Build quality superb, sound & mic quality excellent. 24/96 in usb wired mode, can also accept 3.5mm input from your favorite DAC/Amp. I loved the overall quality, it was just a bit too heavy on my head. YMMV

I’m absolutely loving my new CORSAIR VIRTUOSO XT Wireless Gaming Headset! The build quality is impressive, with a durable yet lightweight frame that feels incredibly comfortable during long gaming sessions. The 50mm neodymium drivers deliver fantastic, immersive sound, and the 7.1 surround sound feature really enhances my gaming experience. The low-latency wireless connection and 20-hour battery life are perfect for those marathon sessions. The detachable mic is crystal clear with excellent noise cancellation, and the iCUE software makes customization a breeze. Overall, this headset is a game-changer, combining top-notch performance with unbeatable comfort.

Keep in mind that this headset requires a "break in" period. Discomfort around the 2 hour mark for me, but after a few weeks that went away and they are very comfortable.
The sound quality is great on games and movies, I can not speak on the mic quality since I never used the it. Pairing with iPhone works great. Battery life is solid.
Unfortunately, the quality of the ear cups is poor. In less than a year of regular use, mainly for gaming and watching movies the cups are falling apart. I can not recommend this headset at this price point.

Just picked up these headphones about a week ago, great sound and the mic is a 10/10. my last headset was the SteelSeries arctic 9x for Xbox series x, these have a better sound quality and the mic quality is superior.
These headphones have a Bluetooth feature to connect another device to it (i.e your phone) and I find it super convenient, coming from the artic 9x the Bluetooth feature was a must for me.

I game on PS5 and I was excited to try out these headphones. The comfort and built quality are top tier. I was looking for pair of gaming headphones with both Wireless and Bluetooth but sadly the sound is not there. Bluetooth was very simple to set up and it even comes with its own volume controls. I ended up returning them after 3 days because the audio on first person shooters is very heavy on bass and it is very hard to hear your opponents steps on the other side of the wall. The sad thing is that it comes with a software to modify the EQ but it does not transfer over to the PS5. If you game on PC then this is definitely the headset you want since you will be able to dial in the sound and get the most from this headset. If you game on console there are better options out there.

Versatile headset for gaming. Love the ability to not only be Bluetooth but have wifi capability for connectivity. The battery life could be better but it doesn't bother me too much since I mainly keep it corded. RGB but obviously it's really out of sight and not something I have set up in iCue. Comfortable headset out of the box.
4 stars but definitely a good buy. Big dock is the initial sound out of the box. Recommend using the Dolby Atmos app and adjusting your sound profile.

These are good headphones sounded great but the only problem I had with them is that they’re a little heavy because they’re made out of a lot of metal and also they didn’t fit my big fat head but that’s a me problem maybe they’ll fit your little tiny peanut head

I'm writing this review 10 months after my original purchase. I just had them replaced under geek squad warranty. The ear cuff material is a fake leather that deteriorates way quicker than I expected. After less than a year about 1/3 of the material had peeled off and the cushions had flattened to less than half their original size. The ear pads are replaceable but that would only be a positive if the original pads could outlast the warranty. Microphone and speaker sound quality is great and the main reason why I went for a same model replacement. The multi-connection support is also a huge plus. All in all a okay headset at a premium price point
Understand that the extended warranty should be a part of the investment as you'll be needing to replace parts of it within a year.

Pricey for what it does but works for me

I had a very specific use-case involving phones and PCs which is how I settled on these:
1. When working from home, I wanted to be able to listen to music from my home computer and attend meetings on my work laptop without having to swap cables/turn on/off bluetooth/etc. In addition, the headset should have low latency and working mic when plugged into my home computer for gaming when not working :)
2. When working from the office, I wanted to be able to listen to music & take calls on my phone while attending meetings on my work laptop without having to swap cables/turn on/off bluetooth on either the phone or laptop.
Since generally bluetooth latency ranges from "ok" to "good" on phones (I have an Android that doesn't have a headphone jack :( ) and "poor" on Windows due to codec differences, at the office I wanted to be able to BT to my phone while plugged into my laptop with working mic and at home I wanted to be able connected to my work laptop and my home computer at the same time, all with minimal latencies preferably without having to reconfigure everything. In addition I don't have admin access in Windows on my work PC so the headset should work out of the box with it.
So, after spending hours on RTINGS, I picked the Corsair Virtuoso RGB XT. It ships with a 2.4ghz wireless usb dongle, a wired USB-A to USB-C cable, and a 3.5mm TRRS cable. The detachable mic has a micro-USB connector on it (in order to support the RGB on the of the mic that shows mute status).
The Headset itself on the right cup has a toggle switch for switching between Wired and Wireless Dongle mode. There's also a separate set of buttons for toggling Bluetooth modes and adjusting Bluetooth volume. There's a scrollwheel for managing the volume in Wired/Wireless Dongle mode. This is slightly confusing, but my guess is that Corsair took the Virtuoso SE which doesn't have BT and just shoved a whole separate BT module into it.
Configurations I've tested:
* #1 USB Cable plugged into Desktop, Wireless dongle plugged into Work Laptop. I have to flip the Wired/Wireless switch when I want to switch audio sources between laptop and desktop. Voice quality is good.
* #2 BT paired to Android Phone, USB Cable plugged into Work Laptop. With the headset toggled to Wired mode, I don't have to touch anything to talk via the laptop while streaming music on the phone. Voice quality is good.
* BT to Laptop, USB Cable plugged into Desktop.
The mic pickup by the laptop & latency using the default BT mode is really really bad. Can't do calls on the laptop with this setup.
I haven't tested any configurations with the TRRS cable, mostly because using the USB cable is working fine and charges the headset at the same time.
Bonus: configuration #2 means I can leave the USB wireless dongle plugged into the docking port at home, and don't have to take it with me when I go to the office.
Ergonomics: These headsets feel ok, but not as comfortable as my old Razer Blackshark wired headset due to less padding over all. The cups are somewhat shallower too, which other reviews have noticed and your ears may hit the drivers, but I wear these for hours at a time and they don't hurt or anything. I like how the cups do fold flat for better backpack storage during transport.
Sound Quality: The sound quality has been much maligned in other reviews. iCue software lets you provide custom equalizer settings. I'm not very picky but I did install iCue on my home computer and set it to some recommendations on Reddit. I have not tested the Dolby Atmos on PC.
Minus 2 stars due to: bad bluetooth support on PC, sound quality, price and ergonomics.
Plus 1 stars due to the diversity of connectivity options, fulfilling my business requirements.

Best headset ever. The quality is there, the price is steep but you get what you pay for. Quality. The battery life is shorter than what i expected but the quality of the headset makes up for that. The only problem ive experienced is the corsair software. It causes major stuttering in games (such as warzone) but it works just as good without the software installed.

Great quality headset. Comfortable, heavy but built to last. My one complaint is the mic is sensitive to ambient noise. DL Voice software for noise canceling. There is a uni-directional mic I can order but just spent couple hundred bucks, don't feel like spending another $30.

Love this headset. It's such a game changer especially with Dolby Atmos. Sucks you have to pay a one time fee for it but it's definitely worth the money. Corsair stay on top except with ICUE. Icue is a garbage interface.

This is an amazing product. I like the fact that it connects to my PC, my phone and my consuls it has the wireless dongle. It has the Bluetooth and it has a wired connection. The one thing I wish that it was able to do is connect to my Xbox series X wirelessly. but the wired connection is not so bad. The only other thing also is that there is an a power on our power off button so if you happen to leave it switch on to wireless and don’t have it charging the battery does drain pretty quickly, even when not in use. I would’ve given it a five star. If you did have a power on and power off button and was able to connect to my Xbox wirelessly better than that great price, great value for what it offers
