Oooooh! I was looking forward to this one!

[@BobbyDazzler490]

Thank you so much for posting, you have convinced me to purchase these headphones in the very near future 🙂

[@jcap8391]

That mic is fire🔥

[@kingclassified8503]

It’s pretty much a stand-alone microphone killer

I WAS THANKFUL THAT I STUMBLED UPON THIS CHANNEL. IT HELPS ME A LOT AND NOW, I THINK, I HAVE CHOSEN MY DREAM HEADSET. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS GAMESKY

It’s literally the perfect headset. Best gaming headset on the market now. It’s so good it rivals a bunch of studio headphones

[@izzmot]

@@kingclassified8503 well im no audiophile but ive got a totally different opinion so that this was not worth to upgrade from a used hyperX cloud flight. not worth the money at all. wired mic is nice but wireless mic is actually embarassingly bad

OH WOW!! What a headset, I need it😍

i just ordered these and cant wait for it... first higher end headset. i have a razer thresher now that ive had for about 5-6 years. super excited for this one thought!

I think testing the mic wirelessly would have been better (both in 2.4 and bluetooth). I also want to mention that holding the mute button on the mic unable or disable your own voice playback in the headset... And I feel like nobody would ever use equalizer profile buttons on the device itself like you suggested

Corsair just did an excelent job here, i have the Virtuoso SE and im gonna buy the XT soon. Corsair have excelent headsets, audio is amazing!

[@imattcore9581]

@@AZjesse1 if you like surround in games, don't buy virtuoso XT, the only good thing on it is the Bluetooth, but there is a problem with this headset, when you connect it to Pc , you have to download Dolby Atmos to have "surround" but when you turn on surround on ICUE or Dolby Atmos ,windows just recognize 2 audio exits, so the audio just got messed up, otherwise, if you turn off surround 7.1 windows start to recognize 8 channels, so the audio get messed up again. There is something wrong with this headset, I've tried 2 of those and I just refound it and got Virtuoso SE Express now . Works fine. No Dolby Atmos which is a garbage in this headset, Corsair ICUE is much much better. And I'm playing just fine.

Wow. Blown away by the mic, holy shit.

[@johnwhiteside6313]

Really like the video, but you should do the mic test with it wirelessly as well and not just using the USB cable as that will make a difference in the mic quality.

[@Moon-D0G]

I'm using at wireless mode always. Honestly my voice is average but after bought these, at valorant and cod, people start to ask me: "how your voice is so nice, what program or headset is that.." bla bla, felt weird and then i recorded my own voice and listened, dude it's top quality. I used logitech g430 like 5 years, this was nice upgrade :D

[@Pyr0t3ch]

Why not do a wireless mic test? When plugged in, there is much less compression. I’m really curious to how it sounds wireless!

[@javietsful]

Same

[@roguemyst1244]

Agreed

[@stoffe2055]

Yeah

[@SirDragonClaw]

It's basically the same. Most people can't even tell a difference from my experience definitely not once it has been compressed for recording or transmission via discord.

[@colorado8382]

I have this headset and I love it 💯 they turn off when you take them off after to long and turn back on after you put it back on your head

[@Pwasercan]

great video. But what aobut comfort? Is the headband tight? Does it put too much pressure on the ears? Does it isolate well?

[@barneythedino4301]

Would it have more battery if they used Bluetooth 5.2? It is also interesting that there is a sacrifice of sound for functionality and specs for some headphones and vice versa.

[@nellylegend7264]

[@WaddupCase]

Thanks for the review! I'm wondering: do any of the hardware buttons let you adjust Game vs. Chat audio? (some headsets like the Sony Inzone H9 have a rocker for this)

[@schizowallflower]

How well do these utilize the PS5's surround sound feature?

[@iKalbano]

Hey so I’ve been gaming for awhile now and have went through some of the best headsets like the Astros A50 and the Artic Wireless Pros but I feel like none of them are giving me the rumble experience like the Sony Pulse Elite. Also you said these Virtuosos don’t have the rumble so what headset would you recommend? Of course I want good quality but I feel like I need that bass rumble when shooting or when things are exploding.

[@drunkendevil]

Do the RGB and Equalizer settings save for wireless or do we they have to remain plugged in?

[@Ericeric-kf1ri]

Can you help me with some info ? I just bought these headphones for my next gen xbox. I was wondering if without a computer will I be able to turn off the sidetone so I can’t hear myself talking in the headset ? Also does the Dolby Atmos work with my xbox Dolby Atmos ? Thanks for the good review

[@zivunknown]

Question: Is audio quality mentioned over wireless connection? Or do they turn into standard 20-20 like everyone else?

[@edgarallenhoe9798]

The one thing I wish they would have is selling these in the espresso color. I really wish I could buy these in that color just because of how clean it looks.

[@regulatedchaotic8164]

Really Good review. Is there any way you could do a review on the new Xbox headphones

[@CorretjerFilms]

I'm on the fence between DAC set ups like Sennheiser GSX 1000 and Steeleseries Pro +DAC. Can the Virtuoso XT compete with DAC'd setups? Wireless has never provided me enough volume power for my liking.

[@ice.3000]

I think DAC + Headset will always be better

[@robbyrockets1]

How would this wireless headset work with lets say an external soundcard like the the Creative G6?

[@Minister34]

Bluetooth is a $100 premium, damn! I think I'll stick with my current virtuoso's but they do look nice

[@andrewalexander9508]

Well the mic and the alu cans of the SE contribute as well, so its more like a $50-70 Premium. But it also has Atmos which the original didn't. I'll pass as well, but if this version was out when I made that purchase last year. I'd have got this one. I ended up getting a bunch of headsets for different jobs after I made a purchase or two to accomplish what this one could have with its dedicated adapter and BT support.

[@kingclassified8503]

They’re also more comfortable, so if your ears are touching the drivers inside of your current virtuoso’s then I would definitely pick this up

[@ghostlandered]

Needed new travel and gaming headset, and these have been great so far. Stoll in the testing phase

[@NyteStalker89]

Sooo I'd like to hear a real mic test from Discord or Teamspeak as both of those are using different audio codecs than just recording samples into recording and editing software.. Every video makes the mic sound amazing and I've heard friends with the headset in discord and ts and they sound like dirt

[@victorlechuga1888]

i bought these but i couldnt pin point shit on apex legends like i could hear footsteps but like all over the place....before these i had the lower end wireless corsair headset and they were amazing and i could hear and pin point certain souds i guess i have to go in and mess with the settings seeing as they dont sound good right out the box so ill try that out.....what are your settings?

Just bought these, read reviews heard they are great, I’m commenting this at the beginning let’s see how I did.

[@diegodeath88]

I loved due to the bluetooth feature, but for battery life and other stuff, I would keep my Virtuoso SE and has a little better battery life.

[@Grasp_]

haha bluetooth is the only reason I didn't get the Virtuoso SE. I thought everything else about it was terrific, but I really want my new headset to be my everything headset (including being out and about, listening to music with bluetooth)

Does Dolby atmos feature works only when plugged or also when using Bluetooth?

[@centuriongreg]

Given how many connection options there are, is it possible to connect to multiple devices at at a time? You mentioned the Switch, and since there's no game chat on the Switch, a headset that I can hook up to my Switch and then connect to my phone or PC with one of the other methods and get sound from both device simultaneously would be nice.

Do you notice any difference in sound quality between the SE's and the XT when dolby is off?

I've watched almost every video you have made but I can't remember if you have ever said or not whether you run the heaphones/earphones you review through a "burn-in" before testing them.
