The Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT offers a premium metal build and versatile connectivity options, including Bluetooth and aptX HD support. However, its heavy weight and shallow ear pads can cause discomfort during long sessions, and the high price tag is hard to justify given the minimal upgrades over the previous model.

How it compares
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.
