Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless Gaming Headset - High-Fidelity 7.1 Surround Sound w/Broadcast Quality Microphone - Memory Foam Earcups - 20 Hour Battery Life - Works with PC, PS5, PS4 – Carbon

I don't usually write reviews, but I have time to spare and hope my contribution helps someone decide if the Corsair Virtuoso is a good choice for their application. BTW, I have the Premium version and NOT the Special Edition/SE version. (more on why I chose this below and it wasn't the $30 price difference) SOLID build quality. There is a certain satisfaction with the way they feel. Sturdy, no creaking or bending that shouldn't exist. Good weight, not too heavy. I'm sure the SE version is also very nice with the machined aluminum. The protein leather headband and earpads are comfortable and I'm sure would be comfortable for many people for several hours. (Would be nice if they included a few variations at this price. maybe perforated lambskin or suede or fabric mesh etc. changing the sound profile is half the fun of having a good set of cans) Crazy sound insulation. Put them on your head and you probably won't be able to hear much around you. Depending on your preference this could be great, they come in all shapes and form VERY closed headphones. I think most people are right handed so having the volume on the right side is quite annoying. The right hand is the main mouse hand and should not be needed to adjust the volume. Wireless audio is adequate, very clean for the most part. As you will see I have also attached a picture of my EQ settings as I personally like a V-curve with high bass/treble and a bit off mids. With a "Pure Direct" flat EQ they sound pretty bland IMHO not only for gaming but also for music and general use. Not sure how this would work for console users who might not be able to configure sound profiles easily... Microphone quality is excellent! I don't know if it's a known fact, but the Premium's mic is much better than the Special Edition's. It's a good selling point if you like to reproduce your voice accurately. The software is ok. iCUE has a very limited subset of options for this set of boxes and only a few preset EQ settings that I would personally never use. That's not to say Logitech or other people's software is better, but it's definitely not great. Sometimes the biggest problem is clarity. Even using the default "Pure Direct" EQ settings or my tweaked EQ settings, sometimes there is a crackle/pop/distortion in some games/music that occurs which is very unpleasant. Yes, I may have received a faulty pair of cans, but I can't hear the distorted audio. The second biggest problem from my point of view. The pads are a bit shallow for me personally and my ears touch the inside near the driver. According to my attached image, I wish the rolling of the pad was easier. These pads have a ring/turn mounting system (clockwise to unlock which is counter bass) and they would require you to destroy the original pads to get the rings out to Properly mount a new set (or you could get an adhesive set of pads that meh, or even 3d print new bushings but that's too much effort for a simple pad swap) So wow yeah I love being able to swap earpads for comfort/sound adjustment and these don't easily allow that. Sooooooooo this may have been a long review that doesn't give much information but in short I will be returning them and continuing to use my Logitechs G935 (with swapped lambskin headband and slanted lambskin pads) Even stock I'd say they're much better in terms of value/performance/customization/etc.
