Corsair VOID Wireless Dolby 7.1 Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2015-09-30

With the VOID Wireless, we are getting quite a bit of improvements regarding product comfort, LED lighting system and software configuration. Corsair has added the RGB system for extra eye candy, but we have found more useful the two LEDs near the MIC which light up in order to signal different product statuses. The two 50mm drivers are able to deliver good gaming-grade quality sound and we found the microphone fidelity about the same as on the Vengeance 2100 and this is not a bad thing since that one impressed us positively too.

A Closer Look Part II

Coming from the Vengeance 2100 Dolby 7.1 headset we have reviewed back in 2014, the 2015 model has been completely redesigned regarding the cups shape, controls and is now much sturdier thanks to the metallic frame:

 

 

 

 

The right cup is not featuring extra controls but here we will get to see the RGB component composed of multi-colored LEDs which are covered by a non-removable black and shiny plastic component:

 

 

 

Moving to the left cup, we will get to see a similar RGB LED arrangement but we can also spot the MIC Mute and Power On/Off buttons; with this particular model we have seen a bit difficult to access the Power On/Off button when we are actually wearing the headset because it is a little too close to the metallic frame:

 

 

 

On the side of the cup we have the USB connector for charging purposes:

 

 

 

The volume controller has been also redesigned; besides setting the levels, we can also change now between EQ profiles by pressing it inwards:

 

 

 

The earcups now come with a “True Form” shape for fitting all shapes of ears; the microfiber-wrapped memory foam is very comfortable during prolonged use and does not pick up lint as easy as the previous revisions; each cup features a 50mm driver with a frequency response between 20Hz and 20kHz:

 

 

 

The metallic frame connects to the top section which upper layer is made of plastic:

 

 

 

 

The headband of the VOID Wireless feels more comfortable and softer than the one we have found with the Vengeance 2100; this is probably because of the more consistent padding:
