Title: Amazing Value for Gaming and Music
Review: I was looking for a headset that would be good for both music and gaming. Most gaming focused headsets do not work well for casual music consumption since they are tuned vastly different. This headset offers a slight focus on gaming when it comes to tuning, but with the smallest EQ adjustments becomes even better for music. The fact that they are an open-back design also helps in both cases with a wider soundstage and overall more natural sound than closed back headsets. Unlike high-end audiophile headphones, these are easy to run and do not require any special amplifier to run well. Even a cheap DAC gives you more volume headroom and a theoretical increase in quality, but it’s not required.

Title: Best Multi Device Headset
Review: Summary: This headset allows me to connect to my work laptop, my personal desktop, and my audio interface at the same time with audio coming through simultaneously from all sound sources with no need to swap anything. Also upgrading it with some WC replacement ear cups and headband wrap to resist pleather wear and increase comfort, and add some personalization, is worth it 200%The long version:I work hybrid, so some days at home, some in office. When I am work from home, I work on a laptop that connects to my personal monitors. My personal desktop also goes into my monitors, so I can switch between sources if I have both going at the same time.My original headset, Corsair RGB Void Pro had a little dongle that broke because I had to constantly move the dongle back and forth between my PC and my laptop if I wanted to use either or. I did get a replacement dongle, but I needed a better solution because this could happen again and eventually Void Pro dongles will be harder to come by.I eventually discovered the Corsair Virtuoso RGB XT. It’s wireless, it has its own dongle (which can handle up to 4 wireless devices), it also has bluetooth, and it can become wired through USB or 3.5mm jack. The bluetooth was what I was here for, but I got so much more.After getting the headphones, I was able to clear my PC case front USB ports (the Void Pro dongle, a micro usb, and another usb c cable which has built in velcro to bundle and set aside. My mouse wireless dongle is still there but might be possible to remove too).The game changing feature which I did not expect was that the dongle audio, the bluetooth audio, and the 3.5mm audio could all be played at the same time. I don’t have to worry about flipping between sources or checking to see which one of the three is active, none of that. I can be on my personal computer, I can be on my work computer, and I can (if I wanted to) be connected to my audio interface recording guitar, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. That avoids any concerns about anything wearing down and breaking, I can keep the Virtuoso dongle safe behind the computer, and I have the option of being wired or wireless. I can have all the cakes and eat them all too. It. Is. Glorious.So if you love having flexible, streamlined, and cleaned up work spaces, ESPECIALLY if the work spaces are separate stations but occupy the same space (like my work laptop, my personal desktop, and my audio interface do), this is the clearcut winner.The headphones themselves, so many people talk about the specs and performance, and Dolby Atmos. Just go look up a few Tech Youtubers’ video reviews on them. They are all say these headphones are pretty good. The mic is apparently a miracle and the best in this category, so that’s pretty nice (AND IT IS REPLACEABLE, AND REMOVABLE TOO. WHAT EVEN). Can’t speak to battery life since mine are new.Oh yeah, final note. Do replace the stock ear cups. Get the ones from a brand called WC because they are deeper, bigger, made of fabric and not pleather like the stock ones, and they have greater comfort supposedly (I haven’t used the stock ones. I immediately used the replacement ones out of the box). I also got a band to go around the top of the headset from WC to protect the pleather on the top from wearing and flaking off. I’d recommend you do the same. There are also patterns you can choose from to give your headset some personality.Overall, big win in all directions, these headphones. I would strongly recommend getting those WC ear cups and band set. Worthy upgrade to an already amazing headset

Title: So happy with my purchase
Review: I am ranking this headset with 4 stars instead of 5 because I purchased the iCUE version and there are issues with iCUE. If Corsair fixes my issues with iCUE, my rating will go up to 5 stars.Comfort: The original earcups are a bit shallow. Thankfully, you can buy thicker replacement earcups here on Amazon for only a small extra charge. I chose replacements with velvet touching my head to reduce sweating issues and vinyl outer shells to keep out outside sounds.Noise Cancellation: These are not noise canceling headphones. They are over-ear headphones that completely enclose your ears inside the earcups. Outside noise reduction is mainly done by your earcups. I am quite satisfied with the level of noise reduction by these headphones, but again, they are not active noise-canceling headphones.Sound quality: Your sound quality will depend on the method of connection.- If you cable to your source using the headphone jack, you’ll get the best possible sound quality.- If you use the wireless receiver, you’ll get excellent sound quality- If you use the bluetooth capability, you’ll get very good sound quality, but perhaps not quite as good as the other options.Lag: This will depend on your computer and the software you’re using for sound. I use this headset primarily with Microsoft Teams and find that there is very little lag when using the wireless receiver. Lag is slightly greater using the bluetooth connection.Range:- The provided USB-A to USB-C cable is 2m long. When using it, you’re tethered to your workstation.- If you use a 3-channel headphone cable, you may be able to increase your range while remaining tethered.- I will not discuss any options for 3rd-party cable extension adaptations because they will depend on the product.- The USB wireless receiver is excellent, but doesn’t provide great range or good through-the-walls capability. I can move away from my workstation maybe 10m or so in open air and maybe 4m through walls. When I originally purchased the headset, the microphone’s wireless range was only 2m in open air, but after an update in 2021, this appears to be mostly resolved.- Bluetooth gives the greatest range. It’s better in open air and through the walls by about half.Multiple connectivity: I’ve used these headphones in wireless mode with both the wireless adapter and bluetooth connections active simultaneously to different sources. I typically connect bluetooth to my phone or to a second workstation, while I use the USB wireless adapter with my primary workstation. I can use them simultaneously. My only issues are remembering to mute the conversation that I don’t want to be talking to. I haven’t tried tethered multiple connectivity and cannot provide any review on it.Modes:- USB Cabled mode: This headset cannot charge while wireless turned on. It charges quickly, but there have been times when I needed to switch to the USB cable when my battery was low.- Headphone Cabled mode: I haven’t tried this mode enough to describe how and when it works.- Wireless mode: The USB wireless adapter is automatically used (if it’s connected to a device) when the headphones are turned to wireless mode. Bluetooth can be turned on while the headphones are turned to wireless mode. The headphones will connect to a bluetooth device while also connected to another device via the USB wireless adapter. I consider this to be a useful feature.iCUE: It’s great when it works. My workstation is an HP ZBook-16 portable workstation running Windows 10 and I typically put it in sleep mode overnight. I use iCUE to adjust the lighting settings on the headset to minimal lighting to extend battery life (only the mic turns red when it’s muted). iCUE works well immediately after reboot, but it goes into an unrecoverable state when the workstation resumes from sleep and its functions fail. Again, if Corsair will fix the iCUE issue, I’ll give this product 5 stars.

Title: 10 outta 10
Review: I got these about a week ago cause I work from home and am constantly on calls. These were a serious game changer and I’m so glad I got them. I needed something that went around my ear so my kids didn’t distract me and was also clear sounding. This pairs great with the noise cancellation software I use, Krisp, and now I can hear people and they can hear me without interruption. 10 outta 10. I might by a second pair for gaming so I don’t wear these out to fast ha.

Review: Compre estos audífonos junto con unos Beyerdynamic DT 990 Edition 32 Ohms, ambos son de diseño abierto, y las principales diferencias o similitudes serían las siguientes:- El precio de ambos esta dentro del mismo rango, los DT 990 cuestan al rededor de un 20% menos.-En cuanto calidad de construcción ambos son excelentes, son muy rígidos y de bueno material, adicional a esto los Corsair incluyen una funda rígida para su transporte, mientras que los DT 990 incluyen una funda suave. Debido a esto, en cuanto a portabilidad los Corsair son mejores por la rigidez de la funda, ya que los podrías meter a una mochila a maleta sin miedo a que se dañen, aun así, existen fundas rígidas para loas DT 990 que se venden por separado.-Los Corsair incluyen dos cables desmontables, uno con micrófono, el cual es como el de la mayoría de audifonos “Gamer”, es decir, no tiene nada de especial ni se compara con cualquier micrófono condensador barato. Una desventaja de ambos cables, es la textura, ya que al rosar con la ropa se produce un ruido que de alguna manera se transmite mediante los audífonos y puede llegar a ser un poco molesto. Por otro lado, los DT 990 no tienen micrófono y el cable no se puede desconectar, pero este no produce ningún ruido al rosar con la ropa.-En cuanto a comodidad, los Corsair al tener las copas de tela, son más frescas y cómodas que cualquiera de vinipiel que usan la mayoría de audífonos, y la compresión de la diadema no es mucha, por lo que son cómodos al usarse durante unas 2 o 3hrs, sin embargo, después de este tiempo ya comienzan a molestar un poco. Por otro lado, los DT 990 son igualmente de tela, pero de textura similar al terciopelo, la cual es mucho más suave y fresca que los Corsair, y en cuanto a presión de la diadema, al ser la versión “Edition”, no se siente ninguna incomodidad incluso en periodos de más de 7 o 8hrs de uso, son igual de cómodos desde que te los pones hasta que te los quitas.-Por último, respecto a la calidad de Audio, indiscutiblemente los DT 990 son mucho mejores que los Corsair, lo cual es algo evidente debido a la experiencia en el mercado del audio que ambas marcas tienen, ya que estos audífonos de Corsair son los primeros Open back que la marca ha producido, por lo que aún les falta mucho por mejorar, mientras que Beyerdynamic llevan bastantes años en este mismo mercado de los audífonos HiFi.Finalmente, para concluir, si buscas unos audífonos de diseño abierto, muy cómodos para usar durante muchas horas sin parar, con muy buena calidad de audio para música, películas o videojuegos y sin necesidad de amplificador, buena construcción y sin salirte del rango de los 3,500 a 4,000 pesos MXN, sin duda la mejor opción son los DT 990.

Review: I have around 16 years of audio production and engineering history within my personal life. I used to own a pair of Sennheiser HD 700’s (RIP), I currently own a pair of Apple Airpods Max; and now these. So I think I can, humbly, say that I know a tiny bit on these topics.Upon opening the box, the packaging is great and includes everything you might need along with an excellent carry-case. The headphones are light and seem really well built, with premium materials.One of my biggest concerns when buying headphones is clamping force (because unfortunately, I wear glasses). I was pleasantly surprised that they have significantly less clamping force than the Apple Airpods Max. This is absolutely great because it doesn’t squish my head like a vice. I tried using a custom ear cup set by “Wicked Cushions” that were thicker, which was a bit too harsh on the ears with additional clamping, so I replaced them back to the stock cups.The quality is mid-tier out of the box – not great; Not until you get into iCue or activate Dolby Atmos. You do this by going into Dolby Access and then customize your own EQ, and raise the low+high end frequencies. At that point, they sound great.The wireless connection is great; the dual-wireless connection is even greater. I absolutely love being able to chat with my friends on Discord while playing on my PS5, or being able to answer my phone at the same time. It’s a feature I never knew I needed and now that I have it, I’m not sure I’d want to go without it.The battery life seems good; I’ve been able to get whole working days without needing to critically charge them.Would I recommend these? Absolutely. Would I pay $300 for them? It’s a lot of money and there are other options out there that are just as competitive. I really do like these.

Review: Never knew this would be this good especially with the open back design. Took a minute to get used to it but my god these headphones are AMAZING. With software Sonar you can fully bring out the full potential of sounds outta these bad boys. Not that you need to. Right out of the box it’s really good already.

Review: These headphones are awesome. The Virtuoso Pro’s have significantly better build quality than headphones that cost over twice as much (I know because I own HD600s). Many of the parts on these headphones are also user changeable, so it’s easy to replace components that wear out. They even look great. I expect them to last an exceptionally long period of time – which is great because I hate replacing stuff because the tiniest thing broke on it and it’s unrepairable. Hyper-capitalism sucks.The headphones sound great. Don’t let Reddit reviewers make you think otherwise. No, these headphones won’t make you feel like God himself has connected directly to your ear to pump in melodious tunes he composed in his spare time. If you’re the kind of person who collects headphones for a hobby, who purchases wired headphones that cost over $700, has spent an equal amount of money on a DAC, or who spends hours and hours EQing their headphones to get the perfect sound – these are probably not for you. For the rest of us mortals who just want to play video games or listen to music with minimal fuss, with good sound, and a microphone, these headphones are fantastic right out of the box. If you want, you can EQ them and they’ll sound even better. But honestly, you’re probably not going to notice that the explosion from the air strike you called down in the name of spreading freedom across the galaxy sounds SLIGHTLY warmer and muddier than the theoretical perfect headphone. You’re going to be too busy promoting democracy with your bullets. And at the end of the day, that’s what counts.Same goes with the microphone. Should you narrate Planet Earth season 4 with these? No. Will your buddies hear you scream for a revive? Yes, clearly.I’ve seen people complain about the microphonics of the wire. Yes, when the wire rubs on your clothes, you can hear it just a bit. If you’re a professional or an enthusiast who needs total silence – again these aren’t the headphones for you. If you’re just some person who wants to hear some tunes, watch some videos, or pwn some noobs, you’re not going to care.Comfort wise – this is subjective depending on the shape of your head and your preferences. I can wear these for a couple of hours at a time before I begin to notice them, but this is the case with all headphones for me. For reference, I find these to be much more comfortable than the AudioTechnica M50s, but less comfortable than my HD600s.Cheers.
