Corsair CERNY-150 Replacement Audio Cable — Black RGB

About this pair

The Corsair CERNY-150 Replacement Audio Cable — Black RGB is a spare audio lead, not a set of ear pads and not a new headset. The CERNY-150 label marks the black, 150 cm version of the cable listed for the Corsair Virtuoso RGB, the aluminium-framed gaming headset that many players run wireless most of the time and wired when the battery runs low or latency matters. When that lead frays at the strain relief, crackles in one channel or simply goes missing after a LAN weekend, this black replacement cord gets the wired fallback working again without buying a whole headset.

Why the 150 cm length matters

Length is the whole point of this listing. The catalogue carries two Virtuoso RGB audio cables: a 110 cm version and this 150 cm one. That 40 cm difference is about routing, not about a different headset model. A 150 cm headset lead gives you floor-to-PC reach when the tower sits under the desk, lets you lean back from the monitor without tugging the jack, and leaves slack for a clean cable path along the desk edge. If the shorter lead always felt tight, this extra-length desk cable is the one to pick; if you only plug into a controller or a laptop on the same desk, the 110 cm version may be enough.

What this cable is — and what it is not

This is an audio cable for the Virtuoso RGB. It is not a USB power lead, so do not treat it as a charger, and it is not an RGB lighting accessory. The Virtuoso RGB name refers to the headset, and the RGB in the title is simply part of that model name. Microphone passthrough is not separately specified for this spare, so if you rely on the boom mic through the analog connection, compare the connectors you receive against your worn cable before a match or a call. Confirm jack type first: the listing names the same Virtuoso RGB headset as the 110 cm version, and length is the stated difference, not a different connector.

How to swap the old lead

Replacing the cable is a typical detachable cable swap and takes under a minute. Grip the connector housing — never the wire — and pull it straight out of the headset and out of the source. Avoid yanking at the strain relief, because that is exactly where most OEM cables fail. Seat the new black lead fully into the headset port, route it where it will not be rolled over by a chair castor, and plug the other end into your PC, console controller or DAC. A quick sound check in both channels confirms the fit.

Who it suits

Players who keep a Virtuoso RGB on a desk stand and want a dependable wired option for long gaming sessions get the most from this spare. It is also a sensible backup to keep in a drawer: when the original lead starts cutting out mid-round, a frayed OEM cable swap is faster than troubleshooting drivers. Because it is an aftermarket Virtuoso lead sold as a straightforward spare part, you keep the headset, the ear cushions and your iCUE settings exactly as they are and only replace the cord that wore out.

Before you order

Three quick checks save a return. First, look at the headset model: this cable is listed for the Corsair Virtuoso RGB, so it is not meant for other Corsair lines. Second, decide on length: 150 cm for a tower on the floor or a relaxed seating position, 110 cm if everything sits on one desk. Third, look at the plugs on your worn lead and compare them with the new one when it arrives. With those three points confirmed, the swap is plug-and-play.
