Too many wireless headsets compromise on microphone quality — Corsair's HS80 Max is the exception, and Black Friday makes it a smarter buy
A-grade quality audio, comfy ear cushions, long-lasting battery life, and more advanced features make this gaming headset an instant win.
We're just a little over a week from Black Friday, but retailers are already pulling out all the stops to offer the best discounts on the most-wanted gaming accessories.
Such is the case with Newegg, which is hosting a grand 37% discount on the Corsair HS80 Max Wireless Gaming headset, now available for $119.99.
Additionally, Newegg has a limited-time promo code that will drop its price even further to $109.99 if you use BFE882 during checkout.
The Corsair HS80 Max is a versatile wireless gaming headset built with superb earphone sound and mic quality, 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connectivity, and a monstrous battery life of 60 hours.
Why buy the Corsair HS80 MAX?
Our Corsair HS80 Max review shows that it's packed to the circuits with many amazing qualities and advanced tech that make it one of the best PC gaming headsets around.
It's built with a sturdy yet lightweight aluminum frame equipped with a floating headband and memory foam ear cushions. These make these headsets comfortable to wear and durable to last for many years of use.
It's also outfitted with 50mm neodymium drivers with 119dB sensitivity, 32k Ohms @ 1kHz Impedance, and a frequency response between 20Hz to 40kHz. Plus, it has an omnidirectional microphone with NVIDIA Broadcast integration and a frequency response between 100Hz - 10kHz.
In layman's terms, this headset will greatly enhance the audio design of games, and its microphone will convey your voice online with high clarity with zero distortion.
With this, you will be able to hear the sounds of enemies attempting to ambush you more easily and communicate with your teammates to help you win battles in competitive multiplayer games like Arc Raiders, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, or Battlefield 6.
Other beneficial features include versatile connectivity with either wireless 2.4GHz or Bluetooth, a SoundID equalizer that can be tweaked to your liking, and RGB lighting to make it visually more appealing.
The Corsair HS80 Max's greatest strength, however, is its gargantuan battery life. It can last up to 22 hours with RGB enabled and up to 60 hours with RGB turned off. What's more is that it has fast-charging, so you can get 6 hours of battery life back from just 15 minutes of recharging alone.
So, if you want a high-quality PC gaming headset that will last you half a week before needing to recharge, then the Corsair HS80 Max is one we easily recommend, especially now that it's off for $119.99 at Newegg instead of its usual MSRP of $189.99.
Don't forget to use Newegg's "BFE882" promo code during checkout to shave an extra $10 off your purchase.
The Corsair HS80 Max is a versatile wireless gaming headset built with superb earphone sound and mic quality, 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connectivity, and a monstrous battery life of 60 hours.
FAQ
Can the Corsair HS80 Max be used wired?
No. It is purely a wireless gaming headphone that connects to devices via Bluetooth or a USB dongle. The Corsair HS80 Max does have a USB-C port, but it's only for connecting chargers to recharge its battery, not for audio connections.
What happens if the Corsair HS80 Max keeps disconnecting suddenly from the USB dongle?
Open up the Corsair iCUE software and check to see if the headphones and their USB dongle are up to date with the latest firmware. If that doesn't work, you may need to perform a clean reinstall of the drivers to force a re-pairing between the two devices.
What devices is it compatible with?
The Corsair HS80 Max is compatible with PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and mobile devices.
Are there alternative discounts for this?
The Corsair HS80 Max is also on sale at Amazon for $139.99 and Best Buy for $119.99.
