What's the point? Now I get it...
(12/18/2020 - update at the bottom) (12/31/2020 - final update) As other reviewers have mentioned, this is not actually a full-featured wireless headset. I expect most people will be using these to connect (wirelessly) to their PC, XBox, PS, etc and expect to use the mic directly - but they will be sadly disappointed. I connected to my PC via Bluetooth and while the headphones and mic show up as available devices, you will not have use of the mic. Only way to use it is wired, which defeats the purpose for most people, I would think. Reading the description "wired with Bluetooth" led me to believe that you could connect one way or the other. Shame on me. What an odd niche to try and fill. UPDATE - So I have been back and forth with Corsair since purchasing this headset (great support, btw - 10 out of 10 for this) - they never led on that the mic would not work across Bluetooth, but everything we tried had no effect. Today I installed a new Logitech mouse on my system - previously had a Corsair unit with their software installed. After uninstalling the Corsair mouse software, the mic started working across Bluetooth. At this point, I don't even care why or how, I'm just happy it now all works. So if you purchased this unit and have the same issue with the mic not working, toast all Corsair software installed and try again. I have updated my rating to reflect this. UPDATE #2 - Turns out the mouse software was a red herring. The headset stopped working again shortly after. After much trial and error, it turns out the Intel Bluetooth adapter for my PC was the problem. Dug up an old BTv2 adapter and the headset connected flawlessly each time - until I actually tried using it. The audio was horrible, output was very tinny and shallow. Input was just as bad, and dropping out often. Thinking this might be an issue with the BT dongle, I purchased a new BTv4 dongle. No change in performance, audio is still terrible. Looks like these guys will be going back, unfortunately. Once again updating my rating.
