Corsair - VOID RGB ELITE Wireless

I’ve had a set of [Corsair Void](https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Wireless-Premium-Headset-Surround/dp/B07X8SJ8HM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_vs_ar?adgrpid=58923541354&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.RMEgIhAkIOezP5V8JYiPFHlOan2ioabSJaYnLYTRx5EFd7QVYcGwBrUNZ965fkCGsMhuaJ_orWEnMdlgvD8ppCv_SuL4bjj7XQASvXIM6vgO-7SYKe52E4_84Tb5Wtw0QSFP37J4DIywAV7SE64SRNPWTk9KQPtdzVoPJPNEfILhRnRzpYtoqI0fMs4UR4drZ9zgt-tYSN9JWpTelz8aQA.8eHgzwBN4VVTjXYLJSLd1dxLqL7K2r5x6Le6VZ-XAAg&dib_tag=se&hvadid=651129857901&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9009606&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=4445041512373496988&hvtargid=kwd-299137450786&hydadcr=20103_13445635&keywords=corsair+wireless+headset&qid=1737580611&sr=8-1) I’ve been pretty happy with them since. I like how the microphone automatically mutes when folded up and unmutes when pulled down. It also has a nice subtle beep when it mutes or unmutes. I’m no audio junkie or “hardcore” gamer. I don’t know if they have simulated surround sound or not.

if I am on the bed / couch I use the speakers, when I am on desktop with the dock I use a Wireless corsair void elite headset, I got as present to xmas.

I have been using a Corsair Void RGB Elite for the last several years. The first one was starting to show its age a bit and my wife bought me a second. Now the first one is my work headset and is still going strong. Flip down mic is a must for me for that easy mute option.

First off, I'll admit that my title is a bit misleading but truthful, and so I'll immediately tell you what it is; the "**Corsair Void RGB Elite**". You might be thinking "*What? The $70 headset that came out in October 2019?*" Yes, that headset. If you value comfort, sound quality, mic quality, and quality feeling materials, this is the headset for you. It completely blows the competition away, all the way up into the $200-$300 price bracket. This headset is the 2nd best headset I've ever had, only coming after the now unavailable "**Corsair Void Pro"** released in August 2017. The pro had better quality earpad foam which made it unimaginably comfortable. When I got my *Void Elite* to replace my worn-into-the-ground *Void Pro* three years ago, I immediately noticed the downgrade in earpad quality, but having compared them to the current market, I now see they are still miles above everything else available, and for a fraction of the price. Just today I've purchased 3 more pairs of the Corsair Void RGB Elite so I know I will have a decent headset for the next 10 years at least, as the quality of all others continues to degrade. I want to make it clear I am **NOT** talking about the "Corsair Void Wireless V2". *The V2 is objectively one of the* *worst headset I have ever used*. The rest of this post will be a rant about how absolutely shite the rest of modern gaming headsets are and me bashing some bad ones I bought. Just this month I read people's reviews and suggestions on Reddit, Amazon, and YouTube and naively purchased the "**ASUS Rog Delta II**" ($208) then the "**Logitech G Pro X**" ($180) and then the "**Corsair Void Wireless V2**" ($140). All were in their own way, horrible quality and insanely overpriced. With the Logitech's technically being the best as long as you don't plan on using your mic. **ASUS Rog Delta II**: Complete garbage. My roommate and sister have ASUS Rog Laptops and I have a Rog motherboard and ASUS graphics card, so I had high hopes for these. SHITE. Seriously, I'm not an audiophile that complains about sound quality constantly. I use Airpods when I'm out-and-about and think they sound just fine, so believe me when I say the Rog Delta II sound quality is SO bad that it sounds like your listening to a speaker in a different room. Yes I downloaded all the drivers in the Armory Crate app. Yes I checked the connection and Hz in system sound settings. I did it all and I promise there was nothing wrong. They are just bad. I also got in a discord call and apparently the mic sounded like I was talking through a "red SOLO cup". RETURNED. **Logitech G Pro X**: Arguably the best of the bunch, pretty quality feeling, comfortable enough, good sound quality, but the mic... My biggest gripe is that if you have sidetone on and talk in anything more than a whisper, it gets overloaded and distorts the sound back into your ear super loud. Its extremely annoying. On top of that you don't get any sidetone if you're not currently using an application that is using the mic. I like having my sidetone always on, but with these if I'm not in a discord call, no sidetone. And finally, it's a detachable aux-cord mic which isn't a deal-breaker for me but is annoying and makes them sound worse in my opinion. RETURNED. **Corsair Void Wireless V2:** Oh my god, these are the worst of the whole bunch. I don't even know where to begin. They're supposed to be the next evolution of the Void Elite but are infinitely cheaper feeling and worse in every way, yet twice the price. I'll just make a list comparing them to the Void Elites. (*which, if you actually read this whole thing, will know are the already inferior version of the Void Pros*) \-Earpad foam quality: Worse \-Metal frame? Nope, Plastic \-Earpad Depth: Half as deep (*so your ears press against the hard inner plastic speaker*) \-Mic Quality: Poop. \-Sidetone: Sounds like your underwater, AND HAS A DELAY LOL \-Price: $140 (twice as much as Void RGB Elite) They don't even have the nice Corsair symbol lit up on the side. They are shit and it's sad to see Corsair go straight down the toilet. These headphones genuinely feel like they were bought at the Dollar Tree. I'm not just saying that because I'm upset. They genuinely feel like that. Buy a pair and try them out if you don't believe me haha. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. \*bow\* **tldr -** "Corsair Void Pro" are the best ever but are no longer available so their slightly inferior descendant the "Corsair Void RGB Elite" are the current best even though they're only $70 and 6 years old. You'll like them if you buy them.

If you don’t care about side tone and are fine, keeping it off without hearing your voice back in your ear, they are completely fine. and I promise you you won’t regret the $70 corsair I’m talking about.

I like my Corsair void RGB Elites. Nice pair of comfy wireless headsets that only cost $70 that offer good clear sound. The only complaint for me about them is the range doesn't seem to be very large and the included charging cable is very fragile and doesn't last very long range in my experience. If you're looking for a headset that isn't wireless, hyperx makes some decent headsets, but their good ones are kind of expensive. Right now, their HyperX III is on sale for $64.79 (usually $100) and their HyperX Alpha X is $70 (usually $130), and their HyperX Cloud Alpha is $77 (usually $100, only 22% off) on their official website. You can choose between wired and wireless ones. Obviously, the wireless ones will cost more. Arctis steelseries is yet another really good brand, but iirc, all of their headsets are wireless, and they're pretty expensive ($100+ is the average cost for a pair). If you want top of the line stuff, Logitech G Astro A50s. They're the best gaming headsets you can get without buying studio grade headsets like the Beyrdynamic DT 990s, but they're also $300-$380 for the A50s, and the Beyrdynamics don't have a mic.

I'm no expert but I enjoy my corsaid void wireless

I’d stay away from anything corsair. Half a year ago I got rid of everything icue related, worst software on the planet next to synapse.

Don’t get me wrong I don’t mean that they sound bad I had the OG void wireless and those sounded great, but man that software would sometimes sporadically just shut itself off killing everything in the process rendering mouse+keeb+headset unusable until either reboot or force starting icue manually. (Kept doing so even after fresh windows install on new m.2) so yeah it had good sound and the mmo mouse felt great as well but it is not very ideal for mmos when your shit dies mid raid 😂 I actually went for M50x and a pair of DT990 that I kinda use one for desktop and one for laptop after this and mouse swapped for G600 for mmo and main use R1 Pro and a F75+RK65 board that I swap between. Haven’t been happier, I actually just used g hub to get the settings right and have not touched it since and it works flawlessly.

Oh that I know, I have used both the void elite wired and wireless, enjoyed both.

I bought a set of wireless Corsair voids in like 2016, 2017 and they've been absolutely perfect. 50 bucks and nearly 10 years of service is fine by me. Replaced them with another set because they were destroyed along with my house in hurricane Debbie.

Have to agree with alot of other people above, don't get a gaming headset. Half the time I use my Sony xm3's when I dont need/want to talk to people, and when I do I use some cheap garbage corsair voids. They're not THAT terrible, but compared to the xm3s and I'm sure many of the other listed headphones, they absolutely suck. But for $75, they aren't bad and get the job done

Been using Corsair for a while now. Good build headset on the HS80 and VOID series.
