Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless Gaming Headset with Spatial Audio Slate

Overall Review: Best sound

Pros: – Audio is quite good (you must download iCue and be comfortable tweaking the EQ) – Setup was very easy – Comfortable on my big head – Battery life is as advertised (haven’t tried dual connectivity yet which will def affect this) – Love the SLIPSTREAM wireless mode, beats the hell out of Bluetooth (no separate music/call quality diffs) Cons: – SLIPSTREAM range is very limited, it cuts out when I get about 20 feet from my desk – Comes with a flat EQ setting from the factory, so you have to tweak it in iCue – Some music tracks come across as crackly (most don’t, may or not may be my EQ settings) Overall Review: I had a pair of cheapo headphones that were starting to fall apart so upgraded to these. Right out of the box, the EQ is defaulted to flat and sounded worse than the cheap ones but this was an easy fix with the iCue software. These headphones are capable of producing a very rich, deep sound. SLIPSTREAM Wireless range isn’t great (haven’t tried bluetooth yet), but this is not a deal breaker for me (just don’t want the wire). Happy so far, and looking forward to trying the dual connectivity with SLIPSTREAM and Bluetooth.

Pros: – Build Quality is phenomenal – MIcrophone Quality is good Too – Everything feel seek and secure – Comfortable to Wear Cons: – The audio drops out fairly frequently for the price point. Sometimes when in the same room – Range is Inconsistent, but definitely lower than something like the Steel Series 1 – Battery Life is lower than my steel series – The RGB lighting can be very annoying if I try to sleep while using these to listen to audio as it’s always blasting my face with some pretty intense light Overall Review: – If you don’t need range it’s pretty good… but even then it occasionally disconnects while only 10 feet away which can be quite frustrating. – The battery takes awhile to recharge and doesn’t last so long, but I use my headset 10+ hours a day AND it comes with blue tooth capacity and 3.5mm jack.. so the connection options are quite nice just not quite ideal for someone who uses it so habitually as a wireless set of headphones. Build quality is once again amazing. Due to my prolonged usages head phones often break apart but I think this one is as study as an ASTRO A50 – I had a Steel SEries pro wireless and the plastic around the ear buds caused the ear buds to eventually snap under pressure from usage after only a year. These have no such pressure point vulnerabilities and I believe they use real leather for the head and ear cushions. RGB tortures my soul, I wish they would just include an off button or switch rather than having it be software dependent.
