      I'm also wondering how they're simultaneously not that comfortable despite the fact that he forgets they're on his head. Every review I've seen has said they're comfortable and more than good enough for gaming. I already have nice music headphones, but I want something that is comfortable to wear for hours, and these seem to nail it

    I own this headset. I'm actually currently using them. Sound wise I actually prefer them to the GSP 670 for in game audio positioning. You need to tweek the EQ settings though. All of the stock settings are pretty bad. A quick google search will give you good equalizer settings (my EQ pattern looks almost like a big V). The earcups are very comfortable and have a nice material but do get a tad hot after a while. For me the only thing holding this headset back from being an amazing wireless headset is the overall comfort. Honestly, they are comfortable enough but I think you understate how they aren't the most comfortable. I have a larger head and don't have the same problem some people have (apparently a lot of people find the top headband less than comfortable). For my head I have the side adjustments on notch 7 (They go from 0-10). When I first bought them the clamping force also was too tight but give them a good bend and honestly they will be fine. What I do find though is that the headset just seems too heavy. Like honestly my neck muscles start being sore after a while.

    Thanks for the honest review, i recently picked up a set after rebuilding a new desk setup as they appeared promising and well built. I used Logi G930's(finally fell apart) and AudioTechnica M50x's at the desk for many years as reference, nothing fancy but i liked them for casual use. I use a Wharfedale Diamond/Marantz combo for my 2.0 and 5.2.2 HT/Console gaming use. I was involved in 12v and DIY with raw drivers/enclosure building for 12 years before children came. Now its B&W in my volvo S90 and my wifes Aviator Revel Audio implementation on the road. After years playing with Scans, Morel, Seas drivers i'm now a has-been but i love good sound, specially at decent price points. You know what? I feel these are GREAT for the $140 or so you can get the non-Se for . I think at this price point you might be able to find lighter, more comfortable sets to wear, but perhaps not the have the total package (Overall Sound/Mic/Build quality) these offer. Not to mention in this category , these stage very well, great neutral tonal quality and are unoffensive. I agree they are not so awesome they are end game for audiophiles but they are certainly in the conversation with pricier 'gaming headsets' for whatt it offers. I'm actually now very curious to what these sound like for music off a solid DAC. I feel this is a great all-arounder that would put a smile on many gamer's faces and that sound pretty dang good for music.

    Because in COD particularly, the 7.1 sounded broken while going through the menu pages in PC. Still haven't tried other games yet. Need your experience in this cause I feel mine kinda broken. But while Windows Sonic enabled, it worked out perfectly.

    I’m using the Siberia 840, which is a great headset imo (a bit expensive, but I was lucky to get them for just $140)
    I’m just not sure whether to “upgrade” or not. They sound good and all, just feel like they’ve started to loose quality. I never use the mic, as it’s horrible. And I never use the station. Only time I’ve really used it was to setup the profiles in order to use it on my PC. And the detachable mic is really cool as I’ve bought a modmic wireless for when I record videos in VR.
    This headset is interesting, and if you’ve ever tried the Siberia 840’s, how do they compare to the these? Thank you for the amazing video, you’re hella underrated for the quality you produce.

    I've had these for about 5 or 6 months, and overall I can recommend them. For a wireless headset the audio is pretty good and the mic is great for my needs. I have however had some hardware issues. The main one is that the audio wheel is too stiff and when I turn it, the windows audio change is almost entirely random (meaning that the same turn sometimes adds for example 6 volume and sometimes 20, quite annoying). The other issue is that my left ear cup's 180° swivel has become very loose. When I first unboxed them, the turn was nice and firm. The right one is still good, but for some reason the left is turning with almost no resistance, also very annoying. There is no screw that would tighten the fit, so no way I can fix it myself. I assume I just got a bad model. But again, overall they're a good buy.

    I just picked up a pair of the Corsair Void Elite Wireless from a local shop for ~$80.00 USD. They sound pretty ok to good for gaming and watching Netflix/Amazon Videos. Decent range. It’s hard for me to justify spending much more than that on a set of headphones unless you really really need very good, accurate, no distortion sound. And for that application, spending less than $3-400 is wasting your money IMHO.

    I just picked up this headset about a week ago. I agree with everything you have said. This is my first wireless headset, I'm coming off of about 8 years with a pair of Astro A40s. I don't know if it the Virtuosos would sound better wired yet but in wireless mode they sound pretty bad.. They are SO tinny and unnatural sounding compared to my A40s. Maybe that's cause I'm used to an open back?? Messing with the EQ helps but they are still give me a sound I can only compare with a school intercom. Other then I do really appreciate the build quality and the functionality of the mic and easy plug and play wireless. Great video, keep it up. I just subed cause of this video.

    Dude, nice quality in video! I personally have been enjoying these for about a month now, and man I do love me a properly priced pair of headsets, especially wireless, now.
    To understand, I bought my first wireless headset back b/w 2011-13....this was probably at the beginnings of wireless gaming headsets, cuz these ones I got back then were absolute garbage (Afterglow). The USB Dongle Receiver was trash, and would receive transmission interferences if near other cables, inputs, etc (would either crackle, hum, or just drone loudly). On top of that, its frame was cheap plastic, shedding light-plastic coating around the earcups, *extremely* bright LEDs that had very odd brightness settings (i'd turn them off anyways), and a house phone quality mic (AKA: was trash). Those were $80...they were the first and last wireless headphones I ever wanted to purchase...
    ...until now.
    I've seen the trends and spikes in wireless gaming headsets, and had a friend buy a new pair of Wireless Steel Series Arctis 7s, and said the audio was stupendous and the delay times were seamless. This made me want to go an extra few bucks for the detachable mic, RGB, and Corsair pairing with my PC....and voila: here we are.
    Great vid, again man! Keep us all aware, and informed! Cheers!

    I'm using the Philips SHP 9500 with Creatives G6 dac and V-MODA BoomPro Microphone. Excellent sound and the very best price to performance out there, in my opinion. The headphone by themselves are very good, but missing something? With the G6, their special and with the V-Moda boom pro mic just take the experience to another level. The headset is under $100. The G6 DAC is under $150, and the mic is under $30. My only issue is with the "open Back" headset design. When I'm Jamming to music or playing games, my wife says she can clearly hear them in the next room. I will admit, i play them with the volume higher than most (bad hearing, military), but they are clearly annoying to those NOT listening to them. They are a wired headset and coming from wireless headphones (Corsairs pros), the wire took a lot of getting used to, but the sound is so amazing, even to my deaf ears, I will never go back. My wife will have to pull my setup from my Dead Cold Hands! Great video mate. Tell Claire hi !

    I was hoping this video would answer a specific question that would help me make a purchase in the near future-
    how well does this headset take amplified sound from a DAC? i have a soundblaster X-fi sound card in my PC. it amplifies the sound on analog headsets and it's been honestly pretty amazing. i used it with some headphones i got from F.Y.E a while back ( clearance sale, they ended up being amazing ) .
    now with those F.Y.E headphones and my current PC set up, the bass and sound levels were brain-meltingly amazing. up until they blew out, at least. in fact my question is regarding that- i have this corsair virtuoso headset and for gaming i prefer to use the analog line due to volume and quality (better bass and clarity), however it doesnt seem to perform like those other headphones at max volume. it crackles and sounds like they're going to explode. however i seem to have some experience with this also being because they are not getting enough power. do you know if is this the case?
    the information i was hoping to get from you was how much power and volume can these take from a DAC, as well as how "orgasmic" can music be with them when amplified in that manner. I am considering a DAC purchase for this reason, so if you can help with that and maybe even give a recommendation, that'd be awesome.

    hey GS , im new to the channel. Your content is truly awesome! Ive owned this headset for 4 months too, and i have an issue regarding the Mini-USB Microphone connector, is all jacked up on one side from all the unplugging and plugging in. Ive contacted corsair and They are sending a new headset out to me . I have also had a Popping noise on the mic, and im really big into microphones and the popping Ps to re-create the noise and i cannot recreate this issue. Imo i think the Mini-USB is messing with it. My New one should be here in a week. Just really disapointed because i was the corsair posterboy Lol, I wish but you get what im saying.

    Funny how opinions differ. I just returned my GSP 670 today. To me they sounded pretty average, too average for almost 300€. Also I had lots of distortion on the communication audio, the range is a joke and the build quality is so so (mine had QS issues with the right earcup being way too easy to adjust while the left one was much tighter in the hight adjustment). And when I played a game with it (Hunt Showdown). God, my Hyper X Cloud II sound better and they cost me 80€ and not 300€..
    Not to mention for a wireless headset the Corsair have a really good mic quality! I'll give em a try, can't sound worse to me than the 100€ more expensive Sennheiser.

    I just picked these up a couple of days ago. I read that other people made them even better by replacing the ear pads with Brainwavz Ear Pads. I guess it supposed to be easy to do and no issues what so ever getting this done. I may consider testing this but if you want to test it out and let us know in a video if this made any differences I am sure others would appreciate it. Also headphones and sound is a per person preference. Some people like Beats headphones but not everyone done. Other like Sony but everyone does, as you said on the video. It will come down to someone trying them and see what they think about it. I use to have the ASTRO A40 TR+ MixAmp and they hurt my head for days. Which is why I ended up picking these up.

    The regular (non-SE) version actually has the better mic for anyone interested in them. The range at 60ft is pretty much the best you can get. 20h batter is amazing. The only negative is the RGB which is... worthless and just drains some power if you don't turn it off.

      @Cum in belly button RGB is just style. To me, it's a complete waste and I really dislike it on anything other than a keyboard that has some lighting so you can see it well in the dark. I dislike most RGB but it's so hard to find stuff that doesn't have it.
