CORSAIR - VOID RGB ELITE Wired 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset for PC - Carbon

I’ve had this headset for a month and here’s what I can tell you. Corsair makes fantastic headsets - I’ve previously owned a wireless gaming headset of theirs and the sound and build was amazing - lasted me years. However, this one is legitimately a 4.9 out of 5. A headset has 4 goals to accomplish. - Sound - Build - Design - Integration. Sound? Sounds great. Bass is crisp and clear, highs aren’t rattle-filled or raspy. I think it would sound even better if it wasn’t for what I talk about under “Build”. Build: Whoever designed this headset obviously hasn’t seen someone with a head like mine. For reference I am 6’1. Tall dude but thin. This headset *almost* sits 100% contact-wise around my ears. Design: I mean it’s pretty. The RGB looks good, it’s tasteful, but “integration” is uh...rough. The headset has a fairly durable/quality cable and fittings. Doesn’t feel cheap at all. Integration: absolutely horrid. Corsair’s “iCUE” software is used for all of their hardware now. I also have a Corsair water cooler so, I figured it was about time I downloaded it. As soon as it was installed, my headset’s mic was stuck on mute and pressing the button did nothing, restarting the PC did nothing. I uninstalled and rebooted and it was fixed, but I haven’t touched the button since.

So the presets and sound sucks at first, but I got the cure for you. Overall, the headphones are good. Discord friends say I sound a lot better then my razer kraken 7.1. Make sure you download the IUE software from Corsair website to control the EQ settings and colors.

I have used these for about a week now and the headset is great. I will say I don't know if this was something wrong with just my headset or many others but its like the cord no matter how much i try will not go straight. How the cord is folded in the box has made my cord permanently bent in a very awkward way that makes it impossible to prevent the cord from tangling (even while sitting perfectly still)when using them. The cord about every inch or so bends like 90 degrees or so and whenever you try to fix it it feels like the actual cable under the protective layer is twisted and due to this I never completely get to enjoy this headset because I'm too busy untangling the cord.(which is essentially pointless) To summarize, I've had 20 dollar headsets with a cord infinitely better than the on corsair used in the product.

ddint want to connect to ps and couldnt mute but otherwise worked well

Matches my Corsair keyboard and mouse. Simple set up configurations also just plug n play.

The sound is ok and not great. I bought this to replace the previous non ELITE version of this headset. I've had this for less than a year and the wires are already starting to get very worn.

I game with it. It games good. It sounds good. Bidirectional 7.1 sound works really well in games. You can really hear where things are happening around you. However, microphone is just good. The mic is a little low and you may have to raise you in app mic sensitivity settings, like in discord, or in game settings per game. But nothing is bad. If you don't talk on the mic, then this thing is awesome for in game directional and super clear sound.
