Corsair Virtuoso XT vs SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless - Style and functionality

This is a video to compare the ‪@corsair‬ Virtuoso XT with the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless. These are two fantastic headsets with interesting features that make them worth considering. One of the biggest selling points of the SteelSeries headset has always been the dual connectivity option with wireless and Bluetooth working at the same time. Now Corsair has that too.

The Corsair Virtuoso meanwhile might be superior thanks to hi-res 96Khz/24-bit audio and more connectivity options. It has wired USB-C connectivity, Bluetooth® with Qualcomm® aptX™ HD, SlipStream wireless connection and 3.5mm too.

It also has superior specs that include:
Audio Driver Custom 50mm Neodymium (matched pairs)
Frequency 2.4Ghz
Wireless Range Up to 60 feet
Battery Life Up to 15 hours
Frequency Response 20Hz – 40kHz
Impedance 32 Ohms @ 2.5kHz
Sensitivity 109 dB (± 3 dB)
Mic Type Omni-directional broadcast grade (9.5mm)
Mic Impedance 2.0k Ohms
Mic Frequency Response 100Hz – 10kHz
Mic Sensitivity -42dB (± 2dB)
Dimensions 170mm(L) x 100mm(W) x 195mm(H)
Weight 382g
Warranty 2 years

However, sadly for me the comfort just isn't there and it's sorely lacking in padding and depth, making it hurt my ears after a short period. It's lighweight and nicely designed both aesthetically and technologically but just doesn't stand up against the A50 for comfort.

The SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless is one of my favourites because it has the ability to connect in two different ways - wireless and bluetooth, which means you can use it outside as well as on your PC. You can also use both connections at the same time, so you can browse videos on your phone (for example) without disconnecting from the PC audio. You can place calls with the mic too. So this is one flexible headset!
It also has a higher frequency response, easy to use on-ear controls, the ability to customise the look and feel with swappable driver covers and more too.
