I’ve seen the normal ones but have never seen these espresso ones until I found them at a swapmeet. Why did they stop making them?

I'm moving my whole setup from Razer to Corsair and looking at getting a pair Virtuoso's but I am confused about the differences between the three options. I know I can look at the tech specs but I'm dumb so can someone explain the basic differences please?

I will post my EQ presets below when I finish up this post.

So I have had my corsair virtuoso since the beginning of April. I was looking for a really good sounding wireless headset that was built with SOME quality. I've used Razer Nari's, Artic pro wireless's, and some other corsair products. To summarize how I feel about the Virtuoso's, I really like them and ill probably buy another when these inevitably break, however they do have their problems.

Ill start with the microphone quality, amazing. One of the best mics I've heard from ANY gaming headset, I'm sure there are some that could go against it in terms of quality but really really nice microphone. The side tone is a really good touch also better than most headsets I've tried that offer side tone. The sound quality of the headset themselves out of the box was pretty bad not gonna lie. I spent the first 2 weeks trying to narrow down a good preset. The one I'm gonna post below is what I have been using for awhile so if yall have any recommendations on adjusting it please comment on the link ill be posting, but it sounds really good. Bass can be underwhelming unless you got this thing turned up. One of my favorite games to play with these is Insurgency: Sandstorm. Game is focused on immersive gameplay and boy does this headset help deliver. that being said it still does bump when it comes to music. Build quality is really good, super sturdy and high quality material these things will take quite the gamer to break em. Another cool feature I've found is the auto turn off when in wireless mode, and when you pick them back up they automatically turn on. Not the coolest feature but I am excited to see where they take that in the future.

my complaints are mainly with the software. I've encountered many bugs that randomly cause either the wireless dongle to stop connecting to the headset until you fix it with a forced update. The sidebone will randomly stop working sometimes usually when I turn them back on after while if I left it on mute. This hasn't been occurring as much lately but I thought it may be important to point out.

I'm sure I have left many things out, comment below if you got a question or your own complaints/complements about it, I'm sure it'll help out anyone thinking about buying this product! :-)

I have owned the "Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB Wireless SE Espresso" headset for a little under two years and I really like the audio quality and mic.

Battery life has always been pretty terrible for me, like it wont charge fully always. Also after two years the faux leather has totally disentegrated because of an unusually hot and sweaty summer, but apart from that its the best headset I have tried.

I am wondering if the XT holds up better over the years? Are they made of the same material as the SE Expresso version?

Can long time owners pitch in with their experience?
