FOR OPTIMAL WIRELESS PERFORMANCE

  • Place the USB wireless transmitter in an open, unobstructed area.
  • Make sure the battery is fully charged before initial use.
  • Do not leave the battery fully discharged for long periods. Battery life is maximized by keeping the battery in a partially charged state.
  • Keep the headset at room temperature (20-30° C or 68-86° F).

NOTE: Prolonged listening at high volumes may adversely affect your hearing. Take breaks between sessions and always begin with the volume at a low level before increasing.

CORSAIR iCUE

Go to corsair.com/icue to download the CORSAIR iCUE software.

Using iCUE software will enable the full feature set of the VIRTUOSO MAX headset. The USB Wireless Receiver must be connected to your PC to use iCUE software.

Note: If the headset is used without software, some features will be disabled.

  • Install the iCUE software on a PC running Windows 10 or later, or on macOS.
  • After installation is complete, reboot your PC, and launch iCUE.

iCUE software can be used to:

  • Create and assign lighting effects.
  • Adjust and control microphone volume and Sidetone.
  • Remap the CUSTOM BUTTON (C) and switch the VOLUME CONTROL RING (D) and MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL RING (E) control.
  • Select and customize audio equalizer (EQ) settings.
  • Enable SoundID™ audio personalization. Requires USB Wireless Receiver to enable. (Not available with Bluetooth®)

The software’s built-in documentation explains how to use the VIRTUOSO MAX features in greater detail. Please note: headset must be in USB mode (powered off and connected to PC) to update firmware.

VOLUME CONTROL

The VOLUME CONTROL RING (D) and MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL RING (E) can be used to separately control volume and can be configured within iCUE. By default, the VOLUME CONTROL RING (D) will control RF volume and the MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL RING (E) will control Bluetooth Volume.

MICROPHONE CONTROL

Press the MIC MUTE BUTTON (I) to mute. Press the MIC MUTE BUTTON (I) again to unmute.

NOTE: iCUE software can also be used to control these features.

For best performance, bend the flexible microphone boom to best fit near the left corner of your mouth. We’ve found that a 30-degree bend is a good place to start, but feel free to increase or decrease this if your mic is too loud or too soft.

CHARGING

The CORSAIR VIRTUOSO MAX headset must be fully charged before its first use.

  • Connect the USB charging cable to any working USB port on your PC.
  • Connect the USB charging cable to the CORSAIR VIRTUOSO MAX headset.

The CORSAIR VIRTUOSO MAX headset battery has no “memory effect”, so there is no need to completely discharge it before recharging.

Remember that the USB charging cable requires a high power (USB 2.0 or better) port. Some USB ports found on older devices do not support USB 2.0.
