Just plug it into your PC and you’re good to go (the process is slightly more involved for PlayStation). Likewise, the USB dongle (for wireless connection) is a surprisingly high-quality piece, even featuring its own light-up Corsair logo. The USB-C charging port is on the bottom of the right cup, and yes, you can keep listening over USB while you charge the battery-always a great feature! The semi-rigid, fabric-wrapped USB cable may constantly bump your shoulder or neck because of the port placement, but I appreciate how durable the charging cable is, so that’s not a hill I’m going to die on complaints-wise. You can also press the wheel to jump through EQ presets (though not when Dolby Atmos or other spatial listening modes are active). On the back of the right cup, you’ll find a button for power and a scroll wheel for volume. The intuitive nature of the flip-up-to-mute, flip-down-to-unmute extends to controlling the headset itself. When flipped up, the microphone mutes and its LED indicator turns red when you flip it down, it activates and lights up white. As an aside, the reviewer’s guide mentions that the mic is detachable, but I was unable to remove it without fear of breaking something. The range of motion on the mic arm is quite generous, and there’s something satisfying about snapping it up into place. When flipped down in its unmuted position the LED changes from red to white, and the microphone activates. The attached microphone is also well made: when folded up in its “mute” position, its firm plastic holds the mic vertically, keeping it out of the way and out of your field of vision. But other than those minor quibbles, Corsair deserves praise for the emphasis on durability and comfort here. In addition, while the material is lovely, it also has a tendency to gather particulates (like cat hair) and hang onto them until you clean the cups off. It's not a huge issue, but can get a bit stuffy.

It may be because I’m used to open-backed headphones, but I found myself noticing heat buildup after around 45 minutes of use. First, the HS80’s design is that the memory foam, cloth-covered cups feel splendid against my temples and ears, but they don’t breathe very well. I only had a few small complaints about the design. The HS80's durable steel construction, memory foam cups, and stabilizing headband help it stay comfortable for hours. Fortunately, the stabilizer-an elastic strap with adjustable velcro tension points mounted on the inside of the headband-does a great job of redistributing the HS80’s weight, making it perfectly palatable over long periods of time. The headband is a mix of high-quality, slightly-yielding plastic and metal, which adds a good deal of weight (the HS80 weighs over 100 grams more than our current favorite wireless headphones, for reference). The materials used to make the HS80 show Corsair’s attention to quality. If you work and game from the same desk, you could end up using the HS80 for 8-12 hours a day. Wire-free, outfitted with a “floating” stabilizer band, and equipped with cloth-padded ear cups, the HS80 is super comfortable-important for any headset, but especially the HS80 since its viable for work meetings and listening to music in addition to gaming. What we like Durable, comfy, and easy to use
