"Solid build ... I have younger kids who use and abuse it and it’s still trucking."
"This thing has been doing me good on my desktop PC for 4 years of heavy use and I see no reason why it can't go 4 more."
"Swap the ear cushions and they’ll last a good while."

"I recently ordered a renewed Corsair Virtuoso XT from Amazon for $124. I'd have never bought it full price, but for this cheap, it was a no brainer."
"they’re a solid value for the price you can find them for used these days."

"Stuff from Corsair for example have really good quality mics, the Virtuoso and I think the HD80 of whatever they call it, have perfectly good mics. ... no one will hear the difference on discord or in games."
"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"
"the best on-set mic I've used is on the Corsair Virtuoso"

"those setups also lack many of the convenience features that attracted me to this headset in the first place (numerous connectivity options and multipoint device connectivity is important for me because I WFH and this headset does double duty as my work headset and used for playing games on both PC and my Switch.)"
"has the benefit of using both wired and wireless channels simultaneously."
"Removable mic, optional inline 3.5m connection, USB C connection, 2.4ghz dongle, and separate Bluetooth so you can have your phone audio and notifications at the same time as your other preferred connection to your computer. That’s all the features I could want"

"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."
"with unnoticeable latency"
"Dolby Atmos (which these also include for free if that’s your thing, just download the Dolby app and make them your active listening device in windows and it’ll enable the option to turn it on)."

"the headband fatigues my skull"
"They fit my large head/ears better than most others I've tried (arctis line, corsair void/virtuoso, hyperx cloud)"
"I hope they fixed my biggest gripes with them which is... comfort. ... the xt earcups are pretty uncomfortable ngl"

"At first, it seemed okay having to charge your headphones, but once I started having longer gaming sessions (5+ hours), it became a pain in the ass. ... I get to play games once per week, and I don't want to deal with cables"
"I used my Corsair headphones so much that the battery no longer lasted a work day and swapping the battery in those was a little too risky for me to do myself."
"The cups degraded to shreds in under 2 years"

"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."

"I get constant interference on the 2.4Ghz channel. ... Sound and voice cut out repeatedly ... it wasn’t an issue with the SE, but was with the XT"
