The XT edition and the MIC is of stunning broadcast quality. If you want to use it, just plug it into the dedicated slot. You can position it wherever as that boom-stick is flexible. And hey sound quality is among the very best of what gaming headsets have to offer. Between the extended frequency range and Dolby Atmos, games sound also is incredible, but we'll talk a bit more about that later on in the article. 

Once powered on, if the MIC is off the tip will turn red, MIC on will make it color green, so you always have a reference to see whether or not you are muted. At the end of the stick close to the cup, you can see a small button called the on-off switch. 

• Short key press (0.1-1 seconds) on the mic mute button toggles mute on (microphone status LED will turn RED) and off.
• Long key press (2-8 seconds) on the mic mute button toggles sidetone on and off

Corsair is the king of premium RGB bling, and as such the XT edition has RGB embedded into the cups. It's based on a micro-perforation process, enabling dynamic RGB lighting shown through the aluminum ear cup plates and yes, that does look quite special. 

With iCUE, you can then arrange your RGB preference, but that can also be a solid white color or off. I can't say that RGB had a lot of effect on battery life. Btw when charging, the LED will pulse while being charged and turn solid green at full charge. Red is a low battery charge, orange medium and green is a full battery.
