer while the 7p only has 6, so you could make the HS80 the best of both worlds. I think its all about preference at the end of the day💪🏾. Hope this helps bro🔥
Steelseries did come out with the 7p+ not to long ago. Heard some great stuff about it. I believe it has a 10 bandwidth equalizer now Check it out. We definitely may get that for a review and comparison with the 7p
The mic is quiet? Pretty crazy considering how high praise the mic gets.. how does the sound quality sound? Are they loud ? I got the 7p and they’re not loud at all
@@0Shyyne I just returned arctis 7+ because they didnt fit my head. The HS80 are way louder on volume. like a good 25%. Still ironing out issues, where SteelSeries was seemless. The mic sidetone barely works. Deal breaker for me.
Your welcome bro🔥. I'd say it's worth it if your looking for an entertainment headset. Something to use for single player games, shows and movies. I wouldn't recommend this for competitive players
I have the HS80 and Razer Blackshark V2 Pro wireless headsets. The HS80 are super comfy but have an ongoing issue with the mic. Some people get lucky and avoid the issue. Some don't. Issue is the mic is extremely quiet. I have a forum post that's like 7 pages long on the Cosair forums and even got developers posting in it. I also explain how I fixed the quiet mic issue using 3rd party software. Otherwise, the HS80 is a great headset with phenomenal sound. I, personally, get around 13 to 14 hours of battery life. I keep the lighting turned off and volume around 60%, which is still plenty loud. Great headset for movies, games, music etc. Just gotta roll the dice on the mic issue is all.
@@Drewsterman777 Thank you for answering. I'm a user who used only earphones and switched to wireless headsets. Eventually, I chose HS80 and I'm using it well without any problems. The battery lasts for a long time only when I give up RGB lights, but I'm using them with the lights off because I can't see them myself. I'm so satisfied with the battery, microphone, and sound quality!
@@ehdrn3272 Wow consider yourself lucky that you don't have the quiet mic issue that a lot of HS80 users are having. Color me jelly lol. I absolutely loved that headset but the mic issues drove me nuts. I now use the EPOS H3Pro Hybrid wireless headset and the audio is absolutely phenomenal.
Another banger here I have been looking at that headset some this is the first review I saw on it I updated my Razer Nari Ultimate headset and the bass and haptics will shock you I’m waiting for the Kira Pro PlayStation 5 headset with haptics the sound will shock you
Every users PS5/4 must remember. This Headset its for PC. For us is crap, every functions not work in console!!!No EQ no settings in aplication. Not recomenden.
I've seen a few comparisons and it definitely has a better mic, soudwise I haven't heard them side by side but they seem to be a very nice option and also the p7 use the old micro USB plug for charging instead of USB C
HS80 basically best value wireless headset you're gonna get below 200 dollars. Artic 7P has nothing on it. Just for the mic quality alone hs80 is king.
I think the reason you are having a hard time finding out which EQ you are in is because there are no EQ settings for PS5. It’s all flat stereo audio as Corsair has confirmed EQs do not work on PS5. It’s only iCue driving the EQs.
Those the EQ work on PS4 I made a custom profile on the software but it still sounds the same on ps4
Wait a minute, so the EQ settings has not worked on the PS five for FPS shooting games

Does the headset work with nintendo switch docked?
Yes!
My head set has this white static noise in the headset on ps5 has anyone encountered this?
The fact that Corsair did not implement turning off the RGB really sucks. You can lower the brightness but that's all.
you can literally turn it off
Is the rgb stuck on white or do you know how to change that

It’s making my game lag for some reason and I’m on PS4 by the way what can I do?
