Corsair VOID Stereo Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2015-11-14

While the VOID Stereo is compatible with a wide selection of devices which can output analog audio signal, the quality of the sound is also often influenced by the source. We have connected the headset to our trusty Sound Blaster ZxR sound card and watched some movies, several YouTube clips but also some of the latest TV Shows like Gotham, Grimm, The Walking Dead and so on. The main conclusion is that with the right sound card settings and enhancements, the Stereo is going to sound pretty good but this is also thanks to the 50mm-large Neodymium drivers it incorporates that are also used on the more expensive models. Talking about the microphone, if the sound card from our setup does not add additional noise to the signal as in our test system, it will sound crystal clear and basically produce the same results as with the VOID Wireless. During our Skype test calls for several hours, the person on the other end of the line confirmed that we were being heard just fine.

A Closer Look Contd.

The left cup brings to the equation more elements like the MIC mute button, the adjustable microphone, Volume rocker and the stereo cable:

 

 

 

The noise-canceling microphone has about the same shape as the one found on the Wireless model, but there are no more LEDs to signal status on this one:

 

 

 

 

The volume rocker has a different (simpler) construction when compared to the Wireless model:

 

 

 

Plenty of padding can be found on the headband too:

 

 

 

On the top we will get to see a larger Corsair logo:

 

 

 

Indicators for easy adjustment are present on each side of the headband:

 

 

 

On both sides of the stereo cable we will get to see a bit of yellow which complements the Gaming theme; the provided jack plug offers signals for both microphone and headset:

 

 

 

Using a PC, MAC or consoles? No problem, Corsair has our back by providing a Y split cable for separating the microphone and stereo channels:

 

 

 

We just need to attach it to our headset cable and off we go!
