Fit
Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB WIRELESS XT
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.
Philips Fidelio X2HR
We cannot forget that you can also buy the pair at under 200 bucks of Philips Fidelio x2 for yourself.Philips Fidelio x2/27 – Superb PerformancePhilips Fidelio x2 is built with premium materials, and it is big. They are having 50mm neodymium drivers, which are not that too heavy.The airy hammock, which is present underneath the headband, ensures a comfortable fit
Sound Quality
Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB WIRELESS XT
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

Comfort
Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB WIRELESS XT
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

Durability
Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB WIRELESS XT
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
Philips Fidelio X2HR
Pros: - These cans are possibly the most comfortable you'll ever wear. You can wear them for hours effortlessly. - Excellent build quality -- you can really feel the durability when you pick them up. These are built to last
Bluetooth Connectivity
Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB WIRELESS XT
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
Philips Fidelio X2HR
I was about to send them back because I already have Sennheiser HD 560 S headphones, which are wired and with which I am very happy. The only reason I bought these was because they were the only open back Bluetooth (sort of) headphones I could find below a whole lot of dollars. Since I can get a dongle to make them wireless, AND because, as much as it PAINS me to say, I actually like these better, I decided to keep them. They are almost as comfortable as the Sennheisers and a little louder so no amp is necessary for me
Price Point
Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB WIRELESS XT
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
Philips Fidelio X2HR
* **Budget** \- Around $300 but fairly flexible? Also, I'm somewhat of a noob to headphones, so it's like giving comfy Skechers to someone who's worn nothing but ant-infested tortillas since birth; I'll probably be relatively easy to please... not to say I don't want to get creamed by the sheer ferocity of a musical God with six-pack abs warring against my ear canal, but rather, I don't have luxurious 2000$ headphones to which I can compare these
