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.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
