Pros

• Pretty flexible and comfortable.
• Decent adjustability.
• Great mic.
• Good audio.

Cons

• Rather bland design.
• Grease magnet plastics.
• No adjustable clamp force.
• Ear cups can get warm.

KitGuru says: The HS80 RGB Wireless headset by Corsair is pretty solid, with an overall focus on sound quality. It is pretty comfortable despite moderate pressure from slightly excessive clamp force. We wish it just wish it looked a little more ‘premium'. Corsair also faces stiff competition from its previous HS models, with the HS70 Pro offering similarly excellent audio quality at a discounted price.
