CORSAIR - VIRTUOSO PRO Open Back Wired Gaming Headset for PC, Mac, PS5, PS4, Xbox, Switch, and Mobile - Carbon

Open back gaming is amazing. I'm able to get a huge sound stage when I want to OR lower the volume and still hear YouTube on my iPad. There is some noise through the cord when moving but I didn't find it distracting once the game was making noise

Excellent pair of open-back headphones/headset if you're looking for a good combo pair with a removable mic. The weight is good for a mix of metal and plastic. Has a solid feel and an adequate clamp force. Comfort is subjective but I found them to be fairly comfortable. What may hamper them is the ear can shape being a circle versus an oval that's more common and their shallow-ish depth. Thankfully there are third party options that offer a deeper cup to increase the comfort. Comes with cable options for audio only, headset option, and an adapter for pc connections (split audio and mic). The sound is really good with decent base, strong mids, and good highs. These make a great intro headset/headphone into open-backed audiophile territory if they are purchased on sale. If at full price i'd recommend the Sennheiser PC38X if you don't mind a non-removable mic. Also comes with very nice headphone/headset case. The only real downside I found is with the cables. Since they are rough, they do transfer noise/vibrations along the cable into the drivers when moved along another surface. May bother some, may not. Thankfully the cables can be changed with 3rd party options if it's a bother.

Admittedly, I am not an audiophile, but this is the best sounding headset I've owned. Pros: - Beautiful and clean design - Amazing build quality - Sound incredible - Comfortable for long work/gaming sessions Cons: - The braided cables do allow a bit of movement noise into the headset, but it's not something I notice regularly. Overall, if you're in the market for an open back gaming headset, this is an incredible option. I was a little concerned about going open back as I have two small children that can be quite noisy and I didnt want that distracting me from work. I feel like these fall somewhere between the isolation of closed back and the passthrough of open back, it's a really nice middleground.

These feel, look, and sound great. Love them and don’t make my ears too hot

I personally love these so much but some gamers might not prefer them because the cords come out of both sides of the ears. The mic snaps in but its not the best desingn. I love the open back and the sound is amazing. They are so comfortable and good looking.
