Corsair Virtuoso Pro
Here we go again, another ramble about a product that could have been good, but instead gets all the bells and whistles of enshittification. The title gives it all, let’s talk about my open-back headphone, the Corsair Virtuoso Pro.
I fucking hate this product, not because it’s outright bad, no, but because it’s so close, so close to being a good, maybe excellent product, it gets on my nerves. Corsair Virtuoso Pro. Pro! I mean, not RGB, not wireless RGB, not gaming Raptor X wireless RGB. No, pro! The design is sober and elegant, all reviews talk about good build quality and it feels, from a marketing point of view, that when a company takes this kind of move and disrupts their habits, they want to attack something. A new market, a niche, a product for enthusiasts and they try by doing (or trying to do) a good job and on paper they did good. Well… on paper.
