"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 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"

"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."

"Corsair Virtuoso Max audio quality is insanely below others at the same price point."
I love my Corsair. It’s pricy, but it’s really good and has lasted me, like…4 years with 0 issues https://www.bestbuy.com/product/corsair-virtuoso-max-wireless-gaming-headset-for-pc-mac-ps5-ps4-and-mobile-carbon/J39TSCH7YQ/sku/6594136?sb_share_source=PDP&ref=app_pdp&loc=pdp_page
r/GirlGamers • What headset would you recommend? ->Tbh if its immersion, I love the playstation pulse earbuds. They feel comfortable and the sound is great for me. Outside of that. Can't go wrong with a pair of corsair virtuoso max's, they are super comfy. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/gaming-headsets/ca-9011372-ww/virtuoso-max-wireless-gaming-headset-carbon-ca-9011372-ww
r/PS5pro • Okay I need opinions about gaming headsets for the ps5 pro 😎😁 ->I like my Corsair virtuoso max but I know there are better for less. Just had the money and saw them in store at best buy when I was there
r/buildapc • What's the Best Wireless Gaming Headset in Your Opinion? ->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
r/Corsair • Corsair Virtuoso MAX Wireless ->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.
r/Corsair • Is Virtuoso Max Worth it? ->Loving my Corsair Virtuoso Maxs
r/PcBuild • What are the best gaming headsets you guys currently own and recommend ->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.
r/PcBuild • What are the best gaming headsets you guys currently own and recommend ->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
r/steelseries • SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite review: The ultimate gaming headset? ->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.
r/Corsair • Is Virtuoso Max Worth it? ->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
r/Corsair • Corsair Virtuoso MAX Wireless ->I have read similar comments. I think the mic is good. I have zero complaints about the mic quality
r/Corsair • Corsair Virtuoso MAX Wireless ->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.
r/Corsair • Corsair Virtuoso MAX Wireless ->I have the Corsair virtuoso max and I absolutely love them The battery life is shit I will admit but the build quality and sound quality is spot on no issues well built I had a turtle beach headset last me 10 years before these ones I have now
