Corsair Void RGB Elite Wireless Headset Review

How Much Does it Cost?

The Corsair VOID RGB Elite Wireless Gaming Headset is available now for just £109.99 in Carbon (black), that’s the one we reviewed. Or, for the same price, you can get the lovely white version, pictured above. That’s not a bad price given the improvements to the microphone and drivers, and it’s only £20 more than the older model, which is around two years old now. For a premium wireless gaming headset, it’s not a “bargain” but it’s certainly a competitive option.

Overview

Corsair can do no wrong when it comes to their peripherals, or at least, it certainly seems that way. They haven’t done a whole lot to the Elite, and certainly not enough for existing Corsair Void owners to upgrade their existing models. However, for newcomers, this is the one to get and I suspect it’ll slowly replace the older model entirely in the not-too-distant future.

Better is Better

While the headset has the same design it had two years ago, it still looks modern and properly cool. The Carbon version we had is ultra-sleek and stealthy looking, while the white model looks crisp and cool. All Corsair has done is strip out the electronics and fit some improved drivers and a new microphone. The end result is a headset that’s just a bit better than it was before, and the old model still sounds pretty great too, so it wasn’t an easy improvement to make.

Added Value

The wireless technology is superb, it’s easily one of the things Corsair is best at. I had zero issues with connectivity, latency or anything like that really. The sound was as powerful and clear as I could have asked for. Plus, with it being wireless, you’re free from the shackles of nasty cables. At least until the battery runs low, which should be 12-16 hours depending on how hard you push the volume up. Add to that some fantastic iCUE software for tinkering with the EQ and RGB, and you’ve got a pretty sweet deal here.

Should I Buy One?

Corsair are in a strong position with their latest gaming headset. It’s a nice improvement on the older model and the price is pretty competitive. It’s a bit cheaper than rival offerings such as the SteelSeries Arctis 7, Logitech G Pro X, and Turtle Beach 700, which would be the closest match for features and specifications. Highly recommended, again!
