Corsair launched thepreviously-reviewed H80 Wirelessgaming headset over two years ago, and it became a best-seller for the brand.
Corsair is also rolling out fast charging with this model, which was missing on the regular HS80.
It comes with Corsair’s standard two-year warranty.
The Bluetooth pairing button sits on the right, and again, it’s easily accessible.
Both buttons and the volume rocker are textured, and that makes them easier to use.
When you better charge the headset, there’s a USB-C port on the left.
And because this is a Corsair product, you get RGB lighting obviously.
Other than that, the HS80 Max ticks all the right boxes in this area.
There’s a decent amount of customizability via the software as well.
If you don’t want to mess with the EQ manually, this is a good alternative.
Battery life is one area where Corsair really turned things around.
You get some harshness with the treble, but that isn’t a huge factor when playing games.
