At a Glance
Every axis is scored out of 10 from the catalog specs below. The scores are relative to the products on this page, so a 10 means “best of these”, not “perfect”, and two identical columns mean the catalog genuinely cannot separate them. Axes the catalog holds no figure for on both sides are left off entirely rather than guessed at.

| Isolation | 10/10 | 10/10 |

The Split

Leads on
Larger drivers move more air, which usually means more low-end weight.
Higher sensitivity means more volume from the same amount of power.

It gives up driver size and sensitivity to the Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless High-Fidelity Headset. That costs $120.00 more than the Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless High-Fidelity Headset.
Leads on
These 3 specs are the same on both of them, so none of it is part of the decision.
The Record
A group is won by whoever takes more of its rows outright. Specs the catalog cannot rank are shown but never decide a group.
Bottom Line
The Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless High-Fidelity Headset is the pick on the specs the catalog holds, but “better on paper” and “right for you” are different questions. Each case below names what the product is actually good at and who that suits.
The largest gap is driver size, where the Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless High-Fidelity Headset leads — 50mm against 45mm. Across the catalog's specification sheet the two differ on 2 specs. They match on 3 specs, including frequency response, fit and active noise cancelling. Two headphones from Corsair and Beyerdynamic, each taking a different approach to sound signature and comfort for long sessions.
Get the Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless High-Fidelity Headset, narrowly. The Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless High-Fidelity Headset wins Drivers — but only just, and the rest of the chart is close. It is also the cheaper of the two, by $120.
Both share 3 specifications in the catalog, including frequency response (20Hz-20kHz), fit (Over-ear) and active noise cancelling (No). None of those is a reason to pick one over the other.
The Beyerdynamic DT 900 PRO X Headphones costs $319.99 against $199.99, a difference of $120. On the catalog's specifications it does not lead the Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless High-Fidelity Headset anywhere, so the premium buys brand, build or something the catalog does not record. Whether that is worth it depends on which of those you would actually use.
