![]() ![]() ![]() In addition to a wonderful full cushion running along the top of the headband made of the same material as the earpads, the Voids feel sturdy with a reassuring but not too heavy sense of heft. The best way to put it may be that the Voids, like the Astros, sound warm, but not at the expense of detail.Īn increasing issue with Astro's headsets has been build quality (which I cover elsewhere directly), and in that regard, Corsair beats them handily. The Voids feature deep, cloth mesh pads over 50mm headphone drivers with excellent sound that can be slightly bass-heavy - much as Astro's headsets are - but feature very clear mids and clean highs that aren't abrasively bright. They feature sound quality that rivals Astro's, which were until recently my standard for audio quality in the gaming space (though see below for more on Polk's shocking Striker line). The Corsair Void Wireless RGB gaming headset, which is available for $119.99 as of this writing on Amazon, is the first pair of headphones in six years to dethrone the Astro A40s as my headset of choice. ![]() In quiet ones, other people can clearly hear sound coming from the set, even at low volumes-not good if you don’t want to annoy your roommates.This is sample of the Corsair Void Wireless RGB's mic audio. As a user, it’s hard to hear in noisy environments. Even though this is an over-ear headset, the Void Wireless doesn’t seal well at all. Second, it has a bad habit of picking up any and all plosives.Īnother notable issue: sound leakage, both incoming and outgoing. First, the range is pretty narrow and it sounds like you’re talking through a cell-phone mic. Which, if you read a lot of headset reviews, is not too surprising. The microphone is probably the biggest letdown. While the Void Wireless will never be a bass powerhouse, you can get it to sound pretty decent by pushing the low end up a bit and maybe bumping a few of the highs if you want guns and the like to sound extra crisp.Īgain, it’s not going to win an award for sound-but for under $100? Wireless? Yeah, it’s pretty damned good. Things get even better if you’re willing to download Corsair’s CUE software and fiddle with the equalizer for a while. It’s a nice nod to the RGB capabilities of other Corsair peripherals without being overly showy or distracting. A relief, particularly because the Void Wireless comes with RGB lighting, and it turns out that not much goes with “Stab Me In The Eyes Yellow.” The lighting is understated here though-just the sails logo and a small accent line on each cup. ![]() The band controls most of the fit.Īnd despite the fact Corsair sent us the bright-yellow version of the Void Wireless to review (complete with yellow-accented USB dongle), it seems like the default is now the black model. The ears are a bit on the small side, and you should expect to play around with the headband adjustments until you get the earcups situated perfectly, but once you do there should be little-to-no tension on your jaw. That being said, it’s comfortable enough for long gaming sessions. And while the forward-slanted band alleviates the problem a bit, it still has a tendency to slip around if you look down. Not just heavier than your average wired set, but heavier-feeling than its wireless competitors, too. I wasn’t a huge fan at first, but it helps offset the weight of the set. But the Void Wireless feels solid, with metal hinges and a padded metal headband that sits slightly forward on the head. Weird, for sure-the earcups are kite-shaped rather than round, which looks odd. ![]()
