Pros
Pro Wireless works well
The wireless connectivity of the Corsair VOID Gaming is without a doubt its most important feature, and reviewers praise the wireless stability of the headset, with no distortion or loss of signal quality. The maximum range of the VOID is 20 feet, although ten feet is ideal.
Pro Good detail on the highs and nice presence on the mids
The highs present a good amount of detail which really helps in-game positional tracking. The mids have great clarity and make in-game dialogue and some sound effects stand out.
Pro 7.1 surround sound enhances sound imaging
With the Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound feature activated, in-game audio sound as if they are coming from distinct directions. This really helps to improve gaming immersion, and can also enhance audio cues to pinpoint the location of nearby in-game allies or enemies.
Pro Cushioned ear pads help to enhance comfort
The ear pads and headband feature thick cushioning which helps to minimize pressure on the ears and sides of the head. The pads are covered with a mesh material which allows for some airflow around the ears, and somehow helps to minimize heat build-up.
Pro RGB lighting customization
Through Corsair's CUE software, users can choose from a wide range of color combinations for the lights on the left and right ear cups. Different lighting patterns can also be selected, and can be set to match with other RGB equipped computers and gaming peripherals.
Pro Boom mic is convenient to use/position
The boom mic's position can easily be adjusted for optimal voice reception without getting in the way, and can also be rotated up to the left ear cup when not in use.
Pro Wireless connectivity allows convenient use
This connects to your computer via the 2.4Ghz wireless band so you'll not have to deal with dangling cables or adding more wires to your potentially wire-filled gaming setup.
Pro Can last for long gaming sessions
With the RGB lights off, the headset can last long hours of use. Playback time can be anywhere from 15 to 20 hours of music listening and/or gaming before the battery is depleted.
Pro On-ear cup controls allow for on-the-fly headset control
On the left ear cup are buttons which power the headset on or off, as well as mute the sound. Also, on the back of the ear cup is a volume rocker which can be used to control volume as well as to cycle through the EQ presets.
Pro InfoMic gives visual cues on headset status
The boom mic has LED lights which can indicate if the mic is on mute or not, what the current EQ setting is being used, or if Dolby Surround is activated. These lights can also show the headset's battery level.
Pro Solid build quality and appearance
Although the Corsair VOID series is primarily made out of plastic, the headset feels very sturdy and rigid. In short, according to users and reviewers, build quality is great.
Pro Corsair CUE offers extensive headset feature control
Aside from controlling RGB lighting, the CUE software also allows audio preset customization, manual EQ control and many other options.
Cons
Con Virtual Dolby 7.1 doesn't always work well
The Virtual 7.1 Dolby Surround implemented in the Corsair VOID Wireless doesn't always work well and mostly depends on the game or media you're playing. It can prove to be a huge advantage, while sometimes it's actually preferable to use the standard stereo setting. Tweaking via the included software is recommended, which can be annoying.
Con The weight can cause discomfort and fit issues
The Void wireless is large and features metal accents which, along with the internal battery and other components, make this headset quite heavy. This puts extra strain on the neck which can be uncomfortable over time. The weight also causes the headset to tilt forward, and can be quite annoying, especially if this starts to happen in the heat of the game.
Con Bass can be lacking
The low-end frequencies may sound thin and without power for some. In-game sound effects like gunshots and explosions may lack rumble and power.
Con RBG lighting puts a heavy toll on battery life
Keeping the RGB lighting on while using the headset can substantially drop battery life. There can be a reduction of anywhere from 3 to 6 hours of playback time, depending on the brightness of the lights and lighting effects used. If optimal battery duration is important, then consider turning off the lights when using the headset.
Con Ear pads may not fit well for those with larger ears
The ear pads do not fit some users well as they either sit on top of or feel too tight around the ears. While cushioning is ample, the angular and narrow opening of the ear cups/pads may not be suited for those with larger ears.
Con Poor mic sound quality
If the audio quality from the mic is of prime concern for you then this may not be the best option. While the sound is audible and has some clarity to it, it may also come off as quite tinny and compressed, as if you are speaking through a phone.
