The Corsair Void RGB Elite Wireless Headset is an update from the Void RGB Pro Wireless. Both headsets have the same appearance with slight differences but, the technology has been changed.
Many times this would lead to a higher-priced product but, in this case, the price practically stayed the same for both headsets.
What is different?
- Increase in headphone frequency and sensitivity
- Now compatible with the PS4
- The Omnidirectional microphone is different from the Pro’s Unidirectional Noise Canceling
- The microphone’s sensitivity is at a different level as well.
Let’s take a look at the technical specifications for the Corsair Void RGB Elite Wireless Headset:
When you open the box, this is what you’ll find inside.
You get the VOID ELITE RGB Wireless Gaming Headset, a wireless USB adapter and USB Charging Cable (1.5m) along with a Quick Start Guide, Safety Leaflet and Warranty Card.
Some of the features that we should point out are the sound that involves custom-tuned 50mm high-density neodymium audio drivers with an expanded frequency range of 20Hz-30,000Hz. and 7.1 surround sound on PC.

The microphone is omnidirectional with a flip-up mute function and a built-in LED mute indicator. One thing that consumers might dislike is the fact the microphone is not detachable.
Also, this Corsair headset comes with customizable RGB lighting that appears on each ear cup and can be controlled by Corsair’s iCUE software.
Along with these features the ear cups also provide on-ear volume and mute controls.
Another notable feature is the fact it is Discord certified and it is said to have a 16-hour battery life. Some feel this headset is a little heavy which becomes a problem for some people.
It would have been nice if it had Bluetooth compatibility with many things becoming more accessible by Bluetooth and other technology.
