    Went to Best Buy and picked up a set after watching this review and they’re everything I wanted in a PC headset. It’s a bummer that the white headset doesn’t come with a carrying bag, but I didn’t plan on leaving my desk with them anyways. They’re subtle with the white and gray but an appropriate amount of flashy with the RGB. It also helps that you can do a solid color if you don’t really want the whole rainbow transition thing. I like that in one headset you can do USB wireless, wired USB and 3.5mm headphone jack. Leaving me with a lot of options for use. Not sure what the mic quality is like though because I use an external microphone. They also feel nonexistent on your head, my last headset gave me a bit of a headache if I used it longer than 2 hours.

    Honestly, because we are talking wireless, with most the quality emphasis being on the mic; I would like to see a comparison with the newest ModMic wireless mic.
    Because, honestly; you can use any headphone you want then, wireless or not. It's also placeable on either side of your head and they are priced ok. I know people swear by the wired versions, so it might be worth a shot.

      I COMPLETELY agree - in fact, I would like to see a comparison of, say, the "top 3 wireless gaming headsets"(or just whatever Jay has experience with at least) VS a premium set of over-ear headphones + a ModMic(the total of the 'phones + Mic being similar to the cost of the gaming headsets of course)
      Would be VERY interesting...

      I already had the Sony WH1000XM3 for my daily commute. I use those with a mod mic wireless to fantastic results.
      I get that my set up is a lot more expensive than most "gaming" headsets, but I got the mod mic wireless several months after the headphones.
      I think the primary appeal of the mod mic is you can use it with whatever headphones you like. wired, wireless, cheap, expensive. Everyone's head and ears are different. I think it's better to get good quality individual products rather than trying to find an all in one solution that checks all the boxes.
      literally the same difference as buying pre-built or boutique PCs vs building your own.

    Looks like these are made by Audio Technica and if they are then that's good. They look similar to DSR7BT and DSR9BT which I own. Both 7 and 9 are ear cooking experiences at long extended hours of use. Very detailed sound which I use them mostly for music. In a gaming setting it gives you a nice sense of space and environment with no ridiculous amount of bass to muddy up your experience.

    Hey Jay, I feel like there's quite a bit of info you got wrong here. It's almost as if you didn't even look at any of the technical specs listed on their website. For starters:
    Wireless and Auxilarry support 20hz-48,000hz in 16 bit audio, but while connected in USB mode, you get 20hz-96,000hz in 24 bit audio. The microphone is also slightly different on the SE version. The non SE version has a 4mm capsule size while the SE version has 9.5mm size. The sensitivity on the non SE is -40dB and on the SE version is -42dB.

      @Dux Ad Regnum If you're lucky and have good hearing and are 10 year old. If you are let's say 20 year old then you're lucky if you can hear up to 17000Hz. Also most audiophile headphones go over 20000Hz(or 20KHz) because if I'm not wrong the end of frequency range sounds a bit worse, and if that part is the part you don't hear then it sounds good across all frequencies.

What matters is mostly driver quality, frequency response impedance and similar stuff, less important is bitrate and quality of media you are playing(if it's average MP3 320kpbs or if it's better(flac) and not some super shit 150+kpbs), on wireless ones which usually have a lot inferior sound for bigger price it can make small difference but usually not important.

    It would be awesome if a dev team at Corsair would invite you to come design and test a headset with them. After trying out and owning several of the headsets that you reviewed, I have a feeling that if you got together with Corsair and pointed them in the right direction that the "100% of what [you're] looking" for would be the same as my 100%.
    Also, I'd be curious as to what you think of the Arctis 7s.

    Just wanna give anyone with super large heads a "heads up" that the virtuoso line is pretty much a no go in terms of size. Every other headphone I own fits me on the largest headband setting (V moda M-100*just barely* , SHP9500, AKG K553 MKII, Sivga SV021, and Soundcore Q30) but these are nowhere near large enough even on the largest headband adjustment. I had to return them because of this.

    So far my favorite headphones. I use the 3.5 when I am on a DAC for audio production mostly. With asio4all/asiopro the wireless works well if I want to turn to my keyboard and just play some music. .... So alot of people are having the issue of continuous red flashing, I have been having that myself. If it dose that, it's in boot mode. The driver board is still getting a charge. The mute button has another use as well. Fix for those of you having this flashing issue (requires you to take the charger side earpiece off). Tube that to see how unless you know. Take that sides cover off, flip the set to wired, hold the mute button for about 15 seconds, unplug the battery. Plug the battery back in and you will be back in business. As Jay was saying which I think most of us can agree with is that software should be looked into a bit further. Regardless, still a great headset.

    Speed review:
    Recently made the transition from wired to wireless headsets.
    Love the freedom, can't go back.
    Bought 3 pairs over a few weeks to try and find my perfect ones. Those 3 were: Corsair Virtuoso, Logitech G533, Arctis Pro Wireless
    Virtuoso: Awful. Comfort was terrible. Connection issues. Lowest wireless range. Sound was bad without custom EQ. Only good thing was the mic (very very good), and how they look.
    G533: Pretty good. Amazing for the price. Super lightweight, comfy ear shaped cups. Incredible battery life. Best wireless range. Mic - okay. Build felt a bit cheap. Best bang for your buck.
    Acrtis Pro wireless: Very good (but very expensive). Tons of useful features. Retractable mic (new for me but I love it). Great comfort. Good battery life with interchangeable batteries. Great wireless range. No connection problems. Mic - pretty good.
    All EQs needed tweaking. I changed the ear cups on the Virtuoso and Arctis from the stock ones to a pair of 'Brainwavz' (bought from amazon) which greatly improved the comfort on both.
    TLDR: Virtuoso sucks, look elsewhere

    The Corsair Virtuoso are really nice. Took a bit to break in the ear cups but they feel great after a few gameing sessions.
    I found the USB C port a "GOD send" I have a USB C 15ft cable for VR and hooking it up to these I can listen to audio in amazing quality Wireless seems lacking so I dont think it is just your hearing.

    They usually break a little higher up for me, in my experience. The only headphones I've ever had that broke were some Razer headphones. They crack right on the length adjuster, cause of the thin plastic, and because they sit so tight to your head that you have to be extremely careful to not ruin them. Went through 4 Krakens in a row, getting them replaced everytime they broke untill I just got enough and went with the standard Voids, untill my cable eroded somehow, and then went with Elites, which by the way..
    DO NOT BUY THE ELITES. These are the most miserable feckin things I've ever owned. They turn off on their own at random, even though the software indicates they're at full power, and you've made extra extra extra sure that the option for them to automatically turn off, is unselected.
