The Corsair Virtuoso Max Wireless headset is the brand’s flagship premium pair of cups, and this was apparent the second I carefully removed them from the included leather-bound case. From the sleek logo-embossed headband, the bright LED-lit-up metal cups and microphone, to the superb audio quality from the 50mm graphite audio drivers - every inch of the Virtuoso Max is just as impressive as the last.
Naturally, this premium quality comes with a premium price. The Virtuoso Max Wireless costs $329.99 / £280, which is pricier than nearly all the best gaming headsets I’ve come across so far. For console players, particularly those that stick to the PS5 or Nintendo Switch, this price could be a big ask - as while it will bring out the rich and nuanced sounds of any game you through its way, all its customization, including its sound and lighting, relies on having access to software like iCue and the Dolby Atmos which are unique to PC and Mac platforms.
