CorsairVOID RGB ELITE Wireless Gaming Headset - 7.1 Surround Sound - Discord Certified - iCUE Compatible - PC, Mac, PS5, PS4 - White

As an avid gamer and have been through my fair share of variety of headsets. This was an immediate purchase after my last headset broke and needed something quick with next day shipping and wouldn't break the bank. I found these Corsair and thought they would just be a right now headset until I get a new, better pair. What I didn't expect was for them to be great quality! The design is well done and they don't hurt sitting on my head for hours on end. My ears don't ache after an hour. The sound quality is amazing, I play a variety of games but was impressed with the sound quality when it came to games where sound mattered like certain jump scare games and such. The connection to the PC is almost instantaneous after turning them on which is great! The battery life lasts a while. I play games for about 7ish per day during the week and even more on the weekends, typically have to charge once a week. The sleek design and setup allows them to be plugged in and charging while using with no interruptions. These have now become my go to recommendation for gaming headset!

I bought these headphones because I needed an affordable pair, so I went with Amazon Warehouse Deals. I've found some great deals there and only got burned once, but they accepted the return, so it was no big deal. These headsets are really impressive. You'd have to seriously abuse them to cause any damage. They're lightweight and feel comfortable on your head, with enough space so your ears don't touch the sides. This makes them perfect for long gaming sessions without causing ear discomfort. I can't believe how inexpensive these headsets are—the build quality is solid and robust, and the sound is surprisingly good. During dinners and gaming sessions, the sound is immersive, with clear audio that lets me hear everything around me, like enemies sneaking up behind me. Normally, you'd pay a lot more for build quality like this. They stay cool on the ears, and I haven't had any issues with sweating while gaming. Overall, I think they're a fantastic value and should last for years.

This has become my go to headsets. This is my third pair. First pair I bought in 2017, but gave it away to my daughter because she needed a pair of headsets and those are still in use. My second pair I bought in 2023 and that went through a lot of abuse and lasted up until the charging port got damaged when it was dropped while charging. Battery life is really good, lasting 8 hours or so. Sound quality is very good, especially for games that support surround sound. Only thing I wish is an updated charging port to USB C. Other than that, I find it to be my perfect headset for gaming

We have all had really terrible headset mics. Either the headset itself is uncomfortable, tinny, or breaks if you look at it funny, or the mic has you sounding like a WW2 dispatch officer. This is not those headphones.If you call yourself an audiophile, or need something with studio quality noise, I do not recommend this, and for that it loses a star in sound quality. Its certainly far from awful, and frankly I feel most people will experience nothing but good things coming from this headset. You should NOT be expecting audiophile quality at this price point, so this is not why I chose 4 out of five stars overall.First off, these headphones are pretty balanced as far as low to high frequencies, while not being extremely good at either. This DOES mean it gives you better sound quality, and so long as you mix correctly on your end, you will experience the details of whatever you are trying to listen to. At its maximum, its definitely not as loud as some headsets I have had, but I have never struggled to get a louder sound from these during normal use (gaming, movies, or music)These are not active noise canceling headphones, but the ear cushions are a comfortable and snug size that don't fit extremely tight (more on that in a bit) so it does about what I'd expect from a standard over-ear headset would insofar as noise canceling goes. You're not gonna shut off the world with these, but you will turn it far enough down to enjoy whatever you need to enjoy.The advertised 7.1 surround sound capability is a virtual one (so it doesn't have those special quad drivers or whatever) and it works pretty well when configured correctly, certainly enough to pinpoint directions of noise in games. For people who struggle to test virtual surround sound, try turning your headphones backwards for a bit. You'd be surprised how you can sort of reset your senses this way. Be sure to turn them the right way though or you'll be having a very confused time lol.The input quality (mic) is pretty good, and unlike with other headsets I have had, it filters out white noises and extraneous noises pretty well (as well as breathing and typing noises, the bane of headset mics the world over) which probably has a lot to do with both the windscreen that comes with it and my first complaint about the product.The mic is rigid and only folds up from a joint connected to your left ear speaker. This seemed fine, at first, until my own voice sometimes was too quiet in game chats or didn't always pick up when I have "detect voice" settings on. This can likely be fixed if I tune everything correctly individually and I have made an effort, but since this is not always the case with headsets and removing the windscreen only made it pick up more external noises, I'm including it in my complaints. Either its too far from my mouth hole or not sensitive enough, but its an occasional hassle to be wary of. At least I'm not blowing out my friend's ears when the game gets intense.Beyond that, I have some friends using Yeti and other stand mics who sound far worse than I do, which is likely because that havent spent the few hours needed to tweak and test their own settings. You will likely not have to do that for this, outside of quick adjustments for your own output volume.My second and final complaint is that these are definitely made for bigger heads. I don't have a small head by any means, so take me at my word that these will fit over hats, big hair, or just a big old noggin. I often feel it getting loose and try to tighten it (which is easy enough, btw) only to find that at its tightest it angles the ear pieces slightly, while not fitting as snug as I would like. I am likely used to headphones with higher tension in the band than these, but it should be noted. As implied before, these can also struggle to keep the size you set it at, but considering how little labor is required to fix it, its not a huge complaint.Its managing software is pretty unobtrusive and easy to use, and its much better than Razer and other accessory softwares I've been forced to deal with.Its Corsair, so the quality is pretty good and its taken a decent amount of stress since I've gotten it, as I can be reckless with my accessories. It also has a good looking design that isn't blasted with Gamer lights so if you appreciate sleek appliances with a touch of flair then these are perfect. The have adjustable lights with the corsair logo that you can turn off, flash, change colors, or keep on. The standard light options.tl;dr at this price point this is the best pair of headphones I have had for casual use. With only minor complaints I would happily buy this model again rather than taking a risk on another pair of similar price. If you want extremely high sound quality, you're going to have to spend more than this, but for most people this will be high tier.
