11:084 Months with Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE Headset
The reviewer used the Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE for about four months and concludes it is a competent but not exceptional headset. It excels in build quality, design, and especially the microphone implementation, and performs well in gaming with good positional audio. However, music playback lacks some flair and the sound is not as amazing as other reviewers claim, with some minor issues like PS4 wireless dropouts and no 7.1 support on that platform.
