When this headset launched a few months ago, it sold out, worldwide, in something like 48 hours. That’s insane. It better be worth the hype then eh? Lets take a look and see. Corsair’s Virtuoso headset is definitely in the premium category for gaming headsets, selling for around £150, or £170 for the Special Edition. 

Now I have the standard version here in white, which I actually really like the look of, I really think the nailed the styling here. I’m not the sort of person to wear over-ear headphones out and about unless it’s a long flight, but I can see people using these as their daily-drivers, and they can thanks to the 3.5mm jack on the bottom of the ear cup. Sadly there isn’t bluetooth support here, but there is Corsair’s Slipstream Wireless connection, using their USB dongle to connect with actually pretty decent range.

You can connect via the USB C port on the bottom if you want slightly better audio quality too, but in my testing I didn’t really notice much of a difference between the two. While we are talking about audio quality though, these are great. While they aren’t quite as enjoyable to listen to as my Audiotechnica ATH-G1WLs, these are clear, crisp, and with a bit of a tweak to the EQ you can do in iCUE, really good bass and clear vocals too.

I found when listening to some high bitrate flac files that the bass was a little lacking, even with the EQ set to max on the lower bands, which ended up making the headphones feel a bit of a disconnected experience, compared to something like the ATH-G1WLs which make you feel more involved in actually listening to the music, and hearing the different elements. Of course, that’s my subjective opinion though.

When it comes to gaming, it was good there. Footsteps were clear, nice and easy to work out where shots were coming from and as for the mic, well, just listen for yourself..

So, it sounds good, has an amazing mic and is pretty versatile, what’s not to like? Well, initial comfort isn’t the best, it’s pretty stiff at first and did end up hurting a little after gaming, but the good news is that goes away after some usage. My ears do rub against the inside of the ear cups though, which is a little annoying. 

Battery life is alright, it has a claimed 20 hours of listening time, which was about right in my testing, and charges reasonably quickly through the Type C port on the bottom. Of course, you can switch to 3.5mm should the headset die and you can’t plug it in via USB, in a pinch. 

So, are these worth their £150 price tag? I think so. See I’ve been comparing them to the Audiotechnicas here, but those are £230 headphones, and in terms of feature sets, the Virtuosos win by a decent margin. While I still would like to see bluetooth support, the combination of inputs, styling, amazing – and detachable – microphone, and overall good listening experience makes this pretty hard not to recommend. Would I put these on my desk? Personally, no, as I would rather spend a little more on the G1WLs since I’d only ever use them at home and the added comfort and quality is worth it for me, but I have no problem recommending the Virtuoso to anyone else.
