Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless Headset Review

Corsair, easily the biggest name in the world for PC gaming, is back with yet another high-end headset! They’ve been on a winning streak with their peripherals for quite some time, and while I look forward to their new headset, I still have a lot of love for their current and previous models, as do many PC and console users around the world. However, Corsair is changing quite a bit this time around, with a brand new design, new drivers, new wireless technology, a new microphone, and more. If you weren’t excited about the HS80 RGB Wireless before, now would be a good time to start.

Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless

Corsair has had great success with their Hyper-Fast SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS technology, especially with eSports gaming and faster-responding keyboards and mice. However, it’s being used here to deliver lower latency audio and because of the higher transmission speeds, also much higher quality audio. The headset has expanded range drivers, running at 20Hz-40,000Hz, as well as Dolby Atmos processing. Furthermore, in USB wired mode, you can go even higher, with 24bit/96kHz support, but a still impressive 24bit/48kHz in wireless mode Beyond that, you can their new ergonomic design, powerful wireless with up to 20 hours battery life, on-headset controls, and support for the PlayStation 4/5 as well as PC! So, let’s dive in for a closer look!
