The Corsair HS80 Max has almost everything you could want in a gaming headset for an enjoyable gaming session -- clear high-resolution audio, a comfortable and stylish design, and good cross-platform compatibility.
Different markets. Basically because they don’t have a mic and headset sound can be good enough.
Attaching a modmic is extra $, further increasing cost. AT has ‘gaming’ headsets with a mic attached, but it’s a mediocre mic and it’s $170 so at that point they’re direct competitors.
The frequency response of many gaming headsets past $150 is fixable with EQ presets, bringing their sound much closer to the non-gaming brands.
Multi-mode support can be very useful. Taking calls on your headset with bluetooth while on a wifi headset while also still being connected to your PC is not something an audiophile headset cares about.
It’s easier to get a wifi gaming headset than the same listening headset.
If you don’t need a mic ofc this all goes out the window. Buy a ‘real’ headset and you’d be much happier.
This thread is filled with audiophiles who are trying to be snobby about a product that geniunely has fuckall to do with them lmao. It’s kinda funny.
“omg why dont you just buy a seperate $113 mic you can slap on your audiophile headset??” bro that sounds janky as shit and not at all a cost saving idea lmfao
