The HS80 has the cleanest sounding mic I’ve heard on any headset just Imagine the hs80 with the XTs aesthetic, build, and features at the $150-200 price point. 🤯
100% agree. I love the clean, natural sound of the hs80 mic. I can add noise gate and eq if I want, but it's nice to start with a neutral and natural sound. Baffles me that people think the virtuoso's mic sounds better.
mic on the old virtuoso actually far better than the SE and XT variant, if not the same with HS80, trust me.
Am I going crazy with all this research into premium gaming headsets or does the XT’s sound ever so slightly sound more like a pilot style type sound when compared to the HS80? Had I never of heard what the HS80’s sounded like I probably would never have thought that about the XT. But when they are directly compared I can’t help but think the 80’s are just that bit better. This is so frustrating because the XT’s have all the features I want 😢
@@James-fv1cm Go with whats comfortable, if you have big ears than you may not like the hs80. I've heard the XT can have a tight squeeze for those that have bigger heads. Personally the HS80s are some of the most comfy headphones I've ever worn, the XTs padding wasn't the best and it felt like the pleather was going to break apart.
@@cylerner hi mate, I went for the XT’s with new ear cups from wicked 😀
this is exactly what i wanted to see after i saw your first review of the hs80s. Awesome content Techne!!
As a virtuoso user, I vote for HS80 even if I never got a chance to try them. Virtuoso are squeezing my head and ears like nut cracker and at the same time putting so much pressure on top my head. They really look good though…when they are sitting on the headphone stand.
I have the hs80 and it is really is that comfortable. You can easily wear it for 6 hours straight without the need to adjust the headset on your head. The best thing is that i got for less than 90 bucks on black friday
Do you have the normal virtuoso's or the xt?
Do you have the SE or XT?
Seriously I 100% agree with this, they looked so good but wearing them was torture and mine broke because of the pressure on the joint connected to the headband. Glad they changed the design to a wider and more solid joints.
I think you are talking about the SE
Yep, the HS80's mic is so godlike!
OWNING!!!!! hs80
Hope they make a premium version of the HS80 with Bluetooth and an amp. Dream headphones.
They did
The best thing about the virtuoso is the connectivity features. I got it because I can easily listen to 2 sources at the same time. The sound quality is not the greatest but is still not bad. If they would make a headset with the design of the hs80 or the void, with the multi connection features of the virtuoso xt and bump the sounfmd quality up just a bit they would have an absolute winner!
We NEED a comparing to the Corsair HS80 vs g pro wireless✔
I had the HS80 until recently and I was really impressed by the sound, microphone and, above all, the wearing comfort. But....the battery life made me buy another wireless headset. My HS80 lasted a maximum of half a day (8 hours). And with the RGB lighting switched off. I was so annoyed that at some point I always left the charging cable connected. I then switched from Windows 10 to 11 and guess what In Windows 11 it totaly didnt work for me at all. I had done everything to get this thing to work but no chance. Now I own the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro and am super happy with it. Top sound, microphone with sonar also set well and the battery life is a dream!
yo bro i have nova pro but think to try hs80.. in bass sound and clear soundstage which one is better?
Take the hs80 build and add the better quality/features of the xt and you have the best in the market hands down nothing else would compete. They need to make that happen.
xt is a novelty all round headset while the hs80 is gaming strictly and also tries to compete at its price point, which it seems to be doing quite well
Don't need fancy metal features just want great sound and mic! Nice review thanks!
Managed to order a used Virtuoso in excellent condition from Amazon in Italy for 125 Euro and will receive it this Tuesday. I'm looking forward to it
Ear cups on the virtuoso are not hard to replace. I actually ordered some from ebay for like $8 to replace the default ones when I first bought the headset. The new ones have more depth and better breathability.
hey mate can you link me where you can get new earpads
A HS80 with bluetooth would be amazing! They already have the HS70 Bluetooth, so an upgrade to that model to the current line up would be fantastic as well, for example having the same exact HS65 surround headset but with bluetooth, that would be an immediate purchase for me right now. I would use them for gaming via cable and for work calls I would use the bluetooth. Make it happen Corsair please 😍😍
The HS80 is wireless. Did you see a wire in the video while he was doing the Mic-test?
@@leftichr.4031 it doesn’t have Bluetooth, only the 2.4 GHz dongle. Didn’t you see the specs or did I mention that they were not wireless?
@@leoneldb60 but they have wired and wireless option right?
7 months after getting the HS80's what can I say they sound amazing so much so I would put them up against Sennheiser and EPOS headphones in terms of sound qulity but in terms of comfort I would have to give them 1 out of 5 stars, I do have are larger then normal head and I feel that's why I find these headphones so uncomfortable the lack of adjustment I'm normally used to with other headphones work great for me but since I do have a large head the bungee system doesn't work for me so that's something to consider if you are looking at getting these and you do have are large head hope this helps anyone thats looking into getting these headphones.
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.
If the HS80 gets bluetooth it would be a beast
Yes 😅
I have been stuck on this decision for a while and this video helped ALOT, covered all the points i wanted and beyond, getting the hs80!
Few notes from me on the HS80. Take wired. Sounds quite a lot better. Use the USB dongle. Makes massive difference. And...
If you've got a even SLIGHTLY bigger than medium head. It won't fit at all. Made for tiny heads.
watching this three years later eyeing the HS80 MAX which *does* have bluetooth now, haha. this is a really helpful review, made the choice easy for me! i need that comfortable wear-high level sound quality is pointless when i won't wear them because they're uncomfortable, which is the issue i have with my audiotechnica headphones......🙃 i have a wired kraken headset now and it's SO COMFY but i'm looking to see if i can get comfy + wireless + good mic and it seems the HS80 is a winner all around!
Definitely hs80 are one of the best headset going around s hands down !!!!
Thanks for the review! Love how HS80 mic sounds, so clean and natural voice!!👏🏻👏🏻 I have got decided 👍🏻
THANK YOU FOR USING SIEGE AS A REFERENCE, as the primary game i play and what i base the sounds from a headset off of ive been on the ropes for weather i should upgrade my hs70 pro surround to the hs80
Man... What a wonderful description of the difference in the sound depending on the material of the cushions...
good review, i got the hs80s as a replacement for the hyperx cloud s alphas and it is a night and day difference. comfort, sound, quality, ease of use, microphone, its all very good.
I´m happy to read just this since I currently have the HyperX and I´m going today to buy HS80....looking forward to the diffrence! :)
@@Womtek1 so did you liked it?
Just bought the Virtuoso today after using the HS80 wireless for 6 months now.. I’m seeing if it has better audio or not. The HS80 has a fantastic mic! Amazing for streaming too. I hope the Virtuoso is better sound quality wise…
Hey bud! Just checking if which do you think is better after using both?
@@alaricjedi hands down the HS80 are better.
@@IxReexyxI great to hear! Im looking to getting the HS80 tomorrow too. I appreciate the response. Thank you!
Hey, I've been using the Virtuoso SE for 2 years and I actually want to switch to the HS80 wireless because it seems much more comfortable, but do you know if the HS80 can be put away it the Virtuoso storage pouch ? It would be very nice to carry it
Just an update, but I bought both and you are accurate that the HS80 is more comfortable. The XT didn't seal around my ears as well, and it also felt like it was sitting on my head. Man, I really hope Corsair updates the HS80 to be their next flagship design. I wouldn't mind a better positional mic, and of course bluetooth would be awesome.
I thought hs80 was Bluetooth
@@jcap8391 no. just wireless via dongle
@@stelonous Any other downsides?
@@jcap8391 sometimes if I have a game on and a YT video it can get a touch staticy. That's about it. The mic could have a better arm but it works and the mic itself is really good.
What would you prefer ?
Only thing stopping me from purchasing anything corsair for ps4/ps5 is lack of eq console support, especially considering how much everyone says the sound improves on these when u dabble on those eqs
Just as a tip: If the voice prompts are to loud you can turn down the volume in the windows soud mixer :)
Thank God for that. I dont want my headphones talking to me.
HS80 all day long, been using logi pro wireless, blackshark v2, jbl quantum, audeze penrose and 3 steelseries and HS80 is my favorite
I've had the Virtuoso RGB SE and my head starts to hurt after 30mins of having them on. Currently looking at bying the HS80 instead. Great review, just felt like giving my input after using the Virtuoso for a year now.
Good to know that they sound more or less the same. I returned my Virtuoso because I thought they sounded terrible in addition to being extremely uncomfortable.
I’m tempted to go to the HS80 wireless because of its microphone alone. It sounds better than the Arctis Nova Pros since SteelSeries tends to sound more nasily. Just hope the sound is good on console
@necondaa wait so you telling my the hs80 sound better than the Arctic’s nova pro wireless the 300 dollars headset ???👀
Ty for this, returning my XTs tomorrow for the sole reason of the way it feels "sitting" on my head, which I thought was an excellent description on your part. Came from steel series and that headband is what i want. Will be buying the HS80s instead, your review is what I needed.
Should i get the hs80 or steelseries artics 9?
Exactly, my virtuosos just dont feel the same coming from the arctis. It feels super premium and all but they give me head pain after long gaming sessions.
Wanted to follow up and say this was 100% the right call, and your review helped me. HS80s are friggin great and i dont "need" the bluetooth.
@@blum2984 They're both good, HS80 is inspired from SteelSeries, but Arctis 9 has BT but is $50 more. If you don't care for it, then get the HS80 (with the better mic)
There’s reports that the battery life of the HS80 is about 8-hours, and not the advertised 20. Also, reports say it takes 3-hours to charge. The mic, although clear and natural sounding is very flimsy. Reports of people saying the EQ presets are awful minus Pure Direct, which is recommended you leave it on.
currently rocking the hs60 haptic, torn between these 2 for my next upgrade, thanks for making this easy. will go for the hs80!
why couldn't Corsair go back to that mic they had on the original Virtuoso (non-SE)? That was the best mic of all three.
I got the Corsair Virtuoso XT and the Roccat Kone Pro Air based on your recommendations. No regrets... I love the combo here. Thanks a lot for your videos. More power to your channel.
How is virtuoso for comfort? I heard the clamping force is too high
@@taimooraleem From what i heard is that the virtuoso and virtoso se (not sure, the 2nd one i believe) have a high clamping force and are uncomfortable, from the xe i heard that they improved it and that they arent clamping anymore
@@Siimon0803 I ended up buying Logitech G935 lol. Thanks tho
This is such a hard choice. I think HS80 slightly edges virtuoso. Some of the things come down to preference. But if they basically sound the same, and the mic sounds better on HS80 & hs80 is more comfortable, the only downside is the lack of Bluetooth connection. Which you can actually rig up a solution for that. Buy a Bluetooth aux adapter and zip tie it to the head strap or something. So your phone wirelessly connects to the Bluetooth receiver which then plugs into the headset via aux cable. You’ll potentially experience a slight audio delay more so than you might with a dedicated Bluetooth receiver built in, but for music & phone calls that doesn’t affect anything. Just videos and mobile gaming maybe
wow, I was waiting for you to switch to the HS80 mic and when you switched to the virtuoso I realized we were hearing the HS80 all along. amazing mic quality!
HS80 looks better imo, but that non-detachable mic is the deal breaker for me.
Great review! Wow where have this man been? How did I not see this channel sooner?! C’mon TH-cam! Recommend some more channels like THIS!
Please review the Lucidsound Ls50x!!!!! Youre literally missing out on the best headset experience EVER! Youre so keen on trying to find the best but until you try these your not gonna hear or feel the best!!! Please review them, YOU WILL LOVE THEM!
Cap
but isn't that mostly for XBOX? It has bluetooth for PC, but I would want lagless for PC not XBOX.
@@stelonous you can buy a dongle for pc
Aloha from Hawaii! I was LITERALLY about to buy the XTs but much Mahalos for the HS80s review. I know exactly what I'm gonna get now
HS80 is on sale right now for $119 Black Friday, in my opinion it’s the better headset unless you just have money to blow on the XT, HS80 versus the regular Virtuoso HS80 is a better value.
Really wish the HS80 had a detachable microphone. The HS70 Pro has one, why can't the "successor" do it too? Seems like an oversight
Got the HS80 and am returning it to Amazon and getting the XT. I don't have a big head but the HS80 head strap fully extended offers no comfort benefit. Actually hurts and the headset itself seems to want to squeeze my head like a lemon. One other thing, the mike feels cheaply made and every time I put the HS80 on or take it off, I feel like I'm about to break the mike off. Wish it could have been hidden in the headset. At least with the XT I will be able to remove it completely.
I'm currently having the same comfortability issue with the HS80's headband being pretty uncomfortable. Have you gotten and tried out the XT's and if so are they much more comfortable cus I'm thinking of returning the HS80's?
Keep it up man ! Been holding off on getting a wireless headset as I couldn’t make my mind up on steel series or astros .. then all of a sudden these drop and it looks like steel series & astros had a baby !
Which one did you get??
@@LoLo-vh2hn I ordered the HS80 got them yesterday and they are amazing! I’m still new to EQ settings so I’m playing around with that but overall they are super comfortable, everyone says I’m really clear on chat and battery life has been good but I do have rgb off
@@tellis17 thanks man I’m really on the fence about grabbing the steel series pro or these?? I need a good mic and sound for competitive play and streaming
@@LoLo-vh2hn I went to best buy and tried on the steel series never actually owned them and both are very comfortable. But Seeing the mic reviews I was not impressed with steel series mic and when I heard the HS80 I was pretty much sold. So far everyone I talk with says I sound great , so I’m definitely happy with them 👌🏻👍🏻
Update after month use absolutely love this headset !
i just bought hs80 bcos your video haha,thank you its really nice
Before any comparison, one thing the HS80 does right and the Virtuoso does wrong is the ear pad material. Fabric is much better than synthetic leather for comfort and durability.
The whole design of the ear cups is better on the hs80. Better shape, better padding.
dude i have these HS80 this long and ddint know how to adjust them your the man .....
I got the hs80's and I can say they are the best headset I've ever bought they beat the razor blackshark vs pro and the corsair void pro
The Virtuoso gave me a horrible head pinch right at the top of my scalp after about 30 minutes.
Hope the HS80’s sit much better.
Sound and mike on Virtuoso was exceptional!
The HS80 might have the slight edge over the Virtuoso with the Mic but the VIRTUOSOS are so beautiful.
The white HS80s vs the white Virtuoso is a very close comparison
I've had my HS80s for about 4 months now and they're already starting to clip out sound every few seconds. About to toss them.
Best channel for gaming headsets reviews.
thank you so much
I like the shape of the void, but the sound of the virtioso. yes I know the void is not in here, but those are my two favorites from corsair.
I've just got the Virtuoso and as I was using Corsair Voids Pro wireless for quite some time, no other headphones could accommodate my ears. Jump on the Virtuoso after I heard the clear microphone sound in some reviews. Sadly these , like any other headphones I've tried as were pressing the inner plastic on the ear, after 4hous it becomes less than bearable. In hope bigger pads would improve the situation I've ordered some, but than after few more hours I realized how painfully they are sitting on the top of my head (why would corsair put foam on both sides instead all of it at the side that has contact with your head). If you have protruding ears even just a tiny bit, Virtuosos will absolutely not be comfortable and the pressure on top of the head during longer gaming session will become unbearable... I will be getting HS80.
I got the Virtuoso and its perfect. no issues for my taste.
hs80 mic will also light red and give a feedback tone if you are out of range.
HS80 is the solid win between these two headsets. Not because of the price difference, not because of comfort difference and not because of Dolby Atmos ready. HS80 is the winner because you can use them wired instead of wireless.
When using the HS80 wired, you get to experience true High Fidelity 24bit/96Khz audio sound.
Virtuoso is much better quality sound using the cables as well. Too much compression while wireless.
Wdym the virtuoso goes wired aswell? And has more ways to go wired actuslly
Aluminium isn't that heavy compared to plastic. I think that the extra weight on the virtuoso is from the cushion on top of the headset
I just now right this second bought the hs80 and will arrive in the next couple of hours 😊
I rather wear a smart watch of preference to be able to pick up calls, save $100 and get the HS80. So much complaints about the head pressure that I'm not even sure if the bluetooth is something to consider right now.
I'm getting the HS80 cause it's cheaper than the Virtuoso in my country.
Thank you!
HS80 is the closest to the what I would say the best headset I've ever used . I love it and if you are choosing . Just buy it holmes. You wont regret it . If you get it on sale even better.
Isn't your mic volume too low when on Discord or Teamspeak? Alot of complains about that... :(
@@attax4063 No issues . There's a mic boost in icue for that. Tbh my complaints would be the advertised battery life. Straight 🧢 But I plug in for the best sound anyways
Thanks for this bud🤝
Great comparison review brother. 😎👍🤙
i have the Virtouso and don't get all hate its very comfortable provided your head isnt humungous
Love the video just like usual but I want the funny sub-sections back, please. :) Thanks. Love the detailed comparision.
Sub sections?
I just don't understand how Corsair got the comfort on the Virtuoso so wrong. If they had the HS80's comfort it'd be an absolutely glorious headset.
Flip up mute mic is a huge seller for me. Logitech mostly has it, so been stuck with them and that stupid gHub. I love Corsair, my keyboard is a K70 - best ever! So eyeing that HS80 now :P
This is exactly what I wanted to see!
Great review loving the virtuosos.but now I want the hs80 also probably will buy them later. The wife my kill me for buying another headset 😂
I tested both of them and for pure gaming te hs 80 tackes the win. The virtuoso are good if you want a multifunctional headset, for pc and phone or waht ever you are going use with them.
First I buyed the Virtuoso headset, but after using it for a cupple of hours, I returned it to the Store and buy the HS80 RGB Wireless, because the Virtuoso was a pain at the top of my head!
The only thing that I miss from the virtuoso is the bluetooth conection
which is the better of the two headphones for the dolby amtos ?? or are they more less equal
@@mizar8649 Equal
@@mizar8649 HS80
Really Solid Review, I Wish The XT had the mic of the HS80 tho or if the hs80 had bluetooth, i ordered the xt because i gotta have that bluetooth
Great vid! would love to see them compared to the black shark v2 pro since they are in the same price range more or less. Both look comfy and THX Spatial Audio vs Dolby
I would love the black shark v2 but razors track record is holding me back.
@@johnnylong2049 One of the greatest headset i have mic is great sound quality is amazing in games but for music its not great
Bought the v2 pro wireless, returned it real quick, mic sounded borderline walkie talkie, the frequency could only go up like half the amount the virtuoso could. Which is sad because the blackshark felt so much nicer to wear and provided so much better sound
I think comparing headsets in the same price range, such as blackshark v2 Pro, corsair se and cloud flight s would make more sense.
soon ;)
i bought 2 of virtuoso rgb se (black metal) and 1 hs80 wireless (black).
i love both of it but somehow the hs80 after install icue/corsair driver, it reduce the mic volume volume to -6 db, so i had to tweak with 3rd app, EqualizerAPO. By change the value Preamp: from -6 dB to 11
now its louder and better. i tried already with icue mic boost +10 dB but result is still same, which is slow/low mic.
When I hear him say he plays R6 that’s all I needed to hear 😌🙌🏼
I already ordered and paid for a pair of HS80s based on another of your comparison videos, but now I wish I'd bought the Virtuosos, which I didnt know existed. Why would they sell headphones that people around you can hear? If I wanted that I would pump the stereo. Can I get different muff attachments for my HS80s?
If HS80 has a Bluetooth I could go for it 100%.. The XT is heavy and squeeze my head.
Good Lord, are you sure you recorded the Mic test with the HS80? I Thought when is he switching the Mic to the Headset 😂
I bought the HS80 for 99 €
Besides some problems on discord when I plug the usb-c in/out I like those so far .
I'm really enjoying them with the EQ boost when playing R6 Siege but battery seems to run low quick after a couple rounds with my boys
Sorry but tried the HS80 and they where way too small for me, and I dont even have a big head. I had to loose the band all the way, meaning that there were no floating feel at all. The clamping force was also way too much , so no comfi for me…Really a shame since they look amazing and the quality feels amazing
if i could remote the mic as well it would have been an instant buy for me
Great review~

I thought you were introducing the mic, not using it ...
With my soundbar I didn't hear a difference between your mic and the HS80 mic
Techne I like your videos. However you should extensively test the battery life. Another reviewer today said that out of the 20h announced , he only got 8 hours and it takes 3 hours to recharge.
we need vs the steelseries I'm considering selling mine these look amazing :)
It beats the steel series arctis line.I have the pro wireless and the virtuoso I can tell you right now the sound is so much more clear and detailed and the bass is really great. so the hs80 sounds almost the same just a little different because of cloth ear cups. Also use Dolby atmos for shooters
@@myfavorites217 wow ok thanks! What about comfort wise you say? I have pretty small pea head ;)
@@raeesahmed5213 I would get the hs80
@@raeesahmed5213 I’m a headset freak I have Astro a50s,a40s ,Steelseries Arctis 7, pro wireless was my main then I bought the virtuoso and loved them but hated the ear cups so I changed them. Every headset you think to ask about I have had and sent back besides the ones I listed above I kept. I gave my son my arctis 7s and I still use my pro wireless for Bluetooth
@@myfavorites217 wow ok kinda like me in a sense 😅 I’ll take that advice and get the Corsair I think
I want a white one lol so virtuoso rgb white will be my choice. I wish it had Bluetooth.
But both of them are much better then the Void rgb elite headset that corsair made.
Got the Virtuoso today, and they're the most uncomfortable headphones I've ever had. I will return them tomorrow actually.
got a XE yesterday for £88, you can replace the ear pads for more comfort. They feel good to me.
@@dampy2006 yeah, i didn't wanna take the chance, so i went with the Steelseries acrtis 9 which was £50 less, and comfortwise they are better for me.
@@lakapaka5151 glad to hear mate
Call me crazy but I think the HS80’s mic quality is slightly better than the virtuoso XT. And this is driving me mental because I want all the Bluetooth features that the XT offers but with the same mic quality as the HS80’s. I know they are extremely similar but I just feel that the HS80 have even more detail and Clarity with the mic
same here. hs80 has a clearer mic but xt has bt
@@MillenniumVT_Official so I bought the XT and it’s definitely faulty. Whenever I turn it on for the first time regardless of wether I’m using the wireless adapter, USB cable or jack lead after 10 minutes or so it will turn itself off and I have to toggle the volume button to switch it back on. This sounds minor but when you are in game and the sound just randomly cuts off it’s so shit 😂
@@MillenniumVT_Official I’m actually thinking about buying the Sony inzone h9 or whatever it’s called (the latest one) but the mic quality is hilariously bad 😂
@@James-fv1cm oh mannn that sounds awful
I wanna buy a wireless headset, was going to go with arctis 9 but now im not sure. The hs80 mic was shockingly good, still probably gonna go with arctis but i'll wait for the comparison video lol
Blackshark v2 pro is my #1
Arctis sound sucks lol
Was pleased with your previous virtuoso review, but now i think its time to sell my hs70 and get hs80. Excellent work. Greetings from Argentina.
Nice video. Does the HS offer high bit rate with USB mode and Dolby Atmos like the Virtuoso?
So what you’re saying is I made the wrong purchase (I have the virtuoso) :(
just saying but if you take the hs80 max you can have bluetoots to
XT is premium media headphone design HS80 is premium gaming headphone design. Depends what what you need but the XT is a jack of all trades but a master of none. HS80 masters gaming but nothing else. Can get 10% off the HS80 at the minute making it $120.
How do you get discount? Don’t get it.
There is no reason why the virtuoso don't have both types of ear cups at that price.
