You have to be total member to see the discounted price . You can also price match to Amazon who also has for that price as well
From what I can see the Virtuoso is higher end model. That said these headphones are a new model released this year and also the microphone can get hidden inside the ear cup where those Corsair looks like it can be disconnected and/or replaced. Also the battery on these is 3x as long. Also these don't support wired 3.5mm but do support 2.4 and Bluetooth as well as wired usb
These are predominantly a PC gaming headphone from what I see which is perfect for me at least
If he needs Xbox you need the Xbox version of these OR get the 7X from Amazon. The Xbox version of these 5 series is not on sale. Only the regular one that works with ps4/ps5 and switch along with PC

I need to be able to switch between wired and wireless if necessary. Also, I need RF with a dongle not BT which is why I was looking at these. I may still get them even though I bought the Corsairs last night. I like having a backup and it will give me a chance to compare them.
Thanks OP!
The wireless has a good, strong signal even when a fairly decent distance away. They are strong an even longer distance than the Virtuosos, and also the Corsair Void headset I have.
The audio is good, and the folks I've spoken to and asked have said the audio to them has been very good. Both are comparable to the Virtuosos, and maybe a bit better than the Voids.
The headphones are comfy for extended periods. EX: Today, I have had them on for over 7 hours except lunch and they are still comfy. This is where the Virtuosos and the Voids beat the Steelseries Arctis. I find the Virtuosos and the Voids a bit more comfy, possibly because they are looser and my head does not feel as "squished".
One note that is annoying as h377. They come with an auto-timeout already set. The only way to change it is to download their software package and reset it. I cannot do that on the work system as we do not allow any third party software on there. So, I have to try to reset it on a different computer.
All in all, a good deal and worth the money.

Yeah I've been very happy with them. Battery life is excellent too.
