THE HS80 MAX is a headset that doesn’t just lead with its audio quality but has a plethora of tricks up its sleeve. The previous iteration of the HS80 was a great all-rounder and had a rich warm soundstage, a comfortable headband, and a clean aesthetic. The HS80 Max is a revised version of the previous model that aims to further these points.
In terms of its design, it doesn’t stray from the previous look with its almost boxy ear cups, suspended headband, and flip-to-mute mic that has been copied and pasted into this updated version. It comes in either black or white/gray colorways for a slightly muted look. The only shock of color is with the RGB logos and the LED indicator on the end of the mic. The majority of the HS80 Max is made of durable plastic with the headband reinforced with lightweight aluminum. One of the typical weak points of a headset is the yolks attached to the earcups. Thankfully, these are made of aluminum ensuring resistance to a lot of wear and tear.
