They are ok
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly, not a big fan. The simulated 7.1 is ok, but just that. It could be my head shape, but these get uncomfortable pretty quickly. I even changed out the earpiece foam with an aftermarket product. I also feel it lacking in bass. As for comms, it works great. Crystal clear voice, and the mic is decent as well. I do feel that it is not really worth the price I paid. It also has limited RGB.

Posted .Hello,
Which RGB limitations did you run into from what is promised/marketed as? As far as shape, that's unfortunate but indeed not everyone's head would feel the best with these.

Most comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best overall experience amongst others such as turtle beach’s and razer kraken. Not plug and play tho, I had to look up an EQ that sounded right to me. Love that I can link my phone to the headset via Bluetooth, very convenient. Also not too heavy, very comfortable and versatile.

Love these!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously had a Razor headset and found it very heavy, but this was a great upgrade for me. It's great that it has multiple ways to connect via Bluetooth and hardwire. Sound quality is superb and comfortable to use for a long time.

Versatile headset.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound for games and I like that it can handle both phone and my computer at that same time. Out of the box music sounded terrible on my computer but loading Windows Atmos solved that. They are a bit small for my really big head, but I can still wear it comfortably for hours, just not perfectly.

Best headset out there
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beat overall headset out there. Great sound quality and the on board mic is decent enough and doesnt sound like a tin can. Slightly pricey but you get what you pay for. Highly recommend

Best headset for PC gaming
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This headset is extremely comfortable and has great directional audio. If you play FPS games this headset is a must. Corsair also has great customer service with reasonable response times.

Great Build, Awful Sound.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I genuinely dont understand all the raving reviews around this headset. The only possibility that makes sense is that no one who is reviewing this gaming headset has ever used a pair of bluetooth headphones that were over $50. The build quality is outstanding and the comfort is decent but the main purpose of a headset or headphones is to hear sound through them. You buy better headphones because the sound coming through them is better. I guess that doesnt apply to gaming headsets because they all sound bad. This one is a particularly bad offender because at first they sound very good with crisp sound and a decent amount of detail coming through them until you realize that anything under about 60-80 hz is completely absent. You dont really realize it until you sit and intentionally listen to music to hear how they sound. I would be ok with that if they were around $120-150 but at $270 the sound quality on these is absolutely unacceptable. Theyre about on par with a pair of $50 bluetooth headphones but they put a boom mic and rgb so they can charge almost 6x that price. I returned these and for the same price as this I order a sennheiser pxc 550-ii currently on sale for $170 for music and a soundcore life tune xr for $100 to use on my pc. Both of these headphones blow the corsair completely out of the water in terms of sound quality, they're also better in terms of features too. If you actually care about sound quality and absolutely need a gaming headset for some reason don't buy these. Instead get a cheaper gaming headset for gaming and spend the rest of your money on a proper set of headphones. I bought these based on the raving reviews on youtube and other platforms but those people couldn't be more wrong. I thought this would fill the role of a gaming headset and good quality headphones for music but its just as bad as any other gaming headsets that are a third of the price of this.

The all in one headset. 4 connections 1 headset.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you need one headset for everything this is it, have great sound, and positional audio, however I can not main this on pc, I just find my other headphones slightly more comfortable, I do really like it for console gaming although you can’t change the audio profile for it, it’s just nicer to be untethered when playing on console. Mic quality is insane, can almost compare to my usb mic connected to my pc, overall a solid buy, even though it’s a bit pricey, recommended to a friend and he loves them.

Quality headset
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfy, great sound (especially with dolby atmos enabled), no issues with bluetooth connectivity, very comfy. About twice the price of my old HyperX Cloud 2 (when on sale) but worth it imo.

Amazing Headset

I ourchased it while it was on sale and I also used a certificate to further reduce the price. The sound quality is awesome and i really enjoy using the Bluetooth connection to my phone while gaming on my PC/Playstation/Switch/XBox.

Noise cancelation is awsome
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My current gaming setup, it could use a bit more bass but overall it gets the job done. Noise cancelation is awesome I have 3 kids running around so the house does get a little noisy when I have these one the noise doesn't phase me

Great Buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exceeding my expectations. Very crisp audio perfect for FPS gaming. No need for any extra tuning. Straight out the box gives an exceptional performance. Only down side when using wireless does not have far range. Going into the kitchen which is 1 wall away from computer will disconnect constantly.

One of the Best Wireless Gaming Headset.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really good wireless Gaming Headset for PC. Was debating this or the Artic Steel Series Pro Wireless but decided to go with these due to the price. Was not disappointed. Headset feels snug and the audio sounds amazing when you enable Surround Sound in the Windows 10 App.

The worst-best headset?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive used the regular Corsar virtuoso for about 4 years straight with no issue whatsoever. When I saw these, I instantly liked the look of the updated design. I bought these for use at work and gaming and quickly noticed the flaws everyone was talking about with this specific model. On the standard Virtuoso, the battery life would last me at least 2 days straight. On the XT's and with being charged overnight (8+ hours) the battery literally only lasts 2 hours before just randomly dying on me during a work call. Ive never owned a headset with such poor battery life. Its infuriating for the extra price you pay for this model. My second gripe is the boom mic. It seems very nice and sturdy but is infact very flawed and practically useless. Within a month or two the mechanism within the mute/unmute button gives out and becomes jammed inside of the mic with no way to open it up and fix it. It was a fight with Corsair to have them send a replacement for the boom mic as they originally told me they wanted me to buy a new one for $20 + shipping. After convincing them to send me a new one at no charge, the new mic broke down with the same issue, within a month or two (again) making it near impossible to mute/unmute my mic in between calls. When you work from home taking calls like I do, fighting with the mic like this is unacceptable. Where I give the headset points is its ability to pair with multiple devices through various different methods and its aluminum design seems very premium. Its just ashame that the quality doesnt flow throughout the entire product.

I miss it already
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ear cup plastic tab will break, it's not ideal, but you can order a replacement on ebay for <$20. My dog knocked it off my desk & broke the boom mic, so I had to get a replacement. In the interim, I purchased a logitceh Pro X2 which is "comparable." It isn't. The feature I loved that I didn't expect? The ability to connect to my cell phone via Bluetooth while still being connected to the computer, so I can play a game & listen to music on my phone, take a call, whatever. It may seem like a weird thing to love, to miss, but once you use it a bit, jamming out to some 80's rock while flying virtually, you'll understand.

Great Sound but difficult setup on Windows 11
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the way everything sounds and the ability to connect to my computer and phone at the same time is amazing! I love being able to listen to or watch a video on my phone while I am waiting to load into the match and still hear both my pc and my phone. The only issue I had is with setting everything and getting both the mic input and audio output settings working at the same time. It's either a port issue on my end or a device or iCue issue with Windows 11. After updating to the latest version of iCue from the Corsair website and deleting some old app data files, everything appears to be working fine.

Great sound and comfort
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headset from Corsair. I just miss the ability to flip up the microphone piece to mute the mic rather than having to reach up and hit a button on it. Other than that, the quality and comfort are amazing. Best sounding headset I've ever owned
