Hi,

 

I'm looking for a good/decent comfortable wireless gaming headset, with a acceptable mic (it will be use mostly for online classes and nothing else) and in white color. I would like it to be under 200$. Any suggestion is welcomed!

 

I love the looks of the Corsair Virtuoso Wireless in white, but is it any good for 250$CAD? Or how about the Steelseries Arctis 7 Wireless? What's your opinion on those?

 

Thx!

 

NHL.

Just go for either. None of them will sound close to a real pair headphones and a seperate mic anyways.

PM or DM me if you have any questions about audio.

But if you absolutely have to choose between the two: which one would you pick? Or if neither, what would you recommend me?

Haven't seen an auduophile review on the Actis, but the Virtuoso apparently sound horrible. I wouldn't recommend wireless altogether, but at least the Actis are less of a fat avoid.
