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,
anyone here owned both? i currently have a steel series but it seems like the mic is broken. which one is better?

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!
I've been absolutely pulling my hair out trying to decide between these three headsets. I understand two of them are wireless well one is wired. The arctis 7 seems to have all the features and the wireless capability one could desire but I'm worried about audio fidelity The Corsair boasts higher audio fidelity But doesn't have all the features of the arctis 7. The Astro a40s although wired have all the features and Superior sound quality. at least that's how I've come to understand it. Also the a40 bundle with the mixer pro are currently on sale for $200 on Amazon making them a very attractive option. I've heard lots of concerns regarding wireless headsets as well. Anyways, just looking for people's opinions on which of these guys to pull the trigger on. Thank you.
For a budget setup shp9500 + vmoda boompro + syba sonic usb dac/amp.
i have the virtuoso non SE, awesome sound quality (after eq tuning, altho in 3.1 mode its a bit better without tuning on an iphone) if you dont have a 3d printer (which would allow you to change the earpads to any you want) you should get the SE version, which comes with extra earpads that i believe are more comfortable than the stock ones. After 2 hours of use i start feeling pain near my jaw. The battery is very long lasting without RGB and it will remember the level of brightness you set it to, they also get VERY bright (on non SE, on SE they are still good, plus the non glossy texture) cables are great quality, but in wireless mode the dongle shouldnt be blocked by anything, as they might randomly disconect. The headband support is a bit too hard and will start hurting after some time, altho not as bad as the earpads. Corsair software is great and you can actually change eq’a in icue space without opening icue. Overall great headset, just recomend changing earpads.
Hii everyone, headphone noob here 😅 I'm looking for a new pair of headphones for pc and I would really love to go wireless this time because the wire gets in the way when I switch between drawing, gaming, knitting etc. I would also love it to have a mic I can either remove or roll up for discord calls, or phone calls if it's possible to find something that can work for both phone and pc. If possible I would love to have a pair that closes off outside sound cause I share gaming room with bf and he gets loud in tarkov 😅
I am by no means a sound nerd in any way, I just like to hear music and to play computer without problems or any sort of big setup settingswise.
I've been looking at the SteelSeries Artic nova 7 where it's the cross platform availablity and hot swappable battery i really love the sound of. On the other hand I also quite like the design of the Corsair virtuoso and it's a bit cheaper 🤔
What would any of you smarter than me people pick here? I'm also more than open for suggestions, my budget is around 200€ max
I am looking for a wireless headset under ~$150 USD for PC, and I have two main options:
SteelSeries Arctis 7 ($125 USD)
Corsair Virtuoso ($160 USD)
I am not sure if the virtuoso is worth the extra money for the features. I am looking for a wireless (not bluetooth) option with a good microphone, durable build quality, and most importantly, great sound quality.
Tell me what you would go for before I pull the trigger.
I mean, sound wise neither are very good.
The Virtuoso has a great mic but bad everything else honestly.
The arctis 7 is pretty meh.
Wireless kinda sucks sadly.
The mh670 and flight are better.
what did you get? im contemplating this same thing. my astro a40s kill the top of my head...
I'm deciding which wireless headset to get and I want somewhat higher end and these seem to be fairly good options for what I'm looking for. I want high quality sound with a sleek looking design that doesn't look over gamer-y any help would be nice. I currently am using the Corsair hs 70 if that helps
I have the arctis 7 wireless headset, it's a great headset imo. Battery lasts long, the range is also quite long. And the audio quality is very good with some tuning.
I’ve had the Arctis 7 and they’re the best headphones in this price range that I’ve owned. They sound nearly as good as other sets I have that are $$$ more. I also wear glasses and have plugs which make some headphones uncomfortable after while, but I wear these for weekly 4+ hour d&d sessions and have had no issues.
Been looking up for a wireless/bluetooth with wired option, in my max budget of $250, mainly for PC/mobile. Nothing else specific.
Can't choose between the two, would also appreciate if there's anything else you could recommend.
Been looking for a gaming headset and I've narrowed it down to these 2.
Both pretty much the same price point ( £234.99 & £249.00) which one do you think is best?
Which of the headsets is the best for gaming and listening music through Bluetooth
Steel series headphones are infamous for terrible build quality
None of them are remotely good, but my guess is the one made by an actual audio brand would be the best of the 3.
You can get Sundara or DT 900 Pro X for that kind of money and both of them absolutely blow those options out of the water.
Been in the market and still am undecided between these two, I know both their Pros and their Cons and still cannot come to a conclusion. Honest thoughts about these two. Thanks!
P.S: As much as I would appreciate other product suggestion but these are what I narrowed down to and what I can get in my country right now.
