Hearing all those complaints about the battery charge and having to turn it off ... am I the only person who DOESN'T expect my wireless headset to last forever and think it's NORMAL to turn something off when I'm done using it? None of this stuff has ever bothered me.
Thank you. I swear to god it's dumb. First off the lights are silly anyway and if you're alone you can't even see them so just turn them off and then the one I have lasts at least half a day on a full charge. When the fuck are you going to need more then twelve hours continuously and I fail to see how taking 5 seconds to plug it in when I'm finished using it is any sort of drawback at all.
Since the manual fails to give complete instructions I will. Hope it helps someone. (Make sure software is downloaded first, before you follow these instructions) 1.) Plug the headset and charging cable both into the pc or wall outlet so power is reaching it. 2.) Plug the usb dongle into either the PC/Wall, or into the usb stand, (the usb stand only comes with the SE version of the headset, and is not necessary for use). 3.) FIRST insert a paperclip into the small opening of the USB dongle for 5 seconds untill it flashes. Once flashing begins you can let go of paperclip. 4.) Then you hold the power button on the headset for about roughly 5 seconds untill it begins flashing too, to signal its also in pairing mode. 5.) After the headset starts its flashing about 1 second later, the USB dongle will stop flashing, and that means its connected. Thats it. Sidenote. If your having issues. Make sure your headset is not dead. You can always try turning the headset off, then back on, then try re- pairing them. Also make sure your sound setting on your pc has headset selected. Otherwise you may not hear sound out of them. Also make sure the proper software is on your pc. Windows 10 should recognize the headset as Corsair Void, if you dont see that, make sure you have corsair software downloaded.
Just got mine Monday and it’s great, it sounds good, it’s wireless, the mic sounds better than any of the other gaming headsets I’ve had, my only issue Is the terrible icue software , the software itself isn’t bad but the issues it causes with my pc wasn’t worth it. I couldn’t launch my web browser or some of my other programs and the headsets wouldn’t play any sound after the software was installed. After uninstalling I cue fixed all my issues. I usually get around 12 hours of battery charge which works well for me. Also they are insanely comfortable even during long play sessions, so I would recommend buying them but I’d say skip the icue software until they update it and fix the issue.
I just watched this while my headset is charging. Im actually not scared or upset with my purchase even though I havent even tried them. If I see a comment asking I'll give my opinion then, but thank you for the awesome review and tips. Great video compiling skills. Less of a "look at whats in the box" video and more of a "Let me be honest and give my tips and tricks" video.
One of the best first comment I've ever seen for a while But no thanks, I can have a strong PC with needed peripherals + PS4 Pro/Xbox One X with that kind of money
Yeah that is true, and then again the Sennheiser 800 series is the type of headphones a person that works with sound for a living would get, since it doesnt come with a microphone and people around you might hear the foul language of CS:GO players. Man these DACS nowadays cost so much, the proprietary HDVD 800 costs a whooping 2200€ and the Benchmark DAC3 HGC is the same price. But i suppose if you are a movie aficionado and you watch Netflix all day, these headphones paired with an LG OLED tv will make you live the dream xD, if you got a minimum of 5000€/$ ready that is hehe.
Awesome review man. This actually came in handy because I'm in need of an upgrade for my gaming headphones. Now it's safe to say that I'll scratch Corsair Void Pro off my wish list lol
I seen two other youtubers review the void pro, namely pc centric and joker productions. They seem to have gotten versions of the void pro which have much better mic quality compared to the one you review in this video. Although, they may have a void pro at a different price point. Excellent video as always Dmitry, keep up the good work.
This video has actually made me doubt the veracity of HardwareCanucks reviews. I have been through a Sennheiser Game Zero and Game One, using both their own GSX1000 mixamp and an standalone Objective2 DAC, the sound quality and microphone pickup on these models is absolute rubbish. The microphone and speaker quality on the Corsair Void RGB wireless which I replaced those with is actually superior in comparison, which I found very surprising compared to other analogue / DAC-driven headsets. Although using the RGB definitely does accelerate the battery drain, I have never had the battery lose 30% in an hour and I leave the RGB on solid white, maybe it's possible you have a bad pair. "Somehow the headset was still pulling power" > because you didn't turn it off. Of course it's going to keep pinging, looking for a signal from the dongle Put your mobile phone in a Faraday cage and watch how quickly its battery gets sucked dry in standby as it tries to find a signal, the headset is no different.
corsair expects you to have a sound card to process sound accurately, which is where the neodynium drivers can pick up from as they can compute the 7.1 audio from the sound card to the speakers. if you don't then the CUE will do the best it can to emulate surround sound. true 7.1 is where you have several speakers, but 7.1 drivers are still 7.1 none the less (but it sounds true with a sound card).
Yeah, I don't get why they just didn't swap the power on button with mute button instead of adding in another button compared to the wired version. Redundancy probably 😂
Jarr after using the PS4 gold for two years then this, i one hundred percent rate the corsair one better. The PS4 headset is absolute shit quality and mine died because it literally snapped at the ear when I pulled it off my head a few months ago.
huh, idk if its this video, or hardware canucks got sent a shitty version, or they messed with it intentionally. my friend normally uses these for our rainbow six siege plays, the mic sounds x1000000 better than what they sound in this video, i guess time to reconsider other reviews where mics were shit as well.| EDIT: the only other thing i can think of is Discord making them sound better but is that really a thing? if not the only other options are those 3 above because shes been using them outta the box since day one
SpikeImperial I have this headset and my friends have said that the sound from the mic is very good so idk man, all the reviews make it sound like shit tho lmao
Infinitro Why are you even replying to something from 10 months ago when you put that.... Now to think of it why am I replying to a one month old comment.
Thanks for this. I was one click away from buying these as on paper, it looked like an amazing wireless deal. But the cons far outweigh the pros so guess wired headphones remains top.
The battery life is fine if you only use it at night when you don't want to keep the neighbours awake, at day i use my 5.1 speaker system anyway and my VOID usually lasts me multiple nights, i also have the RGB active, just static blue, maybe blinky rainbow puke needs more power? But i have the audio level at 20% which is more than enough for most things. ...except for when i need to hear footsteps in PUBG then i go for 100% (i hate that game for that). I had no idea that the microphone was THAT bad though (and they replace it and it is STILL this bad? is there any point in getting the PRO over the normal one now?). Good thing i never talk to people online anyway, would actually like it if you could disconnect the pointless microphone completely... slightly annoying when i use it on my Oculus Rift to have the microphone arm dangling around there as well. PS: it is cute that you can shake it off your head and make it look bad in the video, but realistically you don't throw your head around like that, not even in VR. ...and for VR the wireless part is exponentially more important and they do sound quite a bit better than the default rift headphones and the Vive doesn't have any.
If you game for more than 6 hours, you have a problem ...you should just get used to charge them after use, it would be cool if someone made some like this that could be charged thru a holding support. Like having the connection on the middle of the headband.
Since you're comparing with wired headsets, I have to bring up the Hyperx Cloud II. They're amazing and the microphone, if using the USB sound card it comes with, is incredible.
Obligatory: Just get a really good pair of audiophile grade headphones and an amp. You'd be amazed at how much better it sounds. Case in point, the SHP9500 headphones. You don't even need an amp for them and they cost half as much as this. Get a VModa modmic or even a Blue Snowball/Snowflake for your mic and you are under or around the same cost with better sound and a better mic!
I totally agree with you But does it say gaming on the description? Probably the most deciding factor when buying gaming gear or any computer hardware.
Yea I get it, marketing and advertising are powerful tools. I just hope that people start to realize that a lot of these "gaming" pieces of hardware aren't great. I realize that probably won't be the case though.
Mormodes nah i rather want companies like razer and corsair to focus on quality and not aesthetics especially on the audio department. But i guess that would also not be the case
very bias view. i haven't experienced a single issue with battery life, microphone sounds great comes in clear. sound quality is great. i just feel like you were expecting too much and you already have a preferred headset and this one didn't live up to your expectations.
veng my axe I don’t get how this is bias lmao. Even though you explained why you think it’s biased, it isn’t. Instead you should’ve said that he had a certain standard and that he was expecting too much.
the mic is great, i have the head set my self and i have tested it multiple times and it does NOT sound like it sounds on his video. battery life im getting 4-5 days out of it with 8hours play time each.
Wait, what? People, do you have the slightest idea about high quality headphones and audio quality, or are you just trolling? The Senns are probably the best headsets available (followed closely by the HyperX Cloud), ages ahead of corsair and Razer headsets. And even then, they hardly compete with any entry level HiFi headphone.
Hey Dimitri, great review as ever. I first discovered this channel when you reviewed the original VOID headset. I'm still using my original VOID's and I'm happy with them so I won't be upgrading.
I'm still really amazed by the Logitech G35 and Logitech G930. The sound is very very good. Believe it or not, I broke 4 different pairs of G35 and one pair of G930 and Logitech always agreed to replace my broken product. They even provided the delivery. I was planning to get these Void to give a try but I need them especially to play on the HTC Vive and as we move a lot when playing this (like Onward), I'm afraid to drop them. I'm also very disappointing by the mic and this blinking light is such a shenanigan.. Thanks for your honest review.
I watched the video and just after that I read the full title and all I have to say is: Don't sugarcoat it Dmitry, we know it's garbage. Just the fact that it's wireless doesn't make it good.
I just bought this headset and for $99, it's a lot better than the Razer Man O War with a headband top piece that broke, not once, but twice. So I am done with Razer headsets. The Void's adjustability is awesome and it's perfect for bigger heads. The plug/power issue is a con and the EQ presets suck but once you figure out how to dial the EQ in to your preferences, it's better than the Razer. The wireless range is also better than the Man O War. I will buy the next version if they improve the Void further. I would use a wired set but I have egronomic elbow rests to prevent Carpal Tunnel and the cable gets caught up in it every time.
I watch this vid, and compared it with another headset review. On a cheap phone with $1 ear bud. And i can tell you absolutely they all sound the same.
So would the corsair void (not pro) or the Logitech g930 be better? I have heard mixed reviews for both. I want a one package, wireless deal, not get headphones and a Mic.
Rev_dude In theory, the G930's (or g933) may be better in audio quality as it allows for more types of surround 7.1 audio options. However, and I'm saying this from multiple personal experiences, the logitech headsets have a bunch of bugs. The mic is bad with loud background noises, the audio has static when it's turned up, it disconnects randomly, the surround sounds robotic at times. The fully functional safe card is the VOID.
both has pros and cons one (open back) - pros: - bigger sound stage (sounds better) - your ear wont get too hot and sweaty cons: - sound leak - is not suitable for noisy environment zero (closed back) - pros: - very good isolation - good for noisy environment - fold-able (for travel) cons: - smaller sound stage - ear tends to get hot and sweaty - you cant hear yourself when talking
Shp9500 with Vmoda mic for $110 dollars for open back Cb-1 with vmoda mic for $110 for closed back. You won't regret it A pair of headphones and mic isn't as complex to put together as you think, and I guarantee you will get better sound/mic quality than any "gaming" headset
In my experience, the microphone stem is very fragile. (I have the normal VOID wireless, but I'm pretty sure it's the same with this one.) Just a slight accidental bump in the wrong direction might cause the base where it rotates to completely come off, which happened to me. If you want to get this headset you have to be very careful with the mic, or you could pick up another headset.
Guys they suck. They're very comfortable but the sound sucks and they sag on my head I've got a big head btw and they're as short as I could make them.
The SteelSeries Siberia V2 is an amazing headset. It has survived so far, 5 years of drops, twisted cables, attempts to stretch the shit out of it so that it's not so tight on my head, the mic is great, etc. See that's the problem with the Siberia, it feels like you're wearing a vice grip. Otherwise it would be an excellent headset. So I need something else (that's why I'm watching this). The question about this set... MicroUSB connection? That must be a real hassle to keep attached (if you desire it to be)? Edit: Nevermind, you answered that question (only for charging).
Don't buy a "gaming" headset. Get a solid pair of headphones like Sennheiser, Audio Technica, HIFIMAN or Beyerdynamic. Then simply add a Antlion Modmic. Boom you know have any amazing pair of headphones for gaming that blows all the "gaming" headphones out of the fucking water. Trust me, I learned this the hard way. Don't make my mistake guys!
I've heard the cloud revolvers aren't too shabby. I used to have a pair of HyperX Cloud Stingers and they were great for what I paid. HyperX(Kingston) in general are one of the best "gaming" brands. I've heard the Cloud II are excellent also. So don't sweat the revolvers man!
Nice. I've heard good things about the HD 598s. I really like my DT 770s for when I want to block out sound and have a bit more bass or when I am traveling for work. The ATH 700s are great for gaming and more treble/mid strong music. The 700s are open back so they aren't good for taking out in public or when my girlfriend is in the same room though. Just something to keep in mind if you have roommates/GF or wife.
Don't get me wrong the DT 770s are excellent for home use too. But the 598s are fantastic too. I'd just look into whether you want open or closed back headphones and go from there.
I love my Corsair K95 Platinum Keyboard and my Corsair Dark Core RGB SE Wireless Mouse but with all the faults, it looks like I'll have to wait till the next gen to add a Corsair Wireless headset to the mix. That's how Corsair is tho, they always improve with each generation
It is great, battery life is decent around 4-5 hours, It gives you a couple of noticeable beeps when its beginning to lose its charge. Great Corsair app that you're able to download also, turn rbg lighting off, adjust volumes ect. Only thing I dont like is how big and bulky it can be, it almost feels like it weighs down my head, but honestly nothing to really complain about. Hope it helps.
Tergand Frostfire the Plantronics gamecom 780/788 is a ~50€ headset with one of the best mics I've heard yet. I really can't trust Dmitry on anything about sound quality when he wants to tell people that the game one mic sounds "very rich and detailed in the vocals".
Toreno13 My astro a40 has a very good mic quality aswell, quality is awesome. Just swapped the original earpad with those from my old SoundBlaster H5 Probably the best headset I've ever owned
Do you have a game one? You've probably never put one on...if tried just about every headset in this discussion...the game one is the best by a long shot
Best headset for both music and gaming: Plantronics RIG 800LX Well, I tried many headphones (gaming and non-gaming -- the non-gaming ones were the Sony MDR-7506 and Sennheiser HD 8 DJ headphones). I'm returning them all and keeping Plantronics' 800LX which basically wins in comfort and sound clarity (regarding the lows, mids, and highs). I played a good quality vocal trance song and played Battlefield 1 with all the headphones I'm going to mention and it won. Best Comfort: Turtlebeach, Steelseries, and Plantronics were the 3 most comfortable headphones I've tried out of them all. The Hyperx Cloud II headphones were very painful to wear and I'd never recommend them to anyone (although I totally understand that not everyone will have this problem they are the only headphones that gave me this problem). Comparisons Corsair Void Pro RGB - Bass, mid, and high sounds not as clear as the Plantronics 800LX. Comfortable to wear. Astro A40 - Not as comfortable as the Plantronics 800LX and a pain in the ass to figure out how to plug it in. Old TH-cam videos that could help me figure it out are showing parts that the box doesn't even include. ***Plantronics 800LX - clearer sounding than the Arctis 7. Very comfortable. Best one out of them all. Sennheiser HD 8 DJ - Sound quality not as clear / good as the Arctis 7. Volume too low. Steelseries Arctis 7 - The bass is too muddy compared to the other headphones. I can tell that its bass isn't as clear as the others and when you turn it up the loudness is too loud and causes pain. Hyperx Cloud II headphones - Ears immediately started hurting after I put these on and as the pain kept increasing they also became very hot. Caused a gradual and overwhelming headache, as well. Good quality sound but way too painful to bother trying to break in.
Just picked this up - went from a G930 that began to fall apart in the first month, to a Void Pro... Immediately the Metal arms are a god send. I was wondering what your opinion would be on the ST100 Headset stand, Worth it for this headset, or should I not?
the only reason the battery life is terrible for some people is because they didnt read the manual. you are supposed to charge it FULLY before using the first time.
10:08 But if you have buds/teammates who are having issues hearing you, then wireless should not be a thing you should be looking to buy if the wired version has a better mic.
If you haven't tried this headset on, I would suggest you to do so before buying them. For me, they have a very loose fit. Way too loose to be comfortable, especially as a wireless headset, as you expect to be moving around a bit.

@@whytry4682 well fuck i just saved me some money. almost pulled the trigger lmao
@@sf415city Same
@@whytry4682 that's probably because you've let it die or overcharge and thus negatively impacted the health of the battery in your headset.

The microphone quality is still very bad :/
It's awful
Pretty much every "gaming headset" out there :/...There are probably some exceptions though but most have shit mics on them tbh.
I have the Corsair void surround and the mic sounds much better than this
wired has decent sound
ya my kraken 7.1 v2 mic is way better than this lol.
During the audio test I closed my eyes and imagined I was on a plane😂😂great video BTW
why all gaming headphones sounds like old nokia
Nogardtist cuz if you need to tell your team for example on which bomb the enemies are, they wont really care about your quality
Logitech G430's have the best mic I've experienced. Which is making finding a new headset really hard.

I totally agree with you But does it say gaming on the description? Probably the most deciding factor when buying gaming gear or any computer hardware.
Yea I get it, marketing and advertising are powerful tools. I just hope that people start to realize that a lot of these "gaming" pieces of hardware aren't great. I realize that probably won't be the case though.
But how am I supposed to watch porn wearing an SHP9500 without being busted?
Mormodes nah i rather want companies like razer and corsair to focus on quality and not aesthetics especially on the audio department. But i guess that would also not be the case
Get a closed pair like the Sennheiser 558s or the 598cs? :P
love buying a void the week before the void pro comes out.
Headsets don't really need RGB...because what's the point?
If you want to turn your 2 channel headphones into 7.1, razer surround software is free btw. Works pretty well.
very bias view. i haven't experienced a single issue with battery life, microphone sounds great comes in clear. sound quality is great. i just feel like you were expecting too much and you already have a preferred headset and this one didn't live up to your expectations.
im not sure where he got those problems from tbh, but i wouldnt call my mic on my regular void 'clear' by any stretch.
veng my axe I don’t get how this is bias lmao. Even though you explained why you think it’s biased, it isn’t. Instead you should’ve said that he had a certain standard and that he was expecting too much.
The mic tops out at 10kHz... that's not a bias, it's fact that the mic is not that great. As for the battery life, I can't say.
the mic is great, i have the head set my self and i have tested it multiple times and it does NOT sound like it sounds on his video. battery life im getting 4-5 days out of it with 8hours play time each.
vid or fake
You can increase the mic quality by changing the mic settings in sounds and turning it to dvd setting
Can I get proof, I might buy it.
Is Sennheiser Game One a good choice? I am going to buy it ;)
FidgetShaker Corsair void pro is a better choice
FidgetShaker yes it is. great sound quality with a great mic
Lol, are you seriously recomanding this headset over the Sennheiser game one? LOL
Typical Noob No it isn't great at being overpriced
Wait, what? People, do you have the slightest idea about high quality headphones and audio quality, or are you just trolling?
The Senns are probably the best headsets available (followed closely by the HyperX Cloud), ages ahead of corsair and Razer headsets. And even then, they hardly compete with any entry level HiFi headphone.
The original microphone IS adjustable. You can just bend it like you can bend the pro. I don't know why everyone keeps saying this in reviews.
still waiting for your Logitech G231 Prodigy review.. you said you'd review it:((
Hey Dimitri, great review as ever. I first discovered this channel when you reviewed the original VOID headset. I'm still using my original VOID's and I'm happy with them so I won't be upgrading.
Wow, the mic sounds AWFUL.
No.
It doesn’t in real life
It’s not really that bad. My friends say it sounds crystal clear
I'm still really amazed by the Logitech G35 and Logitech G930. The sound is very very good. Believe it or not, I broke 4 different pairs of G35 and one pair of G930 and Logitech always agreed to replace my broken product. They even provided the delivery. I was planning to get these Void to give a try but I need them especially to play on the HTC Vive and as we move a lot when playing this (like Onward), I'm afraid to drop them. I'm also very disappointing by the mic and this blinking light is such a shenanigan.. Thanks for your honest review.
I watched the video and just after that I read the full title and all I have to say is:
Don't sugarcoat it Dmitry, we know it's garbage. Just the fact that it's wireless doesn't make it good.
Bro, Bose QC35 is life and it's wireless !! 😍
I don't really know why but I like the mic quality on the void pro
But you can cut the wires in other 99 dollar price point headsets!
DaddyPanda I hope that's a joke.
It obviously is
This headset is really good i bought the usb one and the mic is so clear.
No, it's not.
When the mic is clearly terrible but they are discord certified *face palm*
I just bought this headset and for $99, it's a lot better than the Razer Man O War with a headband top piece that broke, not once, but twice. So I am done with Razer headsets. The Void's adjustability is awesome and it's perfect for bigger heads. The plug/power issue is a con and the EQ presets suck but once you figure out how to dial the EQ in to your preferences, it's better than the Razer. The wireless range is also better than the Man O War. I will buy the next version if they improve the Void further. I would use a wired set but I have egronomic elbow rests to prevent Carpal Tunnel and the cable gets caught up in it every time.
I watch this vid, and compared it with another headset review. On a cheap phone with $1 ear bud. And i can tell you absolutely they all sound the same.
In every headset review, the Sennheiser Game One wipes the floor with its competition because the microphone is actually good.
So would the corsair void (not pro) or the Logitech g930 be better? I have heard mixed reviews for both. I want a one package, wireless deal, not get headphones and a Mic.
Rev_dude g930
Rev_dude Mic sounds better
Rev_dude In theory, the G930's (or g933) may be better in audio quality as it allows for more types of surround 7.1 audio options. However, and I'm saying this from multiple personal experiences, the logitech headsets have a bunch of bugs. The mic is bad with loud background noises, the audio has static when it's turned up, it disconnects randomly, the surround sounds robotic at times. The fully functional safe card is the VOID.
I own a Corsair Void wireless headset myself, and I'm very impressed.
my old g930 just broke up after exact 2 years...
Hi.. I hope you can make a dedicated tutorial to understand what is surround, digital, analog, and USB.. and its practical applications..
Sennys GAME One or Zero? I have no interest in ModMic BTW
Hm. From what I know, the G4me Zer0 has a better sound isolation than the G4me One
One
both has pros and cons
one (open back) -
pros:
- bigger sound stage (sounds better)
- your ear wont get too hot and sweaty
cons:
- sound leak
- is not suitable for noisy environment
zero (closed back) -
pros:
- very good isolation
- good for noisy environment
- fold-able (for travel)
cons:
- smaller sound stage
- ear tends to get hot and sweaty
- you cant hear yourself when talking
>Wants to spend $150 on headset
>Doesn't want to use ModMic with a good pair of headphones
Shp9500 with Vmoda mic for $110 dollars for open back
Cb-1 with vmoda mic for $110 for closed back. You won't regret it
A pair of headphones and mic isn't as complex to put together as you think, and I guarantee you will get better sound/mic quality than any "gaming" headset
In my experience, the microphone stem is very fragile. (I have the normal VOID wireless, but I'm pretty sure it's the same with this one.) Just a slight accidental bump in the wrong direction might cause the base where it rotates to completely come off, which happened to me. If you want to get this headset you have to be very careful with the mic, or you could pick up another headset.
Guys they suck. They're very comfortable but the sound sucks and they sag on my head I've got a big head btw and they're as short as I could make them.
an afro will solve all your problemos
ItsYa165 BAHAHAHAHAHA
Also the usb connector is easily broken if you have your computer on the floor
no, you're just bad
i had a normal void for 2 years never Had Problems with IT
-good sound if you set the right eq setting
-Most comfy Headset ever
-Bad Mic
The SteelSeries Siberia V2 is an amazing headset. It has survived so far, 5 years of drops, twisted cables, attempts to stretch the shit out of it so that it's not so tight on my head, the mic is great, etc. See that's the problem with the Siberia, it feels like you're wearing a vice grip. Otherwise it would be an excellent headset. So I need something else (that's why I'm watching this). The question about this set... MicroUSB connection? That must be a real hassle to keep attached (if you desire it to be)? Edit: Nevermind, you answered that question (only for charging).
Don't buy a "gaming" headset. Get a solid pair of headphones like Sennheiser, Audio Technica, HIFIMAN or Beyerdynamic. Then simply add a Antlion Modmic. Boom you know have any amazing pair of headphones for gaming that blows all the "gaming" headphones out of the fucking water. Trust me, I learned this the hard way. Don't make my mistake guys!
Greg Winger what's a antilon modmic?
Geeforcex it's a mic that can be attached to any set of headphones. Give it a google. Super cool and useful. I use mine with DT 770s and ATH 700xs
I've heard the cloud revolvers aren't too shabby. I used to have a pair of HyperX Cloud Stingers and they were great for what I paid. HyperX(Kingston) in general are one of the best "gaming" brands. I've heard the Cloud II are excellent also. So don't sweat the revolvers man!
Nice. I've heard good things about the HD 598s. I really like my DT 770s for when I want to block out sound and have a bit more bass or when I am traveling for work. The ATH 700s are great for gaming and more treble/mid strong music. The 700s are open back so they aren't good for taking out in public or when my girlfriend is in the same room though. Just something to keep in mind if you have roommates/GF or wife.
Don't get me wrong the DT 770s are excellent for home use too. But the 598s are fantastic too. I'd just look into whether you want open or closed back headphones and go from there.
I love my Corsair K95 Platinum Keyboard and my Corsair Dark Core RGB SE Wireless Mouse but with all the faults, it looks like I'll have to wait till the next gen to add a Corsair Wireless headset to the mix. That's how Corsair is tho, they always improve with each generation
Have you ever been trolled?

You fucked it up dude. You need one more empty rows.
Xd sorry
Too late.
+Tibor Klein lol
sorry im Swedish so it says ''Läs Mer'' and ''Visa Mindre'' instead
Just picked this up last night, hope Im not going to regret it, I have currently have a Kraken pro usb.. lets hope its good!
Cameron Mueller yo hi me too i wanna get the void pro wireless cause i hate the razer kraken cable its trash should i get them?
It is great, battery life is decent around 4-5 hours, It gives you a couple of noticeable beeps when its beginning to lose its charge. Great Corsair app that you're able to download also, turn rbg lighting off, adjust volumes ect. Only thing I dont like is how big and bulky it can be, it almost feels like it weighs down my head, but honestly nothing to really complain about. Hope it helps.
What do you mean the microphone is "okay". It's absolutely dreadful. The people that designed this should be put down.
Did you watch the whole video? He said "okay" initially but "pretty bad" later in the video.
Your video and analysis is so good, thank you man!
"sennheiser game one has the best mic on a gaming headset" you're kidding, right?
Toreno13 and which other headset has a better mic in your opinion?
Tergand Frostfire the Plantronics gamecom 780/788 is a ~50€ headset with one of the best mics I've heard yet. I really can't trust Dmitry on anything about sound quality when he wants to tell people that the game one mic sounds "very rich and detailed in the vocals".
Toreno13 My astro a40 has a very good mic quality aswell, quality is awesome. Just swapped the original earpad with those from my old SoundBlaster H5
Probably the best headset I've ever owned
Do you have a game one? You've probably never put one on...if tried just about every headset in this discussion...the game one is the best by a long shot
Frankenstein2727 I don't have to put on the headset to know that its mic quality sucks...
Planning to buy these... Should I buy it?
Best headset for both music and gaming: Plantronics RIG 800LX
Well, I tried many headphones (gaming and non-gaming -- the non-gaming ones were the Sony MDR-7506 and Sennheiser HD 8 DJ headphones). I'm returning them all and keeping Plantronics' 800LX which basically wins in comfort and sound clarity (regarding the lows, mids, and highs). I played a good quality vocal trance song and played Battlefield 1 with all the headphones I'm going to mention and it won.
Best Comfort: Turtlebeach, Steelseries, and Plantronics were the 3 most comfortable headphones I've tried out of them all. The Hyperx Cloud II headphones were very painful to wear and I'd never recommend them to anyone (although I totally understand that not everyone will have this problem they are the only headphones that gave me this problem).
Comparisons
Corsair Void Pro RGB - Bass, mid, and high sounds not as clear as the Plantronics 800LX. Comfortable to wear.
Astro A40 - Not as comfortable as the Plantronics 800LX and a pain in the ass to figure out how to plug it in. Old TH-cam videos that could help me figure it out are showing parts that the box doesn't even include.
***Plantronics 800LX - clearer sounding than the Arctis 7. Very comfortable. Best one out of them all.
Sennheiser HD 8 DJ - Sound quality not as clear / good as the Arctis 7.
Volume too low.
Steelseries Arctis 7 - The bass is too muddy compared to the other headphones. I can tell that its bass isn't as clear as the others and when you turn it up the loudness is too loud and causes pain.
Hyperx Cloud II headphones - Ears immediately started hurting after I put these on and as the pain kept increasing they also became very hot. Caused a gradual and overwhelming headache, as well. Good quality sound but way too painful to bother trying to break in.
I was having the same issue with the astro a10s. Hurt the shit out of my head and the audio quality was too clouded by base to sound clear and nice
what about hyper x stinger i want to buy a new headphone for pubg so i can here where people are in the game but everything else here is expensive
@@networkcor3 Good question, I never tried that one. I'd check the return policy to make sure you can return them if you don't like them.
I bought it after I watched this vid I always wanted a wireless headset
Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum ftw. Best headset I've ever spent money on.
is it really way better than this?
Just got a set of these cans. Love them. Great quality and value for $79.99 on sale.
I was waiting for this review
Headphone Video Suggestion: Razer Kraken Pro V2. I actually own a pair myself and I believe they sound great! I would love a second opinion.
Why would you worry about the mic? Sound is amazing while playing.
1:30 you should have said "hey everyone, this is the pilot speaking"
Very good video, which wireless headset do you recommend/prefer ?
Nice mic comparisons! Thank you so much :D
This thumbnail is awesome
steelseries h/800 still the wireless king! Nothing came close yet in beating it.
Just picked this up - went from a G930 that began to fall apart in the first month, to a Void Pro... Immediately the Metal arms are a god send. I was wondering what your opinion would be on the ST100 Headset stand, Worth it for this headset, or should I not?
i got it just because im rgb and wireless everything. so it just looks neat to sit it there but totally not necessary lol.
I really think about buying the wired version !
Can you do a update review of the Vertagear Triigger? See how it's holding up after a few months of use
Seems like a pretty wierd face lift for the Void line up, with such small "improvements". Are they including a pop filter now with the Pro versions?
Still better than cables getting tangled to the point of breaking
Great channel, amazing reviews!! Gratz
very good review mate, thanks!
Only issue I have is that the microphone isn’t retractable which is kind of a deal breaker imo, still a great headset tho, even in 2021
It's great that they hired Gabriel Iglesias for the voice prompts. Nice that he has found a place in gaming/tech.
Good review. I will keep searching for a decent pair.
Great Review!
Now I don't feel bad in owning the Special Edition variant :)
the only reason the battery life is terrible for some people is because they didnt read the manual. you are supposed to charge it FULLY before using the first time.
i bought the 7.1 wireless RGB viod version one 3 weeks ago, super happy with it. But them the sennheiser sounds great.
Review the Astro A40 please. I'd like to hear your personal opinion.
Nice video, btw! :D
I have a pair and they don’t feel very nice on the head after a while so I would opt for a better headset personally
I like the aesthetic of those headphones. And that's it. Everything else is pretty sub-par.
In the first shot, what is the Steelseries model on the left man? That box looks amazing!!
+Dao Quang that's the Arctis 7
I have them on right now
the quality is a good one
10:08 But if you have buds/teammates who are having issues hearing you, then wireless should not be a thing you should be looking to buy if the wired version has a better mic.
Sounds like
Pilot communicating with passengers
just got this headset for christmas :D
If you haven't tried this headset on, I would suggest you to do so before buying them. For me, they have a very loose fit. Way too loose to be comfortable, especially as a wireless headset, as you expect to be moving around a bit.
