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.
Sony WI-C600N Wireless
On paper these headphones ticked all the right boxes. Noise canceling with voice pass thru option, around the neck, USB C charging, Google assist integration, Sony sound quality, decent price. They mostly lived up to the expectations. The fit is great, they are lightweight, the sound is great
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
Sony WI-C600N Wireless
On the plus side they are comfortable and lightweight. The band is rubber and very flexible when you move. At this pricepoint these should be much easier to use not to mention the battery doesn't last all day.
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

This is my husband second one. He loves it because it 100% does as promised but was disappointed his 1st fried during a rain.
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
Sony WI-C600N Wireless
Clearly the device can only accept audio from one device at a time - that makes sense. But, to use the device, I have to disconnect from all devices but the device in use. That is, I can't stop audio on one device and resume on another device. Going into and out of Bluetooth control to disconnect and reconnect devices was tiring after just a few hours of use 3) Sound level was too low to effectively deal with loud-ish background noise
Battery Life
Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB WIRELESS XT
"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 battery life is too short and can not make it through a full workday. I do like that I can use the app to adjust the sound and that it charges with usb c cord.
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
Sony WI-C600N Wireless
Even if these headphones are in the Bluetooth profiles of both devices, and have paired successfully with them both, the headphones won't "let go" of whatever device they were previously paired with unless you force them to pair with the new device. Bottom line, for the price, I cannot recommend these headphones - there are just too many disappointing (and irritating) issues with them considering the price (which at the time of this writing is well over $100).
