The Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless is a mid-price option for players already using Corsair gear. Corsair's US page lists 50mm neodymium drivers with a 20Hz to 40,000Hz frequency range, 24-bit 96kHz audio over a USB cable and 24-bit 48kHz over wireless, with Dolby Atmos support. Wireless range is up to 60 ft, and one USB receiver can link up to three SLIPSTREAM devices such as a mouse and keyboard. The broadcast-grade omnidirectional mic flips up to mute and has an LED indicator, with a published frequency response of 100Hz to 10kHz; it does not detach. Compatibility covers PC, Mac and PlayStation 4 and 5. It was $159.99 on the check date. The weak points are battery life, rated up to 20 hours, the shortest published figure here, and the lack of Xbox or Bluetooth support. We compared documented features and published prices only.
