Corsair HS80 Vs Astro A30 wireless headset comparison

Here I am comparing the ‪@corsair‬ HS80 and the ‪@astrogaming‬ Astro A30. These are two quite different headsets, but both have their own appeal and I think they're worth putting to the test.

The Corsair HS80 has highlights that include:
- An excellent microphone
- Soft and comfortable ear cushions
- High-res 96KHz/24-bit audio on PC
- But no Bluetooth or 3.5mm connection

The Astro A30 has highlights:
- Multiple connection options with Bluetooth, 2.4GHz and 3.5mm on offer
- Faux leather earcups that offer passive noise cancellation
- Smart phone controls
- Customisable design with external speaker plates
- But it's microphone isn't great
