"The mic quality on the virtuoso is on a whole other level compared to other headsets in the same price range, goes from muddy to crisp and crystal clear with the virtuoso"


"Mic is good just like XT ... I think the mic is good. I have zero complaints about the mic quality ... After about 5 mins of how this questions to my friends they seem to prefer the new mic."


"great mic"

"terrific in game audio queues ... not joking when i turn on the game mode i can hear footsteps so far away and so accurately that i can still be useful when im dead because of my comms."


"Amazing sound over the XTs once i played around with dobly and sound ID. ... Truely fantastic."


"with the right EQ settings, the Corsair Virtuoso easily outclasses them"

"The volume wheel has a mind of its own, can adjust system volume randomly, and may or may not skyrocket to 0 or 100% on its own."

"iCue constantly explodes, requiring a reinstall to fix ... the settings you put on the headset REQUIRE iCue to reapply every time the headset connects. ... I have reinstalled iCue a number of times to try to make it work and its straight up ass IMO."


"I HATE the green "not muted" light ... There is seemingly no way to turn that green light off without having iCue running. ... they made the Virtuoso default to factory LED settings whenever it was not connected to iCue, so I have to have it running to disable the LED."

"no chatmix is crazy. ... I feel they could easily update through the IQ software to replace the Bluetooth wheel with chat mix but we'll see."


"Also why would they get rid of the USB connection when the SEs and XTs that was the premium audio connection?"

Unfortunately I read somewhere no on saving to the headset. Also why would they get rid of the USB connection when the SEs and XTs that was the premium audio connection? I'm happy with the setup it's just classy looking machining work on them and Wicked Cushions will fix part of the comfort issues

I originally had a st of virtuoso xt rgb had them for nearly 2 years before they developed a fault. Which were replaced via warranty virtuoso max silver. Personal I consider virtuoso a massive improvement in comfort over the xt the headband is a bit bigger and the ear cups despite still being round are slightly bigger and it makes a big difference. The clamping force has been increased, so headset dosent slip, & i dosent feel uncomfortable. The Bluetooth sound has been massive improvement with anc working nice haven't been able to. Try wifi as my pc is down. So far very pleased. It's a bit bigger but headset is better for it

I like my pair, but I had to recently do an RMA with them because the fabric on the headband was pulling away from the headband. So when I sent them back, I sent everything that came with them back to Corsair, but when they sent me my refurbished set, they didn’t send it with a case, so now I don’t have a case for my headphones.

A solid 8. The range could be better & in 2025 they should be compatible with all platforms. There’s currently 2 separate models for pc/ps and xbox/pc. The pc/ps version(the ones i have)has access to a few things the xbox version doesn’t like the pause & skip buttons. Something about the sound control and maybe other features I’m forgetting. The boxes look *extremely* similar so i bought the “wrong” but still better pair as an xbox/pc player & i just don’t think that should be a thing anymore.

Mine haven't arrived yet, but I'm upgrading from the original artist pro wireless, pre nova. I just got and returned the Corsair virtuoso max, because the top band hurts my head, and the icue software is garbage. I love my m65 mouse and k100 keyboard, but their headset has zero software, volume dial is awkward, and headband hurts. Quality was nice, removable mic is neat, but I'm going back to steel series for their game engine and sonar

Best gaming headset in the market imo. At least at this price range. ANC is better than any other gaming headset hands down. Simultaneous bluetooth and wireless is great. Im never going to get a headset without this feature in the future. Sounds great. It took a while for it to get comfortable but it looks like Ive adjusted to it. Its a 100% buy for me.

Im a corsair guy for sure. I own the XT RGB with wicked cush and have mained them for a couple years. Haha not like i had another pair or anything. Anyway i just picked up the Virtouso Max on 1/25. Updated firmware and im fairy Tech savy. Amazing sound over the XTs once i played around with dobly and sound ID. Truely fantastic. I have a big head and I do notice clamping force on my head but it fits will. ANC is crazy. I didnt think i would need it but damn its goodtransparancy mode is good not amazing. I have zero sleep to wake volume issues Side tone works barely <---- frankly worthless also trans mode is not a work aroundMic is good just like XT

I had a chance to use my headset with my friends last night. I initially had to lower my sensitivity in icue. After about 5 mins of how this questions to my friends they seem to prefer the new mic. Hope this helps.

I tried so many headphones and headsets it's crazy. The Maxwell is fine but really heavy and meh mic Rog Delta 2 has a good mic now and easy to EQ, but too expensive for what it is Razer is just average at best for most of them. Astro is great, but f the dock. JBL Quantum series sound is very average. Great bass Corsair Virtuoso Max audio quality is insanely below others at the same price point. Alienware Pro is 100$ too expensive, ears gets hot unde an hour and mine lasted 4 days. I heard good things about the Atlas Air.
