CORSAIR - VOID PRO RGB Wireless Dolby 7.1-Channel Surround Sound Gaming Headset for PC - White

So I want to start off by saying that I think this is a great headset... for the PC. If you're intending to get these for the PC, for the price and the sound/mic quality you cannot go wrong and these would warrant a 5 star review. However, if you are looking to buy these for the PS4, THEN STAY AWAY!! This headset work with the PS4, but it's missing a lot of the features that most people look for in a PS4 gaming headset. Let's start with the PROS for PS4: 1. Easy to set up - you just plug in the usb adapter, turn the headset on and you're ready to go. 2. Quality wise, these is a good headset (exception noted in the CONS). The outside of the ear pieces have metal on them. The cushion for your head and ears are both very comfortable and I wore them for 8 hours with some intermittent breaks and I actually kind of forgot I was wearing them. 3. I tried them out on my laptop and the sound quality on a PC is great, especially for the price tag. I didn't test out the Dolby 7.1 surround sound, but I would give the regular audio quality on my laptop an 8/10. Now onto the CONS: 1. Is not very compatible with PS4 sound card - while the headset works and will give you sound and you'll be able to speak, due to the lack of compatibility with the PS4's sound card the innate volume of the sound coming out of the headphones is very low. 2. Lack of control functionality for the PS4 - unfortunately, if you were planning on using these on the PS4 the volume control on the headset doesn't work to increase or decrease the volume. To me this was a bit of a pain because of how quiet the sound already is due to what I stated above and I didn't feel immersed in my game the way I would have liked to be. Also, none of the presets work on the PS4; these only work on the PC as well. 3. In addition to the volume control not working on the PS4, the overall feel of the volume knob feels cheap. There would be times while using it on my laptop that I would try to adjust the volume and it would feel like it would click, but the volume would never adjust so I'd have to try usually 2 to 3 times (especially when turning the volume down) to get it to work properly. So in summary, I am not hating on these headset by any means. I think this would make a great, budget friendly PC headset. My main intention on writing this review was for anyone considering using it on the PS4 (as I found very little to go on review wise about it). While you can still use the headset, just be aware that the volume will be low, especially when compared to PS4 compatible headsets, and you will not be able to adjust it.

I've been through a LOT of headphones/headsets in my search for the best, so when I say that these are one of the MOST COMFORTABLE headsets I've ever worn, I mean it. (ESPECIALLY SINCE I WEAR GLASSES) I can wear these for literal days (I have) and not feel any fatigue/pain from wearing them. Razer or Logitech headsets leave me uncomfortable in hours. + The audio is quite good, even if there is a bit of a focus on the lower ends (as is the norm with "gaming" headphones/sets). If you don't like the default sound, it does include an equalizer in Corsair's iCue software (which is your hub for Corsair product control like Razer's Synapse, or Logitech's Gaming Software). + The range on this set is also pretty good compared to other wireless sets. My Logitech G933s cut in and out frequently just bending over/laying on my side with them on. I can move nearly everywhere in my 900sq ft apartment, only breaking signal near the outer edges of my place. (IF YOU CAN GET IT ON SALE, PICK UP THE SPECIAL EDITION WITH BASE EXTENDER!!!) + Volume control is a rocker instead of a scroller. It increases/decreases 2% (by Windows' volume scale) with each push. HIGHLY preferred over scrollers that can sometimes miss a small scroll when you want to go up or down just a bit. + BIG easy-to-find/feel Mute Mic button in addition to position activated mic. Simple, effective, reliable. - My biggest gripe with the headset is that a big part of its comfort comes from the weaker clamping force, which in turn means that they will slide off easily. Bend over for a while and you'll find them slowly sliding off your head. - Mic isn't the best quality. Same issue that plagues just about *every* gaming headset. (Not a big deal to me, I use a real mic.) - Another issue I have with it is that the mic is not removable, nor does it hide well. The activation distance for it is fairly close to its upward position as well, so all it takes is a small bump downward to turn it on. - RGB color on sides aren't very - Smallest gripe with the headset is the lack of a 3.5mm input on the base or headset. Would be nice to have, but honestly, not a huge deal. TL;DR HIGHLY recommend this headset. It goes on sale often, so keep an eye out! You get so much bang for your buck if you can pick it up cheap. Usual price isn't too bad either, but in my opinion, it's worth holding out until a sale.

The selling point for these is absolutely comfort. This is an absolutely perfect product for a store like Best Buy where you can go in and try on a bunch of different headsets, as this pair will stand out to you positively when you do that. And comfort is very important, so nailing this is huge. But once you get past that... it's rough. * Audio quality feels only okay, not great, and does seem to suffer from being wireless * The software doesn't help much at all and this often means finagling blindly with Windows 10's more arcane Sound Properties menus, trying to set the highest quality the headset will accept * You only get about 4-6 hours of battery life without charging * Charging and using the headphones at the same time requires two USB-A ports * The headset cannot work directly over USB, it's all wireless audio all the time * There is no Bluetooth, 3.5mm, etc... support to enable the headset to work with other devices That last couple of bullets are what really tank this headset for me. I could deal with less-than-stellar audio quality if the headset were more flexible with its connectivity because the headset is so comfortable to wear that I would love to use it as a generalist headset on-the-go which just so happens to be able to work for PC gaming as well. In that case, I would be strongly tempted to get a better headset as my primary for PC gaming, and to use this for most other activities (and PC gaming on the occasion where it's just more convenient because it's already out or whatever). I could not even get this to do audio + charging while using a Surface Pro 2017 because doing so gobbled all USB connectivity so even trying to use a USB 3.1 4:1 breakout cable, connecting the wireless dongle and power nixed anything else working, and I like using a USB mouse with the Surface Pro when possible, so that's a bit of a dealbreaker. But Corsair's connectivity choices have shoehorned this headset into being a PC gaming headset and not much else, and unfortunately that is the scenario in which I'm more willing to trade comfort for performance.

My previous headset were corsair also. A much older version, outdated. The USB dongle/wireless plugin was problematic, often dropping signal and cutting out. This new headset however performs near 100% perfectly. It is very comfortable and I've worn it for hours at a time with/without voice chat on Discord for gaming sessions. Sound quality, mic quality seems right on track. The software/drivers seem to function quite well. The software you can install will allow you to customize RGB settings, surround sound settings, equalizer, bass etc. Quality, comfort are 5 stars for construction, length of time wearing, they don't feel flimsy or like they'll break easily. Many reviewers complained of overheating on their ears with the RGB lights on. I noticed no difference with or without them, no extreme heat or discomfort. Sound quality. Overall excellent. I never use the 7.1 settings, i tried them out with movies, games, music etc and it just sounds weird and not like surround sound, but in my experience all headphones sound weird with surround sound. Using them without surround sound they are quality, the volume levels are surprisingly low. At max volume they are not as loud as most other headphones i've used.. not that we really need them at max, but just a comparison/thought. I have not used many gaming headsets and cannot compare to razors, or other brands. I recommend picking these up on sale if possible. Give them a few days to adjust to the sound differences. I went from 5.1 to 7.1 and everything sounded different, took tweaking of equalizer etc to get it where I like. Get on sale, not quite 5 star product. Volume could be louder but not a deal breaker. The bass is great imo. One of the best things i've found with these are listening to binaural audio tracks. Smarter Every Day space x binaural video on youtube is a great example. These headphones are beautiful for this if make it sound like you are truly there watching a live space launch.

I've been using these for about 3 months now. I either own or have owned the Logitech G933, Razer Man o war, and the Steelseries Arctis 7 wireless headsets. The comfort of these are the best out of all of them, I can wear them for hours without pain or ear sweat. Build quality is outstanding (right up there with the Arctis 7). Sound quality is decent but I think all the other ones are a bit better. Surround sound quality is meh (It's better than the Arctis 7 but worse than the Razer and G933). Wireless range is fine for me but it's the lowest out of the bunch. The microphone is pretty decent but is a little quiet (better than the arctis and G933 but not as good as the Razer.) So... the annoyances. My main annoyance is the battery life. It's the shortest out of the bunch. And if you get these you'll either want a backup headset for when it dies (you can't charge it and use it at the same time) or constantly make sure it's fully charged. I'm plugging these in every other day where all the other ones I'd charge them about once a week. Another annoyance is that the mic side-tones will stop working when you mute/un-mute. To get it to work again you can try to mute / un-mute (sometimes that works) but often I'll adjust the sidetone volume in the software to make it work again. I'm pretty sure this is a software issue and hopefully corsair fixes it, but I'm not holding my breath. The other issue is if you record your gameplay whenever you mute/unmute your mic you'll hear that in your videos - I don't care about it but just letting you know. And the final issue you might care about is that the headset fits rather loose. I have a medium-large head and it feels a touch loose. The good news is that it doesn't clamp down very hard so it's nice and comfortable. A down side with the cloth earcups and lack of clamping force is that sound leaks out of these pretty easy, so that's something to consider if you don't want others to hear whatever you're listening to. So overall it has annoyances as do all headphones I've owned but the comfort and build quality makes this wireless headset my favorite thus far.

I use the void pro for gaming at home. Good points are it is wireless. decent sound, the excessive room in the earcups allow you to wear it for a long time. OK packaging. Quite a number of gripes with this headset: 1. The fit is very loose. Headset may fall off when turning your head or looking down. This is a dealbreaker for most people, but this is one of the few options at this pricepoint. I think it is worth it to spend 2x more than this to avoid lifelong disappointment. 2. Made from cheap plastic/ thin metal. Doesn't feel premium. It also isn't priced to be. 3. Earcups are large and the whole thing looks clunky. 4. Headset does not automatically turn off after lack of activity. 5. Headset takes a good 3 secs to connect to the receiver 6. The toggle button sucks and makes adjusting the volume a pain. also it seems to increment to a bit too loud and a bit too quiet. 7. Wireless receiver is excessively large. It should be the size of my fingernail, but its the size of my thumb. I'm not comfortable with this hanging loose on a computer. I'd use an USB extender. 8. Pressing down on the volume toggle usually results in just changing the volume. Why is this a button? 9. in my opinion, excessive gamer finishes make this look un-professional in the workplace 10. This may be bad luck on my part but I am noticing my corsair stuff breaks after a year. In one case, within 60days... Their products are not robust and you should not expect it to be for the low asking price.

When I was looking for my next headset after my Logitech G930 died I had a few requirements. I needed something wireless, comfortable, with good sound and excellent battery life. The Corsair Void Pro mostly lives up to my expectations, with a few exceptions. The Good Build quality seems above average for the price. The headset itself is not light, which I'll talk about more in a minute. The headset is fairly comfortable, with cups that fit over your ears rather than on them. The fabric cover rather than a faux leather/vinyl is preferable, but does seem to let in a little more outside noise than some other headsets. The mic works as expected, and the optional mic feedback is a feature I don't think I can live without anymore. Range is also quite acceptable, and I'm able to walk anywhere in my 2k sq ft home without losing the signal. Battery life is also decent, and seems to last for about 3-4 fairly prolonged sessions. The headset can be used while charging, which should just be a given for any wireless headset. The Bad The headset is heavy (I said we'd come back to this), so heavy that I found it did not sit securely on my head. When I tilted my head forward or backward the weight of the headset would cause it to shift around quite a bit, and even fall off. Sometimes the headset would pivot on my ears, and the headband would flip either forward in front of my eyes, or backward onto my neck. I was able to solve the problem by attaching a strap to the back of the headset. With this modification the headset is very stable and comfortable. Software can also be a little buggy. I've had several problems with Discord not recognizing the headset, with the mic feedback suddenly stopping, with windows not recognizing the headset, and a few other buggy issues. Verdict On the whole, the Void Pro works well when it works, and it works much more often than it doesn't. The rear headband hack fixed the one glaring design issue that I had, but I'd like to see Corsair include this feature stock. I don't care about the LED lighting, but if you're into that then this headset should please you. There are a few other good options out there, but on the whole I'm happy with this purchase.

At first, I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep this. It's a great sounding headset for the price range. The ear cups are not leather, so it breaths a lot better, and I don't have to worry about fake leather peeling and flaking after a couple years. It fits looser on the head. I have a XL wide asian head and I wear glasses, and this still fit loose on me. I definitely could wear this for hours without discomfort, but it's heavy enough I always know I have it on. Sound quality is great for the price point. I played with all the EQ settings and stuff, but really, the 7.1 surround is gimmicky. It worked with some things and not others. I could will myself to believe it worked, but it wasn't worth the hassle of worrying what setting i'm in for music or movies or games or phone conference. Things I love: 1. There's a visual queue when your mic is off (red light at the tip). 2. Voice that tells you if it's off or turned on. 3. If it's plugged into charger, it never turns off. If it's on battery, it will eventually turn off. 4. Mine's yellow. Love that it's not black. :) 5. Metal construction. I don't expect the band or swivel points to break anytime soon. 6. USB dongle is portable. I can move this to my laptop easily. 7. No sound latency like bluetooth headphones. Dislike: 1. I wish cable interface was a USB C connection instead of micro USB. You can never tell which way the cable is flipped before you jam it in. 2. Wish it was lighter. 3. Wish battery was replaceable. This is a big bulky headset. There's room, if they tried.
