I got this headset with the intention of finally going full wireless with regards to my peripherals, and this headset is a great addition to my setup!The sound quality out of the box is alright however I recommend messing around with the EQ silders on The "iCUE" application required when using this headset so as to fully utilise the headset when listening to music. This brings me to my other point, pressing the volume knob allows you to go through all your EQ presets so you can have specific EQ settings for different situations; I love it since I personally have been using the FPS EQ preset provided by Corsair. Going back however, I mentioned there being a volume knob, it's self explanatory,just a knob on the left earphone which you can rotate up or down controlling the volume. In my experience I usually have it at around 35-50% as the headset can get super loud and may be even damaging to your ears.The gameplay experience is something we must talk about before continuing. For general gameplay and competitive games I cannot recommend this headset enough. Being able to have a custom EQ preset in order to hear footsteps and the like easier is so helpful that I almost feel like I'm cheating. The only type of game that this headset cannot be paired with is rhythm games. I feel too much latency when trying to do anything on the beat: I noticed this on the game "Osu!". I am not simply blaming this headset for my poor timing as I personally have no problem tapping on beat. However, after using this headset for the first time on "Osu!" I found myself having to change the song offset to around +5 or +15ms as the latency was too noticeable. It's a simple fix on "Osu!". However playing a game like "Beat Saber" where song offset isn't a feature of the game really begins to aggravate me as I find myself completely screwing up songs I was previously able to do.This isn't just a pair of headphones though, you also have a mic to use which even has a setting to where you can hear yourself in real time! The mic quality is what you'd expect from a headset, it's very clear but it does sound like you're talking through an early 2000s brick phone. The mic has two ways of muting and unmuting, the first one through a button on the left side and the second one through lifting the mic up. Using the second method (although satisfying to do) is also somewhat risky as I have experienced it dropping down before leading to the mic unmuting. If you have your setting enabled, you'll have a tone play whenever it mutes and unmutes so it's not hard to figure out if your mic is muted or not.Lets go into how the headset feels on the head. Frankly, it is too loose a fit. You cannot have these headphones on while playing VR as it will fall off your head. With this, I cannot recommend this headset if you are thinking on using it for VR. I hope they fix this issue if Corsair decide to make a revised version of this headset as it may be a deal breaker for some: having less wires to worry about when playing VR is so advantageous!With all this in mind, this is a great wireless headset with a lot of very useful features! The audio quality coming out of the drivers are great. The mic is not too different to any other headset mic and even has pretty good noise cancelling since other headsets have the problem of being able to pickup what's coming out of the headphones. Although not great for rhythm games, you can find ways around this. Lastly, the fit of the headset just isn't good enough for VR where wireless can really be handy! If you're looking into going wireless, this is a good headset but please do take everything into consideration! The last thing we want is to have to get another pair!

I have been using these for a while now and they're awesome. If you're not too bothered about wireless then skip that entirely and go for wired. It's really just a gimmick when you're sitting still and gaming. However, overall I'm very pleased with them. A few notes for people looking to buy:Battery life is lower than what they state but that's the same with pretty much all battery operated products. However, the battery life is way better than my previous wireless headphones. With the lights on and at full brightness, you're looking at less than 8 hours. Without the lights, you'll get 12 hours+. You can charge them overnight or every other day depending on how long you use them for.Sound quality is awesome.I haven't experienced headphones with full surround sound before and it was actually disorienting. While watching Netflix I found myself turning around or pausing to wonder where the hell that noise came from. This is also togglable which is just fantastic. The software that comes with the headphones provides sufficient functionality but can be buggy. I've found this to be true with a lot of software provided by companies such as corsair, logitec, etc. The headset is also sound canceling which again was better than I'm used to. As I don't live alone I can now game in bliss or watch movies without being disturbed.Mic quality is normal. It's better than the cheap headsets you can get but it's not professional mic quality by no means. However, it's more than adequate for the use cases of the product so it's not a bad thing. You'll be heard clearly and the software provides sidetone which due to the sound canceling nature of the headset is pretty much required to avoid shouting. The headset also mutes the mic when you put the mic up. That's just fantastic. My only gripe with this is that it would be nice to keep sidetone activated while the headset mutes the mic as the sound canceling causes these conversations to sound as if I'm slightly deaf.Packaging was really nice, and the shipping was super quick. In the box, i received the headset, the charging cable (Which was very long, thank you corsair), and the dongle dock thing which can also be used as a phone stand. Very useful used alongside logitecs arx app. The build quality of the headset is leagues above my previous headset which was similar in price and wireless. The turtle beach px3 (£99). This is sturdy and has metal arms holding the cups to your head. The buttons on the headset are nice and clicky too. The mic arm though flexible is stiff enough to feel hard to breakIt's comfortable. The memory foam head cushion is surprisingly springy and comfortably holds the headset on your head. It's fully adjustable too, I have it on the smallest because I like it tight. What I've found in the past with headsets is that while wearing glasses they can become very uncomfortable over long periods of time. I've never had the issue with this.The ear pads are big enough and comfortable too there's enough space for your ears to sit in their natural position as squishing them would cause a lot of discomforts over long gaming sessions.If you're looking for a high-quality headset from a trusted brand and you don't mind paying a little extra for the gamer gimmicks then look no further. Corsair did a fantastic job designing this product down the littlest of details. A solid headset that has made a huge difference to how I watch movies and play vidya.

before we go into the my review i need to point out I've owned numerous headsets from logi, HyprX, turtle beach over the years, so far i owned 3 Logitech (all broke), 1 Hyper-X (not ergonomic for me), 3 Turtle beach (wire gave up), but so far this is the best flipping headset I've seen, felt, and wore in a long time.firstly the built quality is absolutely amazing, from the moment i pulled it out the box, and put it on my head although the weight at first was quiet a bit off putting but I've wore this headset for about 6 hours in a row so far with limited breaks (mainly toilet and water breaks) and i have not taken the weight into account at all,i believe that it is extremely well distributed around the headset AND FOR ONCE i don't have to amputate my leg just to hide the pain i get from taking off the headset as others in the past were just so uncomfortable to wear so when you'd take it off it would leave behind an excruciating pain but this one HELL NO it is perfectly built.The sound quality honestly blew me away... the base, the voice clarity and also how versatile this headset is while using the iCUE settings. Versatility is a BIG yes on this one. I can play my games like, R6S, Hell Let Loose, Post Scriptum, BF 1, Stellaris, MOWAS2, SW BF 2, PUBG, cheeki bit of fortnite, League of legends etc... it is also amazing to listen to music in it.i will be updating this review within the next 3-4 weeks and so on and on for you people.<<<<Update 1>>>>Alright it may have been more than about 4 weeks however i promised updates on this for you guys.<< Durability and versatility>>So far the headset hasn't shown any sign of breaking yet however i do use extreme precaution when using it as all 3 of my past headsets for pc broke in similar ways having the support for the speakers completely disintegrated within the first 4 weeks (Logitech). This one however is still strong and still feels like it is brand new, no damage, no sound bug, no weird buzzing sound or echos in the background. The ear cushion is probably one of the best that I've ever seen and used, i never had my ears burning up with them specially recently with the heat wave we just had... heat was never an issue. it is also very adjustable and i have a big head and even still i don't need to extend the size by that much and it is still great.<<Performance>>This headset is basically what you need for games, music, movies, video and music editing etc... the bass is not really ear or brain shaking by itself nor with the ICUE software which honestly is not a problem and most people just wouldn't care to be honest as the sound is already godlike as it is, but for me i just like bassy songs so i just downloaded a bass amplifier and i was all sorted.<<weight>>honestly it feels heavy but it isn't heavy if that makes sense? I think it is mostly due to how well it grips on your head which make it feel like that but overall i can have this headset on for like 10 hours with minor breaks in between and it still doesn't bother me. weight distribution is also on point!<<issues>>The only issue i have with it is the wire, it tangles after a while and it is hard to get it back to normal as some curves and knots remains, however it isn't that annoying and doesn't really affect the performance or quality but never the less it is there.Overall still an amazing headset.

This headset is absolutely amazing, especially if you get it at a discount, I got mine for £79.99. If you are thinking about buying this then I hope I save you some money by saying, WAIT FOR A PRICE DROP! Don't pay anymore than £90 for this headset as discounts happen very regularly.Ok, now I'll tell you my use case for this product as it's very different than most other people buying this, I'm a video editor so I need to have neutral and accurate sound. This headset can do that! Even when I walk to the living room the headset quality is great and hasn't changed in gain or eq.Another great feature of this headset is the application it comes with that was weirdly hard to find,I'm guessing that's a search engine fault though, and not corsairs. It comes with eq adjust (witch you have to do if you want to get neutral sound) and its very easy to change.The headset is also very comfortable and adjustable enough for almost any person, but that's where the pros end and the cons start.The software, thought nice looking, is hard to navigate and change (apart from eq settings) lighting is a hassle to get right without knowing the exact rgb channels your looking for and the light on the mic is unchangeable, always staying red. When I first picked up the product it felt plasticy, and that's because it is. It is good quality plastic, but still plastic (That is apart from the moving parts , they're metal and very good to the hand).Battery life isn't impressive either, at about 8hrs (obviously you can get more if you turn the lighting effects off or dim them slightly)And now the most annoying thing, though useful, is the assistant, or voice. What this is, is whenever you turn your mic on or off, turn surround sound on or anything like that this voice says "mic on", "mic off" or "surround on" It's built into the headset and not the software, so obs, or recording software's won't pick it up, but still. I think it's unnecessary and annoying. A little beep would have been enough or at least being able to turn it off would be amazing!So, overall I would recommend this product to pretty much anyone who isn't travelling, as the wireless adaptor is really big and is annoying to carry, It's comfortable and the eq settings will make even some audiophiles happy. If this headset lost some small inconveniences and the software was better it would be perfect and i would happily pay £150 for the headset. And yes if your a parent reading this and thinking "this is way too much money, why does my son/daughter want this?" I would tell you to do your research and maybe find something cheaper. But if you want something that will last the test of time this headset is pretty cheap for what you get (if you get it under £90). So, just buy this headset if you price rage is from £80 - £120 and your not thinking about travelling with it...9/10EDIT: Left earpiece stopped working after less than a fortnight, they delivered a replacement really quickly but I won't rate it 5 because of it...

I really love this headset! My last headset was the turtle beach x12 and I literally had them for 10 years. They were starting to get abit decrepit and I really wanted to go wireless. So after looking at reviews I decided to buy the Corsair Void Pro headset. I will be honest I already have a Corsair strafe cherry mx silent keyboard so having the ability to sync up the rgb definitely influenced my decision (and it works really well!).On to the headset! The sound quality is good, particularly for gaming as you feel the surround in a wider area than say the ps4 gold headset. I noticed a big improvement there straight away. The volume is also decent,I can keep mine around 10-15 and that is perfectly fine for me (obviously you can go much louder). The bass is not powerful though so if you are after music earphones then you will get clear sound quality but not very heavy bass. One nice touch is there is a volume rocker on the headset, it works really well and if you have Spotify open it will have a small overlay when you use the volume rocker. Meaning if you want to change your song all you need to do is use the volume rocker and change the song from the overlay. Very useful IMO!The lighting is nice, if you have it on a stand or something it's bright enough to show off but not bright enough to feel like you are wearing a disco ball. Also it's corsair so the customisation is great! Anyone who wants to see can download the free software and it demonstrates what the software can do to the different peripherals. I personally have it synchronised to my keyboard shifting colours, I think it looks great! If you have the stand you can flatten the cups to be flush with the headband and front facing, I imagine that would make a nice display piece.The headset feels as though it is built well and is very comfortable to wear. I'm not someone who games for entire days but for longer periods I have used them for I have had no discomfort whatsoever. I also like the fact you can mute/unmute the mic just by lifting it up or down. Mega useful if you are eating or drinking and you don't want the world to hear your gross crunchy/chewy/slurpy noises! If you mute the mic manually or turn the voice feedback off (by holding mic mute button) it will tell you via a voice. It will do the same if you unmute or turn the feedback on and also if your battery is low, charging or full.All in all I am very happy with it and it feels like a premium quality headset for the price. I have tried to be as thorough as possible in my review! My ONLY negative at the moment is there is a glitch in corsair's software where sometimes you will turn the mic on and you can't hear any voice feedback. To fix this just mute and unmute the feedback (by holding the mute button). It's a little niggle but I am hoping corsair will fix it soon!I hope my review has helped, if I see any questions not answered in my review I will try to help!

I bought these simply because my Astro A50 headset stopped working and I wanted a 7.1 headset to use while I sorted the other.This is super honest review and having had, going from, what I think is the best gaming headset you can have (Astro A50), to this, below is how I feel it competes but also why it is worth the money.ComfortIt is comfortable, however, like the other reviews have suggested, this is not well fitted at all. The headset is far too wide in the smallest position, and i would suggest that you DO NOT buy this for anyone under 16, as the headset will be huge on them. I am 34 and I had to cut up a spare memory foam pillow and cable tie it to make this properly fitting. That's said,if it is Okish, but otherwise is was sitting on the top of my ears, which was a little uncomfortable. My small 'mod' made a world of difference and allowed me to enjoy the headset for why it was built in the first place.It is adjustable, but the smallest size simply isn't small enough, I'm surprised they didn't consider this given a lot of keen gamers are of younger age. Again, if my 15 year old self out this on, it would be far too big for comfort or proper use. In the photo I have put my astro Vs the corsair and you can clearly see there will be a difference in the 'hug' you get from it. The astro is honestly perfect, the corsair is poor.SoundThe 7.1 is very good, I used Nhamec instead to the corsair software and comparing to the Astro A50 (3x the price) it is close, but isn't quite rounded enough. Voice Comms is very good, bass is great but treble is a little high, but I think if I haven't had the astro, I would be seriously impressed by the sound. That also depends on if it fits well too.DesignIt love it, it reminds me of s Ferrari, the mic folds up to mute in a tidy manner and the size of the ears buds is more than accomodating. The USB leads supplied are clearly of a high standard and once I had added my additional layer of memory foam it is seriously comfortable.Battery life and wirelessI haven't tested it to the full extent, however, with the RGB off and using sound and mic, it has lasted a good 9 hour gaming session. So pretty good, I think you can get a good 12 hours without charging. The connection is very good and I haven't had issues so far. The wireless is amazing, I can walk downstairs and fox a drink without losing connection.Overall, for the price a great sounding headset, but the fit really let's this down. For some adults it will be great, but for anyone with a smaller head, I just think the padding really is an issue, which is a massive shame because the sound is excellent. Other aspects are great and when comparing a headset 3x the price, the sound it very good, fit is bad, but battery life and connectivity is good. Should you buy this, yes, but depending on how big your head it and if you have a spare pillow.

I have been using this for over 6 months now and it has proved to be a really good purchase.Sound quality : Really good, I use the headphones a lot to listen to music and I've never heard any distortion, the low and high frequencies are apparent, I can't moan reallyComfort : I need to wear glasses so large headphones can cause me discomfort in a short time, however I can wear these headphones for hours while wearing my glasses without fear for them being damaged, Perfect! If I had a niggle it would be that if I rock back in my chair the headphones can move, due to the weight I think, but i guess that is the price for having long life batteries in themMicrophone : Difficult to comment here as I haven't really used them in anger,

I have never purchased an Expensive pair of headphones before, i think the most i have spent is probably around 25/30 £, but i thought i would go for it and did some research and these came up. I have never purchased a corsair product before either, and i must say, i am incredibly impressed. I have never used a wireless headset either, but i'm not sure i'll be ever to go back to being wired every again. I will list each of the features below and my experience. I game on a PC, so i have no experience with using these on console.Packaging: Really nice looking box, well packaged. Everything was nicely wrapped up. However there was a slight scuff on the top of the headset, but i just wiped it down.

This was my first dive into the world of Corsair headsets and I have to admit, they've done one hell of a job with the Void Elite. So I'll start off by saying I haven't experienced any headset size related issues as others seem to. However I did notice the bottom of the ear-cups don't clamp to the head with the same force as the rest of the cups, which may be why some people may be experiencing a gap at the bottom.The Corsair Void series really sets it self apart from any other headset due to the unique design, which I have found to be very comfortable over long periods. The lack of faux leather ear-cups is a welcome relief as they have a tendency to ware out and slowly disintegrate.

10.12.2017

I have owned this headset for about 2 weeks now...Pros:-Great surround sound, in CSGO it almost equates to wall hacks, you hear your enemies positions in games-Nice RGB touch on each ear cup, looks great in photos and especially darkness-Corsair link program that is required for this is very customisable for both lighting effects and EQ settings-For EQ it has several preset profiles and if your'e experienced you can also create countless profiles of your own.-MIC LED indicator is also pretty helpful because sometimes if your in a conversation on discord and you need to blow your nose or something you click the button on your left ear cup to disable mic and sometimes you forget to enable it again,

27.11.2019

I needed a comfortable headset with a good microphone for playing games, doing calls and general usage like watching videos and music. The headset is good for all those things.I have mine connected to my MacBook Pro 2018 which works great. While it does work out of the box without any additional installation, you'll need to install Corsair iCUE to tweak the sound and light settings. Which you must do to access some of it's most important features.I would 100% recommend that you download iCUE because the default sound settings are not great at all (iCUE is available for the Windows and MacOS). The headphones lack strong bass by default and give a bad first impression of the headset,

I bought a SteelSeries headset for Zoom and Teams on the advice of my Gamer son. I liked it and the wireless system works well - even though it uses USB-C and I had to buy an adapter.What’s that got to do with the Corsair? Well, when lockdown 3 started and schools went online, my 12 year old daughter needed a headset, so I gave her that SS set.This meant that I was back on a search for another set - and I thought ‘do I buy another SS set or buy what my son uses - a Corsair Gaming set?’ I researched, read up and looked around and came to the same conclusion that my son had - that these are very good value for money.For music I only use Bose as they suit my music choices, fit very well and sound superb.

8.5.2021

My Sennheiser GAME ONE earphones broke after 4 years of use, the last few months their sound not working in one ear unless volume wheel on headphones was all the way up. I liked how ventilated they were, the 3D sound, the fabric earcups. But I didn't want to spend £150 on another set.I tried some £20 cheap 4.5 star reviewed Chinese ones from Amazon, the rating is what ultimately guided me but they turned out to be the cheap thing I should have expected. They got sweaty with their faux leathery ear cups, there was barely any noise cancellation, 3D sound was almost non-existent. Totally not worth it and I would never be able to get used to them coming from a high-end pair.

1.9.2018

I was a bit cautious about buying a wireless headset because I've had some pretty bad experiences with wireless devices in the past. But I'm really happy with the Corsair Void Pro.Being able to move freely around the room whilst still being able to talk to friends or listen to music is actually the best thing about having a wireless headset. It's awesome!The fit is surprisingly loose no matter how you adjust the headband. When you shake your head, the headset does wiggle around. It's not the end of the world or anything but if you're looking for a firm fit then this probably isn't for you unless you have a massive head.The battery life is pretty good.

30.4.2018

Having used a wireless headset since forever I have been contemplating a wireless for some time. My last experience of a wireless headset back in the 90s wasn't positive with frequent noise issues, poor battery life and abysmal range.After watching numerous youtube videos and online reviews and feedback from gaming communities I finally decided upon the Corsair void pro.The headset is a nice snug fit, I use it on the smallest setting and it is only every so slightly loose but I only notice that when I am using it with the VR, if I am sat down playing it is fine. The microphone is clear, people on discord instantly noticed a difference and moving away from a 3.5mm mic I removed nearly all interference.Battery life is easily around 20 hours,
