CORSAIR - VIRTUOSO RGB Wireless Gaming Headset for PC, Mac, PS4, and Mobile - Carbon

Great Gaming Headset! It offers downloadable software to control positional sound and RGB functions, a sturdy yet lightweight frame, 50mm drivers, and a very good mic! I recommend this model!!

Excellent product still using strong after a solid 2 years!

I really like this headset, it's comfortable and the mic is clear

I bought these for my WFH job, they are really comfortable for wearing 8+ hours a day and good quality sound.

Excellent sound quality and great battery life. Highly recommend.

This headset is built beautifully, although out of the box I did not like its stock sound signature. The pads were also uncomfortable after some hours of use. To remedy these issues, I downloaded and installed Equalizer APO and Peace APO, and found a parametric EQ for the Corsair Virtuoso (search for jaakkopasanen AutoEQ) to equalize their sound. I replaced the pads with Brainwavz Sheepskin Leather circle pads. The stock pads will need to be peeled off their ring adapters which comes off with a clockwise twist. You also need to trim around the tabs on the adapters so the leather doesn't cover them and it locks back into place. With these changes, I fell in love with this headset and it's become my daily driver. If you want good sound out of the box without EQ and comfort without modding, there are other options to consider but with these tweaks they're worth it - especially with their outstanding build quality.

Great sound quality and rest perfectly on head. No problems whatsoever.

i got these on sale for $139. I looked around and i thought that I found the perfect headset for gaming, music, and YouTube etc.. ill start off with the build of it. AMAZING it feels super quality and there's metal on the headphones, but it doesn't make it too heavy. my last pair of corsair headphones, the earcup came off with no way to re attach or attach a new one, but these are replaceable which is nice. which leads to my second point. The earcups, first out of the box they felt like Styrofoam and they crunched when i put them on, but with some time that went away. also the earcups are VERY shallow and my ears are constantly rubbing against the sides of the headphones which makes these uncomfortable to wear for a long time. but a simple solution to this would be to buy thicker replacement pads. though for 139 let alone 179 not on sale i think this should come with better pads. Now to sound, these sound AWFUL straight out of the box. which is why you NEED the ICUE software. Even in the ICUE software the presets are also awful. i had to make my own Eq preset and after 2 hours of making this preset i found a very good preset which is good for gaming, music, and YouTube etc.. Still i think for 139 these should come with at LEAST decent sound quality out of the box. my old HS60 pros had WAY better sound quality out of the box. though with the preset it sounds very good and ill post a picture if anyone wants to try mine.(I listen to rock, metal, punk, and alt. rock so the sound may not be as good for you depending on your genre of music) Other things...the headset doesn't have an off button which i think is weird but its not too much off an issue I guess because you can sett it to sleep after 10 min. of idling. the wireless range says that its 60 feet, but the sound quality drops significantly after just 10 ft. and it completely loses sound after just 20-25 ft.(this may be for me because of my walls.) I didn't notice a difference between wired and wireless which is good. The battery life is ok, i had to charge it 4 hrs after i got it and you can charge while your using it, but it protrudes into your shoulder and its just very uncomfortable. both the charging cable and the aux are decently made but their not very long. Overall: If you're willing to put the time in to fix the Eq settings and get new earpads then i feel that these are a good choice. But if you're not then i wouldn't recommended this to you. I left all the peels on because I'm still deciding if im going to return it.
