"I have read it could be due to 2.4GHz wireless networks but not much I can do about that. ... I have tried everything short of turning off my 2.4GHz network, can't do that as I have a lot of IoT devices plus there are my neighbors 2.4GHz bands to worry about. ... Nothing else I have from Corsair wireless (mouse) does that so it must be the channel the headset runs on. ... If only we could change that on the headset."
"For me, whenever there is a lull in sound in a game (goes quiet), the headphones",switch off" until their is sound again, but there is a delay in that sound so you miss the first second or so. ... Sounds minor, but it's quite frustrating when a cut scene starts and you miss the first word .. but happens all the time, and Corsair has no idea why."
