Corsair - Virtuoso XT RGB Wireless

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. I've never used a headset that comes this close to the full package. The microphone quality blows every other built in mic I've ever used out of the water. You'll obviously get better sound quality out of a standalone microphone and some quality studio headphones, but not everyone has hundreds of dollars to drop for a full setup, and 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.) Check out some reviews and see what works for you. The frequency response range is lacking for any audiophile types, but I'm not that picky so to me it sounds better than any other headset I've used over the years.

I’m still using my Corsair Virtuoso XTs and they’re a solid value for the price you can find them for used these days. Swap the ear cushions and they’ll last a good while. 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 and the sound is very good. Just make sure you disable the extra setting in Windows sound settings that makes them sound like a giant empty cavern. I never had that feature on before and when I built a new PC recently and paired them with it that was on bye default and it took me forever to figure out what was causing it. It’s the setting right above the one where you can select 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).

Oh I forgot to go look it up, I meant to do so and edit my comment. Yes the other setting is called “Audio Enhancements” and you absolutely want that set to OFF if you are going to use any Spatial Sound settings. For me it was acting crazy even just having that on alone though. No idea what “Device Default Effects” was doing behind the scenes under that enhancement toggle but it was trash.

Hell yea, man. Solid advice. I appreciate it! I have had mine a while but setting up with a new PC I’m starting all over with it basically. I kick myself every day for not picking up the white one I saw at Game Exchange for $50. It’s a damn good headset.

I can recommend my Corsair virtuoso XT - the latency and the wireless quality is top notch - only downside is the weight of the headset. If you're looking for a lighter one, I definitely advise to choose one with usb-c dongle connection and not bluetooth to avoid latency issues

To this day, the closest to studio grade mic, on a headset, that I heard was on the Corsair Virtuoso RGB XT. That one was pretty crazy. Unfortunately the rest of that headset sucked. The Antlion mod mic wireless is really good, also, along with the Blackshark V2. But yeah, you can do better with one of those $60 Sno ball mics.

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

Corsair virtuoso xt. Integrates into everything i own. Can also answer calls on your mobile at the same as you are gaming if needed

At the time, it was just a handy use case scenario. The wireless headset i was using was a Corsair Virtuoso XT. It came with a 3.5 mm jack and I would use that connection to my Steam deck while at work. The 2.4 GHz worked great on my PC and I could take calls with the Bluetooth on my phone. One of the reasons I returned the Nova Pro Wireless was because the moment you plug the 3.5 into the headset, it powers off all wireless options.

Seems sucky, like why have that threshold. Corsair seems to have it down. I got all three working with 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

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.

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.
