Are there any alternatives?

Priced at $149, there is quite a lot of competition for the HS80. The main competitors are the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro and the SteelSeries Arctis 7, both of which come in at equivalent, if not slightly higher prices.

　　But they don’t offer more in the way of features, making the HS80 a compelling mid-tier option.

　　

How long will it last?

It’s reasonable to expect the HS80 to last about three years in most circumstances, or slightly longer with mild use.

　　

Should I buy it?

Yes, the Corsair HS80 is a brilliant gaming headset that ticks all the right boxes and little more. Offering a simple, straightforward, effective, and comfortable design, the HS80 is an easy recommendation.
