Corsair VOID Pro RGB Wireless Review

Conclusion

The VOID Pro RGB Wireless shows off the excellent quality that people have come to expect from Corsair. As a wireless headset, it comes in very competitively priced when compared to the likes of the Arctis 7, the ManO'War, or even the Siberia 850, though, we often feel that the price of wireless gaming headsets are often bloated, especially as wireless technology is not inherently expensive. Despite that, Corsair have certainly created an impressive, good value product that gives gamers an exciting, and immersive gaming experience thanks to its awesome implementation of Dolby Headphone 7.1.



In our testing, we felt that there were some missed opportunities. Firstly, the bane of all wireless headsets, especially ones that can only connect via wireless means (such as the VOID Pro RGB Wireless, Razer ManO'War), is a waning battery life which forces obsolescence. While we haven't experienced many headsets with replaceable batteries, we feel that it is a vital consideration, and a missed opportunity in a product that is a supposed 'refresh'. There are a number of other considerations we need to make, including its lack of versatility, (especially when compared to the Arctis 7) as well as the faint background static. The static isn't really detrimental to the experience, but its something that you will noticed from time to time. Adding to this, we feel that the microphone could have been a little better also.

The most notable downsides we felt in consideration to the VOID Pro RGB Wireless, is its 390g mass (making the Arctis 7 seem light) combined with its rather loose grip. This combination presents a very real risk of the headset falling off your head with any fast or sudden movements. Aside from that, if you can deal with its mass, it is a comfortable headset, and the fabric material combined with the viscoelastic foam, is breathable, cool, and does help prevent excessive heat build up more effectively than most leatherette earpads. To help us put this all into perspective, we need to consider that the VOID Pro RGB Wireless is £59 cheaper than its competitors, and that alone will make this a very popular choice amongst gamers.

If you live and breathe in the joys of wireless gaming, the VOID Pro RGB Wireless represents brilliant value and is amongst the best out there in regards to virtual surround performance.
