Corsair - Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE

xbox headset, or he plays on xbox? If he's on PC, I've tried a few and I really like the Logitech Pro X 7.1. They're about £120. There's also a SE Amazon-exclusive version at just £60 at the moment which seems to have all the same features. The reason I like them is that the audio positioning - which is super important in PUBG - is fantastic, amongst the best I've experienced in multiple sets of headphones at all prices. Note, they are wired. Wireless, I'd recommend the CORSAIR Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE 7.1. The spacial audio on these works really well too, and the mic quality is unparalleled - listening to friends who also use this headset, there's not a whisper of background noise or hiss or anything, it's so clear it's like they're narrating an audio book to you. These are a tad expensive - £250 - and I stopped using them only because I swapped to a different audio system and some wired headphones...otherwise these would be my go-to.

I'm in a similar situation. Wicked pads with cooling gel definitely made a world of difference. That said, my biggest gripe with the headset is the battery life. How many hours do you get while voice chatting or gaming or both on your SE's?

Im a corsair shill. My void pro headset lasted me 7 years until I broke it on accident and upgraded to the virtuoso and have no regrets.

On god it doesn’t die. It only broke from crushing it like an idiot but the headset still works it’s just snapped in the middle band and want stay on your head 😂 I got the virtuoso se which is metal and the only downside is weight (probably a non issue on the normal one) but it sounds amazing, mic is good even though I use a deskmic and best of all battery life. This thing can go a few days if you leave rgb off.

Corsair virtuoso se and xl. Hands down the best headphones I've purchased. I only got the xl because my wife got us the xl and k100 keyboards on a bundle sale from corsair.

I’m curious to know how this stacks up to the Virtuoso Se. I have the SE. the sound quality to me is fantastic though alittle lacking in bass. I use Corsair’s Icue to tune, that helps out a lot. The mic on the SE is really good, it would be a shame if the mic quality went down on the Max. The only thing I really didn’t like about the SE same for the XT was how hot the materials made my ears. But getting replacement after market cooling pads for it made a world of difference. I don’t know if that will be an option on the Max. Does anyone have experience with both these headsets? Is it worth upgrading? And are the ear muffs, lol interchangeable?

If u get the 2, can u let me know how are they in a longer than 2hr gaming session? My corsair virtuoso rgb they suck after an hr of game play they just hurt.

I got the corsair virtuoso rgb they can only be worn for about an hr they are so uncomfortable.

I have gone through all the premium/best-reviewed ones and the Corsair Virtuoso is the best overall in my experience. I didn't like the weird headband on the Steel Series Arctic line. For me it was not comfortable at all. I had a previous version of the Arctis with the little dock and hot-swap batteries, and I LOVED that battery switch feature.

Corsair HS80 max or virtuoso is my rec Don't get the pulse it has poor build quality and underwhelming battery life

Never buy a Razer headset. I have the Corsair Virtuoso and it’s been great for me. Wireless but an insane battery life, really good, detachable microphone. Fairly comfortable but not the most, sometimes have to adjust the ear pads.

+1 for the Virtuoso. It's a solid headset, great mic and has the benefit of using both wired and wireless channels simultaneously.

I’m very happy with my Corsair virtuoso. Solid build, good sound. I have younger kids who use and abuse it and it’s still trucking. Only thing I didn’t like is the headband and cups. The spray leather deteriorated, so I opted for valour fabric instead, very comfy

OW subreddit isn’t the best resource for this, YouTube and review sites are. I think, imo, $200 is a better budget for a high end headset, and even then you can get something that’s quality between $100-$200. My own anecdotal experience, my Corsair Virtuoso have been solid for the last 4 years. My brother recently got Astro A30s and he likes them but he paid the premium for them for their ability to easily switch between console and PC. Both headsets go on sale often, as they have been out for a while now, so I wouldn’t buy either at full price. HyperX, also, has some good headsets but I’d look at reviews of the specific headset you’re interested in.

I'm replacing my virtuouso with the nova. The v's cups are too small for my ears and the headband fatigues my skull, they are super heavy aswell. I did like the build quality and the detachable mic though. Battery has been dieing much quicker after a year but that could be my fault.

Really didn't like it. Quite dull sound imo + USB micro. Still love my Corsair Virtuoso

iCue constantly explodes, requiring a reinstall to fix, and the settings you put on the headset REQUIRE iCue to reapply every time the headset connects. I have the Virtuoso, and I HATE the green "not muted" light, and I hate the lack of control over which voice prompts they use. The cups degraded to shreds in under 2 years, the plastic holding one cup broke from an accidental drop onto the desk. 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. Needless to say, I have regrets, hence why I'm on this forum looking for alternatives

I should clarify, \*SOME\* options revert to factory. There are two ways for me to turn off the logo lighting, turning the color to black, and setting the brightness to zero. If I set it to black, it will restore its color when not running iCue, if I set brightness to zero, it holds that setting. The same cannot be said of the "enable green light while active" setting. There is seemingly no way to turn that green light off without having iCue running.

I was told to go back to Corsair Virtuoso headset because Maxwell mic sucked so bad. I disagree. And if I have to spend MORE money on a pricey headset to make it work well, then it has shit value

These are great, but with the right EQ settings, the Corsair Virtuoso easily outclasses them. Of course, that comes at a steep premium.

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 I will say my only complaint at the beginning was the comfort, it felt a bit too tight on my head but maybe that's just me

My absolute favorite headset of all time is the Corsair Virtuoso. Has a good program to adjust the eq and great mic.

i use the corsair virtuoso and connect it to DOLBY ACCESS for 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.
