Our Verdict
Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE
Beats Solo Pro Wireless
The Beats Solo Pro and the Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE are for different purposes. The Corsair are wireless gaming headphones that are more comfortable, have a virtual soundstage feature, a significantly better mic performance, and you can use them wired. Their companion software also allows you to adjust their sound using their graphic EQ and presets. However, the Beats are better for casual use. They have a more neutral sound profile, an ANC system that can block out more ambient noise, and longer continuous battery life.
