Pros & Cons
Pros
The design is stellar. Well built and lightweight. Overall the features are where this shines. Not the best sounds but great overall.
If you swap out the ear pads for thicker ear pads, these headphones are perfect. The stock pads are simple to detach and re-attach with some new ones. The only negative is they are pretty heavy.
The microphone quality is also very good for a microphone on a headset. The slipstream feature allows your voice to come out clearly. The removable microphone is a nice touch. The mic is great!
The corsair virtuoso rgb wireless xt are a great set of headphones. These are hifi, 7. They are worth the $20. I'm thrilled that i chose corsair over other brands. These headphones are so good!
Cons
The lack of bass is terribly disappointing. The sound quality on these headphones is bad especially in really low and high ranges. Dolby is supposed to connect automaticlly, it does not. Overall this headset isnt worth $200+.
The mic constantly cuts out, i constantly have feedback issues. The wireless 60ft range is a bunch of hogwash. I have to keep them plugged in via usb to get the sound to stay. The being able to have both wireless and bluetooth active is a nice qol fea... Read More
Highlights
Quality
The microphone quality is also actually very good for a microphone on a headset.
I feel no major pressure on my head after wearing it for nearly two hours straight, and frankly the sound quality is good.
The sound quality is great, but there is a slight hissing noise when i raise the volume of the headset and there’s nothing playing.
The usb-a plug is so much better for the ps5 then the usb-c.
Packaging/appearance
Packaging is great and comes with a travel bag.
Headset was ready to use right out of the box, great sound and an easy setup.
Corsair really should have just charged an extra $20 headphones shipped with better ear pads out of the box.

Competitiveness
)overall - i've tried many other high-end gaming headsets, but few compare to this level of quality.
I've bought so many, many of which were repeat products because i like what i like.
After about 30mins - 1hr your ears will start to hurt.
5/10--because if i wanted 9 or 10/10, i'd basically start getting a professional microphone stand and a sony wh1000xm4/apple airpods max.
