LucidSound LS40 vs Corsair Void Pro Wireless

The sound signature of this headset is fun as the highs are clear and detailed while the bass has good punch and power to it. Ambient sound effects will definitely pop with this headset, and explosions will have a lot of oomph as well. Users can also customize the sound by switching through the headset's various audio profiles.

The 7.1 surround sound feature helps to improve imaging and sound stage. The sound feels wider and audio sources feel like they are coming from different directions around the user. Not only does this help improve immersion but can also help give the headset's user a better sense of positional audio.

This headset can function as a wireless device when used with the included USB dongle connected to a PC or compatible console. However, this headset can also connect to smartphones and music players via 3.5mm cable for wired mobile use.

When used in wireless mode, this headset has up to 15 hours of playback time which should be enough for a long gaming or music listening session.

The ear pads and headband feature thick foam material which makes them feel real soft and help ease the pressure of the head. The headband also has stitching on the leather surface while the ear pads have a mix of velour and leather which help to prevent heat build-up on the head.

The headset's microphone can easily be plugged-in or removed from the left ear cup. Also, the mic itself is very flexible and can be bent to your preferred position/direction.

Tapping on the the ear cups' outer discs can mute either headphone or chat audio. A dial on the right ear cup allows for audio volume control while there are buttons on the underside of the ear cups to turn the headset on/off or to cycle through EQ profiles.

The headset has an understated and sleek design which gives it a premium look. This is supplemented by the use of metal on the headband and yoke which makes the headset feel solid and gives it a satisfying weight as well.

Aside from controlling RGB lighting, the CUE software also allows audio preset customization, manual EQ control and many other options.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Void Pro has improved bass response compared to the original Void Wireless. Explosions have more oomph and gunshots and similar effects sound punchier than before. The highs also have great clarity, and it should be much easier for you to hear small audio details. The mids have good clarity, though they are slightly recessed. In-game and movie dialogue may easily be overpowered by the powerful lows and detailed treble.

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.

This connects to your computer via the 2.4Ghz wireless band so you won't have to deal with dangling cables or adding more wires to your potentially wire-filled gaming setup.

This headset may cost similarly to other wired options. However, it offers the convenience of wireless connectivity with reliable signal quality and no latency.. Sound performance is good, making this a bang for the buck purchase.
