As someone who has the steelseries headset I will say this, at first the "ski goggle" strap is super duper comfy and feels great, but after 6 months- 1 year, that strap gets worn out and becomes very loose, so much so that that solid aluminium band rests directly onto your head, which is not comfortable at all. This is something that reviews are never going to point out because it takes long term use for this to become an issue, just a heads up to everyone

[@ApplicableTech]

Thank you for this. Ill pin the comment :)

[@peekay120]

@@ApplicableTech No problem at all, great video btw, you do a good job looking at more than just technical specs and such

[@Shexter17]

the skii google band is replacable though right? so if this issue comes up a simple replacement of the band should fix it right?

[@peekay120]

@@Shexter17 Yeah, you can get replacement bands, though I have never seen them in a store in my country, despite the headset being purchasable in a bunch of different stores, and even though the band can be replaced, I still think that its something that people should take into account when choosing a headset, knowing that your headset is going to require a replacement band every 6 to 12 months is fairly important.

[@TheYoungOne-iv9yv]

I think that is a much better solution when it comes to durability. With most other headphones, the padding cover starts to strip and can become worn out as well and is not as easy to change if you can at all. You can replace the ski strap for just $10USD - $15USD.

[@MaddVirus_]

Let us not forget that the Corsair Virtuoso Sounds/mic is x10 better when playing threw the USB. Virtuoso also has a power-saving mode, so you never have to turn it off. Virtuoso has a voice feedback option, and you can turn off the RGB in the software. The chat-to-game mix is done automatically threw the software.

[@josephgittos3787]

you say software is that a mobile app or pc/Mac software or do you have a Playstation app, thats the only thing thats putting me off the corsair, love the look and the mic sounds amazing but the amount of time I adjust my Sony gold chat/game volume esp when playing war zone when friends are chatting and I am trying to hear footsteps.

@AltijdFrank I got the Virtuoso but sold it after 4 months because the lack of headband padding + its heavy weight left an unbearable pain on my head.

[@OutsiderMoonie]

The voice and in game volume is actually controlled through the software which may seem like a negative but definitely still an all around good headset not to mention the virtuoso will last you many years where as the Arctis will inevitably wear out after about a year of daily use

[@the_gartender]

I've been using Arctis headphones for years now, I find that the ski goggle fabric leaves less "headset hair" than other headsets I've used. Also, I replaced the default foam ear cuffs with the leather ones you can buy on the SteelSeries website, and my ears have been happier for it. Sometimes they can get a little hot in the summer but switching back to the original cuffs for a few days or so is easy and no big deal.

Personally, I've owned the Arctis Pro for almost about a year now, they aren't that different from the Arctis 7's. In the video, he pointed out how there are plastic parts on the Arctis which has become a major issue for me. Currently, the plastic part where the aluminum hook connects to the earcup has actually cracked and has gotten worse since I've noticed it, making me worry about it snapping off completely. Also, many of my other friends who own the Arctis Pro also have experienced cracking on the headset in the same area (a total of 3 other people excluding myself experiencing this). The Arctis has been very good to me; however, it was just disappointing that I've only had it for a year and possibly might need to replace it. Nevertheless, great video. I've had my eyes on the Corsair Virtuoso even before I got the Arctis and it was very convenient for you to compare the two.

[@Nexai-]

I appreciate the thorough review and definitely gave a like. I was looking for this pairing comparison since I own the Arctis Wireless Pro. I've been using them for a couple of years now and the utility of the swappable battery is the main appeal for me since I'm always editing or making calls. The issue with the Arctis headsets in general though that led me to look for this, is the lifespan of its build quality. No matter how much I baby these the point where the band meets the earcups always wears down since it's plastic. This generally takes anywhere from 6-12 months with daily usage. It's a known issue on the subreddit and SteelSeries just keeps replacing the headset without any concern for improving the durability. I like the robust sound and mic quality of the Virtuoso from your testings. I do use a custom equalizer setting for my Arctis Pro but I'm going to give the Corsair a try. While I appreciate SteelSeries' commitment to replacing them for me each time I'm sick of not having a headset from anywhere from 4-6 weeks while they deal with it.

[@OutsiderMoonie]

I would recommend the Corsair Virtuoso RGB XT. They have the Dolby Atmos and the added bluetooth function and you can pair both PC and smartphone at the same time

[@ccava5860]

Great video! I went with the Virtuoso after pairing your opinion with my own research. On a totally unrelated note...you missed your casting call for Rasputin.

[@xorkon]

For compatibility I think you should have done more research, for the Corsair Virtuoso, the Slipstream wireless dongle can connect up to 3 supported devices at the same time, and it works with cellphones without 3.5mm jack if connected via USB type-c to type-c cable (not included). Regarding RGB lighting, you can turn it off in the Corsair iCUE software if you find no use for it, keep in mind though that many gamers do like having that choice. For gamers and streamers, mic quality and sound quality are two of the most important aspects of a headset, which as you had pointed out, Corsair Virtuoso beats the Steelseries Arctis 7, and not just by a little, they are actually in two different class when it comes to sound (in/out). I think you put too much weight on the ChatMix game/chat audio feature of the Arctis 7 because popular voice chat apps such as Discordhas built-in attenuation settings allowing you to set and automatically lower the volume of other applications when someone is speaking, Windows 7 and later also has sound settings to automatically lower or even mute other apps when you use Skype or other voice channel apps so you don't really need a physical game/chat balance dial like the one on Arctis 7. Yes it is nice to have quick access to adjusting the game/chat balance, but it shouldn't be so heavily weighted in your scale.

[@ApplicableTech]

Thank you for the feedback Stephen!! I don't necessarily disagree with what you're saying... The Arctis 7 didn't win only because of the chat to game mixer. Both headsets finished on an even keel after the 6 rounds but the Arctis 7 has a feature that I believe most people want. I appreciate that this can be done within Icue software on the Virtuoso but that requires a lot more effort that simply moving a dial - at the price Corsair charge, I would have expected the feature to be accessible without having to open software. automated software such as windows can often completely silence the game while friends are talking and ultimately is quite annoying. Discord has implemented the feature very well but cannot be done on the fly. Another massive factor for me is comfort - The Arctis 7 is by far and away one of the comfiest headsets on the market while the virtuoso is definitely not. The Virtuoso does have a lot going for it such as the exceptional mic (especially on the SE) and Audio (until the level is above 35% at which point the massive drivers seem to get a bit messy and lose precision) I have taken your feedback on board Stephen and will add additional emphasis on the capabilities of the first party software in future headset reviews and comparisons. I genuinely appreciate that you have taken the time to give well thought out, solid constructive feedback.

I'm late to the party, but I would also mention, and it'll probably fall under features, but apparently in practical use (according to LTT's headset roundup) the Arctis 7 has excellent range on the wireless, and the Virtuoso quite a short one (despite claiming 60ft).

Sorry for my late reply. It was the out of the box sound from the mic - recorded on OBS and the audio level was increased by +3Db to level/normalise the audio with the rest of the vid.

Great comparison mate, great quality standard. I'm finding that my Void headset pinched quite a bit and gives one hell of an ear ache so I'm looking to upgrade from them, these are the 2 contenders. The sound quality of the virtuoso is amazing but does it eventually cause the pinching sensation and attached earache after a while?
