The new HS80 from Corsair combines lessons learned from the Virtuoso series with a brand new industrial design and a competitive price. If you’re looking for a PC-centric wireless gaming headset, it’s a solid choice in a crowded field.

Its new design pays off dramatically in terms of comfort, in spite of its overall bulk. And thanks to Corsair’s Slipstream Wireless technology and a large mic capsule, it has one of the best-sounding voice capture qualities I’ve ever heard on a gaming headset.

While it may not have quite as many connectivity options as a true flagship headset, nor the built-in surround processing or haptic gimmickry of some other Corsair models, nor amazing battery life, it still nails many fundamentals and it’s easily my personal pick as the best out of their whole lineup.

Note: I bought this headset myself at full retail price. I don’t receive any sort of kick back or other incentive if you decide to buy one. I don’t use affiliate links as I don’t believe in the practice. You can read my full reviews policy right here.
