Corsair is selling factory refurbished Virtuoso wireless RGB headset with 7.1 SS, non-SE version, for $99.99, with free shipping.

Click on this link [corsair.com] and add to cart.

These run about $149.99 new at various vendors.

They're the non-SE version, which supposedly have a better microphone than the (more expensive) SE version. They work wirelessly with the supplied USB dongle, or directly via wired USB-C for better sound fidelity. You can also go with the 3.5 audio jack for compatibility with other systems. They have a subtle (but IMO attractive) RGB logo that can be programmed via the Corsair iCUE software. They're considered a higher-end gaming headset and are well rated in most reviews that I've seen:

This is refurbished by Corsair themselves?

I just checked with the sales rep, and yes, these are factory refurbished by Corsair. Here's the link he gave me:

I've edited the OP to reflect this.

I cannot comment as to if they have resolved anything with factory refurbishes but I can tell you as somebody who is owned three pairs of these that after extended use they can become uncomfortable to wear and they are plagued with connectivity issues. I have had many occasions where it would not connect after re-syncing turning the device on and off, everything I tried didn't make a difference until I let it charge back to full, or try again later. To this day I am unsure what causes this. With that being said they look great they sound great and they have a decent battery life assuming you turn the lights off.

Blarg, this actually sounds almost exactly like what I've been looking for. I want a relatively no frills headset with a much nicer Mic then what I'm using. The only issue is that I really didn't want it in white. If I could get the carbon I'd grab this in a moment, but I'm just not sure about the white.

I've had mixed - but generally positive - experiences with refurbs directly from Corsair.

Purchased a Corsair VOID Wireless Dolby 7.1 RGB Gaming Headset a few years back for $59.99, came in a plain brown box, no physical signs of wear and worked wonderfully. Still using it to this day. I was satisfied, so I ordered an identical one for my wife. It arrived in horrible condition: the band was scratched up, the left earcup was banged up with some sticky/tape residue and the volume wheel was physically broken / completely immobile. Opened a support ticket for the defective one and - to my surprise - Corsair sent me a replacement headset within 2 days and ANOTHER headset for my trouble. Both replacement headsets worked fine, so I asked if they wanted one of them back. They seemed confused by my question, so I left it at that. I've since also purchased refurb'd K65 RGB and K70 RGB keyboards from them, and they're still working great.

TL;DR
Bought 2 refurb'd wireless Corsair VOID headsets.
1 was broken. Corsair replaced it with 2 more wireless VOID headsets.
Got 3 refurb'd headsets for the price of 2.

How does this compare to the newer wireless Xbox headset?

Coupon code doesn't seem to work anymore. That was fast.

This is active again, just bought a 2nd pair for my son (have been using the ones from 2021 for last 2 years very happily). No code needed this time, they are simply $99 for Corsair Refurbished.

They're comfortable for several hours of gaming. Mic works well, sound is good for gaming. Mic can be removed if not wanted, and it has a mute button on the mic, which is nice. They look great with the RGB, and charge holds well (I have a headset stand with usb charging port Alienware that matches the aesthetic. I charge them most nights).
