1 / 6An open-back headset with a detachable microphone for gaming, streaming, and creating.
Wired-3.5mm is the most common — on 32% of the 182 gaming headsets we've cataloged (of 149).
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.
