Corsair - Virtuoso XT RGB Wireless

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

I bought a corsair virtuoso

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 always use my headphones. Corsair Virtuoso XT. they're ok, have a relatively great mic (only compared to other gaming headsets), but absolutely overpriced an kinda uncomfortable. if you want speakers, either go for the Edifier R19BT 2.0 or if you have enough space for a subwoofer (under ur desk, gotta be not pressed against the wall or anything really) get the Creative Pebble Plus 2.1. the Pebble will sound overall better at a lower price (should be around 40) . But it needs extra space under your desk. the Edifier R19BT sound a little worse at a higher price (around 50), but doesn't need the extra space. I got the Edifier R19BTs for my roommate just last week. it's honestly overkill for just YT video watching. But yeah either option is great for their price. edit: I used to have speakers, but they're busted. it's just that I don't want to ALWAYS have a headphone on my head. sometimes it's bothersome. can't tell you what I had, doe. some no name shii, that was gifted to me (like the owner wanted to throw them away and went: yo u need speakers?) they sounded terrible, but if you chillin, it don't really matter. imma get the pebbles one day. or something better if something better comes out or drops in price by the time I actually buy one

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.

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.

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
