for more context though; ICUE detects the dongle but not the headset. (See first image attachment) Before the update there was a tab at the top for the headset. Same issue here. The headset reset suggested above does nothing; and from what i can tell is just Corsairs copy and paste response when they don't have a solution. What differentiates the Virtuoso from the rest of Corsair’s lineup, though, are the high-end aspirations of the audio components themselves. The 50mm neodymium speaker drivers are welcome, but at this price range, they’re table stakes. There are plenty of less expensive headphones with the same drivers. That said, the headphones boast a very generous dynamic range of 20Hz to 40,000Hz. That reaches much further into the high end than the typical gaming headsets, which often emphasize bass response to the exclusion of all else. And it features virtual 7.1 surround sound for PC gaming, which you can toggle from the desktop software. Also, the range of Corsair's Slipstream 2.4 GHz tech doesn't seem to be quite as far as Logitech's competing Lightspeed alternative. At least in my apartment, the Virtuoso XT's audio would cut out consistently once I moved about three rooms away from the PC with the transceiver (with doors open between all rooms). With the Logitech G Pro X Lightspeed Wireless, I could consistently venture an extra room away before its audio became unstable. Your VIRTUOSO headset provides 7.1 surround sound to help make your gaming experience more immersive.

Realistic virtual immersive mix/listening rooms, which can be customised acoustically for your own or other rooms. There is still the tab for the dongle in ICUE and I get the same issue with pairing but the solution that worked for you doesn't work for me, when I switch from wireless to wired mode it just disconnects the dongle and stops the pairing process. We all wish we remembered to charge our devices more often and we all inevitably forget from time to time. That’s why a 300 hour battery life on these wireless cans is so appealing. None of that would matter if the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless sounded and but it’s consistently crisp and powerful. DTS Headphone: X Spatial Audio support further enriches why all PC gamers could do with it, while the noise-cancelling mic works admirably well for those noisy sessions.can any one at corsair confirm they're rolling out a fix? (and maybe nudge your QA team to actually do compatibility tests before rolling out an update?)

More importantly you can create custom profiles for your headset, such as for music and gaming, and each one can have its own EQ settings and lighting effects. Out of the box, you get five EQ presets, including a clean “pure direct” mode and presets intended for cinema, bass boost, and FPS gaming. On the lighting front, there are 17 options with typical color customizations. Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE - Gaming When I first gave a listen to Corsair's upgraded headset I fired up some music and was perplexed. As with the previous version of the headset, which our reviewer really liked, Corsair says the XT model has paired 50mm neodymium drivers and a wide 20 Hz-40kHz frequency range. So I expected the headset to sound quite good -- only it didn't. Lows sounded muted in the mix, while mids were harsh and overrepresented. The microphone is removable, so you can get it completely out of the way when you don’t need it. The stem is flexible, but since it’s sheathed in rubber, it has a slight tendency not to hold its shape, unless you don’t bend it very far. It has a 9.5 mm omnidirectional mic, and there’s a mute button built into the base where it plugs into the headset. A gorgeous ring around the mic glows red or green, making it easy to tell in your peripheral vision if you’re live or muted -- another nice detail.

I also like how step 2 is "Connect the Receiver", even though you can't open that window without the receiver present. Shouldn't step 1 be "disconnect the receiver" then? All that said, not everything is excellent here. The rated battery life is just 15 hours, 5 hours less than the previous model. Corsair says, though, that the dual connectivity feature leads to the shorter battery life rating, and that you should still get about 20 hours of runtime if you're just connected to one device. Corsair claims the headset should last about 20 hours on a charge, and there’s a six-foot braided USB-C charging cable you can use to turn the Virtuoso into wired headphones on the PC. When using the cable, your PC can pass full high fidelity 24bity/96KHz audio to the headphones. You can also connect these headphones to an Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, or mobile phone with the included five feet of braided 3.5 mm audio cable. Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE - Software The VIRTUOSO RGB WIRELESS headset comes with a detachable microphone with an LED ring that indicates whether the microphone is currently live or mute. Overall, once I installed iCue and was able to adjust the audio settings, sound quality was very good on the Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT, whether I was running and gunning in Doom Eternal or working while listening to the latest Portion Control EP.

Wireless connectivity is the signature feature here. Corsair has built these headphones around its new, proprietary 2.4GHz “Slipstream” tech, which uses intelligent frequency shifting to keep the signal strong regardless of ambient RF activity at a range of up to 60 feet. In principle, this should avoid the many problems with traditional Bluetooth audio. To make Slipstream work, you need to plug the included USB dongle into either your PC or PS4. It sets up in seconds with no additional drivers required.The Slipstream wireless connection uses Intelligent Frequency Shift (ISF) to ensure the strongest signal possible and has a range up to 60 feet. The headset is compatible with the PlayStation 4 and PC.
