so im thinking of getting myself a wireless headset and wanted to ask around for your impressions.

 

right now im between the corsair virtuoso and the sennheiser GSP 370

 

im a no nonsense kinda guy so a crazy amount of rgb or anything isnt really my thing and the claimed 100h battery life on the GSPs really peaked my eye. 

on the other hand as i understand it the virtuoso offers a feature for feeding the mic audio back into the headphones to make them seem more open than they are which i do love using standard 3.5mm headphones directly on my blue yeti.

 

so idk let me here if you are for one or the other or maybe have experience with a different pair that you love and would like to recommend. budget is basically open. of course im gonna consider price differences but if its that much better ill also pay that much more if not then not.

I'm a big fan of what Sennheiser makes so this is totally biased, but go with the GSP 370.

 

Another option is the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless. One of my friends have it and he thinks it's great.

Please mention or quote me if you want a response. :)

Sennheiser! Corsair looks better okkk. But Sennheiser know thier shit regarding drivers and mics!

i just noticed that the 370 seems to be fairly new and only available from one store right now. for the same money i could get the 670 'as new' used.

hearing the Corsair Virtuoso is very good.  Sennheiser mics aren't that amazing, they definitely put more into their speakers than mics.

On the cheaper units yes, but the GSP 670 has a verry good mic and exceptional sound quality. Better than all other gaming headsets. More of the sound quality and type like Senns HD range (largely the same drivers are used)

FOLDING MONTH 2021! GOGOGO and save on some heating costs 🙂

Good info, but that's a $350 headset.  No offense, but if you can't make a $350 speaker sound good, you have problems :)

 

Sub $200... I wouldn't put Sennheiser on top of the heap.  That's where the OP's budget lies.

yes i saw that video as well that how stumbled over them in the first place. and again i do love that feature where they put mic audio back into the headphones to make em sound more open. but then again im not sure but sennheiser has a lot of good headphones that are actually open backed not sure about the 370 or 670 though

Since you're comparing 2 headphones in a price range, that kind of defines your budget usually.

 

But yeah, get attitude with people trying to help. Best way to go about it.  Smart.

 

Enjoy your headphones, if you get the Virtuoso... post a review if you want.

dude didnt you see that smiley there at the end i tried my hardest to make clear that im not seriously offended and only joking around

 

yes those 2 happen to be similiar priced but explicitly said that the budget was open. way to escalate what was intended as a harmless joke
