Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE Overview


The Corsair Virtuoso is the latest headset that has been released from corsair. This is a high-performance headset aimed at gaming for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox with a very high-quality audio output. This is one of the much higher price headsets on offer from Corsair but this is with good reason as we will talk about below!

Connectivity

This headset offers numerous connectivity options, you have wireless of up to 60ft of range due to its USB receiver, which uses intelligent frequency shift (IFS) to ensure a strong signal. There is the option of wired via a 3.5mm jack plug which will allow you to connect to a variety of devices as long as it has the 3.5 mm port such as audio players, consoles, and mobile phones. The last option that you have is wired by USB which allows you to connect to devices with a USB port.

Design and Comfort

Being machined by aluminum means the Virtuoso has the perfect balance of being very durable, with a lightweight design for maximum comfort which gives it a very professional finish. The earpads are made from memory with a leather-look finish which means when you put them on the mold to your head to make them as comfortable as possible, which is the same for the headband. There is also a broadcast-grade detachable microphone that gives the most natural sound quality to your friends and team players.

Specifications

There is a reason for the high price! The spec list is quite large. To start off they have a smart sleep and wake system, which means they detect when you put them down so they will power down and when you pick them up again they will turn on, which is very good for preserving the battery life. When linked up with a PC they have incredible sound quality as they come with 7.1 surround sound to put you into the middle of all the action. Along with this you also have RGB lights installed in each ear cup which gives you the ability to change the colours to whatever you want and give you the ability to match the colour scheme of your PC. Being the more expensive SE version they have a couple of extra features, first off the ear cup is made of aluminum which is the same as the frame, along with the microphone head and connector. The last point I am going to talk about is the mic itself, as the SE option has a 9.5mm broadcast-grade which gives greater performance and increased sensitivity. Just to finish it off the SE comes with its own pouch to protect it if needs be.

Battery

When it comes to the life of the headset there is a custom high-capacity lithium-ion battery that can offer up to 20 hours of listening time while gaming. Or as an alternative, you can have it plugged in for permanent power.

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Great battery life
  • Stunning presentation
  • Powerful hi-res audio
  • Very comfortable
Cons
  • High price tag
  • Wireless range is dependant on house construction

My Conclusion

In my opinion, owning these for a couple of months now, they are an incredible headset. First off you have the look, they are very pleasing to the eye as they have a very nice finish of metal with the RGB lighting on each side. They are the most comfortable headset I have used, I can use them for many hours not having to take them off to discomfort. The battery is very impressive, I can go a couple of days without having to charge it, while only using it for some hours each evening. When it comes to the sound while gaming it does give you the upper hand, you have a very crisp and clear sound so you can hear footsteps or explosions in the distance or gun firing meaning you can figure out where it is coming from. Overall it is an incredible headset yes it does have a very expensive price tag but it does have a lot of positives to make it worthwhile. I would happily recommend it to anyone who enjoys gaming or watching videos due to the high quality of audio.

  1. Nice headsets. My sister is a gamer and she’s been soo into these things, and I bet she would love to have these. It looks good in terms of quality and design.

    I might surprise her with it the future. 

    Do you know anyone else who is using the headset besides you? Do you think the headsets will be good to use on something else? Like an online meeting? 

    I have a headset, but its poor in quality compare to this one. I might get one in the future, and this one looks promising. 

    • This headset is certainly well made! I have had numerous headsets and decided to treat myself to this one which is the best one yet

      I do know someone else who uses this headset and they are just as impressed with it as I am!

      I must admit I have only ever used this for gaming so I’m unable to say if this would be any good for it, but I can’t see there being any issues with it as it is connected to the computer by a USB dongle.

      Thank you for taking the time to read this article!

  2. Thank you so much for this review over the Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE Review.  These wireless headphones look absolutely amazing!  I love that these have a large battery life, because it gets annoying having to always charge my headphones because they do not have that battery life.  That alone is enough for the price tag in my own opinion!

    • This is something I had to seriously think about as I did not want a wired headset, I hate the wires hanging around. I put a lot of research into what’s on offer and I loved the look of these when I first seen them and have since been impressed with them! 

      What headset do you currently use?

      Thank you for taking the time to read!
