      i laughed too because i have the sennheiser gsp550 which are open back wired headphones and the mic is actually amazing. I bought a pc cable for them (the pink and green 3.5mm cable) so i can run them through my creative soundblasterx ae-5 soundcard which makes them alot louder (they were a little too quiet for my liking) anyways long story short, they look pretty much identical to those sennheiser headphones except they have a wire and when he said "who's head is this shape?" i was like "mine" lmao

I play COD Warzone and coms are just clear to my team and sounds amazing. the only downfall about it is comfort, if you have a big head like me..it might get a tad painful behind my earlobes after 2 hours of gaming. Other than that, they are built like a tank and looks stealthy and classy. 9/10 i would say. Love them

    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.

    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.

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.

      @@GreenByte7 I actually have m40x and I can quite tell the difference in quality compared to other headsets I tried, and these are wired so bitrate is based on device you're playing it from and most people can't tell difference when changing bitrate to better than default and these are a lot better headphones than the ones in the video. 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. Actually why are we really talking about sound quality on *wireless GAMING* headset when 300$ wireless gaming headsets are worse than 100$ wired headphones in sound quality

    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.

  • @AJRohrer

    Jay, have you checked out the Audio Technica ATH-G1WL? I've been testing a few wireless headsets lately and these are the only ones I've found that have as good a mic as the Virtuoso. They are also more comfortable for me and have no software at all to control them. Might be worth giving them a try. I keep going back and forth between the Virtuoso and the G1WL. Biggest complaint for me with the virtuoso is they push on the top of my head and are quite uncomfortable. Have a new pad I'm going to try adding the the Virtuoso to see if that helps.
    Others I've tested
    Steelseries Arctis 7 (most comfortable but mic was very compressed and the bass response was poor while listening)
    Blackshark v2 Wireless (better bass response and overall sound than the Arctis 7 and a slightly fuller mic sound)

    The coverings on my H60 headset came off after 2 weeks and I had to reinstall them. Now they are cracked (after only a year or so) where the ear cup attaches to the headband and I'm looking for a replacement. I was considering these but seeing that seam worries me.

    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.

    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. Give these a bit of power and play with the EQ settings. They are quickly gowing to be my favorite headphones.
