As a disclaimer, I got this on sale $20 off; it goes on sale pretty often. In a market where wireless headsets go for $100+, this headset is the cheapest I’ve seen from a trusted brand like Corsair. As for the experience, it uses a 2.4 GHz USB receiver for audio. The receiver is a full size stick unlike the stubs Logitech devices have which is a gripe of mine, but it’s not a huge dealbreaker. The sound quality is nice and crisp. For a headset of this price you won’t be getting premium sound; the bass is a little underwhelming. You can adjust the sound profiles on the Corsair software which is pretty convenient to get a sound that’s more to your liking. With some tweaking, you can get quality sound out of it.
It also has a ton of quality of life features that make this such a convenient headset to have and carry around with you. The earcups swivel sideways for easy storage, and help if you put your headset down on your neck. The mic mutes when you flip it up which is quick and easy, easier for me than to fish around for the mute button which is a little hard to differentiate. I also have absolutely no sound echo into the mic which I had happen a lot with my old turtle beach headset which is very nice. The battery life is also pretty decent. It’s rated at 16 hours, and that decreases when you turn on RGB which I don’t really use but is bright and cool. It doesn’t sound like much, but I don’t use my headset all day and every day and it can last me a week until I have to plug it in. It uses microUSB to charge which sucks, but you can just plug the cable into your PC and let it charge, although the headset only works wireless so the cable doesn’t transfer any sound.
Overall, this is a budget wireless headset but it is solid and if you’re still on a wired headset and don’t want to break the bank this is a great choice and once you switch it feels completely liberating.

Very comfortable! Fits my head quite nicely!
Quality Material!
It can go very loud without distortion!
Charges quickly!
Great quality mic!
Has RGB (but comes at a cost for battery life)
Battery life is about 12-16 hrs.
So here is the deal about the battery:
1) First charge took about an hour, I let it charge for 2 hours would not go past 96%. I received about 18 hours of audio (RGB off, brightness turned off and mic light was off(no red light)).
2) However, went from 96% to about 60% rather quickly(About 1-
2hrs).
3) Then stayed at 50-60% for about 2 hours.
4) Next stage went from 50% to 33% quickly (1-2 hrs). Stayed at about 30% for 2 hrs. At this stage at 30%, the audio started to become super choppy and rather annoying, every min or so sound would “pop” and/or “crackle”.
5) Now, from 30% to 26% took about 2 hrs. (Audio continued to be “poppy & crackling”.
6) Battery Life from 26% – 18% took about 2 hours. Stayed around 10-18% for about 1-2hrs.
7) I continued to use till about 2-5 % took about 2 hrs to go from 10-5% (same popping and cracking audio). Then called it a day and went for a full charge. I want to see what happens to the battery life and the “battery level” on a depleted/full charge. If I can edit and/or comment after review, I will post an update on charge time and usage time.
8) Update your headset firmware! I feel it is a must!
96 – 60% – 2hrs
50 – 60% – 2hrs + 2hr @ ~55%
50 – 33% – 2hrs + 2hr @ ~33%
26 – 18% – 2hrs
10 – 18% – 2hrs + 2hr @ ~18%
5 – 10% – 2hrs
TOTAL:
Approximately ~18hrs
This is the second void elite wireless headset I have received. The first one I bought, I returned because the battery life was about 6 hours and audio was “poppy and cracking” almost the entire time of use.
Now, to summarize: Would I recommend this headset? Absolutely! I rather enjoyed the headset. However, if you don’t mind cords and/or USB extensions, I would definitely go with the wired version. You can get the RGB, the 7.1 surround sound, the excellent mic all w/o the battery problems.

I bought these headset for my 9 year old son. I was impress with how comfortable they are no matter if you are a kid or an adult. The sound and voice quality were great. I like how the headset light up and how you can manage the headset using the corsair software. I didn’t like the USB wireless receiver it was bulky. I was expecting to be able to sync it with my computer via Bluetooth or a small USB.
Pros: Grate voice and sound, ease of use, and RGB functionality
Con: Don’t like the wireless receiver and how bulky it is.

I would recommend these headphones due to them being very loud! The only thing is they seem wide when you take them out the box but once you push them together constantly throughout the days they will get less wide. I love these and got them on sale so I will give 10/10. They look sick. The RGB features are very nice as well. Worth the buy!

The headset is nice fit for my average-sized head and has great features from the iCue Corsair software (which I have my gripes with, but this review is about the hardware, not the software). I have had it for a week and have had no problems with this on my head for 16 hours at a time. The battery life is what you expect, runs for about 16-20 hours on a full charge, but I would recommend turning RGB off to save some battery life (I don’t really care about the RGB feature). One HUGE POINT I would like to make is you’d need to keep iCue running to use whatever profile you had set up. If you quit iCue application, the headset ignores your profile changes, and switches to full brightness RGB mode, which wastes battery life a lot. Other than that, the fit is nice and snug, my ears don’t hurt after long use, music and sound is perfectly fine for average user like me, and battery life is what I expected.

Bought some for the kids and me and sadly I can hear everything clear, even when they are heavily breathing because of the consumption of twinkies and Mountain Dew

Fits great for people with big heads like myself. Sound quality is fantastic for its price as well. Note that the Corsair software to control the equalizer and RGB is quite barebones. Do your self a favor and use Razer Synapse 2.0 (the older version. The newer version only supports modern razer products while the older program supports third party products) for controlling the equalizer as Synapse 2.0 also has great options for controlling player voice and loudness unlike Corsairs software which I only use to control the RGB.
For PS4 players, the usb charge cable will have to be used in the back of the console because the usb stick is a bit large. The console will automatically pair once the dongle is plugged into the USB slot, which fits in the front.
Device last about 14-16 hours of constant use.
8/10 product.
