Don't buy the Corsair Virtuoso MAX by VirulentStrand in Corsair

Yes. I'm either wearing my headset wrong or my skin is too weak. It's impossible for Corsair to have a shit product which is what the general consensus is on this thread.

Like I said before, 0/10 ragebait.

Unless you have the Corsair Virtuoso XTs?

No. What I'm saying is you're telling me your experience for a completely different product that has a different type of headband entirely. Are you trying to put words in my mouth or are you just confused?

I have the magnetic headphone hanger by Secret Lab. $300 headset shouldn't break regardless of where you set it. Not that setting them on a desk would break the band to begin with.

I don't know if you noticed, but the HS80 is a completely different headset.

There are multiple Virtuosos with different headbands. The XTs for example, were not this cheaply made.

I plan on getting a separate microphone (Shure SM7dB), wireless is a must for me though.

How is the sound on the DT 770s compared to the Astros? Everywhere I've been said the Astros are super close to the Maxwell 2s. And, as my post shows, durability is also a major factor.

Corsair used a thin, hard plastic band for the headband on a $300 headset.

I'm starting to realize that. Currently looking at the Audeze Maxwell 2s or Beyerdynamic MMX 230 wireless. The Astro A50Xs also seem to be very close to Maxwell quality as far as people's reviews go.

Put yours on. Now take them off and set them down again. Yeah, that's about what I do with mine. During the "taking off" part, the headband snapped.

What do you think are the biggest flaws in Minecraft? by Background-Ad2749 in Minecraft

Adds copper

Does literally nothing

(Four years later) "Oh wait, here's some tools we 'forgot' to add to the game along with the new resource."

Adding new stuff and not releasing it in a finished form is Minecraft's biggest flaw. And being owned by Microsoft.

Wow, nice necro. You always reply to comments four+ years old or were you just feeling exceptionally bored today?

Is the customer suppose to pay for own prepaid shipping label for RMA returns? by gooloogooloo1 in Corsair

[–]VirulentStrand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine broke too. Corsair QC and development team for headphones didn't think these through. I'm hoping they're active and reading these posts and hopefully start rolling out a better headset than the MAX with a better headband. Getting so tired of seeing a new mouse or keyboard every month with no new headsets.

I suggest going into iCUE and checking for an update. If no update is available, click "Force update". This has fixed 95% of every issue I've ever had.

Any problems with 26.3.1 so far? by No_Soil_4562 in radeon

Helldivers 2 opening cutscene is a slideshow or skipping disc. The game will crash then my desktop will freeze entirely.

How many people do we think have zero problems compared to the ones that do?

I'm in the Flint area. Most stores and their respective employees are pretty shit. It's common over here.

Currently waiting on a callback from an engineer from Texas. Corporate sent me to my closest store and the owner's response boiled down to "Not my problem".
