Corsair Virtuoso XT vs SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless - Style and functionality |
|
This is a video to compare the @corsair Virtuoso XT with the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless. These are two fantastic headsets with interesting features that make them worth considering. One of the biggest selling points of the SteelSeries headset has always been the dual connectivity option with wireless and Bluetooth working at the same time. Now Corsair has that too.
The Corsair Virtuoso meanwhile might be superior thanks to hi-res 96Khz/24-bit audio and more connectivity options. It has wired USB-C connectivity, Bluetooth® with Qualcomm® aptX™ HD, SlipStream wireless connection and 3.5mm too. It also has superior specs that include: Audio Driver Custom 50mm Neodymium (matched pairs) Frequency 2.4Ghz Wireless Range Up to 60 feet Battery Life Up to 15 hours Frequency Response 20Hz – 40kHz Impedance 32 Ohms @ 2.5kHz Sensitivity 109 dB (± 3 dB) Mic Type Omni-directional broadcast grade (9.5mm) Mic Impedance 2.0k Ohms Mic Frequency Response 100Hz – 10kHz Mic Sensitivity -42dB (± 2dB) Dimensions 170mm(L) x 100mm(W) x 195mm(H) Weight 382g Warranty 2 years However, sadly for me the comfort just isn't there and it's sorely lacking in padding and depth, making it hurt my ears after a short period. It's lighweight and nicely designed both aesthetically and technologically but just doesn't stand up against the A50 for comfort.

You can also use both connections at the same time, so you can browse videos on your phone (for example) without disconnecting from the PC audio. You can place calls with the mic too. So this is one flexible headset! It also has a higher frequency response, easy to use on-ear controls, the ability to customise the look and feel with swappable driver covers and more too. Is the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless the best gaming headset? https://youtu.be/K5TeiOHZYUY Corsair Virtuoso XT vs Astro A50 - High-quality headset stand off https://youtu.be/NB7oIxHROOU Big thanks to my super awesome YouTube members: Meatykeyboard, Rawrr483, SirSpawnsALot, Jeffery Johnson, Kraken Tortoise, Beaster Bunny, Jay Shank 007, DStarastins and you?
