KitGuru says: The HS80 Max Wireless is a good headset. The sound quality is particularly impressive, the headset produces clean, loud audio which sounds great for both games and media. The built in microphone works well and will handle online chat with ease. Build quality could be better, with a mostly plastic build, but the yokes are metal so the strength is there where it's needed most. Overall, a good headset that comes at quite the price.
