The video provides a comprehensive review of the Corsair Void Pro wireless gaming headset, highlighting several updates and features compared to previous models and competitors. Key improvements include a flexible microphone arm, sturdier build, new mute indicator LED, and beautification features for the mic. Despite these enhancements, the headset’s sound quality is deemed adequate, especially for in-game chat, and the rotation point remains a weak spot.
The reviewer addresses the ability to adjust EQ settings via software, the constantly flashing LED battery indicator, and the RGB lighting's significant impact on battery life. The headset's battery life is notably poor when RGB lighting is enabled, necessitating manual adjustments or frequent recharging.
Wireless functionality is praised for maintaining clear, detailed audio without interference, even across various ranges and through walls. However, the convenience of wireless use is offset by the need for diligent battery management. Additionally, the Dolby Surround sound offers an expansive soundstage, although it can compromise positional accuracy, making traditional stereo sound preferable for precise audio cues.
Other practical considerations include the loose fit of the headband, the necessity of using a USB dongle even while charging, and the auto-shutdown feature’s limitations. The price point of $99 is recognized as a reasonable trade-off for the convenience of wireless functionality despite some compromises in design and performance. The video suggests disabling RGB lighting to extend battery life and expresses the need for larger batteries for extended gaming sessions.

In this segment of the video, the presenter introduces the Corsair Void Pro, a new wireless gaming headset, and compares it with earlier versions and other headsets. Key updates include a flexible microphone arm and a sturdier build, although the rotation point remains weak. The microphone now has a beautification feature and a mute indicator LED, but its sound quality is only adequate for in-game chat. The presenter conducts sound tests comparing the Void Pro with its predecessor and other headsets, highlighting that while the Void Pro’s sound quality is not superior, its wireless feature is valuable. The headset retains its controls on the left ear cup, which include a power button, mic mute, volume adjustment, and EQ profile switching, with an option for Dolby Surround sound.

In this segment of the video, the reviewer discusses some features and shortcomings of the Corsair Void Pro headset. Key points include the ability to adjust the EQ settings through simple software and a new LED indicator for battery levels near the mic USB port. The LED flashes constantly, showing green for a full battery, orange for low battery, and red when recharging is needed. However, the lack of a clear indication of remaining hours of use is a drawback. The headset’s battery life is poor with RGB lighting enabled, draining quickly, and it’s suggested to disable this feature.
Additional dislikes mentioned are the glossy parts that attract fingerprints, the loose fit of the adjustable headband, and the need to use the USB dongle to operate the headset even while charging. The headset has improved rotation cuffs and memory foam, although the latter affects the snug fit. There’s also an auto shutdown feature to conserve battery, but it doesn’t activate when the PC is off, leading to unnecessary battery drain overnight. The reviewer suggests either turning off the headset manually or plugging it in to avoid this issue.

In this part, the reviewer discusses the pros and cons of a wireless headset. They highlight that the primary drawback is the battery life, as it requires constant monitoring and frequent recharging, which diminishes the convenience of a wireless setup. Despite this, the reviewer notes that the range and sound quality are commendable, with the headset maintaining good audio without interference even through multiple walls. The sound quality features good clarity and detail, delivering powerful audio even at high volumes without distortion. The Dolby surround sound offers a wider soundstage but can color the positional accuracy, making traditional stereo mode preferable for precise audio cues. Additionally, the reviewer criticizes the RGB lighting for its negative impact on battery life, rendering the headset less practical as a wireless option due to limited battery duration when the lighting is enabled.
