Corsair has announced the HS80 v2 MAX Wireless Gaming Headset, an upgraded version of its HS80 MAX that promises improvements to audio quality, microphone performance, comfort, and battery life. Designed primarily for competitive gaming, the new model features upgraded drivers intended to make quieter in-game audio cues, such as footsteps and weapon reloads, easier to hear amid louder sounds.
The HS80 v2 MAX features new 50mm non-Newtonian laminate drivers designed to reduce residual vibrations in the diaphragm after loud sounds. According to Corsair, this helps quieter audio details remain clearer during intense gameplay, alongside powerful bass, crisp highs, and full-range audio.
PC gamers can further enhance the listening experience with Dolby Atmos spatial audio, which provides three-dimensional positioning for in-game sounds. This feature requires the Dolby Access app and is available on PC only.
