CORSAIR VOID RGB ELITE Wireless Gaming Headset – 7.1 Surround Sound – Omni-Directional Microphone – Microfiber Mesh Earpads – Up to 40ft Range – iCUE Compatible – PC, Mac, PS5, PS4 – Carbon

I bought these gaming headphones last week at a reduced price of £79.00 which was 27% off after searching for a good pair for weeks. I asked all my gaming friends for recommendations and all of them listed different brands. I wanted wireless to say goodbye to the cord which kept getting wrapped around my chair with my old ones. 7.1 surround. A good quality microphone and speakers. A decent battery was also important as some of my gaming sessions on the weekend with friends can go on for hours. I got all of these things.WIRELESSThe headphones use 2.4GHz wireless frequency to connect to your PC witht he supplied adapter. It is essentially plug-and-play, with very little setup required (I discuss iCUE below). The range is great, I can go from all corners of my home and it never cuts out and I haven't noticed any latency with any game, video or song I listen to. I am still getting used to not being tethered to my desk with a cord anymore and realised today I can actually go and make a cup of tea while still talking to my friends now.BUILD QUALITYStrong plastic design with a lovely shape and adjustable headband. Combined with the comfortable ear rests which do a great job with external noise reduction, I happy with the quality of this product. I also love how the mic can be raised which mutes all input audio if for example you want to go to the bathroom but still want to listen to a video etc. The charging is fast (cable supplied) and has a great length in case you need it while working/gaming and the battery starts getting low. However, I've not needed to do this yet. The lights on the side are nice and funky and can be changed to suit your style.SOUND AND iCUEMusic, gaming and video sound quality ARE crisp, with a nice balance of bass. A massive upgrade to my old ELO headphones. The surround is amazing and I can hear the location of every footstep in my games. I have nothing bad to say about the sound quality, absolutley out of this world! I can also hear my friends a lot clearer in Discord calls. You can download the supported application iCUE which can change the colour od the lights on the side, change the levels of bass etc. You can pretty much customize the entire headphone experience via this software and I highly recommend downloading it. It also supports Nvidia Broadcast which only adds tot he overall sound and microphone quality.MICROPHONEWhen I joined a call the other day using these for the first time, my friends noticed a massive improvement to my voice quality. They background noise reduction works extremely well, and makes my voice very clear. I haven't tested this with games I own which use voice recognition yet but I am sure I won't have any problems with these either as after hearing my voice back, the feedback was faultless. Sounded like I was in a recording studio!OVERALLExcellent value for money, fantastic quality. I would highly recommend these to any gamer and people who work from home and need to take conference calls. 10/10

Decided to finally upgrade (if you call it an upgrade) from my aging Astro A40's I've been using over 6 years. I wanted something new, and more importantly something wireless. Getting tangled up on my chair with the headphone wire, having a mixamp on my desk and optical cable/usb cable it was messy. The microphone tells you when it is on/off for reassurance that you aren't accidentally saying something for others to hear!These are solid headphones, they look the part. They're very comfortable and have adequate padding on both the headband and surrounding you ears. I find these a much tighter fit than my Astro A40's to the point it blocks 90% of background noise out on 35% volume. I find 35% volume is more than enough for me, any louder and I'll be deaf by the time I'm 50. I can often hear my heart beating when the sound goes silent that's how good a fit these are.I'd say they sound quality is slightly inferior compared with my old Astro A40's, but it's a "budget" gaming headset. I wasn't convinced on the sound quality at first until I discovered and downloaded Dolby Atmos for 7.1 surround sound (spatial audio). This transformed the sound quality and headset making me start to enjoy it. I highly recommend downloading Dolby Atmos off the Microsoft store and turning on the Dolby Atmos via the spatial audio on Windows - it will transform the sound quality.Battery life on a full charge, I can't seem to get a full charge yet I usually unplug it around 92-96% battery, that will last me about 6 hours of continuous use before I need to recharge it. This is on 35% volume. The advert claims up to 16 hours of battery life, I think this is highly optimistic by Corsair you'd be lucky to get half that on low volume.The range is good I can walk downstairs and into the hallway before the sound cuts off. As soon as I'm back in range it will auto reconnect.Overall I'm happy with my purchase. Because the battery life isn't as good as stated, and the sound quality is slightly inferior to the Astro A40 I'll give them 8.5/10.

I bought a pair on the 29th of July 2021 and they've performed admirably until now. I'd happily continue using them but the mic has nearly fallen off. The mic itself works fine, but it's always been flimsy. The wireless works great and it quite strong and easy to set up on PC. Charge time is alright too. They've done better than more expensive headphones I've owned, and they're comfortable.Despite the mic issues I'm going to buy another pair, it's newer version so I hope works just as well.
