CORSAIR - VOID SE Wireless Gaming Headset - Yellowjacket

Beautify headset. Sound quality is great, earmuffs are comfortable, long wireless range, and it's made of quality materials. The only downside I noticed was that there is no sound boost for the microphone, so people sometimes have trouble hearing me.

Used it for 1-2 months Pro: The sound is great. Got it for a good price. Long charge. Fits over ears easily and comfortably. Good connection. Cons: Can easily fall off head. (mines big) Took FOREVER! to setup.

easy to install and great sounding and is comfortable

I purchased these for myself for gaming. comfortable, great sound quality and mic. I liked these headphones so well that I purchase them for my Grandson for Christmas.

Very good headphones for the price. They sound great and there very comfortable. I would recommend.

Been using the wired Vengeance 1500 for a few years and been very happy with. I tried the wireless Vengeance 2100 a year ago or so and returned it for several reasons (too heavy, short battery life, does not adjust to small heads, and buzzing microphone). I'm very happy with the Void SE. Here is why: - I have a small head, and the void feels fitting perfectly (unlike the Vengeance 2100) - It feel much more comfortable than the Vengeance 2100, easy on the neck, ears and top of the head. Can wear it for several hours without noticing it. - Solid construction (the aluminium arms are actual aluminium or metal) - The sound quality is great within a nice range (tested within 20 feet or so). I'm not a gamer but spend several hours a day on Spotify and Skype. - The microphone is excellent AS LONG AS you adjust the microphone arm. It's a flexible arm and out of the box sticks straight and does not catch any voice, I suppose that's because of the very good noise filter. Once adjusted near the mouth, the sound is excellent (according to the people I talk too on Skype). The mic arm remains formed when being flipped up and back to/from the rest position. A plus. - The battery seems to be holding pretty well, at least a normal day of use (unlike the Vengeance 2100). I like the auto-off feature (I think it's set to 10 minutes). I also noticed that it can be used while charging (in a non-wireless mode of some sort). What needs improvements and what I don't like: - There is a light feedback on the microphone when the mic is on mute... Unless I grow a 3rd eye or install a mirror on my desk, I can't see it. It can be tricky when using Skype. One good thing is that there is a different sound feedback when turning it on/off. - Everything that's software feels clunky and unusable (custom user settings, etc). But once it's setup it works great. - The mini USB charging port on the headset is... mini. - The LED thing... oh my... good news is that it can just be ignored and turned off This unit is a keeper :-)

First of, a little bit about me. I consider myself to be a gaming enthusiast and I have owned previous versions of Corsair's Headsets such as the 2100 and H2100. (H2100 earcups were made of a much better material then the 2100) but nevermind that because the VOID RBG SE is very impressive. Its made of mostly metal with some yellow colored plastic accents (Even on the usb cables) and although it has some weight to it the way Corsair designed the frame makes it relax on your head in a great way. It also doesn't feel like its going to slide off if you lean to the side or look down. They've gone away from the metal wheel the 2100's had and replaced it with the Cue control switch which I'm still trying to get used to. The earcups are a much appreciated improval with the flat bottoms. They relax around your ears much more comfortably. The round earcups found on other headsets would pinch a nerve or cause a pain right behind my ears after a few hours of use forcing me to take them off for an hour or so. But heres some things that I've noticed so far that I'm loving. Pros: Metal Frame feels solid RGB colors are bright and accurate Flat bottom ear cups are very comfortable You can tell its 7.1 Dolby Digital Surround sound Battery life off of a single charge is awesome My only con is that its Yellow. I understand that this is the Yellowjacket version so I wont hold it against them. The color is starting to grow on me. P.S PLEASE. Please. Download the Corsair Utility Engine (CUE) software for the headset off of their website. It will work without it but depending on your computer it may not set up correctly if you just plug and play.

So I went ahead and bought this headset on a whim, my Logitech G930's had finally died after serving me well for a very long time. I was in the market for something that was from a trusted brand, was very well received, was wireless, had a built in mic, was comfortable, and also looked good. I had been looking for a new headset for a few weeks and I was considering the not yet released Logitech G933, the HyperX Cloud II, and of course the Corsair VOID headset. I won't go over the specifics of the other mentioned headsets as I have settled on this one otherwise I wouldn't be needing to write this review. Pros: The best things that I can say about this headset would have to center around the battery life and audio quality. The battery is rated for around 16 hours I believe of non stop gaming. I can confirm that the battery life is at least 16 hours as I have gone for days with the headset on a single charge and the indicator LED's on the boom mic as well as an audible tone allow me to know when the battery is running low. My only complaint about the battery warning indicator is that the LED's that Corsair claims are in your peripheral vision are not completely visible as the boom is skewed slightly making the LED's hard to see unless you strain your eyes to look at them. As for the sound quality, well it's pretty good for 50 mm drivers, probably some of the best in its class of headsets. The audio range is good and there is deep bass and warm highs. I really do like the fact that this has simulated 7.1 channel Dolby Surround but since it is simulated there can be some issues in games with sounds from behind not being audible. Cons: Two of my biggest gripes of this headset are going to centered around the CUE software and the power port, now you're probably gonna say, "The power port, really? Surely you could have found another flaw." and you would be right but that is what I will focus on. As for Corsair's CUE software there are a few quirks that it has with the driver as well as the lighting profiles. While the overall design and usefulness of the software is great I found that the lighting profile felt to be incomplete. When the CUE software is not running there is a constant rainbow on the headset that I really like, however CUE does not allow that and instead the "Rainbow Pulse" setting is just 7 preset colors that fade in and out repeatedly, very annoying. Aside from this the color profiling is very robust and can be used to match lighting themes on other Corsair RGB products. My other issue with CUE is the driver itself, my issue is that with prolonged use I found that the CUE audio driver conflicted with my Realtek ALC1150 audio drivers on my ASUS motherboard which then cause the Windows Audio Device Graph.exe to skyrocket my CPU usage while idling and in games. It constantly made my overclocked computer turn into a snail and I was very displeased with this. I think Corsair could have taken more time to make sure that issues like this would not have happened. The other issue I had was concerning the feeling of fragility of the power port for when I need to charge this. When you plug in any USB cable to a device for the first time it will always feel a bit stiff but it soon loosens up after a few uses, however with the VOID I found myself exerting unnecessary amounts of force to remove the cable from the port after charging, even now after almost 3 weeks of extended use. I feel that with all of this unnecessary force I am going to break the port as I have already damaged the cable that came with it. If Corsair could refine this in maybe a revision 2.0 that would be great. Overview: While there are a lot of pros and cons that can be listed off, this is still a great headset for the money whether you spring to the SE Yellow Jacket like I did of if you would rather have the black ones without all of the annoying yellow. The headset has great wireless range and I am able to freely walk about my house while listening to music and not have to be tethered to my desktop by a cable. The sound is very loud and it comes across very clear as long as there are no obstructions and there is no interference from other 2.4 GHz band devices. The headset also feels very durable and seems to have more heft to it compared to my G930's making me feel a little more comfortable with its construction. The headband and earcups have memory foam cushions that are upholstered by fabric rather than simulated leather which makes them much more comfortable and much harder to sweat in. The mic is sub par, it's what you would expect from any standard headset mic that is going to be using VOIP software to control it. It's great for gaming but if you are into streaming or creating YouTube or Vessel content then I would invest in an actual desktop microphone with a pop filter. Overall this headset is great for the money and I have had very few issues with it so far, this is one purchase that I can say with confidence is money well spent.
