The Corsair VOID Surround is quite a surprise in regards to its gaming performance. Delivering top quality DOLBY Surround in an affordable and comfortable shell. The 50mm drivers give a warm and powerful experience that was enjoyable in gaming and music listening, though it is worth adjusting the audio signature to taste in the equaliser.
There are a few considerations to bare in mind with the VOID Surround, one is that overtime it does get rather warm, so hot and sweaty summer days may be detrimental to its comfort, which is otherwise falling in the satisfactory-good level. The other consideration is that, without tweaking the audio in the equaliser, the audio is rather boomy, and muddy with little high end to note. This however is a superficial oversight considering that the tools to make the adjustments are available and it makes such a difference.
Fans of virtual 7.1 surround may have been looking for a cheaper headset than the ultra premium offerings that we often see with DOLBY Surround, however, considering that for the next two weeks (at time of writing) it is available at just £59, this is one Surround headset that is an absolute steal. At it's standard pricing it remains relatively competitive but will have to contend with a very strong market. This however, doesn't stop the VOID Surround from getting our gold.
The Corsair VOID Surround gives an exceptional virtual surround experience at a competitive price point.
