Gaming experience and MIC

For testing the headset let's simply talk through a handful of games:

PUBG

Our test could not miss one of the hottest titles of the recent months. In many situations, this popular battle royale game requires not only patience but also capturing audio details that can reveal e.g. if another player is in the same building as you. So, the spatial aspect of the sound is important, making it easier to determine the direction from which the opponent is coming and even the distance to them. The test consisted of playing a single match in solo mode. The Corsair VOID RGB ELITE WIRELESS works great in PUBG, and 7.1 mode was rather decent, but I liked Stereo much better.

Battlefield 1

Here, the sound becomes just an addition for us, which is partly due to the fact that we could not even feel the headphones on our heads because of their lightness. The advantage of this is that you can focus on the game better. Everything seems to be correct. The headset does a great job of presenting environment detail, and the bass response is more than enough (which makes deep rumble explosion effects possible). Positioning is excellent here, providing us with a full sense of orientation in the field, and the ability to determine where the sound comes from. Clarity was excellent as well. 7.1 virtual surround performs reasonable in this title but it was still worse than Stereo.

Call of Duty: WW2

Positioning at the highest level – we were able to locate sounds coming from any direction (including up and down) without any problems. The stage, although not too big, is perfectly suited to this game. Here, when you hear that something is close, it just is. In short, determining changes in the distance to the sound source was easy for me. Immersion was great, and I could really enjoy the atmosphere. Sound-wise it's all very good. The 7.1 virtualization isn’t honesty the best thing here, so it’s better to play in Stereo.

DiRT Rally

Rally cars at their finest. DiRT Rally is a very demanding simulation (maybe not as much as Richard Burns Rally, but not so far from it). The sound is very realistic, and you can almost feel the roar of the engine and grind of the transmission. The VOID RGB ELITE WIRELESS is great with DiRT Rally, so you won’t miss any important sounds, but 7.1 surround sound implementation isn’t good, as it is probably more useful in games with potential enemies behind you (not applicable here).

Grand Theft Auto V

The music in GTA 5 is really diverse, and there are some funky tunes that can take advantage of the headset’s rich bass reproduction. It’s even better when you’re just driving or walking around the city. The two 50 mm neodymium drivers really make a difference in this game. You can almost feel like you’re really in Ludendorff or Paleto Bay.

Assassin’s Creed: Origins

All ambient sounds are reflected well. The stage is really sufficient for this game. Weapon strikes sound very realistically. In many places, you can enjoy a multitude of details in a range of different sounds without the impression that one imposes on the other, or that they blend together. The 7.1 virtual surround sound did a nice job in AC: Origins, and this is not something to be taken for granted, as shown by the other tests above.
