In their words

@tidy_maple_83 · Owner-reported

Owned 1–6 months · Still using it: yes, daily · Posted

The headset is ok, both microphone and sound are good. However the textiles of the earpad and headband, they use a bad glue and both came out after a month of use. I have had headphones last for literally years and was very negatively surprised with how little these lasted...

The verdict

The Corsair VIRTUOSO PRO is a rather unique option for gamers and creative professionals. The open-back design is only good for quiet environments, but otherwise, this headset performs well for gaming, streaming, listening to music, and virtual meetings.

✓Liked: Open-back design, High-quality materials and build, Good microphone quality

✕Could be better: No Bluetooth, No isolation or noise canceling, No onboard controls, Over-emphasis on bass
