Corsair - VOID PRO RGB Wireless

I'm partial to Corsair Void Pros. They have pretty deep ear cuffs for my big ass ears.

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

I bought the Corsair Void wireless v2 on sale for 99€ its support Dolby athmos, u need good EQ settings, out of the box they sound crap but after few settings they are stunning, and I did a preset on Piece specially for louder Footsteps etc and can I be honest for Shooters, game in general and Movies, I’ll never experienced something better for this price class, and its supports duo channel u can switch betweeen 2 devices I have the dongle on pc and Bluetooth on a MacBook, I bought them specifically for ARC only and my main goal was stunning sound experience for ARC and they delivered it so far on other games and movies for me so I’m happy.

I am having a bit of a consumer crisis. Back at the start of 2020, I purchased Corsair's Void Pro Wireless. They did fine as my first real headset, but were even better after a friend showed me how to actually enable surround sound. I hadn't known the difference and was using stereo for months. I could finally hear where the footsteps were coming from in my games. 5 years later and they have finally worn out. I likely overcharged the battery too much and now they only last an hour or two before needing to be plugged in. So months back I was purchasing some new peripherals, and that included the Corsair HS80 Max Wireless, which also happened to be discounted because of it being from their "Revival" refurbishment series. It came in, I set it up with Dolby Access and everything. The sound was like listening through tin cans no matter what I did. So I refunded it and ultimately procrastinated on finding a new pair and just played with my Void Pros plugged in. I finally started searching around and researching new headphones. I expanded my budget and went as far as making a spreadsheet for prices and specs to find the best model for the price. The issue I ran into however is that I was finding issues on all of them. Like the HyperX Max's having ridiculous latency once messing with the EQ settings. Then Steelseries models having bad build quality. Sennheiser not having a good wireless option. I gave up and went back to Corsair. I figured maybe the problem was that I got a pair of refurbished headphones. So I saw that the typically $330 pair of Virtuoso Max's was on sale for $200. I was told it would be a steal at that price. I got them, messed with Dolby Access again and the EQ and while they are certainly better than the HS80 Max, the audio is no where close to what the Void Pro is. The Void Pro isn't being manufactured anymore, so I can't just buy a new pair. I'm unsure if the quality is just not where it used to be with this brand, or if Dolby Access is the problem, or some other setting I am missing. I quickly swapped back and forth listening to the same audio from my computer to see if it was just placebo but nope! With the Void Pro headset it sounds way more immersive, like I am actually there. Whereas with the Virtuoso headset it is very obviously speaker audio. Using Dolby Access definitely lets me improve the audio but it just isn't where I want it to be. There is no surround sound option in iCue with this headset like my Void Pro has. I have to use Dolby Access and I have a feeling that may not even be the problem. I have tried multiple different EQ configurations but nothing fixes the problem of how flat it feels in comparison. I have read that maybe they just need to play audio long enough to sort of be "broken in"? Should I just wait? It's hard to describe just how big of a difference there is between the two headsets but for what is usually $330 dollars at full price should not sound worse than a headset I paid roughly $100 for back in 2020. Any help would be appreciated. I am not the most knowledgeable with this stuff. Using the wireless dongle. Plugged in sounds the same.

Alot of clarity and soundstage tbh due to the fact alot of gaming headsets are closed back, for reference went from the Corsair voids to HD599 and an at2020 vocal clarity is much better. Beyerdynamics and senheiser make purpose built "audiophile headsets" they are in the 300 price range but for a decent set of cans a mic and interface will run you around the same. You also could look into USB options and 3.5mm jack

I just read the post I recommend the voids the only reason I upgraded was because my dog got a hold of them 😭

Not really... most people prefer open backs, generally closed backs aren't preferred for listening, I'd say the only reason I have a pair of closed backs is because of vocal tracking, but to each his own

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.

I've used Corsair Void Pro for years. I love them.
