My use case: - I use a laptop, and along with gaming/discord calls spend most of my day using my headphones to listen to music. I also have a bit of a larger head and ears, so I tend to use the most extended headband adjustment. For those looking to get these for a similar setup: - allow the Corsair USB receiver to have it's own port instead of a shared hub or next to one that will be used. I faced some connection issues due to this, so to avoid misattributing problems to the headset, it should have it's own port to power it. Verdict: - I would recommend these headphones to those looking for a simple, easy to setup/charge headset that feels premium and sounds great (provided you don't mind spending a few minutes changing the EQ). While I have more cons than pros in my list, I'd say half of them are pretty negligible in the scope of the experience you get out of them (price, portability, iCUE software and discord). Corsair did a good job here, though with the price you're paying you'd expect the software to have less hiccups. Hopefully fixes come out soon, but it's still a very solid option for those looking to buy them now. ---- Cons: - Pricey at $200-210 compared to competitors. Would recommend getting these on a sale or discount if possible - These headphones do not fold/collapse into a smaller shape to fit into bags, and instead only become flat by turning the ear cups. For those looking to streamline their carry, these headphones could take up more space than you'd like. - Out of the box, you need to adjust the EQ for these to sound good. It may have pre-set profiles that could fit your taste, but more likely than not you need to fiddle around with the EQ in the Corsair iCUE app to have them sound as good as they can. - The iCUE software has odd issues with apps like Discord, but not in ways that prevent me from being able to take calls. There can be a large 3-4 second delay on sound effects like muting, or sometimes they just don't play those effects at all. I'm unsure of how this happens, but I would like to think because forum posts suggest it's a software issue that this can be resolved down the line. - As far as I'm aware, you cannot buy 3rd party ear cushions like Wicked Cushions to get better padding/comfort to swap with these. Some may have a problem with the thickness of the cushions included. - For bigger headed people like myself, it may take time to break them in for a good fit since I had to fully extend the headband and allow for the tension/grip of the headphones to lessen over a few days of use. Pros: - This mic is probably one of the best you could be getting as part of a dedicated gaming headset. While there's a lack of adjustment options for your mic sound, the sound is pretty close to my former setup using a ModMic Wireless, which was clear and high quality. This mic is removable, and fits using a shaped and recessed port that ensures it won't slip out if you jostle the headphones around. The gooseneck style mic has a solid hold and doesn't feel flimsy in the slightest. Along with the quality, there is also an audio cue where a voice tells you when you mute + you can see either red or green for muted and unmuted. You will likely be in fewer situations where you don't know you're on a hot mic, or can prevent it altogether by taking it off the headset. - The build quality is great, and while reviews online claim these are fairly heavy (if you are used to other lighter gaming headsets) I think the weight isn't much of an issue personally for daily use. Very solid and premium feeling, and I haven't had any issues with heat in the ear cushions. I use these for upward of 8-10 hours a day with some breaks between, and haven't found there to be any issues like pressure on top of my head or heat/pressure on my ears. While I haven't dropped them yet, I feel like these are definitely capable of withstanding a drop with very minimal damage. - The connection range is great. I've been able to walk through my house and have a wall between the room the receiver is in and myself while listening/talking fine. Obviously, thicker walls or multiple walls play a role here, but what's great compared to my other wireless experiences is that the headset automatically reconnects without me having to turn it off or manually do so from my laptop. I would say the consistent connection range goes up to 30-35 feet at most (with no walls between you and the receiver), and it could get spotty from there on. Situations may vary though. - The ease of setup and charging made this purchase worth it for me. Coming from what I thought would be a nice, long lasting setup using Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT wireless headphones and a ModMic wireless, I sorely missed the ease of charging one thing with USB-C compared to using 2 micro usb chargers on both my mic and headset separately. The Corsair iCUE software, while it may cause minor delay issues in sound effects for Discord (but not the calls), is pretty much set-and-forget as far as EQ adjustment goes and disabling the RGB to prolong the battery life. If you have a phone or other electronics that use USB-C this headset works seamlessly into using minimal cables to charge everything. - The quality of the included accessories out of the box is in my opinion top tier as far as gaming headsets go. Braided USB-C charging cable, a very premium feeling and lowkey carrying bag, and the USB receiver following suit with the premium quality and feel. While one of the cons is the price, at the very least Corsair delivered in ensuring you didn't feel like they cheaped out on anything here.

I started off with the wireless Void Pro RGB headset (white) because all my friends talked about how the quality was great. I liked the way I sounded with the mic and the sound was nice, but it fit my head too big (I’m a small-sized girl). I liked the headset but was worried about how it didn’t fit me properly. But then I saw this one and I exchanged the void pro for this one and boy am I soooo happy! The first thing that made me get it was the color, since it matches my keyboard and mouse perfectly (they’re both the same color scheme: aluminum and white). I was also interested in the shape of the ear cuffs, and was hoping it would fit me better. I’m really happy with the fit because it fits my head so perfectly!! My ears fit comfortably in the cuffs as well, and the cuffs are so soft so it’s much more comfortable than the void pro’s. Since these fit me properly, I also noticed that the noise cancellation was pretty good for it as well. It’s not 100% canceled out, but it does a great job at it. I also enjoy the fact it has the 3.5mm jack as well, in case I want to use it with my PS4! The only thing that I don’t like was that I can’t really turn off the RGB from the iCUE software so I’m afraid it’ll drain my battery. The upside to that is that it comes with a Type C charging cable so at least it’ll charge very quickly. So far, the battery life seems great, my friends say the mic quality is still really good, and it’s overall very comfortable on my head and ears. It’s a bit pricey but I’m very pleased with the upgrade from the Void Pro!

It’s easy to set up and use. I use it for both my PS4 Pro and for Zoom conferences on my PC. Sound is clear for 7.1 for talking and hearing game play. Charge time is great -just 45 minutes. Nice carrying case to keep everything together. It’s comfortable for about 4 hours at a time with Memory foam lining. Custom side adjustable to fit most head sizes. A bit on the high $$$ price range but overall I am happy with it as compared to other high end headsets.

I own these and a SteelSeries Wireless Arctis Pro Gaming Headset. My kids each had a pair, first, for their virtual schooling. It helped them transition to “liking” their at-home setups, plus worked at stopping everyone’s speakers blaring with their classes. The sound quality is certainly above average and the clarity is great. Watching “Godzilla vs. King Kong,” for example, is an enjoyable experience. I can hear/sense things moving around my ears. I do wish the bass was a bit deeper, but understand the to-be expected limitations of a headset. From a comfort standpoint, I do not notice any ear fatigue or heat issues, present in some other headsets. Of the earpieces, the LED lighting on the side are a nice touch, aesthetically, but their presence seems more-so to appeal to a younger crowd. I do wish, however, the microphone was retractable. The Artcis Pro and several others, even when retracted, seem perfectly fine for communicating. This is a small gripe, but it would have been nice. Adjusting it is not the biggest deal in the world, but its presence in my peripheral vision seems annoying.

[Employee of bestbuy] Headset fits incredibly well, has fantastic sounds, and holds a significant amount of charge when used wirelessly. The only complaint I can make is that if you install iCUE to control anything RGB and EQ related, the “Enhancements” tab will be removed for this device in Windows sound settings. Very niche issue so overall an incredible headset even at the premium price.
