Corsair Virtuoso Suspension Headband

thingiverse

Corsair's Virtuoso headset is an amazing piece of kit, and the microphone is one of, if not the, best on the market for a headset. While I love most things about the Corsair Virtuoso headset, there are a couple minor things I wanted changed: earpads and headband. For the earpads, I picked some up from a third-party on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HXVD5RJ For the headband, it's much more involved, and requires some irreversible destruction to the cloth and padding. Because I don't want to be held liable for any damage done to your headset, I will omit the process of disassembly. Do this mod at your own risk! I printed this in polycarbonate, but any filament with strong layer adhesion will work, such as PETG or PCTG. Supports for the earcup mount will need to be printed, and you'll need to be patient with clearing out the supports. The mounting tabs are the weak points in this design, so if you have an extremely large head, this may not work for you. please understand the risks involved before proceeding with this modification. A stiffer material like PLA could be suitable, but I worry about the brittle nature of that. Thus far, everything has been printed in PC and is working well.
