Our Verdict
Beats Solo Pro Wireless
Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB Wireless XT
The Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB Wireless XT are better for gaming while the Beats Solo Pro are better for casual use. The Corsair are more comfortable, have a virtual soundstage feature, and their boom mic offers a significantly better overall performance. They also have companion software that offers a graphic EQ and presets to adjust their sound to your liking. However, the Beats have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer. They also have active noise cancelling and are able to block out a great amount of ambient noise around you.
