It's a headset, audio quality isn't the priority here. As long as it's good enough and comfortable it does the job.

Real comments from Reddit, linked to the original thread. Nothing paraphrased.
I told him they ain't good for audio, but he said they sound good, and I can't argue against that
Comparison
The HS80 does all that for $150 lol. Sure it’s not as good, but I doubt many people care.
Comparison
Corsair has the best audio and mic quality on a 2.4ghz wireless connection at the price point of the HS80 Wireless and HS80 Max from what I've experienced.

No, I've been using mine for about 2yrs and absolutely love them. They have the best mic of just about any wireless headset hands-down (just go watch [Hardware Canuck's review](https://youtu.be/78LDxGXduQw) and see) and they sound great with a better implementation of VSS than most other headsets, plus they come with a free Dolby Atmos code. My only complaints is that the battery life isn't great, I get about 14hrs with the RGB off (who needs RGB that they can't see aside from streamers anyway) and the signal isn't stellar. That being said, I'm able to walk to my bathroom 15ft away thru several walls and still hear them so Idk why anyone would need more than that. Wireless headsets are meant to be used in the same room as a TV/PC and they will excel at that, for sure. Comfort is also good, and I have a decent sized noggin. There are aftermarket earpads that are easily replaceable too, if you want a different fit. In the 2yrs I've had em, I've never had a dead headset bcuz I charge em every night. So, I really don't have any complaints, they're just nitpicks, as they're easily avoidable. They're also only $99 on Amazon right now and that's an absolute steal in my book.

Have the opportunity to try out both, HS80 fits my personal aesthetic, and also really like the way it feels on my head.

I'll probably get downvoted but i bought this heaset because i was looking for something with a good mic and the buildquality is great, feels very premium, never had any issues with disconnects or anything
Praise
Maybe I had bad luck and got a defective unit but honestly, after this experience, I would get logitech headphones or the HS80 model.
Comparison
however when comparing (regardless to price) HS80 seem better of course. but it's not Discord certified compared to VOID version.

The HS80's are terrible from the VOIDS. The side tone doesn't work and I have to crack the Volume up to 100% just to hear anyone in discord to top that off the heads are so small they are killing my head how much they put pressure on the ears I rather get another pair of Voids they work so much better.
Complaint
This is the best thing i ever had. ... HS80 is amazing at every aspect, the only thing i would like to change with it is detachable microphone. They are realy comfortable, i sometimes forget that i wear them. ... Sound quality: its realy good, included Dolby Atmos change alot. Also it has one of the best microphones on the market.

Hey, bit late to the party, but here are the settings I use in the iCue app with no other third party software added. I feel like it might help out some beginners like myself get more out of their headphones, seems good for games, voices, and music to me.

I have no experience with other headsets but I've been using my hs80 for about 4 years now and it is still holding up. Battery life is dwindling so I have to hook it up to some power source during my 12/24hour endurance races but the comfort and communication is sublime 👌

Yo, i followed your advice and it sounds SOOOO MUCH BETTER! the dafault EQ settings were awful. Thank you so much

✅ What Works
- Microphone quality is the standout, repeatedly described as class-leading among wireless headsets — one four-year owner still rates the comms "sublime" (Microphone Quality, 4 mentions).
- Sound quality satisfies gamers even when they aren't chasing audiophile performance; multiple owners note it "sounds good" and holds up in blind comparisons (Sound Quality, 3 mentions).
- Comfort and fit get consistent approval across long sessions, including from an owner with a larger head shape, with aftermarket earpads available for further tuning (Comfort and Fit, 2 mentions).
- Value stands out at its price point — one owner walks through a $400 alternative setup (headphone, mic, boom arm) the HS80 replaces for roughly a third of the cost.
⚠️ Worth Knowing
- Battery life draws a specific complaint: one long-term owner reports it "isn't great," settling around 14 hours with RGB off rather than the rated maximum.
- Wireless signal strength isn't described as stellar by at least one owner, though it still held up through several walls in their testing.
- One owner received what they believe was a defective unit and, after that experience, said they'd consider Logitech or the newer HS80 model instead — a build-quality outlier worth weighing against the broader positive consensus.
- A few owners are candid that audio quality isn't the HS80's main strength — it's judged "good enough" alongside comfort rather than best-in-class sound.
ClearPick Verdict
**Owners overwhelmingly report the HS80 delivers more than a gaming headset should at this price**, with twelve of fourteen tracked mentions positive and only one clearly negative. The microphone comes up most often and most favorably — one long-time owner calls it "the best mic of just about any wireless headset hands-down" after two years of daily use — while sound quality draws repeated praise even from listeners who admit audio fidelity wasn't their priority. Durability holds up well too, with one owner reporting four years of regular use, though a couple of reports flag fading battery life and a signal that isn't "stellar" at longer range. The lone negative account describes a defective unit prompting the owner to consider switching brands, a reminder that quality control isn't flawless. **Anyone wanting strong mic performance and comfortable all-day wear at a mid-range price should shortlist it; those chasing audiophile-grade sound or needing rock-solid long-range wireless should look elsewhere.**
