Corsair Virtuoso Max 2 review — wireless gaming headset gets hi-res

Hi-res audio over USB-C dongle, 70-hour battery, dual-mic, $399. The premium gaming headset tier just got real competition.

Corsair Virtuoso Max 2 ships at $399 with hi-res audio over USB-C dongle, 70-hour battery life, a dual-mic array with active noise cancellation, and the cleanest comfort I have used on a wireless headset that crosses 350g.

At $399 it is sitting at the top end of gaming wireless and bumping into the audio enthusiast tier. The HiFiman Edition XS at $359 is technically better for music, but the Virtuoso Max 2 wins on game audio positional accuracy and the mic chain — which is what gamers actually pay for.
