Hardly ever a couple of the gaming headsets by Corsair has proved to be the best gaming headsets and the Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE is certainly one of them. Although it comes at increased value than the common headsets, the features it affords comparable to comfy match, wi-fi connectivity, and spectacular sound make it definitely worth the cash. The advantage of the Virtuoso RGB SE is that it’s equally appropriate with PS4 (together with PS4 Professional) Xbox One S, One X, and PC, and the danger factor is that you must use a headphone jack to attach it with a cell phone or Nintendo Swap’s dock.

However you’ll actually get superb sound with some further bass, whether or not you prefer it or not, which means, moreover gaming, it’s equally good to hearken to music or watch music.  In addition to its versatility in utilization and rich sound expertise, you’re going to get a lot of consolation as you’ll be able to put on it for a lot of hours without any drawback. Nonetheless, the headset is way costly as in comparison with different gaming headsets, and that’s why you may even see the record of best gaming headsets for alternate options.

Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wi-fi SE Specs

Design

Measuring at 6.7 x 3.9 x 7.7 inches, the Virtuoso RGB SE is definitely a big gaming headset which means it isn’t for individuals with small heads. The headset’s ear cups are outfitted with silver and aluminum materials together with a smooth cushioned black headband. The headset additionally features a versatile and removable microphone, foam round ear cups.  There was additionally a headset carrying case made of fabric and it was made similar to a purse. The ear cups could be folded in flat to handle the house within the carrying bag. The headset is significantly better and improved than its earlier model Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wi-fi which has a plastic ear cup and appears low cost. As it is a wi-fi gaming headset, the left ear cup has a charging port, as well as a removable mic with a mute button and three.5mm audio port. The mic has an exquisite blue colored LED that turns into inexperienced or pink when the mic is in use or muted respectively. The appropriate ear cup comes with a button for wired/wi-fi connectivity and volume control. I believe the wi-fi button is definitely a power button that activates/off the wi-fi characteristic if the audio jack shouldn’t be in use.

You possibly can flip off to make use of the wired mode by plugging within the audio wire to its 3.5mm audio jack. This operation doesn’t fully turn on/off the headset; for this objective, you must flip it off out of your gaming setup. Although the ear cups include RGB-enabled Corsair emblem, sadly, you won’t be capable to see them working whereas carrying the headset which, I believe is a junk characteristic that must be changed with some extra necessary features. You possibly can, nonetheless, disable the RGB characteristic your self.

Consolation

This is without doubt one of the comfiest gaming headsets we’ve ever got here throughout. As already mentioned, the Virtuoso RGB SE comes with a plush headband lined with small but linear stripes round it. This distinctive association across the headband makes it simple to put on, even for long gaming classes.  In addition to that, the big ear cups, cushioned with very smooth foam enhance the consolation and don’t push exhausting when they’re worn across the ears. The froth not solely prevents sweating, but additionally absorbs sweat, if, produced in an intensive gaming session. Owing to the big measurement of the headset, the headscarf may not match well to folks with a small head.

Options

The advantage of Virtuoso RGB Wi-fi is that PC and Xbox One customers can control most of its features utilizing the iCUE software program. The software program interface is very person-pleasant and allows you to customize choices. I used to be additionally capable of regulating equalization choices and mic ranges. The key drawback I skilled with this headset was vocal emphasized sound and harsh higher frequencies in sound profiles, which was a bit disappointing.  On the great facet, the mic of the headset gave wonderful efficiency in each facet. I repeatedly used the mic for about 4 hours, for video calling on Skype, and Whatsapp, streaming on Twitch and speaking with different gamers on Dungeons & Dragons group on Discord.

In the meantime, I took suggestions of my fellow gamers and coworkers about how higher I sound at that point. Everybody commented that my voice was clear noise-free. By way of a battery, the headset provided identical efficiency as provided by Corsair. The headset took three hours to completely charge the battery. The battery, in check session, lasted almost 20 hours with a single charge. We nonetheless, turned the headset off for typically when it was not in use.

Gaming efficiency

Earlier than you go for the Virtuoso RGB SE, keep in mind that that is the headset designed primarily for PS4 and PCs. For each of those units, you simply plug the dongle into the system and the headset will work like an appeal with rich sound, good bass, and ideal echo. In addition, On PC, I used to be capable of tweak the sound based on my style by utilizing Corsair Utility Engine (iCUE) software program.  Once we in contrast its efficiency on PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Swap (by plugging within the audio jack), the sound of high quality was comparatively higher on default units as in comparison with Swap. For the efficiency check, the titles that I performed have been Murderer’s Creed Origins and BioShock, Remaining Fantasy XIV. The headset, by default, produced balanced bass with a higher concentrate on treble and vocals. The issue with default vocal was that was emphasized extra in Remaining Fantasy XIV than it was in BioShock.

This resulted in a loud voice and fewer concentrate on recreation music which typically distorted sound. I used to be, nonetheless, capable of tune the sound’s treble, stereo, and bass by Corsair’s software program that helped me eradicating the issue to a big extent. General, the sound was significantly better as in comparison with its earlier model that distorted sound resulting from its plastic ear cups. In each recreation, we noticed treble-heavy sound with heavy vocals balanced bass which is often required in many of the video games.

Music efficiency

As already mentioned the headset works well, offered that you know the way to make customized sound profiles utilizing the iCUE software program. The software program helps you to customize bass, treble, and echo. We performed some blended tracks to check its efficiency for sluggish, quick, and bass-heavy music. The general efficiency was passable and never extraordinary.

Remaining Verdict

All in all, the Corsair Virtuoso RGB SE delivers what it affords. The headset affords good gaming sound for PS4 and PC, however, for different units, you must compromise a little bit of the sound expertise as it isn’t solely for all units. This is a wonderful wi-fi gaming headset that you can go for, although it extracts a bit more cash out of your pocket than a median headset takes. In case you are a Corsair lover, this headset should be on your radar.
