What's New in Xbox Headsets

Xbox players, you’re in for a treat. CORSAIR’s got 2 new wireless headsets built for Microsoft mains to get their audio immersion on. Get to know the new VOID v2 MAX Wireless Headset for Xbox and HS80 MAX Wireless Headset for Xbox. We’ll breakdown the benefits of each so you can decide which headset to crown yourself with before you start snatching crowns in game.

Let’s meet the HS80 MAX first. The HS80 MAX Premium Wireless Gaming Headset for Xbox features a floating headset design, with plush memory foam ear cushions swathed in fabric so you’ll enjoy comfort with added breathability.

It features simultaneous 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth® connectivity that allows you to listen to multiple audio sources simultaneously, or seamlessly switch between your multi-device connections. This is useful for situations where you want to be focused on your gaming, but you’re also possibly waiting for a text or an alert from your phone you definitely do not want to miss. Master your multitasking!

Speaking of staying flexible and versatile, the HS80 MAX for Xbox is Designed for Xbox, but it works with so much more. You can enjoy the benefits of precisely-tuned 50mm neodymium drivers and high-fidelity 24bit/96kHz sound whether you’re connecting to PC, Mac, PlayStation, and more. In fact, PlayStation players can even utilize Tempest 3D Audio while gaming on PS5.

Whatever device you’re connecting to, HS80’s omni-directional microphone delivers crystal-clear communication with its exceptional dynamic range. If you’re on PC, you’ll also have access to NVIDIA Broadcast technology* which can help eliminate unwanted background noise.

With 65 hours** of wireless battery life, the HS80 MAX can keep your audio entertainment going for days before needing to recharge. Use the same headset for squadding up, conference calls, listening to audiobooks during your commute, or getting caught up on your anime backlog on a long flight. Convenient on-earcup controls are there to help you mute audio, adjust volume, control media playback, and manage audio sources. If your headset’s running on fumes, HS80’s got the power of quick charging. 15 minutes of charging with the USB-C cable can get you an additional 6 hours of audio.

On top of all that, the HS80 MAX also gives you Dolby Atmos® spatial audio which generates a 3-D soundscape that places audio all around you. It basically turns a 2-D audio landscape into an into an Atmos sphere. Blend your Audio Worlds with the new HS80 MAX Premium Wireless Gaming Headset for Xbox.

How do you maximize a VOID? We’ll show you how. Like the HS80 MAX, you’ll enjoy cushy memory foam wrapped in breathable fabric so you get cool, comfortable, all-day gaming. However, the VOID v2 MAX WIRELESS doesn’t have the HS80 MAX’s floating headband design, something that comes in clutch if you like to game while wearing a hat.

Simultaneous 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth® connectivity is also a key feature for the VOID v2 MAX for Xbox. Supplement in-game audio with your own hype soundtrack, or game while keeping tabs on the big game at the same time. If you need to maintain maximum focus on one source or the other, you can seamlessly swap between them, as well.

The VOID v2 MAX is also compatible with Xbox, PC, PlayStation, Mac, and more with custom-tuned 50mm drivers delivering exceptional audio with amazing detail and clarity no matter what your audio source is. You’ll also get the previously-discussed benefits of Dolby Atmos® Spatial Audio with the VOID v2 MAX, as well.

The VOID v2 MAX slightly outlasts the HS80 MAX with its massive 70 hours*** of long-lasting battery life. Both are enough for days of continuous gaming, more than enough for even the longest marathon gaming sessions. VOID v2 MAX also shares the quick charging capabilities, with 15 minutes of charge getting you 6 more hours, as well.

NVIDIA Broadcast® technology* is available on this headset to reduce unwanted background noise and help you keep your team on point with the clearest callouts. Intuitive on-ear controls let you quickly mute, adjust volume, manage media playback, and control audio sources.

When you compare feature sets and specs, there’s a lot to like about both of these Xbox headsets. A lot of which you prefer is going to come down to personal preferences. Do you need the extra battery life that you get from the VOID v2 MAX, or are you a fan of the HS80 MAX’s floating headband? It might be worth heading to a display set up to try them both on for yourself to see which you prefer as your daily driver.

Whichever of the two headsets you choose, you’re guaranteed to get an amazingly versatile headset with great audio quality, wide multiplatform compatibility, NVIDIA Broadcast® technology, Dolby Atmos® Spatial Audio, and comfortable, breathable cushioning. Who’s the real winner? You, of course!
