This is Such as AMAZING HEADSET!!! Def Worth the Money. Bluetooth and Wireless Connections!!

3.5 It was pretty good nice and metal wish the charge lasted longer

Decent but not great. Eat muffs were big and uncomfortable

Returned and purchased the Logitech GPro instead. Did not care for the fit of the headphones while on. The sounds also appeared to be less quality than the Logitechs, but im not audiophile.

Mic picks up everything especially if a mouse farts down the hallway(No noise cancellation). The battery life is next to existence. There's no off switch so you can turn it off when you're not using it It just goes into hibernation mode. And if you have a cat and it moves it kicks back on change the battery. I would not recommend this to anybody. Spend a few more bucks and get the better headset

Waste of money, nearly $300 and they sound awful and the audio skips over wireless connection only plus is the microphone is slightly above average

They have a very good sound and are very practical, good quality.

Its decent. Not too much differnet then the Se version.

Love these gaming headphones! Great quality and comfort.

Best headset I’ve ever owned. Love the quality and feel.

Taking back today. They do sound good but they cut out 3 foot from my PC. and the ears cuff are really thin to me. wished they would of worked because they look good but you need more then looks

Look, feel, and sound great. set-up was easy breezy

These things are buttcheeks. Built poorly, but audios good.

In no world should a $300 headset have such horrible and fragile ear cups. I've only had my headset for 4 months and I already have to replace one of them. Thankfully, I'm always prepared for things like this, but seriously.. your flagship headset needs work. I don't recommend this headset unless you're like me and buy all your peripherals through Corsair and only like using one controller software to lessen the load on your PC.

PROS: - Very premium feel and build - Excellent mic audio quality - Amazing in-game audio when paired with Dolby Atmos - Can be paired to your PC and phone at the same time - Answer calls and still hear game audio at the same time! - Detachable mic with LED to show the mic is on - USB-C for charging/wired mode - Headset pouch included - Can be used with USB cable or headphone cable CONS: - Braided USB cable rubs against shirt and is audible in headset - Music sounds good on PC when you use the equalizer, but not on mobile == BUILD QUALITY == This is hands-down the most premium feeling headset I've used. It is solid and has some serious weight to it, which is weird since it feels very light on your head when you're using it. I can wear this all day without any problem. I appreciate that Corsair includes a headset pouch, but if I was traveling I would prefer to place this in a more study case. While at my desk, I just leave it on a headset stand when not in use or when it's charging. == SETUP == I was having some issues with audio quality when I updated my iCUE software to support the new Virtuoso. Audio (both music and in-game effects) sounded REALLY bad for such a high-quality headset. After uninstalling and then re-installing the updated iCUE, the issue was resolved. Audio quality was great and what I expected. It might have just been my experience, but I would suggest re-installing iCUE just as a precaution. == PAIRING == You can pair the Virtuoso with your PC and your phone at the same time. I use the "slipstream" USB dongle to pair the headset to my PC, and use Bluetooth to connect to my phone. What's really amazing is that I can answer phone calls while gaming, and I can STILL HEAR the game audio in the background of my call! == GAME AUDIO == This is really a gaming headset first, so I want to go over my gaming experience first. While the Virtuoso doesn't have active noise-cancelling, the noise isolation from the earcup material works great! Corsair recommends using Dolby Atmos, and I HIGHLY suggest you listen and install it. In-game audio is really good without it, but for the most immersion you really want Dolby Atmos as well. I'm able to more accurately able to determine how far away an opponent is and what direction they're moving when playing CoD or OW. The new Resident Evil is just SOOO much better with this level of immersion! == MUSIC QUALITY == This is really my only complaint about the Virtuoso, the audio quality feels VERY lacking. When I'm using the equalizer within iCUE, my music sounds great when I'm using my desktop PC. I can customize it based on what I want to listen to. It's a minor annoyance that I need to disable Dolby Atmos to use the equalizer, but if I want to just listen to some music while getting some work done, it's worth it. The problem is that the equalizer doesn't let you save the settings to the headset, so when I pair it with my phone to listen to music, the quality is quite poor in comparison to when listening to music on my PC. == MIC QUALITY == Corsair advertises the microphone as "broadcast-grade", and I really can't argue with them on that claim. My friends said my mic sounded good in-game, but what was really impressive was how well the mic performed in virtual meetings. I actually have a "professional" headset that I used for work, but it's not nearly as comfortable to wear as the Virtuoso. Thankfully, Corsair did such an amazing job with the mic, I now use the Virtuoso for both gaming AND work. == BATTERY LIFE == The Virtuoso is advertised as having up to 15 hours of battery life. I'm getting very close to this number, but it's really going to vary depending on what you're doing. On days I pair to both my PC and phone, battery life will take a small hit. HOWEVER, you can charge the headset and use it at the same time. I'm able to use a USB-C charging block from my phone to charge the headset, while it's still paired with my PC and phone. When the battery starts to get low, you will hear a "battery low" message in the headset. Just connect the USB-C cable, and you can keep playing/working. == BOTTOM LINE == While I won't be using the Virtuoso to just listen to music from my phone, it's hands-down the best gaming headset to keep at my desk. In-game spatial audio is amazing, I can pair it with my PC and phone at the same time so I can answer calls while still playing, and I can use the iCUE equalizer to customize the audio quality when listening to various genres of music at my desk. While the headset feels heaving when holding in your hands, it's SUPER comfortable to wear all day.

Maybe I received a bad set was my first reaction. Then, I read other reviews that described the static in one or the other channels appearing after a few weeks of casual use. My grandson noticed this happening after 2 days! I have had great experiences with their case fans and other components and peripherals but will not buy their headphones again to the tune of $270.00 and expect the same quality.

I just bought this headset after my HS70 Pro is looseing battery life. Excited to try out my new headset i put them on and they feel horrible to much padding at the top feels like its going to bounce off my head and the round ear cups feel very odd and not right...didnt even get them connected to my PC returned them after trying them on.

Terrible dont buy mic sucks works 20 percent of the time

The Virtuoso XT is one of the ultimate premium headset options. When you get into this level of premium among gaming headsets, they start to get similar as far as features go. This headset is an exception, however. My favorite features are the separate dual volume control, Dolby Atmos, the premium build, and mic quality. Because this headset offers both its proprietary connection option (slipstream) and Bluetooth, you can connect to two different devices at once. For example, I have the slipstream dongle on my PC with my phone connected via Bluetooth. This allows you to get notifications off your phone while playing games. This is important for me because there are calls I can’t miss. Also, you can listen to music from your phone while still getting audio from your game on your PC. Just nice to have this kind of flexibility. On the headset itself, there are two volume tools. One controls your slipstream volume, the other controls your Bluetooth volume. That makes it easy to manage all your audio sent to the headset. Dolby Atmos is pretty fantastic when I’m 100% sure it's working. The problem is there is no sure-fire indication that you are listening with Dolby Atmos. For example, I play lots of Overwatch and it supports Atmos and even has a setting for it. After downloading Dolby Access and connecting my headset, I played Overwatch in Atmos and it was awesome. The sound is unique and a different experience than what I was used to. Made footsteps easier to hear. The build quality of this headset is mindboggling when you’ve used as many “premium” headsets as I have. Most are made out of mostly plastic and have many low-quality feeling parts. This headset feels insanely well built. You will not be prepared to understand how solid they feel until you hold them in your hands and just see how much metal there is here. Just incredible. For the longest time, gaming headsets have been absolutely terrible as far as build quality goes. These buck that trend. The microphone on this headset is a thousand miles ahead of ANY on the market. The only way you’re going to get a better quality mic on a gaming headset would be to buy a quality standalone mic. This headset’s mic cannot be compared to anything on the market, I can’t wait to see what this causes other manufacturers respond with as far as mic quality because this is head and shoulders above others. Now, there is one negative to this headset. All that wonderful high-end quality feel from the metal has a drawback. It's quite heavy. The headset does a poor job of really hugging your head. When you lean forward with these headsets they want to slide forward over your forehead. They get a bit uncomfortable to wear when doing multiple-hour sessions because the weight of the headsets doesn’t feel properly managed. The earpads just aren’t thick enough. If the earpads were thicker, then the headset could lockdown on your head more and be more comfortable. While this is an important factor to consider, it doesn’t outweigh the positives this headset offers. Absolutely love this, and don’t see them getting unseated for the best headsets for a while.

Ears are hurting after one gaming session which also leads to tightening in the head. Not eye glass friendly.
