Thorough review, just one thing I hate the leather like cuffs is the sweat that starts when I wear it for an extended amount of time. Which the mesh reduces that factor. Granted this may not be an issue for others.
IF YOU ARE THINKING IN BUY ONE OF THOSE 1. The mic quality is better and it dont have a mic dongle wich obligates you to search it before starting a chat; 2. Void's Microfiber doesnt peel off with the long therm use as the fake leather does; 3. Void's Microfiber doesnt make your ear sweat, it has a very confortable heating control; 4. The memory foam and its design makes 10 hours of daily use like you not even used a headset for that long; 5. Its a close cup headset, if you're looking for bass, you should seek for open ones; 6. What your sixth opinion would be?
I own a non-wireless VOID Pro, and I've accidentally abused the cable NUMEROUS times (I've accidentally stepped on the cord and tugged the headset off the table onto the ground, and I've accidentally stepped on the cord while wearing it on my head; I'm clumsy.) The cord on the wired version is durable, haven't had any issues so far even with the amount of trauma it's been through, and the headset itself is still alright; which I'm shocked about. Since I haven't used it with any other device thus far, I decided to just route the cable, and as a result, no more tripping. And the 3.5mm to USB (DAC?/dongle) that the drivers interact with, for the 7.1 surround, cancels out electrical interference (since my front panel audio jacks have horrible interference this is useful.)
Love the lil plant! Thanks for taking to the time to review the Void Pro- been looking at these for a while but needed a few reviewers opinions before I could purchase, however now I'm actually considering the HS70 because I love that leather cupped ear pieces! Thanks Mr. Savage Studio
It's interesting that I just went to buy a new gaming headset today and my choice came down to these 2 headsets. Whats more interesting was the fact that the void pro was the cheaper of the 2 headsets! I ended up going with the HS70 SE and I'm completely happy with my choice.
@@pythergaming6513 in all honesty I'd say 8.5/10 it's not perfect, but it doesn't suck either. I like that you can easily adjust it or remove it but the sound could be a bit better..but I'm really just nit picking cuz you asked. The audio I'd give a 9.5/10. Lets put it this way...it's easily worth the cost! I would make the same choice again if I had a do over.
Appreciate the review (2+ years later) I just picked up a Corsair Virtuoso after using the Void for 3 years, and I just hate it. I still love the sound of the Void and my question is, if I hate the Virtuoso, will I hate the HS70? Is the HS70 similar to the Void's sound performance? I really hope so, because I agree with your criticisms of the Void and would like a better fitting headset.
I appreciate your super honest and detailed reviews. Always very helpful to see your videos to see if I might want the new thing or not in the future. Thanks!
Video well done! So I purchased the Void Pro SE (Yellow Jacket) about 3 weeks ago, directly from Corsair. Today I found out they just released the HS70, so obviously I was concerned. Came to TH-cam to see what the differences were and your video was the BEST!! However, I'm going to stick with the Yellow Jackets. I totally agree with some of your points, but for me, the Yellow Jackets are just a tad better and have some extras as well. Anyway, THANKS and please keep up the great work!
I own a void, which is the older non pro version, but except for a few small tweaks, its essentially the same headset. I will say that some of SC.ST. gripes are valid. The mic does pick up EVERYTHING and hearing my breath in the side tone is VERY annoying, as a I'm sure it is for anyone I'm talking to. I will also say that if you move the mic below your mouth to avoid your breath it is definitely a good idea to go into your mic properties an bump up your record volume slightly because you will end up much quieter than your realize.the other thing is that the headset is loose to the point where if you lean forward they feel lie they are going to fall off you head. BUT, that same looseness makes then virtually disappear while they are on your head. After 5 minutes I forget they're on my head. the other nice thing about the loos feel and memory foam is that these headphones breath REALLY WELL so my ears never get hot even during summer. One lest thing, if you're expecting good music quality, don't. The music sound has a slight tinny tone to it even with the base up. That being said, that same sound that sucks for music is tuned so well for gaming that you will be amazed at what you're able to hear. The 7.1 surround is also tuned to a T. So if your buying for gaming, you will not be disappointed.
I'm in the market for a wireless headset and I'm a big fan of your vidoes. Do you still recommend the HS70 or have you changed it up since making this?
I agree with your choice of the Hs70 Headset, mostly because my friend has a pair of back wired Corsair Void headphones, and the microphone is loose, so it comes down and hit you in the face when you try and push it up to the side, he also accidentally grabbed the end of the mic to hard and it literally just fell off, and I wore them once, and they were WAY to loose, they just kept sliding off my ears! I recently bought a pair of HS70 Pro Wireless headphones in carbon black, and I can tell that they were already better than the the ones my friend owns. They have a tighter, but still comfortable clamping force, a detachable mic, "7.1 Surround", I don't know why but my pc makes it sound low quality and really crappy, but I don't use it anyway, and the headset also still cost less that my friends pair of Void Pros... I also found out my other friend bought a pair of H60 wired headphones in green, and we are both happy with our HS series lineup of headphones. This was a cool comparison that I watched before buying a headset from staples, so thanks!
Thank you for pointing out the headset sway on the VOID. I have been enjoying everything but the build and this has made it a no brainer to get the hs70's
When your doing the noise test could you type on a mechanical keyboard so we can hear how it picks up background noise? I hate hearing my friends click clacking away. Thanks for the solid review.
Interesting video Greg, can I just ask bro... Do you need to run the Corsair software or does the Hs70 work well out of the box? I don't like having to install extra software just to use a device. Many thanks mate
I decided stop being a wired snob and go with a good value wireless headset and landed on HS70 after my research. They are great. Could be more comfortable since they don't have ear cups that swivel but great nonetheless. The Void Pros look like they have a less durable construction. Never even considered buying them. Surprised they are more expensive. Great vid!
Hey Science Studio. Thanks for the head-to-head. I've been deciding between these 2 headsets for a while now. While you covered almost everything, you left out some important stuff. You said that they have "similar" audio quality. Can you tell me which one has better audio quality? Also, can you tell me which one has better surround? Thanks.
Have a void pro, been about a year or 2 of owning it. Battery life is extremely low now, no idea if I can replace it, range is much much lower than when purchased. Connection is impossible when standing near my microwave when it's on. It was good for the first 2 months but with extended use near microwave it's just low tier now. Unfortunate to hear that HS70 is "competing with themselves" and not a replacement headset lineup, looks like I'm going to have to switch back to Logitech (after having the wired G633 headset cable break after 6 months, hopefully wireless is better)
I would have to disagree here with your analysis on the Void Pro. Again looks are purely subjective which is why headset reviews are pretty hard to do correctly, but I rather like the uniqueness and shape of the void pro. The new style seems more traditional for my tastes. I would also wonder how much the other pair squeezes your head. I have had a few different types of headsets and the void pro being looser makes to where I am not constantly adjusting them or moving them around for discomfort on my skin. This was a really good review here. Love your content, and keep up the good work!
THE VOID WAS TOPPING MY LIST! IF IT WASN'T COMING UP TO XMAS ALREADY I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THEM!! GOOD STUFF THE HS70 IS NOW THE FRONT RUNNER DEF MUCH MORE COMFY AND WELL BUILT.
I have a two year old white Void Pro RGB that finally just died, but my mic looks different than this one...it might be an older revision. I completely agree with your review of it. Since I need a replacement, I think I'll give the HS70 a shot after seeing this. :)
I don’t remember where I watched a video also adding that regarding to sound, the less you add is better, more natural sound, and the 3D sound as the developer programmed to be. But in this situation looks like the same headset with different housing
for the void the mic is always in your lower left eye so you'll always know if you're on or off the arm also bends semi nicely and they sit on your ears better I've found that the HS60/70 touches your ears more and may cause discomfort
Side note both mics are very quiet but very crisp and no background hiss. I put the mic poof from my old void and put it on my HS60 it doesn't fit well but it works for those who might wanna do that
had the older 2000/2100 series. and wow it's really amazing, very good comfort and sound good. Then when it broke down. I bought void. but does not feel so good at all. The comfort of 2100/2000 was really great. but can not be bought anymore look at this to think of maybe buying the HS70 instead. but i think all stick with the void Thx 4 this Showdown
3 years later I just picked up an HS70 pro and absolutely love them. Also passed on the voids due to the aesthetics and comfort. They seem to have improved the mic quality since your review too.
I have the Void pro wired.. and I agree.. it feels cheap and my goodness... the wire is the most tangling thing I have ever met.. every 12 hours you have to unplug it.. untangle the dang cord and then re-plug it back in again.. So yes I agree the Void Pro's feel cheap but I do agree the 50mm drivers do sound pretty good...but then again... most 50mm drivers do.
I can't say I agree or disagree because I only have the Void Pro. Maybe the comfort thing is the shape of your head because the Void Pro fits me great. I kinda have a fat head though. It fit's snug and comfy for me. I never use the mic so it makes no difference to me. I really love the software so you can tune it to your liking depending on if your watching A movie, you tube or gaming. I would love to try out the HS70 but I am not going to buy one just to do it.
My Corsair VOID Pro Gaming Headset, the yellow and black one, finally died this weekend. So, I'll investing into those new HS70's because they look modern and very similar to my Bose Quiet Comfort II's.
I have a void pro, they are good, except that they are not recognized in CUE, and have to be on around 10-25 volume or its way to loud. Its the second pair because I thought that they were defective, but it turns out they all are like this.
Mine doesn't have your issues lol I guess you do have a defective one which color is it? My one is the black edition I know the yellow ones have problems
Yes. Void pro sounds good. Rest is like u say. I use beats studio a lot and corsair offers something else. Beats and corsair 2 different stories but both awesome experience
HS70 First pair was doa (couldn't charge) second pair is dying right now -> busted on/off button and loose membrane drivers on both sides even tho they were never abused!
I've owned the HS 60 for a few months now and they have been great and I recommend buying one also but, one thing. if your someone who puts there headphones down on their desk often and kinda hard I've noticed the plastic piece that indicates "Left" or "Right" starts cracking but thankfully lt doesn't look like a structural part and they're screwed in so they should stay even if cracked.
The HS70 kinda reminds me a the Turtle Beach X41s from back in the day. It was the first wireless headset I ever had and I have some great memories on my 360 with them. My PC setup is all black, but I kind of want to buy the white HS70 just for nostalgia sake since I'm looking for a wireless headset right now.
Prefer the HS70 , looks , fit , etc all the reasons you had mentioned in the vid . The HS70's remind me of my Sennheiser HD558 and HD598 SE's . Good video and thx again Greg !
the HS70's look so much better. Like you said I wouldn't be embarrassed wearing those. I would be embarrassed wearing the void's. For perspective i have used the sennheiser game one (black) headset for nearly 3 years. Subtle, light, and sounds great. I would switch to these if the MIC was better.
The HS 70 is a nice headset but for me: It failed hard simply due to the amount of problems I had with the battery. After 4 months the battery was dead, send it in for repair and still nothing. Out of warranty: I let it be checked and got the battery replaced, still nothing. The Battery is soldered in which is a HASSLE to repair on your own (unlike the Void, but I simply dislike the shape of the earmufs). Finally: That new batterie is not recognised either, meaning something in addition to the original battery broke. I can still use it: just not as a wireless headset.
I love how the void pro sounds and looks I think the Corsair void pro feels more expensive because I have one and it fits me better and the hs70 sqishes against my head too much
I just use my Sennheiser HD 4.5's Little bit more expensive but they are much better all round and I can always buy a standalone mic to avoid using the handsfree quality one in the headset
I still have the VENGEANCE 1300. As I prefer plugs over USB.. As you can use the high end audio cards jacks. Which have very good DAC's on modern mother boards.. Just order some new ear pads when they wear out and they still look new.
I have the Void Pros and I agree with just about everything you said except for the comfort part, I find the memory foam very comfortable myself albeit the fit on my head is a little loose.
I rock the Plantronics 995H-02. The mic is a little sensitive, but not as much as the Logitech h600 headset it replaced. The headset was a little heavy at first, but it's easy to get used to and it stays on well. The manual for the 995 says it has a 3-4hr battery life, but the H-02 variant can get closer to 6-8 in my experience. Good audio drivers, good mic quality. I'm having some mic issues with my main pc right now, but I tried it on my laptop and it works just fine, so it must be a software compatibility problem with VoiceMeeter
I have the USB Voids(Non-pro) and the Wireless Void Pro, the USB Voids seem to actually have a better grip around my head, if you do find the Corsair Voids to be more appealing, go with the older generation!
Although I prefer the style of the Voids because the "gamer" aesthetic fits me better, plus I already have a set of headphones for wearing in public, I will admit the HS70s are really nice, you can't go wrong with either one!
Hey SS I just returned a pair of VOID PRO RGB $79.99 and opted for the MassDrop Sennheiser PC37X $119.99 big price difference I know but I hope it’s worth it wish me luck guys
If you live in a hot county chose the void pro because the leather in hs series will start deteriorating after a few months unless you play with a hoodie
I bought the void pro surround (which I think is cheapest of the void line) and I don’t have a problem with them. But every one has their own opinions. But I do agree the mic is annoying and i who’s it was more flexible.
Dang I like that white Void headset! I just picked up the cheaper black(non rgb) wired set and it actually sounds pretty dang good. Walmart had it on clearance for 20$, so I had to try em out! Still not sure if I like them better than my 4-5 years old Sony Pulse Elite wireless headset. The only big upgrade is mic quality, everyone I game with has mentioned how much better this new one sounds.
This video really helped me decide which of these headsets to buy. HS70s are are otw! Also, can anyone tell me about the chair used in this video maybe drop a link here. I built an all white gaming rig, got the white HS70s and that white chair would top it all of. Keep the great reviews coming.
I specifically like the void pro because of the more loose fit. I've had others that kinda clamp to my head and I can't stand it. I have a fairly large, space heater of a head so I like being able to slip them off quickly when having a heat stroke. still thumbs up for ya... also $65 for mine
i'm listening to this video wearing the void pro RGB (wired version because im too lazy to remember to charge the batteries). the only complaint i have about it is the sound quality isn't the best in the world and every so often the speakers start to make a lot of static static noise. but there pretty comfy to wear for a long duration. Edit: the void pro RGB is a giant fingerprint magnet.
@@Vriess123 i have a larger head (a new L/XL 39Thirty hat is tight at first) I love the fit of my Void Pro except the memory foam band could be a bit wider. And custom EQ is a must. But I'm happy with it I've only used cheap $20 Amazon headset and VoIP Jabra & Sennheiser mono sets before. The amazon one had bad crossover with a muted mic so I figured Id get a set with its own usb DAC.
I just picked up the Corsair HS70 SE today, if you're still having issues With static (something I did right out of the box) I forced the firmware to update (it said I already had the most recent version) because of loud static sounds all the time, it fixed the problem immediately. Sorry for the nekro.
I had the same problem with the static until I realized it was the ambient buzz from my sidetone. Next time you hear it, mute the mic and it should go away.
WARNING! The HS70 headphones do not last. I had mine for a total of 1.5 years and they will not charge anymore. The fake leather will peel away, the earpads will fall off on their own anyways so you have to get new ones, and the cheap plastic swivel piece snapped in half. All of that happened at the one year mark. 6 months later they do not recharge. I tried different cables in different ports and no-dice. Maybe buying a new battery would make them work again but I am not gonna waste my time any longer trying to salvage corsair's junk just so something else can break a weak later. These suck, and so does the software. Not buying anymore Corsair products.
I got the Void RGB PRO and I regret buying it. It has a good sound and mic quality but it is too loose. Planning to buy the HS70 or the Steelseries Arctis 5.
Thanks for the video. I've been looking for a replacement for my long-serving Logitech g930s and was thinking of going with the Arctis 7 Wireless (as lovely as I'm sure the Arctis Pro's 40kz frequency response is, it's hard to justify £300) but the HS70 definitely seems hard to beat at that value-wireless price point.
Can you use the detachable mic slot and add your own? If not you could just disconnect the mic on the headset and use an external one connected to your PC.
@@zakh1579 The latency was unnoticeable, battery lasts very long, but the sound quality was pretty awfull, to visualise the sound quality, imagine an image, sharpen it so that its way over sharpened and then blur the image, thats what the headphones sound like, over sharpened muffled high end noise, so i instantly returned it and bought 2 headphones to try instead. I bought the DT 770 PRO (80 ohm version) headset but personally i wouldn't recomend getting that if your not comfortable setting up a EQ for the headset or if you are sensitive to tight headphone ( it gets looser over time) another verry good and convenient option is Audio-Technica ATH-M40x, its main downside is its not the most comfortable. if you are comfortable with doing an EQ www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/8q4wbg/those_who_use_the_dt770_80_ohm_which_eq_settings/ the dt 770 has better sound quality IMO it needs to have an eq to make it sound nice , not very portable or easy to drive, m40x not as great sound quality but still very good, very portable and easy to drive on devices.
I'm looking for a headset that is more focused on mic quality that doesn't cost over a hundred dollars -- or at least where the mic and headphone quality are more balanced. Could you recommend a headset in the 70-100 dollar range that has a better microphone and still has decent headphones?
How about a comparison between the Corsair HS50 and HyperX Stinger? Both around the same price point. Curious to see if there's really much difference.
HS70 earpads look like they would be better since they lock out the exterior sounds better so you can actually hear whats going on in the game instead of in your house or outside . I have Void USB headset that is wired and pretty much exact same as the Void Pro .
I had the void pro for exactly a year until it broke to no fault but my own (late for work didn't have time to put my deoderant back nicely so I threw it like a caveman throwing a spear at a woolly mammoth cracking my monitor and breaking the ear cup off the frame). I remember while I was standing I looked up and the headset just slipped off my head onto the tile, and the feature were you move the microphone up to mute it no longer worked. I also had a problem with the microphone picking up every singe gust of air on the planet. But besides that the headset was awesome and definitely not a bad choice. 8/10
I had the Void Pros and they were good for the money, but not excellent. Bad UI and EQ options. Go with a wired Sennheiser Game Zero for about $160 on Amazon. Excellent mic and surround sound.
hs60 is 30$, basically the hs70 but wired. I really want wireless though. Also, if you need a mic to pair with the hs70 but dont got alot of money, get the fifine k669. it sounds super clear for 30$
Wow not sure if it's your specific white one, cause my void pro the black edition has no filter etc and I can lower my mic so that it also misses my breathing. on top of that the memory foam is much more firmer on my one and have no issues with it falling off etc, maybe I got lucky or maybe you got bad batch or maybe simple wear and tear. I've had my one now for almost a year don't remember exactly when I bought my one and I bought it from my work place so got a super nice discount. In terms of sound I do agree it's really good, mic as with all wireless headsets it tends to be worse then wired ones but like I mentioned previously if maybe you had a better quality one your opinion would have been different. I just thought I'd share my experience with my void pro.
Honestly i bought the hs70's over the void pro because of this video and i can't use them at all. They are the least comfortable headset that i have ever used. My brother has the void pro so i wanted to get something different. So that's why i decided to get the h70's. Inside where your ear goes on the h70's there is a solid notch idk what for, but if you have big ears it is the most irritating thing. The void pros don't have that notch in them making them way more comfortable. I'm not to sure if you have to wear them a certain way or something,but it shouldn't be like that for a headset. About to return the hs70's complete garbage imo

Thank you for that review because I was intresting into buying the void pro but now I get back to search
When your doing the noise test could you type on a mechanical keyboard so we can hear how it picks up background noise? I hate hearing my friends click clacking away. Thanks for the solid review.
Interesting video Greg, can I just ask bro... Do you need to run the Corsair software or does the Hs70 work well out of the box? I don't like having to install extra software just to use a device. Many thanks mate
How can your video quality be so good, everything always looks so clear. :thinking:
I decided stop being a wired snob and go with a good value wireless headset and landed on HS70 after my research. They are great. Could be more comfortable since they don't have ear cups that swivel but great nonetheless. The Void Pros look like they have a less durable construction. Never even considered buying them. Surprised they are more expensive. Great vid!
Hey Science Studio. Thanks for the head-to-head. I've been deciding between these 2 headsets for a while now. While you covered almost everything, you left out some important stuff. You said that they have "similar" audio quality. Can you tell me which one has better audio quality? Also, can you tell me which one has better surround? Thanks.
Have a void pro, been about a year or 2 of owning it. Battery life is extremely low now, no idea if I can replace it, range is much much lower than when purchased. Connection is impossible when standing near my microwave when it's on. It was good for the first 2 months but with extended use near microwave it's just low tier now. Unfortunate to hear that HS70 is "competing with themselves" and not a replacement headset lineup, looks like I'm going to have to switch back to Logitech (after having the wired G633 headset cable break after 6 months, hopefully wireless is better)
NeonTheCoder rip to u x2. A rip to your headset and a rip to the paragraph that u wrote as no one will see it
@@DJBEANZzROADTO1K oof
I would have to disagree here with your analysis on the Void Pro. Again looks are purely subjective which is why headset reviews are pretty hard to do correctly, but I rather like the uniqueness and shape of the void pro. The new style seems more traditional for my tastes. I would also wonder how much the other pair squeezes your head. I have had a few different types of headsets and the void pro being looser makes to where I am not constantly adjusting them or moving them around for discomfort on my skin.
This was a really good review here. Love your content, and keep up the good work!
I bought the void pro about two weeks ago, and I do not regret it one bit
THE VOID WAS TOPPING MY LIST! IF IT WASN'T COMING UP TO XMAS ALREADY I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THEM!! GOOD STUFF THE HS70 IS NOW THE FRONT RUNNER DEF MUCH MORE COMFY AND WELL BUILT.
I have a two year old white Void Pro RGB that finally just died, but my mic looks different than this one...it might be an older revision. I completely agree with your review of it. Since I need a replacement, I think I'll give the HS70 a shot after seeing this. :)
I don’t remember where I watched a video also adding that regarding to sound, the less you add is better, more natural sound, and the 3D sound as the developer programmed to be. But in this situation looks like the same headset with different housing
You sold me on the HS70, I was seriously about to purchase the Void RGB! Thanks!
Jeremy R. F. Are the hs70 still a good headset after long use?
for the void the mic is always in your lower left eye so you'll always know if you're on or off the arm also bends semi nicely and they sit on your ears better I've found that the HS60/70 touches your ears more and may cause discomfort
Side note both mics are very quiet but very crisp and no background hiss.
I put the mic poof from my old void and put it on my HS60 it doesn't fit well but it works for those who might wanna do that
had the older 2000/2100 series. and wow it's really amazing, very good comfort and sound good.
Then when it broke down. I bought void. but does not feel so good at all.
The comfort of 2100/2000 was really great.
but can not be bought anymore
look at this to think of maybe buying the HS70 instead. but i think all stick with the void
Thx 4 this Showdown
HS70 ftw. Hell, even HS50
3 years later I just picked up an HS70 pro and absolutely love them. Also passed on the voids due to the aesthetics and comfort. They seem to have improved the mic quality since your review too.
same!
I have the Void pro wired.. and I agree.. it feels cheap and my goodness... the wire is the most tangling thing I have ever met.. every 12 hours you have to unplug it.. untangle the dang cord and then re-plug it back in again.. So yes I agree the Void Pro's feel cheap but I do agree the 50mm drivers do sound pretty good...but then again... most 50mm drivers do.
I have the Void and Void Pro. Hope to try the new one soon.
Beautiful camerawork! You've come a long way since I first subscribed :)
I appreciate it! Definitely a work in progress.
Np man, been subbed since the skylake i3 vs i5 days :)
I don't know why people say the void pro is bad because of it's swivel mic. Even the Astros have swivel mics. and people don't accuse the Astros .
I can't say I agree or disagree because I only have the Void Pro. Maybe the comfort thing is the shape of your head because the Void Pro fits me great. I kinda have a fat head though. It fit's snug and comfy for me. I never use the mic so it makes no difference to me. I really love the software so you can tune it to your liking depending on if your watching A movie, you tube or gaming. I would love to try out the HS70 but I am not going to buy one just to do it.
Alittle Looney why would you get a void pro if you never use the mic
My Corsair VOID Pro Gaming Headset, the yellow and black one, finally died this weekend. So, I'll investing into those new HS70's because they look modern and very similar to my Bose Quiet Comfort II's.
Honestly, I like the Void Pro better, because it looks cooler and now, it is a lot cheaper than the HS70. I also think the audio is better in stereo.
im looking for a better headset but if its on your head why does it mateer about looks
@@thespud1645 eh, i always care about looks
I have a void pro, they are good, except that they are not recognized in CUE, and have to be on around 10-25 volume or its way to loud. Its the second pair because I thought that they were defective, but it turns out they all are like this.
mine is recognized in CUE just fine
Mine doesn't have your issues lol I guess you do have a defective one which color is it? My one is the black edition I know the yellow ones have problems
Yeah that's opinion about comfort. Imo the Voids are the most comfy headset I've wore in years.
Yes. Void pro sounds good. Rest is like u say. I use beats studio a lot and corsair offers something else. Beats and corsair 2 different stories but both awesome experience
HS70 First pair was doa (couldn't charge) second pair is dying right now -> busted on/off button and loose membrane drivers on both sides even tho they were never abused!
I've owned the HS 60 for a few months now and they have been great and I recommend buying one also but, one thing. if your someone who puts there headphones down on their desk often and kinda hard I've noticed the plastic piece that indicates "Left" or "Right" starts cracking but thankfully lt doesn't look like a structural part and they're screwed in so they should stay even if cracked.
The HS70 kinda reminds me a the Turtle Beach X41s from back in the day. It was the first wireless headset I ever had and I have some great memories on my 360 with them. My PC setup is all black, but I kind of want to buy the white HS70 just for nostalgia sake since I'm looking for a wireless headset right now.
I bought the wired void pro for 50 so I don’t have any much complaints except for the loose clamping force. It’s good overall
I was expecting this video,great!
Prefer the HS70 , looks , fit , etc all the reasons you had mentioned in the vid . The HS70's remind me of my Sennheiser HD558 and HD598 SE's . Good video and thx again Greg !
The void pro is perfect for me because of my big ass ears ngl 😂
the HS70's look so much better. Like you said I wouldn't be embarrassed wearing those. I would be embarrassed wearing the void's. For perspective i have used the sennheiser game one (black) headset for nearly 3 years. Subtle, light, and sounds great. I would switch to these if the MIC was better.
The HS 70 is a nice headset but for me: It failed hard simply due to the amount of problems I had with the battery.
After 4 months the battery was dead, send it in for repair and still nothing. Out of warranty: I let it be checked and got the battery replaced, still nothing. The Battery is soldered in which is a HASSLE to repair on your own (unlike the Void, but I simply dislike the shape of the earmufs).
Finally: That new batterie is not recognised either, meaning something in addition to the original battery broke. I can still use it: just not as a wireless headset.
Great review .... Technical and thoroughly explained . I'll be buying the 70's !!! And subscribing
Very good review :)
i think the mic sound identical for both,, but void pro is a bit better
Yes, because it has the pop filter. put a pop filter on the HS70 and you will also get the same sound
I love how the void pro sounds and looks I think the Corsair void pro feels more expensive because I have one and it fits me better and the hs70 sqishes against my head too much
but you dont have both so why u lying
@@kingcharles5346 my friend has the other so there you go im not lying
Zach D nope i actually don’t even use the rub cuz it takes up way too much charge
I just use my Sennheiser HD 4.5's Little bit more expensive but they are much better all round and I can always buy a standalone mic to avoid using the handsfree quality one in the headset
I still have the VENGEANCE 1300. As I prefer plugs over USB.. As you can use the high end audio cards jacks. Which have very good DAC's on modern mother boards.. Just order some new ear pads when they wear out and they still look new.
So which one would you recommend for a good mic quality ? I've been looking to upgrade my G35 lately
I use an HS60 at work and Cloud 2s at home. I like the nongamer look of the HS60 but the Hyper X Cloud II is the best.
I have the Void Pros and I agree with just about everything you said except for the comfort part, I find the memory foam very comfortable myself albeit the fit on my head is a little loose.
I rock the Plantronics 995H-02. The mic is a little sensitive, but not as much as the Logitech h600 headset it replaced. The headset was a little heavy at first, but it's easy to get used to and it stays on well. The manual for the 995 says it has a 3-4hr battery life, but the H-02 variant can get closer to 6-8 in my experience. Good audio drivers, good mic quality.
I'm having some mic issues with my main pc right now, but I tried it on my laptop and it works just fine, so it must be a software compatibility problem with VoiceMeeter
I have the USB Voids(Non-pro) and the Wireless Void Pro, the USB Voids seem to actually have a better grip around my head, if you do find the Corsair Voids to be more appealing, go with the older generation!
Although I prefer the style of the Voids because the "gamer" aesthetic fits me better, plus I already have a set of headphones for wearing in public, I will admit the HS70s are really nice, you can't go wrong with either one!
I wanted to get a wireless headset for VR and I liked the USB Voids, so I got them, and I already have a decent mic
Hey SS I just returned a pair of VOID PRO RGB $79.99 and opted for the MassDrop Sennheiser PC37X $119.99 big price difference I know but I hope it’s worth it wish me luck guys
Thanks for this comparison I was very curious as to which one to get.
Dont know about the hate you're giving the Pro. I love mine. Either way, great review!
Was actually considering between both of these. Went for the hs70 just because it looks more normal.
If you live in a hot county chose the void pro because the leather in hs series will start deteriorating after a few months unless you play with a hoodie
Click analyze to begin
I bought the void pro surround (which I think is cheapest of the void line) and I don’t have a problem with them. But every one has their own opinions. But I do agree the mic is annoying and i who’s it was more flexible.
have two void pro's one wired one wireless, love them.
Dang I like that white Void headset! I just picked up the cheaper black(non rgb) wired set and it actually sounds pretty dang good. Walmart had it on clearance for 20$, so I had to try em out! Still not sure if I like them better than my 4-5 years old Sony Pulse Elite wireless headset. The only big upgrade is mic quality, everyone I game with has mentioned how much better this new one sounds.
right now theyre both the same price $79.99 which one should I get?
This video really helped me decide which of these headsets to buy. HS70s are are otw! Also, can anyone tell me about the chair used in this video maybe drop a link here. I built an all white gaming rig, got the white HS70s and that white chair would top it all of. Keep the great reviews coming.
Hows the haptic feedback on these? Or is that only the hs60 model?
I specifically like the void pro because of the more loose fit. I've had others that kinda clamp to my head and I can't stand it. I have a fairly large, space heater of a head so I like being able to slip them off quickly when having a heat stroke. still thumbs up for ya... also $65 for mine
i'm listening to this video wearing the void pro RGB (wired version because im too lazy to remember to charge the batteries). the only complaint i have about it is the sound quality isn't the best in the world and every so often the speakers start to make a lot of static static noise. but there pretty comfy to wear for a long duration.
Edit: the void pro RGB is a giant fingerprint magnet.
I had to make some custom eq profiles to get my bearable. Ironically the $40 Logitech 7.1 headphones had better surround overall.
Yes it's pretty comfy, he was saying the void pro is a little loose but I think thats actually a benefit as I find headsets really annoying sometimes
@@Vriess123 i have a larger head (a new L/XL 39Thirty hat is tight at first) I love the fit of my Void Pro except the memory foam band could be a bit wider. And custom EQ is a must. But I'm happy with it I've only used cheap $20 Amazon headset and VoIP Jabra & Sennheiser mono sets before. The amazon one had bad crossover with a muted mic so I figured Id get a set with its own usb DAC.
I just picked up the Corsair HS70 SE today, if you're still having issues With static (something I did right out of the box) I forced the firmware to update (it said I already had the most recent version) because of loud static sounds all the time, it fixed the problem immediately. Sorry for the nekro.
I had the same problem with the static until I realized it was the ambient buzz from my sidetone. Next time you hear it, mute the mic and it should go away.
WARNING! The HS70 headphones do not last. I had mine for a total of 1.5 years and they will not charge anymore. The fake leather will peel away, the earpads will fall off on their own anyways so you have to get new ones, and the cheap plastic swivel piece snapped in half. All of that happened at the one year mark. 6 months later they do not recharge. I tried different cables in different ports and no-dice. Maybe buying a new battery would make them work again but I am not gonna waste my time any longer trying to salvage corsair's junk just so something else can break a weak later. These suck, and so does the software. Not buying anymore Corsair products.
@Korvus Or don't buy from corsair
I got the Void RGB PRO and I regret buying it. It has a good sound and mic quality but it is too loose. Planning to buy the HS70 or the Steelseries Arctis 5.
Thanks for the video. I've been looking for a replacement for my long-serving Logitech g930s and was thinking of going with the Arctis 7 Wireless (as lovely as I'm sure the Arctis Pro's 40kz frequency response is, it's hard to justify £300) but the HS70 definitely seems hard to beat at that value-wireless price point.
buying these rn (HS70), exactly what I have been waiting for it seems... only thing I wish is a better mic (I'd pay good for that)
Can you use the detachable mic slot and add your own? If not you could just disconnect the mic on the headset and use an external one connected to your PC.
how is the latency tho? notice a difference from a wired headset? i have never had a wirless headset and i am worried about the latency.
same. how did it turn out
@@zakh1579 The latency was unnoticeable, battery lasts very long, but the sound quality was pretty awfull, to visualise the sound quality, imagine an image, sharpen it so that its way over sharpened and then blur the image, thats what the headphones sound like, over sharpened muffled high end noise, so i instantly returned it and bought 2 headphones to try instead.
I bought the DT 770 PRO (80 ohm version) headset but personally i wouldn't recomend getting that if your not comfortable setting up a EQ for the headset or if you are sensitive to tight headphone ( it gets looser over time) another verry good and convenient option is Audio-Technica ATH-M40x, its main downside is its not the most comfortable.
if you are comfortable with doing an EQ www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/8q4wbg/those_who_use_the_dt770_80_ohm_which_eq_settings/
the dt 770 has better sound quality IMO it needs to have an eq to make it sound nice , not very portable or easy to drive, m40x not as great sound quality but still very good, very portable and easy to drive on devices.
@@zakh1579 but if you want something that you want to be taking outside or using on a phone or something the dt 770 pro is no good.
@@starcultiniser damn thanks for the great reply
@@zakh1579 np, i hope you manage to get a pair of headphones that you like.
I'm looking for a headset that is more focused on mic quality that doesn't cost over a hundred dollars -- or at least where the mic and headphone quality are more balanced. Could you recommend a headset in the 70-100 dollar range that has a better microphone and still has decent headphones?
Blue Snowball and HS50s?
Cool I have the wired version of the HS and I love it!
How about a comparison between the Corsair HS50 and HyperX Stinger? Both around the same price point. Curious to see if there's really much difference.
HS70 earpads look like they would be better since they lock out the exterior sounds better so you can actually hear whats going on in the game instead of in your house or outside . I have Void USB headset that is wired and pretty much exact same as the Void Pro .
I had the void pro for exactly a year until it broke to no fault but my own (late for work didn't have time to put my deoderant back nicely so I threw it like a caveman throwing a spear at a woolly mammoth cracking my monitor and breaking the ear cup off the frame). I remember while I was standing I looked up and the headset just slipped off my head onto the tile, and the feature were you move the microphone up to mute it no longer worked. I also had a problem with the microphone picking up every singe gust of air on the planet. But besides that the headset was awesome and definitely not a bad choice. 8/10
I had the Void Pros and they were good for the money, but not excellent. Bad UI and EQ options. Go with a wired Sennheiser Game Zero for about $160 on Amazon. Excellent mic and surround sound.
LOL you pretty much summed up the video in the first few lines.
But the breathing problem was significantly reduced on the void pro. Could that be due to the lack of a windscreen on the HS70?
hs60 is 30$, basically the hs70 but wired. I really want wireless though. Also, if you need a mic to pair with the hs70 but dont got alot of money, get the fifine k669. it sounds super clear for 30$
I had the original voids, I loved them to death but I would agree they are a loose fit.
Wow not sure if it's your specific white one, cause my void pro the black edition has no filter etc and I can lower my mic so that it also misses my breathing. on top of that the memory foam is much more firmer on my one and have no issues with it falling off etc, maybe I got lucky or maybe you got bad batch or maybe simple wear and tear. I've had my one now for almost a year don't remember exactly when I bought my one and I bought it from my work place so got a super nice discount. In terms of sound I do agree it's really good, mic as with all wireless headsets it tends to be worse then wired ones but like I mentioned previously if maybe you had a better quality one your opinion would have been different. I just thought I'd share my experience with my void pro.
Honestly i bought the hs70's over the void pro because of this video and i can't use them at all. They are the least comfortable headset that i have ever used. My brother has the void pro so i wanted to get something different. So that's why i decided to get the h70's. Inside where your ear goes on the h70's there is a solid notch idk what for, but if you have big ears it is the most irritating thing. The void pros don't have that notch in them making them way more comfortable. I'm not to sure if you have to wear them a certain way or something,but it shouldn't be like that for a headset. About to return the hs70's complete garbage imo
