Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB WIRELESS XT vs Samsung Galaxy Buds Live

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)

If you’re worried about bass, don’t be. So long as they’re in your ears right, the Buds Live can kick out plenty of oomph on the bottom end. These sound excellent and just what I’d hoped for considering the $170 price.

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'll start off by saying I'm a huge fan of Samsung products. I've been using their Galaxy phones since the S5, we have their fridge, and now this ear bud. But I gotta say, Samsung should stick with their phones and other products because these earbuds doesn't really stand up against other name brands and some of the even knock-off, low-budget earbuds. I can say a lot more bad than good stuff about them so I'll try to break it down

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.

The Buds Plus didn't have active noise cancellation, but the sealed design meant that they were passive and that worked really well, so with that I re...

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

I got my first set last month, the Soundcore life notes and there ahhh ok. Sound and fit could be better for $49.99.

UPDATE: I managed to install iCUE 4 on another computer, and I can confirm that with the LEDs off, the battery lasts much longer. Now, the issue is that it can't charge fast enough, even on a very good USB charger. Somewhere in the labyrinth of articles that corsair calls their help system, I read that for some reason, it should be charged from a standard USB port instead of a charger, but that didn't charge it fast enough either. Ten-ish hours of charging should be enough to fully charge it, but it's not

the good thing is the battery life is good, not the best, but good for most. around 6 - 8 hours without noise cancelling on. The connection however, is not good. a lot of the time it has syncing issues when connected to my windows computer, usually put them back in case would solve the problem, this problem is quite frequent that it would annoy you quite a bit

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 actually like it a lot and leave it on. Connection has been solid. I did notice when watching YouTube, the video will sort of stutter behind for a s...

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

They come in three color options, Mystic White, Black, and the bronze I have here that looks pretty sharp and I gotta say is a little bit flashy. They...

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

I'm new to wireless earbuds and just wanted something affordable and only cared about two primary features: using one bud at a time and comfortable in the ear for hours. I first tried the Sony WF-C500 because they were cheap. They fit in the ears well and could be used one at a time, but the sound quality was so bad that using them for music was pointless, and even podcasts were hard to hear clearly. I decided to get these Galaxy Buds Live to see if they were worth the extra cost and
