      Do you notice if wearing a headset is causing a dent to form on top of your head? A few streamers are switching to earpods because they have a fear of forming a dent on their head from the band. Your thoughts?

    You should be able to lower the volume of the voice prompts by turning down iCUE in windows volume mixer. That's what I do for my Corsair Void Elite wireless and it works like a charm. It works for both the voice prompts and the beep prompts, depending on what you have it set to, and you can even just mute it completely if you want.

    I'm coming up on a year of owning these, they've been nothing short of wonderful. Worth every penny I spent. The mic quality, the sound quality, the comfort, the build, it's all almost perfect. My main gripes with these have been the battery life and range. Fortunately, that's been addressed with the newest iteration of the HS80 in the HS80 Max, should you decide to spend the extra cash on them. Nonetheless, this has been absolutely the best gaming headset I've owned.

  • @Psygnosis
    @Psygnosis 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    That mic test sounded very natural. Quite impressed also by the price point. Only cons I see is none retractable/removable mic. By the way will this work with any other cable or only the cables from Corsair? Just thinking long term when the battery dies out and can't find replacement batts.

    As a person who is continually searching for a perfect headset (no such thing), I have purchased a ton of them over the years - with brands like Sennheiser, Logitech, Astro, Cooler Master, Turtle Beach and more. I consider myself experienced when it comes to gaming headsets. So let me say this about the HS80: Hands down - best sounding mic I have ever heard on a headset, but that was on a PC test. I would like to know how it performs on the PS5. Apparently, Sennheiser mics are not #1 for microphone quality anymore.

    @Drewsterman777 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @techne I'm surprised you didn't have the issue with low mic output volume. There is a 8 page forum post on the Corsair forums detailing this issue. It's affecting a lot of customers so far. I replaced 3 HS80 headsets with bestbuy before finally giving up on this headset because the mic volume was too low to where people had me at 200% in Discord and could barely hear me. I had to use a 3rd party program to boost the mic for it to work properly. I then ran into issues where certain games would try to take full control of the mic and it ended up lowering the volume all the way down again. I don't know if this is a firmware or driver issue but I tried everything to fix it. We had a couple Corsair reps in the thread about it but so far nothing from Corsair for months.

    • @AndyU96
      @AndyU96 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I had an arctis pro wireless, used it very cleanly and it still ended up half-dying on me.
      1- The power button would occasionally not work, a medium-to-low level of shock to the right earcup (like a tapping on the earcup with your finger with medium force) would make the headset turn off and it wouldnt turn back on until you hit the earcup again a couple times...
      2- The charging station for the batteries developed inconsistent contact issues. Sometimes I would put a battery in there and it would say it's 2 bars charged already when it actually has near 0, and it would actually not charge the battery at all; then I would remove the battery and place it in there again and it would at last show the charge correctly and actually charge it.
      Both of these unrelated problems began immediately after 2 years of clean use, and I don't remember dropping the headset even once. It's honestly not durable enough for the ridiculously high price of 300 dollars.

      thats the problem with techne, he is literally hyping every new headset. if you look at rtings you will see that the corsair headsets have horrible accuracy, the cloud II wireless on the other hand r suprisingly neutral for hyperx standarts. prob the reason why most reviewers say that the cloud II wireless is the one to get right now. but staying away from gaming headsets in general is prob the best advice you can give. any sennheisers like the hd560s r gonna smoke these cheap as headsets by a mile and you dont even need a amp cause any decent mobo soundcard can amp these headphones nowadays. and if you really need the build in mic convenience go for the pc37x/pc38x even though they r a little bit too dark for me

      @@EjayT06 problem with gaming headsets is that most of them use fairly cheap drivers and companies boost the shit outta them especially in the bass regard but the drivers r not capable to keep the clarity with boosted lows like that. the cloud IIs or flights for example have boosted lows and highs so everything ends up beeing super loud and pronounced but all it does is making you paranoid cause you cant figure out where sounds actually coming from. after i tested the gsp 600 and p37x from sennheiser which have pretty neutral sound for headsets i realised how much more calm you play cause you can really tell where sounds r coming from and if you take the next step with good headphones like the hd560s or dt990pros for example you get that balanced sound + high end drivers that give you amazing clarity and detail

I bought these and they definitely feel great. They are so comfortable! The mic is great for sure and I like when it beeps to let you are muted or unmuted. I like the soft cloth earcups.

It's also way more comfy than the hs80 and has a removable mic. The only downsides are micro USB charging (not a huge downside since you get the cable but USB c is just nice) and an ok mic, its good but nothing compared to the hs80 mic. Razer also has a further wireless range. I doubt it would ever break, though I do expect people to be at least a bit careful with an item that costs 150+ if you get me, you're not gonna throw around such an expensive headset.
