Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB WIRELESS XT vs JBL Reflect Flow

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.

In the end, I don't think I'd recommend these to anyone given the price
