My go-to gaming headset is on sale for Black Friday, and it’s worth it now

digitaltrends.com:

Over the past few years, the best gaming headsets have gone premium. Gone are the days of gaudy headphones loaded with RGB lights and angular designs that stick out like a sore thumb. These days, the major audio players are more interested in creating high-quality headsets that you wouldn’t be embarrassed to wear in public. The catch, though, is that these often come at a high price tag since these devices are being marketed more as lifestyle products than gaming ones.

That makes Black Friday such a crucial moment for gaming audiophiles. This weekend is your chance to get a premium headset for a reasonable price. If you need help figuring out which one to pick, I’d recommend Corsair’s Virtuoso Max Wireless Headset, which is on sale at various retailers for $290 (down from $330). I feel comfortable recommending that even if it has its fair share of problems, because it’s become my go-to headset over the past few months.

So what makes the Virtuoso Max so special? The fact that it’s not very special at all. Rather than loading it up with back-of-the-box gimmicks, Corsair focused on making a clean, functional pair of cans that work across a range of devices. While there’s a separate pair you can buy for Xbox specifically, the core headset supports PC, Mac, PlayStation, Switch, mobile and more thanks to its 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth support.

As far as audio quality goes, the Virtuoso Max checks a lot of boxes thanks to its clear 50mm Graphene drivers. You’ll want to mess with the EQ settings, as this is your typical bass-heavy gaming headset, but the audio shines once you get it tweaked to the right spot. Most
