The Virtuoso Max Wireless packs Corsair's biggest feature list into one headset. It uses 50 mm graphene drivers with a listed 20 Hz to 40 kHz response, Dolby Atmos for spatial audio, and active noise cancellation with an ambient mode for hearing the room. A 2.4GHz dongle and Bluetooth can be connected at the same time, so a phone stays paired while you play. Corsair rates the battery at up to 60 hours with RGB off, or 30 hours with RGB on. For voice chat, the detachable mic is omni-directional, and Corsair points PC players to NVIDIA Broadcast for noise and echo reduction, which needs a compatible GeForce RTX card. The listed mic response is 100 Hz to 8 kHz. There is a separate officially licensed Xbox model. Corsair listed it at $249.99 against $299.99 when we checked.
