![]() ![]() The Corsair VOID RGB Wireless 7.1 carries a two year warranty against manufacturers defects. Corsair is charging a $70 premium for wireless functionality and CUE software compatibility, as all other features and components between the headphones are the same, though the Wireless version weighs more due to added wireless components and a battery. The Corsair VOID RGB Wireless 7.1 that we are looking at today is currently available at Amazon for $129.99, with the stereo model that lacks RGB functionality available for $69.99. Also available is the VOID Wireless SE Yellowjacket Edition that features a yellow colored frame and black accents, with all of the other pertinent features exactly the same as the standard VOID RGB Wireless 7.1. Wired analog and USB models are also available, but the analog model does not support the Corsair CUE software due to a lack of compatible interface. The Corsair VOID RGB Wireless 7.1 is one of five different headsets in the VOID lineup. It will be interesting to see how the VOID RGB Wireless 7.1 compares with my current setup in terms of overall functionality as a gaming headset.Ĭorsair VOID RGB Wireless 7.1 Specifications Rather than using a dedicated gaming headset, for the past couple of years I’ve used a pair of Sennheiser HD558 headphones with a Sound Blaster Z beam-shaping microphone for sound. A bad sound stage presented by the headphones or a crackling, substandard microphone can all be the downfall of a gaming headset. While there are many virtues to a gaming headset and the benefits they can bring, you have to ensure you’re using a quality headset or else a lot of that benefit will be lost. By wearing a quality gaming headset, you immerse yourself more into the game by being able to shut out sounds that aren’t produced by your game. There is also the immersion factor to think about. People don’t like the sound of explosions and gunfire while they are trying to sleep. Late night gaming sessions in a dorm room or apartment building, for example, aren’t going to be met kindly if you are running sounds through speakers. In non-competitive settings, gaming headsets serve multiple purposes, as well. It is also necessary for competitive gamers to hear all in-game sounds and isolate outside noise, as reactions in competitive games are often based on sound and being able to hear where opponents are coming from. It isn’t uncommon to see headsets required for use in local competitive gaming, either. Gaming headsets are an absolute necessity in the competitive gaming arena, as external speakers will get drowned out and upset those next to you, in addition to having other limitations, such as limited portability. Five years have passed since the release of the HS1 and today we’re looking at the latest evolution in the Corsair lineup, the VOID RGB Wireless 7.1. My first experience with a Corsair non-DRAM product was the Corsair HS1, a comfortable gaming headset that earned high marks for being a solid, comfortable gaming headset. Several years ago, Corsair began to diversify and started offering products in other categories, such as CPU coolers, Solid State Drives and gaming peripherals. Corsair is known for producing high quality memory modules for the enthusiast market, often being one of the first manufacturers to release high speed memory for newly released chipsets. Corsair began business in 1994, producing L2 cache modules and later began DRAM production. Corsair VOID RGB Wireless 7.1 Gaming HeadsetĬorsair is one of the companies at the forefront when it comes to producing high quality, focused products that cater to enthusiasts and gamers.
