Corsair Gaming VOID RGB
Wireless Dolby headsets just got RGB LEDs
We review the new Corsair Gaming VOID RGB wireless headset. The Dolby 7.1 certified VOID RGB is the successor model to the Vengeance series and works through a USB transmitter on the 2.4 GHz Wireless band. One charge will get you hours of wireless headset gaming over two quality 50mm drivers.
Over the years Corsair has moved from being a memory company towards a much more diverse entity targeted at gamers. Memory, SSDs, power supplies, chassis', keyboards, mouses, cooling and sure, audio products as well. On the audio front Corsair has now moved products to their professional gaming line called 'Corsair gaming'. Being all wireless and with nice big 50mm (not sure but likely Neodyne) drivers this headset connects wirelessly to your USB port with the help of a receiver and transmitter USB dongle. The new headset has support for Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP. Windows 10 is obviously supported as well, you will need to download the latest driver for the full Corsair Utility Engine software suite which allows you to tweak audio to your audiophile preference. The new model name is the Gaming VOID RGB Wireless 7.1 Gaming Headset which proclaims to be a 7.1 surround wireless gaming headset that brings in realistic multi-channel-like gaming audio. The battery charge can bring you the comfort of 16 hours of usage (according to Corsair). The VOID RGB works through a USB transmitter (surround-sound headset) and comes with nice big 50mm drivers and a trick or two.
The headset supports Dolby surround sound, albeit we found that disabling that feature sounded much better overall. The new headset is capable of offering a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response. The product will carry a 2 year warranty ensuring that the Corsair Gaming VOID RGB will love you long time. The RGB system basically consists of configurable LEDs housed in both earpads, armed with the Corsair Utility Engine you can apply a varyity of colors and/or animations and even programm things yourself. Anyway, let's read on-wards and find out how the new wireless Corsair Gaming VOID RGB headset works and sounds. But have a peek at that new look, and then hit the next page please.
