Customer Ratings & Reviews

CORSAIR products have been highly used in our family for many years, from gaming peripherals (mice and headsets) to PC components (it is our choice brand for memory). With my son's favorite Corsair finally starting to wear down with all the use, it was time to find the replacement. The CORSAIR VOID v2 MAX Wireless Gaming Headset looked to be the one to go with. Trying the 2.4 GHz connection, I plugged in wireless dongle ("receiver"), tuned the headset on, and it eventually paired. I went to the VOID v2 MAX page on the CORSAIR website to download the iCUE app. During installation, it detected the headset and the receiver and included the modules needed for them. I did have to restart the computer after the installation. First time to run the app, it did prompt to update the firmware for the headset and the receiver from v0.13.xxx to v0.15.xxx). Had to plug the USB cable in and click "Got it!" to start the headset upgrade, then the same for the receiver. Overall, it took about 10 minutes for both to complete. The design is fairly typical, with swivel (full swivel inwards to be able lay flat) and side tilting for the earcups, tilt to mute mic boom and lightly cushioned headband. I do like that the earcup/head support band can be adjusted up and down rather than using a limited-positioned elastic band so that the fit can be finely adjusted. Unfortunately, the headband cushion still doesn't rest as comfortably on the top of my head as I prefer. Normally I could move it back some to get a better feeling, but the shape of foam on the earcups doesn't give much adjustability as it already barely fits around my ears. The fabric over the earcup foam isn't quite as soft to the touch as some headsets we've used, but once they are on and in place, it isn't noticeable. The fabric may last a little longer like that To turn on, the power button is on the left side of the left earcup and just below that is a multifunction button (# of presses determines the function). On the bottom of the left earcup is the USB-C charging port, volume "rocker" wheel which is digital and controls the main volume directly in Windows. Strangely, the first time I tried the headset, it seemed to control its own volume rather than Windows, but that that changed the next time I used it. One nice thing about this headset is that when it needs recharging, 15 minutes will give it wireless again for another 6 hours. Also, they can still be used while charging. At first, I was thinking that the sound quality was good, just not quite as good as some other headset we use, but then I opened the Dolby Access app (which access to Dolby Atmos is available while the headset is connected). That app gives some sound settings, such as selecting the use type (Game, Movie, Music, etc.) each with some preset equalizer settings. There are also 3 Custom equalizer settings that can be configured and used. I set a Custom equalizer to my normal settings (geared towards deeper bass), but I found that for me, turning on the Volume Leveler in the Custom ones improved the sound (less muffled). When I first tried these out (before installing iCue), I was getting some occasional pops at first when listening to music, but it seemed to clear up with reducing the bass frequencies a little bit on the equalizer in Dolby Access app. After the firmware update, the pops were replaced with occasional digital garble. I tried adjusting the volume levels (headset/Windows and the music app), and it mostly helped, but not completely. For the mic quality, one of my sons mentioned it wasn't too bad, but not the best. There are some mic settings in the Dolby Access app but haven't tried any of those yet with him to see if there any improvements. Overall, these are a decent wireless headset, I would recommend taking a look to see if they would work for you.

Great purchase, awesome sound and very affordable!
