r/Headsets on Reddit: Corsair Virtuoso or Arctis 7
October 22, 2019 -

I've decided after having a wired headset for a while that I really want I wireless one I've narrowed it down to these two. If anyone knows which is better. Please tell me. I've actually already tried the Virtuoso, but I didn't like the SE mic. The only other problem with it was the lack of sidetone. This is VERY important to me.

The Arctis 7 isn't very good.

I have tried the virtuoso but I've not been getting told the most positive things.

Wireless is a bit of a bummer.

The flight is normaly what I reccomend sub 200.

I'm getting the new gsp370 soon I think.

I am uniquely qualified to answer this right now lol. I happen to have in my possession a pair of Arctis 7 and a pair of Virtuoso SE (and the ST1000 stand). I originally bought the Virtuoso SE because EVERYTHING else I own is Corsair and all controlled through iCUE and all that goodness. Since I am a best buy elite member or whatever, I can just return which ever pair I dont want up to 45 days. So I've been doing some extensive testing. And honestly, for as beautiful and well built and "ultra premium" the corsair really is, and it is, it is seriously a well built well designed thing of beauty, it's 7.1 surround was SO lacking. I don't know why. I can't figure it out. It should be fine. But it's not. I don't know if it is the headphones themselves or the fact that the virtual surround is a corsair proprietary thing and you don't have the option of running them on DTS or Dolby unless you get rid of iCue. Not compared to the Arctis 7 with DTS:X. Multiple times with the Arctis I had to take my headphones off because I was scared I accidentally switched the audio output to my desktop speakers and was gonna wake up my wife. I could pick out the spot on my wall that the sound seemed to emanate from. It was just WAY more immersive sound. I still haven't decided.

When it comes to design and build quality, its the Corsair all day. But when it comes to sound, which, I mean, that's what a headset is for I guess, It is the Arctis.

So at this point I'm torn between having a full corsair setup that I can instant light all the same with one click, Or,

Hi, I'm looking at buying a wireless headset for my first build that i recently completed. I'm between the two headsets in the title and am really torn. I've done a decent amount of research but I would really like the opinions of people that have owned these headsets for a while.

Right now I'm leaning more towards the arctis because I've seen a lot of complaints about the Virtuosos comfort. Is the virtuoso's fit really that bad? Thank you, and any advice is greatly appreciated!
