Corsair - Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE

Oh yeah my router and dongle are all pretty close. Almost on the same shelf… it wasn’t an issue with the SE, but was with the XT

I bought [Corsair Virtuoso](https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07X71T4R6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1), regretted every second and have no clue why I didn't return them in time. They're shit. Ended up keeping my Bose QC25 and then buying an actual mic.

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.

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?

I don't own one. I've seen enough horror stories in here not to buy anything else razer branded other than the 2 keyboards I currently own. Razer used to build quality kit now they just rely on their brand and pump out ewaste. I own a Corsair Virtuoso RGB wireless, sturdy aluminium body and great sound quality.

The in-game 3D positioning is pretty awesome, so you don't need to worry too much about Dolby or other headset-specific 3D tech. To main things you want to look for are: 1. Wired 2. An external DAC. This is basically a dedicated sound card and you'll almost certainly get better audio out of it than any motherboard's on-board audio. The more you can spend here, the better. These are excellent for PUBG - [https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07TLX61W7/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1](https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07TLX61W7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) £85 at the moment. I've compared these to several different headsets and the Logitech give great positional audio and pick up stuff like footsteps with good distance and accuracy. The mic is great, but not quite the best - to be honest the best on-set mic I've used is on the Corsair Virtuoso, which are an excellent set of wireless headphones with unnoticeable latency...but they're much more expensive.

+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

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

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.

Gaming headsets uniformally have terrible ergonomics. If you must have something that's wireless with anc and don't care much about sound quality, I'd look into the JBL quantum line. They fit my large head/ears better than most others I've tried (arctis line, corsair void/virtuoso, hyperx cloud)
