CORSAIR HEADSET WIRED PRO

The Virtuoso XT was so comfortable on my head that I went days convinced that Corsair's headset was lighter than the Logitech G Pro X Lightspeed.

That's more than I can say for the Logitech headset I've been using as my daily driver at work for the past year.

Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT Specsįrom the moment I first slipped the headset on until I put it down at the end of the day, the Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT was comfortable. A Corsair rep told us there are currently no plans to retire that model, so really the company is just offering another choice with more features and better comfort. So if you can live without the extra padding and dual-device connectivity, you can save some cash by stepping down to the still-great Virtuoso SE. The XT model with its dual connectivity option and added comfort, has an MSRP of $269. The previous SE model sells for $210 at Best Buy, (which is also where this new model will be an exclusive at launch). The real hurdle for many though, is going to be price. Corsair says, though, that the dual connectivity feature leads to the shorter battery life rating, and that you should still get about 20 hours of runtime if you're just connected to one device. The rated battery life is just 15 hours, 5 hours less than the previous model. There are even controls for adjusting the volume of both sources separately on the right earcup.Īll that said, not everything is excellent here. That means you can hear your PC or Mac audio while also getting notifications or listening to music on your phone or other Bluetooth device. But Corsair also goes one better, letting you wirelessly connect via Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz dongle to two different devices at once. And a removable mic means you might actually want to use this headset while out and about. You can connect via USB or 3.5 mm cable, or wireless via aptX Bluetooth (a key feature for improved wireless audio quality and making sure dialogue is synced with people's lips in TV an movies) and Corsair’s 2.4 GHz Slipstream via dongle. Firstly, it supports pretty much every modern audio connection type out of the box. The result is a headset that's far more comfortable for long-term use than the similarly styled Logitech G Pro X Lightspeed Wireless, which has been my go-to work headset for the past year-plus of the work-from-home pandemic.įor my money though, the Virtuoso XT's best (or at least its most unique) feature involves connectivity. Corsair has updated the design with the XT model to improve comfort, lessening the clamping force on your head and adding more padding to the headband.
