Yes and no.
 

I hated the Virtuoso but love the Voids.

 

Plenty of good ranking lists out there, Corsair never come top in the main categories...

 

i5 8600 - RX580 - Fractal Nano S - 1080p 144Hz

What is your budget? To answer your question tho. No, they simply aren't. The build might be nice. But the comfort and sound is so f'ing bad compared to good headphones with a seperate mic or for example cooler master MH/52 since they are studio monitors reskinned with a good mic on it.

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

I had the corsair void pro wired and when I got my sennheiser gsp300 I though that the void pro sounded really really bad ... lack of detail, muddy ... it's hard to describe ... it's like listening to something behind a wall ... like you hear stuff but not really ... the gsp300 are way superior to the corsair void pro ... my gf got the jbl quantum 100 and I can say that they are also far superior to the void pro ... but not the gsp300.

 

the corsair virtuose are the only corsair I head good things about in reviews ... but those might have been biased tho and I've never listened to them so that's about all I can say about those.

Z reviews reviewed the Virtuoso. He loved the build quality. Absutely hated the sound.

Z isn't always correct but I trust him enough when asessign a gaming headset to say whether it's good or not.

Well he is the one who got me interested in the x2hr in the first place ... along with a lot of other headphones so I watched coutless reviews and asked for advice before finaly deciding to go with the x2hr ... and now I've spotted the t50rp for 110 on local ads ... what to do, what to do ... 😉

you could get the t50 rp and send them in to get argon modded

interesting ... 8 weeks of waiting at minimum ...

 

was wondering about the dekoni blue ... are they worth it ... probably not more than the argon

nah if you like strong bass then maybe I like them vs stock t50 rp but I would look into a t60rp if I wanted a good alternative to the argon
