    Headset will be plugged in all night pick it up and the second I unplug it says battery critical. Looking around this isn't a one off issue so something is definitely wrong with the design.

    Dont buy for xbox or console. They are trash, picks up every sounds, even your friends in party chat. It is a nuisance, noone wants to play with you because of the abnoxious echo. Reconsider your life thoughts.

      Hello Worthless,

      Sorry to hear that you were getting echos. Did you have the headset connected via the 3.5mm jack to your controller? Could you ensure that the connection is secure and that there were no obstructions within the ports? If you're still having issues, please feel free to reach out to our support team: support.corsair.com

    I've had many corsair products in the past, so I was excited and enthusiastic when I bought these. For some reason I was bedazzled by the unboxing process. The headset itself looks really sleek and fancy, and I like how you can use it as an everyday set of headphones as well as a gaming headset by putting in or pulling out the microphone. The mic itself has great quality, but it doesn't allow you to hear yourself through the mic. The setup process was a little tricky, and iCUE's updated software didn't really help. In an attempt to make it easier to use, they made it more difficult. I've found myself using the mute button a lot, which is rather convenient. However, the light goes on and off with the voice prompt that you can disable if you'd like, so if you turn it off, you won't know that the mic is off until a few seconds later when the voice prompt would've ended. I would prefer it be immediate. Going forward, the build is awesome! I've found that it is a little heavy, but that's fine. It's very comfortable to wear over an extended period of time, but it falls off rather easily. It doesn't hug to your head all that well, but I've tried my hardest to look past this. For those who've read this far, I don't at all want to give a cutthroat review of these headphones, because there are some aspects that are good, albeit not as many as I'd like for a high end gaming headset. Now comes the killer for me. The bluetooth. It's very off and on, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a pair of speakers I use in addition to my headset, so I like that I don't have to turn them on, they do so automatically. I just switch the audio output and I'm golden. However, for just about any other device, ie a laptop, or a phone, their connectivity is very off and on. That is, IF you can get it connected. I've found myself reaching for my airpods instead of these for their convenience to use and connect with all of my devices. And to my disappointment, my $160 AirPods can do just about everything that these headphones can. They don't get overly loud, so the AirPods can compete well, and the sound quality is about the same. The Virtuoso XT had some big shoes to fill with the hop in price over the SEs, and to be honest, I don't think it was worth it. If you want to get a high end gaming headset like this that can double as an on-the-go headset, you may as well get a cheaper pair of Virtuosos. If you just want a high end headset, get a pair of Astro A50s. For the price they offer versus what you get, I don't see this being a reasonable purchase for many people's lifestyles. Had I not gone on vacation and gone past the 2 weeks to return them, I definitely would've done so. I tried to love them as best I could, but every turn I had they didn't show up as I had wanted them to.

    Not a good buy at all, sound profile is weak, and lifeless, you need to access the app on your computer to tweak the sound, so that means you can have good sound only on PC, which in my book for $270 is a no go.

      Hi Latz,

      So sorry to hear that the mic stopped working so soon, were you able to see if the microphone was properly connected? Also, was the wireless receiver still be properly recognized by your PC?
