Thanks for continuing to put out the content you do. I've been taking in a lot from channels like yours and it's helping me to re-focus my own efforts and perspective. Still have no idea what I'm doing, but that's sort of my way I guess x-D

Banger of a video as always. And I like how you did not bother stating aesthetics at all because it does feel like other reviewers tend to take a biased opinion on certain headsets just from the way they look.

That opening scene with the camera going back to show the peripherals is so clean and tight. Black and gold never looked better Keep up the good work man 👍🏼

Good to hear your Arctis Pro Wireless (APW) are still going strong after 3 years. I am transitioning from the Astro A50 Gen 3 that I have had since 2017. The base on the A50 connects intermittently to my PC and it is getting worse and also the battery needs to changed since it is not holding a charge long. I was considering the APW but there are numerous posts on the web with pictures showing the mounting point of the head band at the ear cup (speaker) being cracked in as little as 1.5 years. Reading and seeing those pictures gives me pause before spending $349 (current price at Best Buy) for the APW. I tried the Corsair Virtuoso XT but like you I have a large / wide head and find them to be uncomfortable. I was not a big fan of the shallow sound of the stock or out of the box EQ setting. Surprisingly when I used the Dolby Access and incorporated my own EQ setting I found I liked the Virtuoso XT sound. Great review.

Love the comparisons, makes it different, cool video!

Good review. Just picked these up for $199.

That clean zoom out? Dang my guy

Lots of "broken arctis pro wireless" posts on reddit. The hinge mechanism of the ear cup seems to be the issue. Mine has been working just fine for months though. Still the best set out there imo.

Ooh, finally something that can replace my Steelseries AWP. Penrose have mixing issues, and the EPOS Sennheiser GSP 670 can't play sound from the bluetooth and wireless at the same time. But this one seems to be a good replacement for the AWP. EDIT: Wait, AWP built like a tank?! You must have gotten absurdly lucky, I've had them break on me after 1 year of usage, replaced them, then a year later, now, they're breaking again. Cups detaching from the headband is a well known issue. A lot of people are complaining about it.

Great review. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind: 1. How much of sound quality difference between these and the Audeze Penrose? 2. Will you be reviewing the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal? Thanks.

It’s been out for a long time now. People keep saying the sound sucks but the design is so good

Nice review. The big problem I have with my Arctis Pro Wireless Bluetooth is that after using Bluetooth, even when I turn Bluetooth off, the volume wheel on the headset wants to adjust Bluetooth volume. Disconnecting and reconnecting the base station seems to make it go back to adjusting the 2.4 GHz volume like I want it to, but I'm not sure what the "official" way is supposed to be.

I swear badseed always has a good outfit on every video

As usual, I love the review. I'm curious what size head Brian has, as I don't really have any issues with the Virtuoso's myself. Then again, I don't make these big brain reviews so I can imagine there's a difference. I've used the Arctis 7 before I switched to the Corsair Virtuoso. I miss the 'volume mixer' concept of the Arctis where Chat and Game audio are two separate devices, and I really appreciate that being mentioned in the review! Why don't all headsets have this? The build quality of the Virtuoso is on a different level, and especially after using the Arctis for a few months I noticed the elastic headband was starting to stretch. You can readjust it up to a certain extent but I found it to be less comfortable somehow. I don't see that being a problem for the Virtuoso's though.

Love the Videos and reviews. I'll check out the documentary channel as well. Can you rank these headsets based on sidetone? I prefer a well delivered sidetone, then audio, then wireless, etc... Or straight up which ones have sidetone that's too low in volume. - thanks

I for one, love your audio stuff and wish you'd do more, especially blue tooth. If ever we get Panda killer with better head padding so it isn't painful and which also interfaces well with PC and meeting apps, I want to know, regardless of price. Heaven forbid it has a killer mic and on headset dual channel control.

I'm rocking a Virtuoso SE which is basically the same thing minus bluetooth, 2 years so far and battery is still around the 12 to 15 hour duration and I use them daily since I work from home so I can say these have been put though thousands of hours of music, voice chat and gaming, and at least 200 charging cycles. My biggest advice is getting some custom earpads that are made for this model, they are on Amazon and are like 35$ for 2 pairs, get whichever because by the year the original earpads that came with it fell apart but these new ones are much more comfortable and have shown no sign of deterioration almost a year later. I kinda want to buy the XTs just because the Bluetooth is nice to have and the cables that came with this are nothing sort of amazing quality but I hate buying things that I don't need and these are still good to go for another 2 more years, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if these reached 5 years still being solid.

Great, thorough review! Thanks! I am purchasing the Virtuoso XT soon! EDIT: The Arctis Pro, though perhaps superior in some ways, is VERY FRAGILE! The cheap plastic where the headband attaches to the headphone breaks easily and seems to be a common problem! I hope steelseries fixes that! Based on durability alone, I have to go with the Virtuoso XT, just for longevity!

One day I had enough of the static noise, I just tap slightly hard on both side of the drivers (where it's covered by "plastics." Then after that, the sound from behind gave out on me. I could still hear sounds from both side, but not when there's sound from behind. It's weird and it's cheaply built also.

I guessed I now know the reason why I can't simply let go of my Arctis. it really is a well-rounded can~

keyboard coverage is awesome but vids on other tech is great too

Fun fact, my m30x marketed as 20khz can push past 23khz, I couldn't tell you how far past that since I do not have any program that can play that high and my hearing completely stops sometime after that but I've had experience with a pair that did cut out around 14k Also most audio ever put in music is usually ranging from 0-16khz not 20khz, it rarely ever reaches that point

Comming from the plasticbomber Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum... just bought myself the Corsair Virtuoso RGB XT and it is from another world. The buildquality is outstanding and the functionality is just awesome.

@5:10 you mention the lack of secondary audio driver. I can't find any headsets that have this feature. But I'm also wondering why you would need it given the software solutions available.

Hi there! Awesome video man! have two questions?? First question is can I use the Virtuoso XT for my Xbox Series X console? On Best Buy for “compatibility” says PS5/PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch and Mobile. I don’t see anything for Xbox Series X. Second question is can I save the EQ Preset settings from software onto the headset? That way I can use them on my Xbox Series X when playing games.

Thank You for this video! I was about to buy them, but just to confirm you're saying i can;t have both inputs coming through? So i couldn't have discord coming through on bluetooth on my phone and my game audio over wireless from my laptop?

Hey Brian, out of curiosity, does your Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless have any audible white noise/hissing sounds? I just received my 3rd replacement and they've all had it. Just not too sure if I've been super unlucky with a bad batch or that's just the flaw with this particular headset.

Just picked up a pair of 670's on Cell's recc. I also have a G502 Lightspeed. Had the noise issue, updated the headset and the dongle firmware and the noise was still there. Decided to change USB ports to a separate header.. bingo noise gone. Might want to give it a try.

@Badseed Tech how do you keep all the colourful lights from overexposure. Trying to do a similar lighting style in my streams but all I have is a Logitech Brio and a warm coloured desk lamp. Send help.

Sound aside, the XT is so much better fitting than the SE. The SE felt like I had a clamp on my head. The XT has a slight tightness on the top of the head band but only noticeable after several hours of gaming / watching media

Well crap! I’ve been looking to swap out my BD MMX300 with these, but since my head size is in the higher end of the scale, I might have a problem. Any chance you have tried the MMX 300, and can tell me how they are sizewize compared to the XT?

Had this headset for awhile now on my ps4 and it’s worked perfectly love it. UNTIL All of a sudden now any time someone speaks in the party chat there’s this weird crackling/staticky noise and it’s not going away.

Have the SE, have owned everything from Sennheiser to arctis, vmoda boom pro, antlion. And stand by this Corsair mic being better than them all

2:28 thats all i needed to know!

I know they are in a different price range but you have to give credit to the GPRO X wireless, it punches above its weight to be fair. i know you mention them at the end of the video but i think they are almost in the league of some of the other mentions TBH

What would have made these perfect for me is if they added a built in mic that works when in Bluetooth so when connected to my phone I can use to answer calls while just using them as a normal headset.

Hyper x cloud worries are the best choice personally. Better priced, way comfortable, it didn’t have Bluetooth but 2.4 ghz connection is more reliable anyway

You really need to check out the SteelSeries arctic 9 next cause I feel like those are probably just slightly better than the xt. I'm mentioning this because I have any seen you talk about the arctis 9 but you did talk about the arctic pro which u said had a detriment to where the volume was on the dock and not the ear cups. The last thing is that none of the combo Bluetooth headsets have 2 sets of mics which i feel like is definitely implementable that i feel u can mention. THis is because what if i wanna take this out make these my outdoor headset and having that mic kinda stic out is just not worth it. Some people can and will prefer to have ALL their stuff be done off the one headset. Imagine if it had built-in mics and the detachable I could totally wear these out ona commute.

Wow that mic is really good.

I previously used bluetooth Bowers and Wilkins for everything but I was having some issues with games cutting out recently so I decided to look for a dedicated gaming headset. I ended up going for the Corsair XT and I'm happy with them. I loved the old Steelseries Pro but have never been that impressed with the newer Arctis line, I owned a couple of pairs and they were pretty flat sounding with really crap options for EQ in the software. I already have iCue installed for my case components so I ended up going Corsair instead. I also tried the Logitech Wireless Pro X, the microphone is awful and the audio quality isn't particularly good.

You can connect your phone to Bluetooth and discord to control the volume with the virtuoso xt.

I had to return these when they first came out because they smiley hurt my ears due to the shallow cups and shape of them. Looks like these still don’t fix the original issues. Sad cause they did sound great and the mic was really good! Just sad Corsair didn’t listen to customer feedback

is this better than the h3 pro hybrid from epos? im choosing between the 2 because i really need that bluetooth connection

I personally think A50 and Virtuoso are out of the equation as I could spend a little more to get the Arctis Pro with hotswappable batteries. The dilemma is Arctis Pro or BlackShark V2 Pro for me lol. I could save a lot with the V2 Pro if I can sacrifice the features of the Arctis Pro.

@denn15m8

2 жыл бұрын

Just a heads up, I had the blackshark pro and it was garbage, it had a lot of interference on the wireless and constantly crackling and dropping quality. Also build quality was rubbish and knobs and buttons were making noise. The steel series is really the only option but I'm sick of their rubbish sound quality, especially for music. So I'm in the same boat now, do I sacrifice sound quality for ease of use, or do I just get these and live with the one sound device in windows and not have the chat/game knob the steel series gives you...?

I have both the Arctis Pro Wireless and the XT and use them on a PS5, primarily. On that platform the XT can't hold a candle to the Arctis Pro Wireless, specifically because you cannot EQ the XT on anything except PC. With that, they are quiet and flat compared to what you can do with the transmission box the APW has. It let's you EQ an already good set of cans, that I've had for over 2 years, and make the sound more of your own. Plus they are a bit louder, after the latest firmware update, than the XT so that's another notch for the APW. If I were a PC user, the XT would probably win out, but as a console pleb, the APW is the way to go.

Update: Currently doin a lot of Crossplay with Destiny 2, and using Discord to chat. I have to say the Bluetooth implementation of the APW is actually quite better than expected. SHORE, you need to adjust the volumes of each channel, on the lil box, but you can do that from the headset. While running Bluetooth, you just click the volume wheel to toggle between the main audio, and Bluetooth audio, and mix them as you see fit. I have my box sitting next to my tv, about 8ft from where I sit, and easily mix my chat with a couple wheel clicks and turns without having to get up. Still not as set up as the Corsair, but still very nice
