Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB WIRELESS XT vs Final E4000

The Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT is pretty close to what I'm looking for except for the fact that the mic is omnidirectional. Budget - $300 CAD. Although willing to stretch to $400. Source/Amp - Plugged into onboard soundcard (mostly)

The question I'm wrestling with is whether these are worth roughly 3x the price of the E3000's, which are terrific in their own right with maybe a touch less bass but a brighter top end. To my aging ears, a boosted top end is a little more useful than a boosted bottom, so I'm not sure. These are good phones in their own right. The barrel size is a hair larger than the E3000, and the stiff wire connector means the fit is a bit different

Heck, you'll probably mix up the two right here, they look so similar. Again, you got that full swivel and everything, metal arm adjustable right ther...

I just cleaned this new pair and surprise the right earbud gets significantly low. Luckily I had the other good earbud from the first pair I bought so I had to switch it. I do like these earbuds but the fact the durability to liquids is so pathetic I can't see myself buying from this company again . Which is a shame

I've already tried the top 2, that being Steel Series Arctis Pro Wireless and the Corsair Virtuoso XT. Unfortunately, I had some problems with both of them though, so I ended up returning them. The Steel Series had a constant white noise sound in them that I couldn't get rid of no matter what I did.

With the Comply rounded foam tips I get a great seal and it blocks out the majority of the intrusive sounds that busy NYC throws my way. Highly recommend!

Even when using the default "Pure Direct" EQ settings or my tweaked EQ settings there is sometimes a crack/pop/distortion in both certain games/music which occurs that is very unpleasant. Yes I may have received a defective pair of cans but I cannot unhear the distorted audio. 2nd biggest issue from my perspective. Pads are a bit shallow for me personally and my ears touch the inside near the driver

The audiophile universe is governed by the laws of diminishing returns. You could spend thousands of dollars on all sorts of ‘end-game’ toys for your ears and still yearn for something better. Or worse, that headphone you bought for 3000 dollars two months ago is now on sale for half that price. An so it goes

Corsair mades ZERO replacements to their proprietary earpad design. If you buy the pads the same thickness as the stock ones that the headset came with, they are reviewed as not as comfortable as the stock pads..

I have an E4000 (which I love very much as an all-rounder), and don't mind at all a comfortable, decently-tuned pair that I can enjoy for long listens. Both the A3000 and the E4000 seem to have an 'average/inoffensive' C+ ratings, but for me that aspect can be a plus.

I bought them on sale, so with the earpads added it was something like $270 total. My head is small, so I bought it despite the reviews that warned me about this. I wanted a headset I could connect to both my home and work PC at the same time and these allowed for that due to the bluetooth. They're sturdy, good quality build, and the battery life is great

I started to be interested in final earphones due to this Final E4000's sound. So I purchased a ZE3000 Bluetooth earphone after E4000. And I just have ordered a E3000, too.

Even their much cheaper HS80s have that design. It is kind of crazy they didn't use it as it is just objectively more comfortable and these are so dang expensive. In the end, my biggest issue is Corsair putting these at a price point north of $250 and people having to buy aftermarket earpads for them to keep them on for more than 30 min without getting a headache. In the end, I don't think I'd recommend these to anyone given the price

These would be what I would look at and I can honestly tell you that the Chus, quarks, or CRAs do not provide a competitive option when offerings like those I mentioned are within your price range. Don't skimp by spending $20 when you can afford VASTLY superior IEMs within your stated budget. If you do, you will undoubtedly find yourself severely disappointed and will likely just end up quickly buying a better pair, thus spending more money anyways. Just food for thought
