Higher ratedRanked #4 in Best Gaming Headsets

Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT

★★★★★4.1

$269as of Apr 21

The Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT offers a premium metal build and versatile connectivity options, including Bluetooth and aptX HD support.

Strengths

— Premium build quality with an aluminum headband and metal construction
— High-quality microphone suitable for clear voice communication
— Versatile connectivity including Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz wireless, and 3.5mm wired options

Watch-outs

— Heavy weight of 382g causes fatigue during extended use

Ranked #5 in Best Gaming Headsets

Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed

★★★★★4.0

$249as of Apr 21

The Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed is a premium gaming headset that excels in comfort, battery life, and versatile connectivity, making it a top choice for PC and PlayStation users. While the graphene drivers provide solid sound quality, they do not drastically reinvent the audio experience, and the high price may be a barrier for some. Additionally, Xbox users face significant feature and connection limitations compared to other platforms.

Strengths

— Exceptional comfort for long sessions with swivel hinges and dual ear pad options (leatherette and velour)
— Outstanding battery life lasting approximately 88 hours on a single charge
— Versatile connectivity supporting 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and 3.5mm wired connections

Watch-outs

— High price point compared to competitors in the gaming headset market
— Reduced feature set and connection limitations when used with Xbox consoles
— Graphene drivers do not offer a revolutionary audio improvement over previous models

How they stack up

Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT

The Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT is the only headset in this group to support the aptX HD audio codec for superior wireless sound, a feature absent in the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless and others. However, it is significantly heavier and less comfortable for long sessions than the Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed or the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro, and its shallow ear pads create a distinct discomfort not present in the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless.

Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed

The Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed stands out by offering versatile connectivity including Bluetooth and 3.5mm wired options, a flexibility that the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro lacks. While it shares the high price tag of the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, it provides superior comfort with dual ear pad options and a more robust battery life than the Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT, despite suffering from similar Xbox platform limitations.
