I mean out of the box these things are well built. Look and feel like they are top of the line.. but after 20 minutes of wearing them, the pain starts. I have a normal sized head and these things are tight. And the ear cup isn’t deep enough so it puts pressure on the ears. Not ideal for any music/gaming session. Return is in process.

The charge on it, over time, would go down further and further, until it could barely be off the charging cable for 5 minutes before it beeped saying it was low on power. Now, less then 4 months after I bought it, it has stopped working completely. It won't turn on, won't charge, and doesn't even detect a charge from ANYTHING

Headset was great while it lasted, but the headset broke with in the first year. The Right eat Piece broke off from the actual headset. You would think headsets that cost 225 would actually last longer than this.

Worst headphones I’ve ever used. Audio cracks when using via Bluetooth, constant noise and “battery charged” alerts when playing plugged in. I’ve had better audio from significantly less expensive headsets. 0/10 would not recommend.

This headset is garbage. It sounds terrible ans has zero features. It’s not anywhere near worth the money I paid for it. Buyer beware, if you’re looking for a high end headset look elsewhere. It does not have the ability to “blend” chat and game sound, which was a dealbreaker for me.

I've tested quite a few sets of wireless gaming headsets and these corsair virtuoso wireless gaming headphones are one of the best! However, there are some technical issues that Corsair needs to work on. If you can get past the issues you will have a great set of headphones. In the box was the headphones, microphone, slipstream dongle, audio cable, USB A to USB C cable and a really nice quilted carry case. When you look at the headphones you immediately can tell that they are quality. The metal forks, hinges, ear cups and headband all feel premium. When using the headphones they feel comfortable, the sound is excellent and they get pretty loud. The wireless slipstream dongle and microphone also worked great However, I didn't get these great results right out the box. As I mentioned earlier, there are some technical issues which initially made these headphones a pain. Out of the box the headphones sound flat and are not very loud. This is because the headphones and dongle need a firmware update, which you can only get from the Icue software. This is where I had technical issues. The ICue software was not compatible with all my computers. On one computer it wouldn't work at all. On another computer the audio driver wouldn't work. On the 3rd computer it worked without any issues at all. So I would say your results will vary depending on hardware. Once the headphones and dongle are updated you don't need the software anymore and the headphones will sound great on any computer you use them on. Also, here's a pro tip for anyone who can't make them work at all. In windows, open device manager > click view >  select show hidden devices> expand Audio inputs and output > Delete all the drivers for Corsair. Reboot the machine and install the dongle again.they should work now. With all this being said, I really do love these headphones, and highly recommend them, just make sure you update them.

I bought this due to the good reviews. Had it for almost a year and just tried the mic with my friends to play some games but unfortunately this headset does not perform like advertise. It works fine when connected to the PC once you go wireless there's stuttering, static and the mic does not work in wireless mode.

Constantly has usb issues with PC causing it to reset.

The headset LOOKS amazing but works like TRASH! Wireless dongle is a joke, it literally cuts off every 5 min. My friends keep mentioning how my mic cuts of mid sentence. This is a huge blow for me, 180$!?!?!? I gave it more then a fair chance, its been a month!! Never buying Corsair peripherals again...

Micraphone wouldn't stay connected. Short Range. Not worth.

Very high quality headphones, the metal body gives it a solid feel. They set a little loose while wearing them but that varies between different head sizes. The padding is decent but I started to feel discomfort after 40-60 minutes after wearing them. The mic quality was supposedly better sounding than my previous headset (wired razor kraken for reference), the bass is clearer and deeper and overall better, however there was an echo for the other person on the Xbox live party. Speaking of Xbox, the wireless function is not compatible with any Xbox consoles, which was a little disappointing. It does still work with the auxiliary cable provided but there is no rgb function and it kinda defeats the purpose of the headset being wireless. The mute button also does not work while the auxiliary cable is plugged in and that was inconvenient and the only way to mute was to unplug the mic altogether. I have not tested the headset's wireless function on PC so I cannot justify it's wireless quality. Pros: very solid feel, sounds good, clear mic, and of course rgb lol Cons: doesn't work for Xbox, uncomfortable after about an hour, subtly loose on head, potential mic echo

After a year it has gone to garbage. Icue wont see it properly, it hurts to wear for longer than 15 min, and I hit the cable pluging it in (wich is the only way to use it) and it will stop working.

Overall i think the headphones are great however, mine i believe came in faulty. Every now and again the headphones will have loud audio pops that sound distorted and last usually around 5-20 seconds and it happens often enough to be annoying

What’s all the rave about this? Sound wasn’t emersive as other head sets, ear padding is too thin, microphone is annoying because it can’t retract and only be removed, wireless didn’t connect so I had to use wired, wired lost connection intermittently.

I can only guess this headset went through little to no quality control as there are constant small issues with sound, but the main problem is that there is absolutely no support or padding for your head, making it very uncomfortable to wear, even for small amounts of time

The lightness and comfort of the ear cups are above average. When you hear the name Corsair, you think memory modules and indeed their software suite had great configuration options but also includes pc monitoring stuff like temperature, etc... The mic has a nice light that glows to indicate if on or off in regard to mute, very handy. The controls are great, and the included cables give you many hookup options. I would have like Bluetooth capabilities in case your not just play games and want to be untethered but my personal quibble. Sound reproduction is well above the price range and is very enjoyable as well as is the comfort factor well using for extended periods of time. The battery life is good but the usb-c charging cable allows for fast recharges, so a good plus.

After 4 short months of owning this pair of headphones the ear cover fell off on its own, I have never been hard on my headphones but the plastic pieces used to keep the cover attached to the headphones broke off after basic wear and usage.

Headphone sound cuts out randomly. I even returned them under warranty and the second pair does the same thing. Headphones also hurt your ears after playing for a few hours. Literally the only plus is the fact that they’re wireless. Trash.

Only worked for 1 month by being wireless. After that for the last 19 months I could only use it plugged in to my pc until last week they finally stopped functioning.

From the only company I trust for my PC's CPU cooler, comes the Corsair Virtuoso. If you enjoyed their line of HS headsets, these feel like a premium version of them. Comfortable, very versatile earcups (able to twist them for easier fitting), and a solid metal design make these feel worth the money. Surprisingly light for the materials used, too. Microphone is surprisingly good quality as well. Of course, most headset mics will never surpass a standalone one, these make a good effort. They sound clear, with decent background noise filtering. These special edition models also come with a nice carrying bag with metal magnetic clip, enhanced mic, and metal earcup casings. (standard model are a grosser looking glossy finish) My ONLY nitpick is that the earcups themselves could be a big larger, but they do still fit comfortably. (and I have an admittedly big head.)
