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 whether 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, again it's a C, a proper 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.

Located at the bottom of each ear cup you'll stub,e into a thing a two. On the right side, you'll stumble into a volume rocker, knob and USB toggle and Bluetooth controls. On the left side a USB-C port, 3.5mm jack, and plug-in for the detachable mic. Sitting neatly beneath the detachable mic is the mute button.

A magnificent ring of light around the mic tip turns red when the mic is muted and white when on. Oh and check this one, even when the mic is turned off, it’ll automatically engage when answering a phone call. Cool right? Btw the headset talks to you when it turns on or disabled the MIC.
