Corsair Void Pro Wireless vs SteelSeries Siberia 840

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.

The ear cups feature a closed design which blocks outside noise. People near you won't hear the in-game audio while you're wearing these.

This is versatile gaming headset works with PC, Xbox One and a host of other devices.

The microphone is flexible and can easily be bent or angled as preferred. If not in use, the mic can be pushed into the ear cup so it won’t get in the way.

You can adjust the various settings of the Siberia 840 on your computer via Steelseries’ Engine 3 app. You get more fine tuning options compared to what the base station can provide, and you’ll also be able to set and sync audio profiles with your other Steelseries devices, allowing on the fly audio changes depending on the inputs to your Steelseries mouse and/or keyboard.

The range and stability of the wireless connection is very good. The signal remains stable with clear audio even if the headset is more than 30 feet away from the base. There is also no noticeable delay between what is happening on screen and when you hear the audio.

You can connect this headset to your smartphone/tablet and other Bluetooth capable audio devices, which is a major upgrade over the old 800 model. This allows you to take calls from your phone and improves device compatibility, and are perks that you may find to be very useful.

This headset has a fun sound signature. The highs are slightly boosted, which helps make the audio sound very airy. The enhanced bass makes explosions quite powerful and immersive. The mids, while not forward, are present and give body to the audio.

The Siberia 840 comes with a spare battery pack in addition to the one already provided. The spare battery can be charged independently in the base station, so you can use the headset while the other battery pack charges. Swapping from one battery to another is also quick and easy to do.

This headset's wireless connection (both RF and Bluetooth) is stable and the sound is detailed and powerful. The base station also accepts a variety of analog and digital inputs, making this a very versatile headset. It also has a long battery life complemented by a charging system that allows you to charge one battery pack while using the other.
