Corsair VOID ELITE RGB USB Gaming Headset (7.1 Surround Sound, Optimised Omnidirection Microphone, Customisable RGB Lighting, Microfibre Mesh Fabric Earpads, Aluminium Construction) - Black

This is my second pair of this headset, the first lasting me many many years but I damaged them myself so had to replace them. I probably got over 10,000 hours out of them and it would have been more had I looked after them.Totally happy with the sound quality but I mainly get them for the comfort, they are both tight fitting over the ears but with sufficient give and nice foam covers, I often have them on for over 10 hours a day and never get any pains.The microphone is..... ok.... it's not fantastic, it'll totally allow you to chat with your friends online but if you're looking to make professional videos you'll probably need a better microphone.Anyway, I'm considering buying a couple more pairs for the future!Enjoy.

I've had these for 24 hours after returning the hyper x cloud stinger s 7.1 headset I had bought. Initially I was worried the 7.1 surround sound would have the same issues as the hyper x and that they wouldn't be comfortable as many have said but after having them recommend by friends who have the pro version undecided to take the plunge and boy am I grateful that I did . They are nice and comfortable not to loose ( I do have a big head ) the sound is amazing the voices from my friends while talking on discord is nice and clear with the mic picking up my voice nice and clear too . The noise cancelling is top notch as I vape and non of my friends could hear when I did vape it also cut out my music from my phone which I purposely turned the volume up to max and held the phone to the mic with no noise coming through only while I spoke . Volume control is super easy switching from different sound settings is as easy as pressing the volume control on the left ear cup and switching from 7.1 to stereo is just press and hold the switch . You get a decent length of cable with a usb connection . Would I recommend these to people hell yeah I would and I'd buy them again if this set ever broke

My last headset was a Logitech G633 with dolby surround, so that is what I will be comparing these to.Since logitech have dropped dolby and moved to DTS, their sound quality has suffered greatly and that made me want to switch to a new headset. The void elite is.. ok.Firstly, the Elite doesn't come with dolby support, I believe if you want dolby you must get the void or void pro and use an old version of their ICUE software. Corsair use their own 7.1 software with the Elite and the surround sound is claustrophobic. things close to you sound too close and muffled. Things a short distance from you sound too far away. It's a stereo set of headphones with software 7.1. Other headsets come with extra speakers in the earpiece for a better experience, these don't seem to which I imagine contributes to that feeling of claustrophobia since the soundscape is very narrow. The equalizer that comes with the software doesn't do much to help. That being said, I'm sure I'll get used to it in time.With a little play testing in various games, I've discovered that it can sometimes be tricky to pinpoint if an enemy is above or below you. Or even if they are in front of you or behind you, as compared to the 633s where you know where everything was almost exactly.The headset quality is pretty good, they are comfortable to wear and feel pretty light. Not a huge fan of how the volume works but it's fine, it's a switch you hold up or down instead of a roller. The mic seems alright, I've not had much cause to try it out yet. The headset itself is compact and feels fine to wear.For music and movies it's perfectly adequate.Overall 3.5/5

I felt obliged to write this review in response to everybody saying they are a loose fit and could fall off your head.I can tell you that is not the case. There is the smalled amount of room at the bottom under the ear but that is why I like them, allow me to explain. I recently paid £70 for some Logitech headphones and the minute I put them on I knew I was returning them. They cupped my ears and were too tight under the ear, on my pressure point. When I tried these on they were absolutly perfect. Soft fabric padding, sitting comfortably around me ears, and importantly not pressing tight under my ear. The sound is very good, I have 5 different presets, I use number 3 for X Plane and number 5 for PUBG. Soft RGB lights give it an ambient look. 10/10. Download the Corsair software to edit the neon lights and the presets. I love it, and might buy another in case they stop making them.

Corsair a name you associate well with gaming.Build: This headset is built to last. Plastic mold with metal swivel earcups and metal in the headband.Sound: The sound quality is insanely good. I hear everything clearly when playing all my favourite games. I also listen to music alot and these are also good for that. I would recommend downloading the software for some other options. The quality of the mic is is fantastic and it is Discord certified. No distortion or crackling.All the buttons are easy to access on the headset. Your mic mutes when when you lift it up and unites when pulled down.The headset is super comfy and feels so light when on the head. I game for hours at a time and it still feels as comfy. My ears sweat on my old headset but not on this.This headset is noted as being able to do PC and Console but you don't get the adaptor to do Console, that has to be bought separately (can be purchased on a ebay super cheap).I really love this headset and for £69.99 it was a steal.
