Pros: I tested the Corsair Void Surround Hybrid Stereo Gaming Headset with the included Dolby 7.1 USB Sound adapter. These headphones are also available in a version without the Dolby 7.1 surround adapter and a battery powered wireless Bluetooth version. The headphones include a flip down microphone for communicating with a gaming partner. The red universal headset I received had a single 3.5mm stereo pin plug with one tip connector and three ring connections. These consist of: left and right stereo channels, a microphone output ring contact and a grounding ring contact. So being an electronic tech I’m looking at this pin plug and wondering how the heck do they get 7.1 surround sound with only two audio connections. So I did some research on the Internet. Turtle Beach a longtime PC sound card manufacturer had a nice video on YouTube that made it all clear with animations and audio demos. Do yourself a favor and do a search on YouTube for “Turtle Beach Surround Sound Demo”. The keyword regarding the Dolby surround system used with these headphones is the word “hybrid.” In all truthfulness there is only a single 50mm neodymium driver in each headphone cup, that’s it. Yes these are just plain old stereo headphones and nothing else special except for the added microphone. The secret to the surround effect is in the shape of the human earlobes. By emphasizing sounds in front of you and attenuating sounds from behind the head, your ear lobes allow you to localize where a sound originated from. Hybrid surround sound uses science to electronically process the audio signal output by your game or other stereo source to fool your brain into thinking these headphones are 7.1 surround capable when they really aren’t. The included Dolby USB Surround adapter is the secret sauce that makes all of this science actually work. Dolby Labs by carefully tweaking delay and reflection timing (echo effects), does a pretty convincing job of fooling your brain into thinking sounds are originating from behind and to the sides of your head. In fact you can plug any stereo headphone set into the included Dolby 7.1 Surround audio adapter and achieve pretty much the same surround effects. The effect is called ambiance. The best recordings result from using a dummy head with plastic earlobes and microphones mounted where the ear canals would normally be. These binaural recordings contain the added ambiance signals that the Dolby surround processor can use to decode and to recreate the original audio environment. I compared the sound of the Void headphones to another pair of Panasonic Technics RP-DH1200 DJ headphones that I own. The Voids had a muddier bass and less sparkle in the upper treble range by comparison. Audiophiles would say the Voids were more polite sounding than the DJ headphones and they are. The Voids were also more comfortable to wear for extended listening sessions. The Voids seem to be optimized more to the human voice range, which makes perfect sense considering their intended purpose. In listening tests my wife preferred the Voids to the Technics. The Voids were smoother sounding and less sensitive than the Technics headphones. Corsair should consider selling the Dolby Surround adapter as a separate stand-alone item. Just the cure for older laptops and desktop users who would like an inexpensive way to upgrade their PC sound systems.

Cons: Overall I liked the Void headphones. However there were a few weak areas. The microphone did a poor job of picking up my voice. I had to bend it inward so the tip was pointing at my mouth in order for it to pickup my voice properly. The mike boom is made out of a rather springy plastic material and the microphone kept unbending, back outward away from my mouth, requiring frequent readjustments. On the good side it stayed-up when not in use. It can also be switched-off when not needed. The Corsair Utility Engine was a rather clunky piece of software. I should not have to go to three different places to control one set of headphones. Having to hunt down the sound icon in the control panel to choose the default audio device was a waste of time. This should have all been controllable from the Corsair Utility. The other audio features should have likewise been better integrated into the Corsair Utility. Many of the features lacked logic on their placements in the Corsair Utility. The menu system was kind of a mishmash affair. The Corsair Utility should have been more easily accessible from the notification bar.

Overall Review: When I first connected the Dolby Audio adapter I could not get any sound out of it. With Windows 7 you have to dedicate a default audio adapter. Sorry, but MS will not allow you to run two adapters at the same time. Maybe this has been fixed in Windows 10, unfortunately my Win10 system is at the manufacturer being repaired, so I can’t test this theory at the moment. (The audio jack popped off the motherboard). Since my Asus Xonar was my default audio adapter I had to go into the Sound icon in the Win7 Control Panel and designate the new Corsair Dolby Surround adapter as the new default audio device. After that and locating the partially hidden volume control under the left headphone cup; suddenly everything started to work properly. The Dolby audio driver allows you to control the amount of sidetone volume that is reproduced by the headphones. Sidetone has been around since the early days of telephony and the invention of the hybrid coil. When you speak into a land line telephone mouthpiece, a small amount of your voice is instantly fed back to the handset earphone, so you can hear yourself speaking. This feedback tells you the phone is working correctly and prevents people from speaking too loudly into the receiver and hurting the person’s ears on the other end of the line. It’s a simple form of feedback. The amount used on land-line phones is only about 8%. I found a setting of about 50% worked good with the Void microphone/headset. The microphone has its low-end frequency response limited to 100 Hz. This is probably done to prevent puffing and wind noises caused by your breathing from disrupting the vocal audio quality. That is a good design compromise based on its intended function. This headset should be very useful for VoIP and for use with Skype. Since I am not a big gamer I listened to various audio sources to get an idea of how the Voids performed. There are some nice test videos on YouTube that will sweep just about any audio frequency range you could ask for. There are bass tests that start at 10 Hz and sweep up to 100 Hz. Other videos covered the mid-range and treble ranges. I also listened to MP4 video and MP3 audio files. I listened to a video on YouTube from an album called “Gift Wrapped” 20 Songs That Keep On Giving by Regina Spektor. The particular test track I listened to is called “My Dear Acquaintance [A Happy New year].” Yes its holiday music. But the recording quality is amazing on this track. On a high-end audio system the sound staging makes it sound like Regina is in the same room singing to you. The track starts out with the sounds of a helicopter flying over an urban war zone and then her piano is brought in. My subwoofer loves the deep bass of the helicopter blades swooshing overhead. The helicopter then fades away and you hear Regina singing her lyrics while playing the piano. There are sounds of mayhem in the background, including distant explosions, gunfire, Etc. (Not unlike gaming, eh). The sound staging on this minimally miked recording is outstanding. So it makes an excellent audio test for both headphones and speakers. On the Voids the initial helicopter sounded somewhat muted. On the Technics it’s a little better, but the deep bass output by my den subwoofer put both headsets to shame. Headphones obviously have their limitations. Another track I listened to was Vangelis Titans (ArtoriusMix) from the motion picture Alexander. This is an extremely dynamic movie sound track. The horns sounded strained and started to breakup on the Void (at high volumes - not recommended), yet sounded pretty natural on the Technics. The Technics seemed to have more dynamic range than the Voids. This track can also be found on YouTube. Overall I liked the Corsair Void Surround Hybrid Stereo Gaming Headset. The USB 7.1 Dolby Surround adapter was an amazing little piece of micro electronics. I have used other similar USB sound systems in the past, but this one blows those away. The headphones were comfortable to wear for extended periods, and while they are not audiophile quality, they provided fully adequate sound quality for their intended gaming purpose. Given their price point I would highly recommend them.

Pros: Sleek styling Very comfortable Velour pads Great sound quality @ this price point Surprisingly solid bass Virtual 7.1 surround that does a decent job of simulating surround sound Solid microphone Light weight Great software that works perfectly with windows 10 Gets fairly loud

Cons: Corded but that really can't be held against it considering it is a corded headset. Could get a bit louder but honestly it is loud enough. Volume dial on headset doesn't control windows volume. That is something I've gotten used to but I can live with the lack of it.

Overall Review: I'm a headphone nut. I have more headphones than one person should. Mine range from $70 to $1200 and everything in between. That is just my headphones. I have owned many headsets as well and currently have four pair laying around. My point is I feel I'm well qualified to recommend one headset over another. I'm currently listening to the Corsair Gaming VOID and enjoying them. They are not the best I have used but considering the cost I am quite pleased with it. Right now I have this and the Logitech G930 hooked up and the Corsair is by far the better sounding and more comfortable headset. Let’s talk about the G930 real quick. Sound quality is decent but by no means good. The software has loads of bugs and does not work properly with windows 10. I cannot use the virtual surround sound due to the software bugs and the sound output that Logitech does not seem to care about. The only way to get decent sound output (louder volume) is to disable the Logitech drivers and activate Microsoft audio driver. Now back to the Corsair headset. Everything works! Software installs and works perfectly. Once installed the software detected a firmware update for the headset and allowed me to quickly download and install. I thought that was very cool. Everything works as intended with windows 10 and I have not experienced a single issue. I usually prefer wireless headsets but I have to admit that this one by Corsair performs so well that I don't mind the cord as much as I thought I would. The mic works great. My friends say they can hear me clearly and that is all that matters to me. It works as it should. Sound quality is one thing that your typical headset lacks and this Corsair compared to a decent set of stereo headphones still falls short but when compared to headsets it sounds really nice. There are multiple sound profiles in software such a movie. pure, bass, chat, etcetera. This provides a slight change. The Dolby virtual surround sound works really well with movies and games. Much better than some other headsets I have used and all in all it really adds some excitement to my listening experience. In stereo mode it still sounds good. It tends to be on the somewhat neutral side in pure mode with a slight boost in the lower frequency range. It is by no means a bass machine but the bass it does have is clean at normal to higher volumes. Clean highs that do not shrill and a mid-range that performs admirably considering the price point. Listening to some acoustic music and I have a smile on my face. Very clean sounding. Next I tossed on some pop and rock and in both cases this headset didn't let me down compared to other headsets I own and have used over the years. It has pretty thumping bass without bloat. Big bass music does muddy the lower mid-range slightly but again at this price point I wouldn't expect better. It sounds good. Less bass heavy music shine on these cans though. Gaming is great. The sound is perfect for sitting for a few hours playing my favorite games and the virtual surround sounds works well in any game I throw at it. Let's face it; virtual surround will not replace a nice 5.1 or 7.1 speaker system but when the wife is sleeping these cans get the job done nicely. I'll end this review by stating this: This is one of the cheaper headsets I own at the moment and currently at the top of my list. Solid sound quality, comfortable and the mic works well. This headset is not perfect and better can be had but it is far better than most junk out there. All in all I'm impressed considering the low price point. If you don't want to spend more money then you could do a lot worse than the Corsair VOID gaming headset. Virtual surround sound debate aside, (you either love it or hate it); it just works well and sounds great!

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: The Corsair Gaming VOID headset is a great set compared to other $75-100 options: Dolby 7.1 USB adapter included that offers great surround sound feedback in compatibile games, movies, or any audio source. Much higher than average volume and clarity for a headset. Good quality microphone; recording multiple voice samples all came out perfectly audible even at high volumes. Corsair Utility Engine software has an easy interface for setting up multiple sound profiles using their built-in equalizer. Also comes with some preconfigured profiles for movies, games, music, etc that will sound great for most users. The micro-fiber ear pads are very comfortable even when used for extended periods. Also generate much less heat/sweat than vinyl, pleather, or leather options. Mic mute button works good and is easy to locate while wearing. Nice length 3.5mm cable, I measured at just about 6 feet.

Cons: The headband causes some discomfort rather quickly but not enough to cause pain or irritability. Hopefully Corsair will offer more padding and/or a flatter plastic surface in future sets. At max volume the sound escaping the headphones is rather loud. I can hear the audio from across the house while being worn. Same with outside sounds while wearing; if the volume is low-medium I can hear everything going on in the area.

Overall Review: The microphone arm feels like it could break off rather easily. I would much rather have a retractable mic to avoid this and to make cord wrapping, transporting and storage much easier. I have had bad experiences with soft rubber cables like the ones the Gaming VOID uses. Many over the years have torn and broken very easily on me. Braided cables are always better in my opinion. The aesthsetic design is rather odd. A more simple design would be better. These almost look like they were designed after a helmet from Starship Troopers. Compared to the Steelseries 5Hv3 I was using which were almost the same price at launch: the Gaming VOID has nearly 3x the volume, much much better sound quality even at max volume, has surround sound option, is much more comfortable, feels much more resilient to wear, and has Corsair customer support(which I have great experiences with many times) vs Steelseries support(total lack of it).

Pros: Overall, decent sounding headphones. It has a very flat EQ. This set is meant for gaming, and maybe only gaming, which is made clear from the model name, marketing, RGB LEDs, and sound of the headphones. For music, I found myself turning on the bass booster in the software settings for electronic music. Rock-n-roll sounded better with the default settings. You can customize all preset EQ settings and make your own EQ profiles. Headset’s volume rocker controls Windows’ volume which is nice because then keyboard buttons, headset buttons, and software controls are all in sync with each other. Software allows you to toggle an option to set how long the mute button activates the mic mute. Mute button is nice and large and easy to find. Aesthetic design – deviating from the standard look of headsets Software allows you to choose colors, blinking patterns, and brightness Ear cups turn to adjust to your head or to lay flat on a table.

Cons: Microphone seems weak in my opinion and can’t be moved closer to the face. You must rely on software do the loudening for you… I have mine turned up all the way and think it could still be louder. In-game options may allow you to turn the mic up even louder. The mute-light on the microphone isn’t visible to user! It’s visible to other people around you, but you must tilt the mic towards your face to know if mute/mute-light is activated! What’s the point?! Just like the RGB LEDs, this feature is apparently for show, and of little utility to the user. The volume rocker adjusts the volume VERY SLOWLY. If you put the headset on with blasting music and relied on the rocker to put the volume to a normal level, you’d be deaf by the time the volume was adjusted. Repeatedly pressing down is supposed to quicken how long it takes to reduce volume, but after practicing this a for a while and only getting it to work a few times just made me notice the flimsy the build quality of the volume toggle. Long pressing on the volume rocker makes the headset beep a few times. I consulted the manual/quick start guide that comes with the headset to figure out what was happening. It had a section on volume adjustment but fails to mention this feature. The tiny booklet has a few pages of completely useless information, such as where the LEDs, mic, and cable are located on the headset. I had to go online to figure out that the inward press changes the EQ profile, but I would have preferred it to be a silence button. The cord is short in my opinion. Plugging into a monitor or keyboard, the cord length is OK, but if you need to plug into a desktop which is on the floor, or slightly far away could cause trouble. The cord is hard-wired into the headset and not removable or replaceable – this is a point of failure on many headsets. Thick cord isn’t exactly comfortable resting against bare skin – the thinner braided cable of the SteelSeries 9H is more texturally pleasing, lighter, and more maneuverable. All cord complaints could be mitigated if you opt for the wireless version of this headset

Overall Review: This headset compliments my K70 RGB LED keyboard. As with the RGB keyboard, the “16.8 million colors” has been disputed and debunked. Why continue to advertise something that is not true? You will get 512 colors (still plenty! but a far cry from millions) out of these products. Many headsets seem quieter over USB. But the SteelSeries 9H also has the option of plugging into a 2.5mm jack which is a nice feature if you want to use the headset on any other device but a computer. The 2.5mm jack also makes the 9H headphones louder. Microphone is flexible but it doesn’t hold its shape to where you put it – you can’t bend the mic towards your mouth. Must move it up to remove it from your field of view. Removable or retractable mics are a plus – a nod to the 9H, again. This headset ‘fits’ me on the smallest setting and when I look down, they slide around (don’t clamp right against my head). With most headsets I’ve used, I usually need a couple clicks away from smallest setting – this model is probably better suited for people with larger heads. Corsair put effort into the aesthetics of these headphones but more work could be done to improve the utility (mic light placement), comfort (fitting more head sizes), and overall usability (better documentation). 7.1 surround sound is always a tall claim for me to buy into with a headset, but all companies do this these days. Companies offer software that is supposedly able to accomplish surround sound with headphones as simple as earbuds.

Pros: Excellent looks. Great feel and a great weight. Very comfortable even for extended use. Can hear things going on around me while the headsets are on. Very durable design for the ear cups, band and mic. Software mixer is ok and still ties into the same software for your other Corsair products. Price is fair for the quality of this set.

Cons: Tough here to really find a con for these. They’re not $300 so I’m not expecting them to be. Really for the price point, there is not really anything I could find to knock on it.

Overall Review: My first take on these when I pulled them out was “these feel cheap” but after using them for a while that changed to “these are awesome”. I bent them and twisted them and nothing broke, they just went right back to their original shape. The only thing that happened when I was twisting the headset (well beyond what should happen under normal use) was the padding in the strap popped out. But nothing was damaged, just popped it back into place and went on using them. Usually not a huge fan of cloth but it really works on this headset. My first take was that it was going to get really hot inside the ear pieces but it didn’t get as bad as I originally thought. After a few hours of constant use, I really had nothing bad to say about the headsets. They are not super light but definitely not the heaviest I’ve used. I love that these headsets can be used as regular headsets. You can plug them directly into a phone or a media player and use them like any other headset. They don’t rely on any outside forms of power like a USB port to function. The ear cups fold in to allow the headset to lie flat on a table, fold up to sit flat on a wall if hung up or to be slid into a tight compartment. I really like that feature a lot. I really thought I was going to hate the mute button being on the ear piece because I could not see it and out have it on mute and not know it. Or not being able to visibly see if it was on or off. But the mute button has a really nice tactile response that is easy to tell by a finger press if it is on or off. The on press feels very different turning it on than pressing it to turn it off. And the volume control wheel is placed well and is easy to find when gaming. The mic is another feature I felt that they did very well on. Most mics have a standard resistance applied to the boom that allows you to position the mic at any angle you want and then it just stays there. The problem is that over time it wears out and the boom fails to stay in the right position and often keeps falling down. This boom is more like a ratchet or a socket positioning. So you lock it into place and if you want to lower it, you basically move it into the next position slot. This should prove to give you the right position after a year or so of use compared to the booms which just use resistance to hold the mic. Also the boom might look ridged but it is flexible and can be bent into a position that fits you. Another thing that I noticed was the amount of outside noise I was able to hear with the headsets on. On some headsets you can barely hear anything that’s going on around you, like you are in a bubble when you put them on. I’m assuming this has to do with the cloth ear cushions but they do let in a decent amount of outside noise. Depending on what your preference is, that could be a good thing or a bad thing. The audio was good on these headsets, although not great. I felt like for the price they provided excellent audio quality, but there are better I’ve used. Granted those cost a lot more than these do, I still loved and appreciated the quality of the audio from this set. What I’m saying is expect good audio for sure, but don’t expect $300 headset quality either.

Pros: - The sound is really good. Not great, just really good. For something competing in this price range I honestly feel you're getting exactly the quality of sound you'd expect from the cans. - Very comfy during 3+ hours of gaming. They never felt hot or uncomfortable. - 7.1 reproduction is great despite not being a true 7.1 headset. Once you get the rather underwhelming software configured you're good to go. Pick the profile (equalizer settings) you like, enable 7.1, and game on. - Mic quality is just as good as its older more expensive brother however the mute button leaves something to be desired. (more on this in the cons) - Volume control on the headset. Standard feature for any gaming headset. - USB adapter just makes life easy.

Cons: - The mic mute button feels kind of cheap and doesn't entirely mute the mic. It sounds like you're talking through sheet rock when it's muted. Very low and muffled but people can make out what you're saying. So watch what you say when you think it's muted! - Odd fit. So a few months ago I got to review the Corsair Gaming VOID Wireless RGB Gaming Headset. (The older brother I was talking about above; Item N82E16826816048) The design of the cans make both headsets sit an inch or so further back on my head then my other headset so they're not pinching my ears. Not uncomfortable, just feels strange. Like moving your car seat up a few inches, it won't stop you from driving but it doesn't feel quite right. I won't deduct an egg for it, but it's definitely worth mentioning.

Overall Review: If you have the money (and possibly patience to nab it on sale) I would hands down choose the VOID Wireless RGB headset over this one. It doesn't mean this headset is bad, it's just that I personally prefer wireless sets and I really do feel that one is worth the premium. With that out of the way, I really like this headset. I've gotten so spoiled with wireless sets that I forget how convenient the wired ones are when you don't need to remember to charge them. Nothing more annoying then that beep on my other set letting me know the battery is low right in the middle of a game. These sets come in several different colors so pick the one you like, assuming a mid-range headset is what you're in the market for, and game on.

Pros: As a qualifier, I will start by saying I have A LOT of headphones and gaming headsets. I personally own competing 7.1 gaming headsets (Logitech G430, Logitech G930, and Corsair H1500), and I also own several reference quality studio headphones. My best at the moment are a planar magnetic (orthodynamic) set that cost many times more than this Corsair gaming headset. That said, I don’t expect this Corsair headset to offer audiophile quality. I can, however, use my other headphones as a reference for what a headphone, or headset, is capable of. Now, this Corsair VOID headphone is good in that it comes with its own USB DAC. You plug it into a USB port and your computer sees it as a standalone audio device. If you have been suffering with low end motherboard bundled sound, then you'll see an immediate improvement. If you have a high end motherboard with a better sound chip you probably won't hear any improvement. One thing this headset has that none of my other USB 7.1 headsets have is Dolby implementation. Specifically, it uses Dolby Pro Logic IIx. Because of this, Windows sees the headset as a 2 channel stereo headset. All of my other 7.1 headsets are seen by windows as 7.1 speakers, not two. When Dolby processing is enabled, this headset takes stereo audio and will matrix it into virtual 7.1 surround sound. The effect works well in some instances, but not others. When enabled, the soundstage is artificially expanded and can sound very echo-y like being in an acoustically poor auditorium. Sounds that should only be heard on the left or right in standard stereo will have audio cues all over the place. This effect has a negative effect on directing audio sources in 3D games like FPS titles. Comfort. Corsair has redesigned the earcup shape from their previous headsets and they've also decreased the weight. The result is a much more comfortable headset than the tank-like H1500. I wear glasses. This headset is the most comfortable headset in my stable with respect to glasses. In comparison, my Logitech G930 earcups press against the ends of my glasses making frequent adjustments necessary. Also, the mesh material on Corsair's earcups breathe far better than the pleather material of the G930 headset. Better breathing means less sweat and heat buildup. The 50 mm drivers on this headset sound big, because they are. In comparison, the Logitech headsets only have 40 mm drivers. The sound is more dynamic and explosions have a better punch to them. It's not as boomy as Corsair's H1500 headset though, which could be a good thing depending on what you're looking for.

Cons: Now the bad. I find the mic boom poorly implemented. The boom is too long, is springy instead of holding position when bent, and the mic doesn't pick up my voice as good as my other headsets. Another slight against the mic is the mute. There's a big button for mute on one of the earcups. That's fine. However, after using Logitech's more elegant solution it seems very clumsy and inferior. Logitech makes it simple: lift the boom and mute is on, drop the boom and mute is off. Another area where Logitech's G930/G35 is superior is the volume control. Logitech's rolling barrel on the earcup is easy to find and allows much better fine-tuning. The Corsair VOID uses a thin rocker-style switch on the very back of the earcup that I had to fumble around to find each time and once found the control is clumsy. I consistently overshot my desired volume up or down or mistakenly turned off Dolby processing while using the rocker switch.
