Corsair Gaming VOID USB RGB Gaming Headset - Carbon

Pros: I am going to start of by saying that these Corsair Gaming Headsets have to be the best on the market, about a 1 year ago I received the Vengeance 2000 Gaming Headset and It has been the absolute best and it is no different for the Corsair Vengeance 1500 v2., and now I have the VOID , and it is the best yet, what a transformation, it is of very good quality "Corsair Quality" I really like the Control Panel with options including "Dolby", Equalizer and Stereo, and 7.1 Surround, the 7.1 Surround really does work, its virtual, but it works so very well. The Microphone seem to be very good and experienced no problems while playing several games online and through Dragon Naturally Speaking. The Microfiber-covered memory foam ear pads and padded headband fit me very nice at one point I have had them on for a solid 3 hours and I had no sore spots and I wear glasses. Tested the Corsair VOID on 3 of my gaming machines and both of my gaming laptops and the VOID worked flawlessly on Win7 USB.3 and USB.2 I love this headset so much i was so excited for weeks after i received this, the quality and a attention to small details. The full RGB is awesome, it is totally custom for any color your gaming rig might be, with features like solid, gradient, ripple, and wave, also duel color. The surround sound works excellent! the sound is crisp and clean has great bass and the mic is perfect, it is clear and picks up well. I used this in all different situations gaming, music, movies and this headset excelled beyond my expatiation. The cord is the perfect length for me was not to long like the older generation headsets.The control panel is good and easy to use.It was very comfortable.I wear glasses and i did not feel any pressure even after hours of use.

Cons: When it comes to any thing bad to say about the VOID, I can not think of nothing, it is truly the best Corsair Gaming Headset yet.

Overall Review: If any of you and ever had any Corsair Products you know just how good quality Corsair Products are. These headsets are very nice, They are my absolutely favorite, when listing to music,movies , or gaming this is a well rounded headset and what ever Corsair Headset you choose to go with I am sure you will absolutely love, my personal opinion I might would go with the wireless version,its just my personal preference, I just don't not like cords. Just make sure you go to Corsair's website to get the latest driver, I am having the greatest time with this, sounds so good when playing all the latest games. I tried this headset on most of my pc's my MSI GT72, ASUS G75, and 3 of my custom built gaming rigs and had no problem installing the driver/control panel. The sound is comparable to my Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D and my X-Fi, yes it is that good! The build quality of this thing is amazing, its Corsair Quality! I have lots of Corsair products from power supplies to memory and that's whats great about there products and their customer service.

Pros: Build quality is great, material used for ear and top of head was a great choice. I've found them to be comfortable even after a few hours of gaming. The USB is the perfect length for anyone who has there rig on the top of their desk, if your rig is on the ground or farther away you may need a usb extension cable to wear them comfortably or even be able to use them at all. Changing LED's on the headset is a nice touch and a luxury touch to gaming headsets. Mic quality is great and sound is OKAY at best (see con).

Cons: As soon as I plugged this bad boy I noticed how awful the sound was. Very flat EQ, no rich deep bass, everything sounded simply flat and crispy. To some you may like this but from cheaper gaming headsets I have used from Logitech or TurtleBeach they've given off way better sound at a much lower cost. I've tried fiddling with my sound card and adjusting the EQ in there but the difference was minimal.

That is my only complaint, other than that the headset does what it's supposed to. I hope corsair doesn't hate me for this but it seems they've focused too much on the exterior/design of this headset. I wish it had better output.

Overall Review: Price is a bit steep, I thought otherwise BEFORE receiving mine. Corsair makes premium quality gaming hardware peripherals but I think this one falls short of that. The sound is clean and crisp and not fit for me. It may be for others but just keep that in mind if you are after bass. After adjusting the EQ the bass either gets distorted or static occurs.

I own a MM200 and K70 from them and love it, I would never switch to anything else.
