I love the Corsair HS80 for the sound quality but...
I live in Texas and even with air conditioning it gets hot, you sweat. I've tried cleaning the cloth ear cups by wiping them off periodically then because after while they start to smell I washed them in mild soapy water and the cloth almost immediately started coming loose because its just glued to the plastic clip ring. After they dried they still smell so I bought a second set with a new headband from Corsair after owning the headset for just 5 months. I rewashed the first set, put the new set on and in a few months they were going the same way.
Great headset for sound quality but the ear cups are cheap, fall apart when washed and start to smell after a few months use.
