Corsair Vengeance 2000 Wireless Headset Review
Tim Mammatt / 12 years ago
Corsair are known for their high quality products with the Vengeance 2000s being a prime example. Headsets need to be comfortable, produce top quality audio and of course have a microphone that is clear and simple to use. Being wireless, they also need to have an ample supply of power to last through the majority of the day and the Vengeance 2000s ticked all these boxes.
The ear cups were some of the most comfortable we have used, despite the headset’s large and heavy nature. The sound was pristine to our ears, with no noticeable issues during the real world tests. The positional audio aspect of the headset allowed them to have a very respectable level of bass – with no compromise to the sound of the drivers, yet still have adequate surround sound. Whilst virtual is no replacement for a true home theatre set up, it is a very decent contender against those true surround sound headsets, even out-performing some of them. The battery life is exceptional for a wireless headset, although this does account for a heavier weight, it is still long enough to get a lot of output from the speakers and only have to charge them once a day.
That said, the Vengeance 2000s isn’t without it’s negative characteristics. As mentioned above it is a fairly large headset and subsequently does weigh a fair bit. This does result in powerful bass and a decent battery life, although the wireless range isn’t great if you have walls in the way – normally you’d expect some reception if you are next door. The slightly unbalanced drivers could be an issue for the hardcore audiophiles out there, but in the real world, we couldn’t detect any noticeable issues with them.
Overall we were thoroughly impressed with Corsair Vengeance 2000s. They are packed full of goodness, ranging from superb bass, clear low, mid and high tones, high quality design and of course, a decent battery life that will keep you gaming into the early hours of the morning. With an RRP of around $149 (£100), these can be found as cheap as $120 (£80), which is a great price for such a high quality product. Other than the size issue, we really couldn’t find anything majorly wrong with the headset – we kept on trying to find something wrong with it, but really couldn’t! So, if you are in the market looking for a reasonably priced wireless headset, look no further, the Corsair Vengeance 2000 has exceeded all expectations and is by far one of the best headsets we’ve had in to date, so for these very reasons, we are awarding the headset with the amazing:
