@@kingclassified8503 well im no audiophile but ive got a totally different opinion so that this was not worth to upgrade from a used hyperX cloud flight. not worth the money at all. wired mic is nice but wireless mic is actually embarassingly bad

Thank you so much for posting, you have convinced me to purchase these headphones in the very near future 🙂

I think testing the mic wirelessly would have been better (both in 2.4 and bluetooth). I also want to mention that holding the mute button on the mic unable or disable your own voice playback in the headset... And I feel like nobody would ever use equalizer profile buttons on the device itself like you suggested

Im really relieved i havent bought the SE version yet...

Just bought these and love them. Really comfortable and they replaced my in ears for my phone, ATH-M50s for my pc/laptop, and both headsets for xbox/ps5.

Would it have more battery if they used Bluetooth 5.2? It is also interesting that there is a sacrifice of sound for functionality and specs for some headphones and vice versa.

OH WOW!! What a headset, I need it😍

Thanks for the review! I'm wondering: do any of the hardware buttons let you adjust Game vs. Chat audio? (some headsets like the Sony Inzone H9 have a rocker for this)

Why not do a wireless mic test? When plugged in, there is much less compression. I’m really curious to how it sounds wireless!

It's basically the same. Most people can't even tell a difference from my experience definitely not once it has been compressed for recording or transmission via discord.

great video. But what aobut comfort? Is the headband tight? Does it put too much pressure on the ears? Does it isolate well?

Question: Is audio quality mentioned over wireless connection? Or do they turn into standard 20-20 like everyone else?

Hey so I’ve been gaming for awhile now and have went through some of the best headsets like the Astros A50 and the Artic Wireless Pros but I feel like none of them are giving me the rumble experience like the Sony Pulse Elite. Also you said these Virtuosos don’t have the rumble so what headset would you recommend? Of course I want good quality but I feel like I need that bass rumble when shooting or when things are exploding.

Do the RGB and Equalizer settings save for wireless or do we they have to remain plugged in?

How well do these utilize the PS5's surround sound feature?

Can you help me with some info ? I just bought these headphones for my next gen xbox. I was wondering if without a computer will I be able to turn off the sidetone so I can’t hear myself talking in the headset ? Also does the Dolby Atmos work with my xbox Dolby Atmos ? Thanks for the good review
