This is almost certainly the best gaming headset Corsair has crafted to date. For several different reasons.

1 - It comes with Corsair Slipstream wireless technology, as well as other connection options including USB-C and 3.5mm.

2 - It's a high-fidelity, high-res headset that is capable of 96kHz/24 bit audio when connected to a PC using the USB-C

3 - It has 20 hours of battery life before it needs charging.

4 - It has a premium design that includes large earcups and faux leather padding that blocks out external noise. As well as 50mm drivers and 7.1 virtual surround sound with customisable EQ options in the Corsair iCue software.

5 - A "broadcast quality" microphone that's suprisingly good. The voice over for this video was recorded with that mic to let you hear it for yourself.

One other thing that Corsair doesn't mention is the fact this headset also works with smartphones via USB-C to USB-C connection, but they don't supply a cable for it oddly.
