For PS4 players, however, there are more viable, less expensive options available, including Sony's official Wireless Gold 7.1 headset ( around $85) and Turtle Beach's Stealth 600 ( $100USD).

Extensive use of the RGB lighting, however, drains the battery much faster.Ĭorsair's updated Void RGB Elite is a solid build wireless headpiece that offers great comfort and decent sound quality combined with a good-performing microphone for PC players. As expected, the exact amount of playtime depends on the volume level, but overall, I was able to get close to the boasted 16 hours. It doesn't last as long as the battery in the Arctis 1 Wireless or the amazing HyperX Cloud Flight S, but around 16 hours of juice is good enough for most players. Lasting up more than 16 hours on a single charge, the battery life of the Void is on par with other recent wireless gaming headsets. I would have liked the microphone to be more flexible, but this is merely a minor downside.
The sensitivity was changed from -38 dB to -42 dB and has now been Disord certified. The updated microphone, however, performs above my expectations and is really accurate for a headset mic. Overall, the Void RGB Elite offers a decent sound experience with slightly boosted mids, allowing for footsteps and the likes to be detected more clearly. The only way to adjust the volume on Sony's platform is to go into volume control in the PS4's 'Audio Devices' menu. Corsair boasts that this headset is supported by Sony's platform and I would at least expected the volume to be adjusted on the headset itself. While the headset's default sound is decent for a gaming headset in this price range, and the absence of virtual surround sound might not be that important, the inability to adjust the Void's volume on the PS4 using the on-ear volume dial, really bothered me.
This also applies to the EQ-profiles that are tied to the iCUE application, and are therefore only available on PC. Whereas the Elite offers virtual surround sound on PC via Corsair's iCUE program, surround sound isn't available on the PS4. Support for Sony's PlayStation 4 platform was also added, but PS4 owners should know that there are better, less expensive alternatives available. In addition, the headphone sensitivity was increased from 107 dB to 116 dB for more loudness at a given volume. In general, wireless gaming headsets also support wired play via USB or through a 3.5mm jack, but this isn't the case with this headpiece.įor the updated Void RGB Elite, Corsair has increased the headphone frequency response to 30 kHz from 20 kHz, allowing for a wider range of audible sound vibrations. Unfortunately, that's the only connection that is supported, thereby limiting connectivity with other devices. Some might argue that the fit is somewhat loose, but I didn't have any issues with it.įor its wireless signal, the Void RGB Elite uses a 2.4GHz RF USB dongle, and getting the headset to work is as simple as plugging in the dongle and powering the headset on. Going to the on-ear controls, we find the power button, volume dial, and a mic mute button on the left earpad alongside the non-detachable omnidirectional microphone.Ĭoming from the more expensive, but not so comfortable Virtuoso, I was kind of skeptical about the comfort of the Void Elite, but my preconception has proven to be wrong - with its easily adjustable headband and soft-fabric ear cushions, Corsair's offering is extremely comfortable and rivals the comfort of more expensive headsets, even for those wearing glasses.
