david_fraser75 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hello all, I have joined the mass of HS75 XB headsets that have frozen. Have now been waiting two days for the headset to discharge. not very encouraging that this issue has been ongoing so long!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee Corsair Albert Posted March 10, 2021 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 10, 2021 Hey everyone, A fix is still in the works. Once I have any news, I'll be sure to provide it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euconsumer Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) Hi, I have had my HS 75 XB since december (XBOX Series X) and luckily it has not frozen for me yet. However it suffers from random audio dropouts and disconnects. I have also filed a support ticket for this earlier but nothing came out from it. I upgraded to 3.0.3 when it was available and this firmware fixed the battery charge indication (goes to white when fully charged) however the audio dropouts persist. Particularly bad in AC Valhalla. Rebooting the console makes it better for a while ? No difference with/without mic connected. I have Netgear Orbi mesh wifi (RBR50) but I think the issue is more codec oriented since some games are worse than others. Two (2) other wireless headsets (PC and PS4) works flawlessly in same room/conditions. Not sure yet if this is an Xbox Series X issue or headset issue. I will wait for the next firmware release, if I still have issues I will simply return the headset to retailer and claim it faulty as this covered by our consumer laws up to one (1) year.

Ekopy Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Hey everyone, A fix is still in the works. Once I have any news, I'll be sure to provide it here. Will this upcoming fix solve the issue with headsets that we're bricked from 3.0.3 (possibly stuck in bootloader mode)? I have an RMA request approved currently but I'd rather not spend the $20 to send it back if the next FW update will fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been reports of interference across many headsets which utilize Xbox's wireless technology/protocol. This is not to shift any blame, but it's worth mentioning. Do your other headsets utilize the proprietary Xbox wireless connection? Curious if they may encounter a similar interference. Will this upcoming fix solve the issue with headsets that we're bricked from 3.0.3 (possibly stuck in bootloader mode)? I have an RMA request approved currently but I'd rather not spend the $20 to send it back if the next FW update will fix this. Yes, the pending update is planned to fix the issue.

rafs24 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Yes, the pending update is planned to fix the issue. Thank you for your answer. The question is when will this update come out? It is taking way too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaSafari Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Hey everyone, A fix is still in the works. Once I have any news, I'll be sure to provide it here. Guys thank you for giving us an update. But it is definitely time for you to successfully release the fix. The headset costs 179€ here in Germany and this is not exactly cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_fraser75 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 This has been an issue since September of last year and Corsair have not been able to supply a fix for this issue in all this time. I think we all deserve a proper explanation of this issue and why it has taken so long to resolve. If there is not a working fix for this issue very soon I for one will be returning the headphones for a refund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebadoh Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I'm done... I've been patient. I've spent many hours trying to help diagnose this issue. I have spent the time to report my specifics. I've been hounded to return the other set before I get a replacement. (I still have not) We've all been told for now almost 5 months that the official word is verbatim: "a fix is coming soon", and literally they have gotten WORSE. Now once again.... nearing 5 months in, they are still stringing us along with the exact same response. I want my money back. Sadly, because I believed that "a fix will be coming soon" as we were told, I cannot... as it is too late. I am beyond frustrated. It is time to begin class-action, as this is not really going to be fixed anytime soon, and my time is worth more than this. I'm embarrassed to admit I fell for it. I do not mean this post sardonically.. I really wanted them to work... but I cannot wait 5 months and spend hours of my life helping to diagnose an issue for a company that knowingly sent out a flawed product. This is offensive to me. I just want a refund now. My ticket that has been open for months is still not received a replacement.... only asked to send back the old ones.. 3 times. At what point is this ridiculous? At what point is is illegal and fraudulent? I'm tired of (but feel sorry for) poor Corsair Albert reporting "we have a fix working, but nothing to report, but it is a high priority.. since November.. that has been literally all we have heard of any substance. The laws are very complex as my attorney has advised me. States and countries have different rules about a product that cannot work past x-number of days. (now that we are in the realm of months.... ) I just want my money back. We've been disrespected as customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee Corsair Albert Posted March 15, 2021 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Hey everyone, 3.0.3 firmware is live on iCUE. Please update your iCUE to 3.38.61 before updating your HS75's firmware to 3.0.3. For those who were unable to successfully update previously, please let us know if your headset is back to normal. Thank you for your patience. I genuinely understand the frustration and ensure you guys are being heard. We'll still be continuously monitoring this thread for feedback on the update and for further improvement. Please let us know if any issues are still present after the FW update. A quick reminder on the optimizations provided by 3.0.3 firmware: Power on/Power off sequencing has been improved and button duration should be more lenient.Default volume level and wheel responsiveness improved.LED indication should be improved in some edge cases where indication could be incorrect previous (ex. the headset could under some conditions indicate pairing while not in pairing mode)Charge indication LED accuracy should be improved.Fix crashing issue where the headset could get locked up.

PapaSafari Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Quick update for everyone. We’ve made the decision to pull the 3.0.3 firmware update for further testing based on the feedback received here. Although we do perform a rigorous validations process before releasing all of our updates, there is always a chance the update can fail outside our control. We appreciate your patience and the feedback all of you have provided while we continue to work on improving the product experience. Once we have a new update available, we’ll notify you to update the headset. For those who were able to successfully update their headsets, please do feel free to chime in there's any new feedback. I thought you pulled 3.0.3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
