Corsair Void Pro RGB Wireless Gaming Headset Review

Peter Donnell / 7 years ago

A Closer Look and Performance

The latest headset from Corsair comes with everything you’re likely to need. The headset, obviously, a hard-wired boom microphone, a long USB cable for wired mode and charging the headset, a wireless USB dongle, and a foam head for the microphone. The whole thing is plug-and-play friendly for ease of use. However, if you want to adjust the more advanced settings, EQ, lighting and more, you’ll need to download their desktop software.

All of the accessories are nicely designed too, with yellow highlights matching up with the Corsair gaming theme.

The Headset

The headset obviously looks a lot like most other Corsair Void headsets. Afterall, it is from the same range. The massive change here is the wireless technology. Of course, we can’t see the wireless hardware, as it’s hidden inside the headset. Furthermore, we can’t see the built-in batteries for it. However, the lack of an audio cable is apparent, and if you like a little more freedom while gaming, that can’t be beaten.

The Void Wireless doesn’t feel particularly heavy, despite housing some batteries for the wireless mode. I found the wired version to be very well balanced and comfortable to wear. Thankfully, the same is true of this model and in all honesty, I’d have trouble telling the difference in a blind study. Well, unless I could feel the cable of course.

Take Control

On the ear cup, you’ll find a few necessary controls for ease of use. There is a master microphone mute, and master power button on the back.

While the side of the ear cup houses a toggle wheel for the master volume control, as well as a micro-USB jack for charging the headset.

Durable and Stylish

The design of the headset looks great, with a pretty stealthy black finish, some glossy ear cup covers. My favourite part, however, is the metal headband sections that join the ear cups. It looks great, but it’s also incredibly durable.

Of course, you’ll find a slide-adjustment to the headband, and a fold up microphone, and generous padding too. Overall, the headset has excellent ergonomics, balance and plenty of comfort for those late-night gaming marathons.

Boom, Headshot!

So we’ve got a great looking, durable, and incredibly comfortable headset. This much we know already, it’s pretty much the same as other Void headsets. Another place is lives up to the reputation of its brothers in the sound quality. The powerful drivers haven’t lost anything by switching to battery power. Furthermore, the signal quality of the wireless hardware is faultless with super low latency. I loved my high-end wired headphones, but I’d be damned if I could tell they were running wirelessly.

Powerful Sound Processing

The sound quality is fantastic, and while it sounds great out of the box, the software opens up a lot of great options. By default, the headset runs in 2.0 mode. However, with the software, you can dive into the Dolby Headphone processing, which works great with Dolby Atmos for Headphones, and surround sound media and games you have. Fake surround sound used to be trash, but the quality of it these days is pretty fantastic, especially on the Void Pro.

You can tweak the EQ extensively, and the sound doesn’t distort, even at higher volumes. There’s plenty of thumping low end if you want it, lots of detail in the mid-range, and crystal clear highs. How you dial the EQ is up to you, but from thumping action movies, to treble boosted competitive gaming, you’ll be happy with what it has to offer.

RGB

Finally, if you’re an RGB nut, and as a Corsair fan, that’s pretty likely, you’ll find some here. It’s not much, but a little Corsair logo on each earcup is easily customised. I like this, as it’s not over the top and it shouldn’t be, given you can’t bloody see it when you’re wearing it. Pictures speak a thousand words tho, so enjoy a few shots of the colours below.
