The Corsair HS80 Max has almost everything you could want in a gaming headset for an enjoyable gaming session — clear high-resolution audio, a comfortable and stylish design, and good cross-platform compatibility. While you can’t listen to audio sources from Bluetooth and Wi-Fi at the same time, both connection types do work at long range. The headset’s battery life is also very decent.
If you already have a Corsair HS80 and it’s in good condition and you’re happy with it, keep the old one, it’s still very good, and I don’t think a fresh £159.99 investment will bring you a suitable reward. However, if your headset is begging to be replaced after a couple of years of abuse and you want something fresh, then the HS80 MAX is the way to go. Its MSRP is only £10 more than the old HS80, not bad given the better processing and extra battery life.
The Corsair HS80 MAX Wireless features a warm and detailed out-of-the-box sound that comes alive when paired with the excellent iCue software and tools like SoundID. And, it's great when paired with a PS5.
The HS80 Max Wireless is a good headset. The sound quality is particularly impressive, the headset produces clean, loud audio which sounds great for both games and media. The built in microphone works well and will handle online chat with ease. Build quality could be better, with a mostly plastic build, but the yokes are metal so the strength is there where it's needed most. Overall, a good headset that comes at quite the price.

The HS80 Max delivers a more than solid performance in music and is great in gaming, thanks to proper 50 mm drivers. You get excellent wearing comfort. The headband should be durable, as are the ear cup mounts (as I’ve used the predecessor for almost two years without an issue). The wireless functionality is implemented well; you get a 50-hour (in our scenario) battery life (65h according to the product page), range in our case was between 8 and 12 meters (not 15 as stated by Corsair).
While a good sounding headset, the Corsair HS80 Max distinguishes itself mostly on the strength of its feature set. It doesn’t have multipoint connectivity, but it has both wireless and Bluetooth, along with a bunch of EQ options including a personalization one. On top of that, it offers customizable RGB lighting that many budget and mid-range wireless models skip.
Nos gusta este modelo de Corsair por su diseño sobrio mediante diadema de puente único con felpa adaptable en altura, proporcionando buen y cómodo agarre, unos pabellones increíblemente cómodos y botones de control de buen acceso.
The HS80 MAX isn’t revolutionary, or iterative, it is more of the same. However, if you missed out on it last time, then this is the one to look at. It’s a fairly standard listening experience, but within the gaming space, the access to Dolby Atmos really becomes a selling point. The comfortable design and professional look, along with the flexibility, do really snowball into a solid recommendation.
