Hey Folks, I recently acquired a set of virtuoso XTs, and have a couple questions for the community here. These questions are directed to individuals who have actually purchased and used these headsets for an extended period of time.

I am currently trying to decide between the virtuosos and razor Kraken V3 pros. They both have pros and cons. Battery life is not really my concern as the virtuosos have plenty of battery life for my needs. I have found the Kraken to have higher fidelity sound and comfort but they are a bit buggy.

Long term wise, how have your XTs held up?

Thank you for the discussion.

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?

These have to be the WORST headphones I have ever seen released. “Premium” my butt. Literally any headphone is better than these I’m so angry rn just venting on Reddit

So I'm deciding between the headphones in the title and the Razer Blackshark v2 pro. I was leaning more toward the black shark v2 pro, but on a headphone advice sub people said that razer headphones are overpriced and aren't that good, but there are great youtube reviews on it, so I'm kinda confused now. BUT ANYWAY, the razer ones don't have Bluetooth and the corsair virtuoso does so I'm more leaning toward that. But are they good(I'm getting the XT because the SE doesn't have Bluetooth btw)? I think so but I'm not exactly sure can somebody confirm?

Hey there! I have a pair of RIG800 headphones that keep dropping connection. My friend has Virtuoso XTs and loves them so I figured I would make the jump. The Max just got released and I love the silver colour but with an Amazon sale I can get the Black XTs for literally less than half the price (449.99 for Max and $198.99 for XTs) are the new ones worth paying retail?

Is the newer one that much better?

Needed to vent.

I had a pair of the pearl colored standard virtuosos for a long time, absolutely adored them, microphone quality and audio quality were fantastic and when they started having issues due to age and wear/tear a little while back, I was genuinely upset bc I didn't want to replace them since they'd worked so well and it was hard to find good white headsets that didn't get dingy and gross immediately, which the virtuoso had handled really well over long term heavy use.

I bite the bullet, spring for the Virtuoso XTs, the slate ones, since I figure it'll be same or better performance given they're the same product line but the XT is a newer, higher grade version. Turns out that's incredibly wrong.

Audio quality is much lower quality, has a faint echo and volumes are inconsistent across multiple apps (some games are just inexplicably quieter despite volume mixer and ingame audio not reflecting that, while other apps like discord are ear-shatteringly loud unless my system volume is set way lower than the other pair had it at)

Microphone is complete crap and sounds like I'm talking through my fist. I literally pulled the old mic of my old pair and had to use it because i'm so used to it that the drop in quality with the new pair was jarring

All of the settings I got used to being able to tweak in iCue are now gutted and have to go through the dolby atmos app which is unclear to use and doesn't seem to have a noticeable benefit compared to just letting me adjust things myself in iCue.

I'm just incredibly irritated and disappointed because I like the Corsair brand; most of my entire setup is corsair, and it's largely because I never had any quality issues and enjoyed having everything run through the single iCue app instead of having multiple management apps for different brands, but it looks like I'm going to have to change that because the XTs are $60 more than the standard and have nothing but a drop in performance. I don't want to even get a new set of the standards because I've got no way to know if their quality has dropped proportionally as well, or if they'd be like the older pair I had. It's just such a goddamn shame.

Hi.

Bought the corsair XT Fidelity wireless headphones for my pc, but not superhappy with the sound!How important is the 2.4ghz really? I play mostly dota and some overwatch atm and would really like to buy normal headphones with really good sound and use a mic, but afraid the sound will lag alot like people mention :(
Wanna replace them with Sennheiser momentum 4 or something in that category

Thanks in advance

Is there multiple types of Corsair Virtuoso XT’s? Why are some of the XT’s $180 on Amazon but some are $260 on Bestbuy? Do some not have high fidelity or something? Just trying to figure out which one to buy? They seem the exact same, no? I am looking for the top high end headphone to buy but is there a difference or is it only one XT?

Hello all!

Bit of a back story, I'm currently using an HS70 Pro Wireless and it's my second one, I swore up and down I would never buy another headset because I love the HS70, however with the Micro-USB charger and poor battery life I'm thinking it's time I move on.

I'm wanting to stick with the Corsair line up because of how well the HS70 has treated me, therefore I'm looking towards the Virtuoso line however I'm struggling a bit

What's the Major differences between the XT and the wireless? I've seen some articles say there's a sound difference and others say there isn't? Which one should I pick that'll treat me good for several years like my HS70 did?

Hello,
In the last recent days, I have been looking for a new pair of headset, that will be for gaming.

I have saw some videos here and there and found the corsair virtuoso xt. I tried to do a research about them and they look very great, at least on the paper.
So i want to ask what do you think about the virtuoso xt? are they as great as they showed and worth getting?

do you have any other suggestion for a better wireless headset?

Also, I saw that the virtuoso can be connected using the slipstream usb and also that the slipstream can handle 3 devices at the same time.

Is it possible to connect both the virtuoso xt and another corsair mouse (specific IRONCLAW wireless), using the slipstream coming with the virtuoso xt?

maybe it will be good to say that i have another corsair products like k95 and ironclaw wireless mouse.

I've been looking to upgrade to a newer wireless headset for sometime now, and I've been eyeing the VXT, but it's really pricey, I currently have something called the Mpow Air SE, and I find it pretty good, but I know it's on the lower end of headsets, how does it stack up against the VXT/What benefits will I get?

i bough one of those for 265 , got it for like 6 months now

however the top part' leather has started wearing off by now , for the price this is unacceptable.

now corsair support has asked me to go through an entire process of rma-ing which is also unacceptable. im sorry but for the price i paid you should replace it for free.

Hey guys,

I want to buy a new wireless gaming headset, I have seen the Virtuoso XT for 200€ should I get it ?

I have looked at the specs (24 bits/96 kHz audio, Dolby Atmos,nice mic) it seems to be a good headset. But some of the reviews on reddit says that it doesn't sound good so I don't know if I should take it.

Do you guys have another headset to advice ? My budget is around 200 ~ 250€ ? I'm looking for a wireless headset for gaming, listening music and watch movies. I play on PC and sometimes on PS4 and PS5 and Nintendo Switch if it has Bluetooth it would be great but if not it is ok
