The headset comes with proper 50mm drivers which deliver a lot more volume with less distortion, especially in bass. In comparison, the Sennheiser HD800 has 56mm drivers and a 40mm voice coil (because the technology is rather different, it's hard to call Sennheiser drivers, 'drivers'), so the Virtuoso is getting up there though. These are the same magnets they have been using on all their premium headsets btw.

The earcups on the Virtuoso are big and padded with quite a bit of adjustment for comfort. Overall comfortable wither you have a small or big head, really should not be an issue.

The headband is comfy and padded, but with little extra touches like the thread sewing. Differences over previous generations can be found in the design of the headband, whose hinges/swivel points have been redesigned to be much more hard-wearing. The ear cups can be rotated completely so they'll adjust themselves perfectly to the shape of your head or oddly shaped head.

Cup size then, yeah it's a C, a good hand full. in this case, covering the ears in a nice soft fashion. Padding materials are a thing for Corsair, they have been paying more attention to it using soft-foam and memory resistant materials.

As stated, you can opt Wireless, wired USB, or 3.5mm for a universal connection to mobile devices, consoles, or controllers. That's a lot of flexibility right there. The lower USB connection btw is intended for the boomstick (MIC). Also, there is a super tiny LED link indicator flashing green when linked up.

At the left side cup, you can switch between USB and wireless, also there is a circular volume knob available, linked towards the volume level of Windows 10 (media key compatible).
