I do wish that maybe in the future like the 3D pulse and bang and Olufsen headsets that we start leaning towards the virtual mic so that if I was using the headset for my phone and stuff I wouldn't have to look for the mic when walking around with them.

    • @julianchillt370
      @julianchillt370 Před 3 lety +1

      Had the same issues with the old one, although to me the padding on the earcups was even worse. Ears started to hurt after an hour or so had to return them cause of that. I loved everything else about these but the comfort was non existent tbh.

    • @dienekes6420
      @dienekes6420 Před 3 lety +1

      For me, the earcups were OK as far as shape, but they were really shallow and would leave my ears super hot after 20 minutes or so. The biggest deal was the headband. Digging into my head non stop and giving me a headache even after I took them off.
      They taught me a valuable lesson though; when picking headsets comfort is first. It doesn't matter how good they look or how good they sound, if all you want to do when using them is to take the damn thing off your head.

    Great video! Best reviewer out there. Also, one question about this headset. Does the EQ profile save to the headset when using just bluetooth?
    For example, if we were to take this on the plane and use it in exclusively bluetooth mode, would we be able to use a custom EQ profile that we've made? OR does it force you to use Pure Direct or something similar?

    So after watching your videos I decided to pick up a pair of XT’s. All I can is they are incredible. I’m playing on ps5 so this is straight out the box sound and no EQ adaptations in the software and I find it really interesting when I read comments about how terrible these sound straight out the box 😂. I understand opinions are all subjective but c’mon, even without Dolby atmos or EQ settings enabled these are a fantastic sounding pair of headphones. I’ve recently been hooked on modern warfare 2 and they have just made the experience so much better! I would 1000 percent recommend these headphones

      @James-fv1cm thanks man so many people tell me they are bad out of the box, and I was kinda sceptical because you can not save EQS. I've been searching for the perfect Simultaneous use headset with the best mic possible. My search might be done after 3 months

    • @James-fv1cm
      @James-fv1cm Před 3 měsíci

      They are definitely not bad out of the box 😂. But if you are talking pure sound for sound there are probably better headphones out there. The reasons why I went for these was no1 the exceptional microphone. I really want a good sounding mic for when I’m gaming because the usual cockpit style microphone just sounds awful. Also the dual connectivity of Bluetooth devices is really good. These days it’s pretty difficult to find a set of headphones that literally tick every major box so it’s a lot of giving and taking I suppose. You could always return them however if they didn’t meet your expectations.

    THIS IS THE PERFECT GAMING HEADSET! NO QUESTION!!!! They nailed the comfort problem from previous virtuosos, they added 4 connection options, they somehow kept their top of the line microphones, and the build quality is one of, if not the the best from a gaming headset. Steelseries is gonna have to push out a big one to beat this headset. The Corsair virtuoso rgb XT is in my opinion the new best wireless gaming headset on the market. (If not the best overall gaming headset on the market.) Definitely picking this baby up straight away! And not to mention this headset was so good, it made the legend, the techne himself box up is beloved Arctis pro wireless! Which is very very very surprising since in an earlier video he said he could not move to another headset other than the Arctis pro wirelsss. *Now that’s saying something.*

    A week of use and my current quick thoughts: Comfortable as hell, with a premium feel. The mic is damn amazing, and the sound (right out the box) is pretty great. That said, man oh man, I wish we could EQ this for consoles. I use this on my PS5 and its crystal clean, no white noise, and the soundstage is awesome but man, I feel like I'm missing out on these cup's true potential since the EQ does not carry over to my PS5. I can only wonder if that's something that can be firmwared in, and stored in the dongle (I think a few headsets have that ability) or not. If anything, the PS5 could do wonders with a built in EQ app, that works with third party headsets. Aside from that, I still really like these.

I'm holding onto the XT just in case my GF needs them for her PC, as these are just a better PC headset

The Virtuoso's sounded much more accurate in music/gaming whereas the Arctis sounded muddy to me personally. Wish the Virtuoso's had a chat mix dial & EQ settings carried over to consoles, but hey I'll trade that for the much more solid build quality. For now Virtuoso > Arctis (pending a SS refresh to the lineup).

    I got the XTs almost a year ago...and as my first high end gaming focused headphones Ive owned, Ive got to say wow. The durability and connectivity features are incredible. I use them for my laptop, phone, tablet and PS5 and its all seamless with great sound quality. (Dolby Atmos is there as long as content is there...I pay for HBO Max that includes 4k and Dolby content...and it works well for sure) Good 50mm Drivers and comfortable for long gaming sessions.
    Mic: Ok, first detachable mic ive had, but the reviews on Corsair mic quality are true...they are clear, crisp and high quality...(Ive asked my friends on console how I sound, and no problems yet!)
    Presentation is Premium! Nice vevet case and nice threaded wires that will last forever.
    To conclude, when you reach this price point, you expect extra gimmicks and features you may or may not use...but its nice to have them available. XTs are all build quality and are built to last if you care for them.
