Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB WIRELESS XT vs FiiO Q5s

Personally the pleather doesn't bother me but comfort is subjective for the corsair XT since round earcups isn't everyone's cup of tea.

5 hours on other input options. This is more than enough for portable and desktop use for long music sessions. It gets fully charged in just around 3 hours with a 2A charger slot.

What can i say, i love my full metal corsair products, the RGB is really cool how they have the ring around the mic! The audio is great when its in the wireless mode and its even better when you use the Aux cord. The pressure on my ears isn't a problem because of the soft foam inside The headset fits great tho its not the softest head padding Yeeeeeeee yeeee Over all i would say you cant go wrong here, a must buy! Edit: after using it for awhile i would it needs some softer head padding

FiiO has equipped the Q5s Type-C with a high-quality audiophile-grade power supply unit consisting of low-noise LDO regulators. The analog, digital, low-pass, and amplification circuits of the Q5s Type-C are independently powered to ensure a pure sound output without any disturbances.

Wireless: The dongle provided is built strong and looks good. Functionally awesome too considering I can walk around my apartment without losing audio or mic connection. Comfort: Comfy but a bit too snug. The snugness does help with sound isolation though

I could maybe understand if this happened when it reached 10% battery life, that may be forgivable, but at 20-40% charge it should not disconnect from bluetooth. Original Review: Jokes aside when I use this amp I just feel good. The world is brighter, my mood shifts ever so gently into nirvana, and as I walk on water its evaporates into vapor clouds that lift me through transcendence of time and space. I am currently using the Q5s to power my Sennheisers and Moondrop Starfields

The "Premium" version is worth it for the build and audio quality obtained considering it is wireless. Build: Quality build. Sturdy while looking really clean and cool. The RGB is a plus considering I already use Corsair's iCue software for my PC fans and keyboard

The included amp module is more than enough for my IEMs, so I don't really plan on upgrading... although that THX module looks cool

I'm writing this review on day 3 of owning, and these are the perfect well-rounded pair of wireless headphones. These replaced the Void Pro headset of mine and while I thought the Void Pros were top tier a year ago, the XT makes the Void lineup look like Skullcandy. The headset is nice and light, has an above average microphone, dual connection between dongle/bluetooth at the same time, and even a 3.5mm port for an external DAC

The Q5s Type-C is equipped with a QCC5124 Bluetooth chip. It provides impeccable Bluetooth performance with V5.0 connectivity and hi-res codecs support including LDAC, AptX HD, AptX LL, AptX Adaptive, and more.

"Discord Certified" but causes issues with Discord keybinds unless Discord is set in administrative mode and/or compatibility mode. Then you have issues sharing media in chat, issues with Steam Overlay, and other issues compounding on top of that, (something you shouldn't have to deal with). With iCue closed and not running, some Corsair services remain active in the background which destroys battery life on multi GPU laptops, as the services prevent Windows from utilizing the "onboard" GPU. After disabling/removing the Corsair services my GPU auto switching was fixed

The latest FiiO Q5s Type-C features a large 3800mAh battery. It provides a battery life of up to 25 hours on Aux input and up to 9.5 hours on other input options. This is more than enough for portable and desktop use for long music sessions

I wanted something wireless to avoid extra wires without compromising quality of sound on the mic end and audio end. Below I breakdown pros and cons mostly from a wireless perspective. Price: After watching review after review of Yotubers comparing these to other headsets that are significantly more expensive, I had a feeling these would be worth it. And so far they are
