Corsair Void Wireless: This Headset Is Your Best Bet If You Must Go Wireless

ONCE UPON A time, a wireless gaming headset would cost you $300.

- Hayden Dingman

That’s quite a premium, considering you can find a quality wired headset for under $100.

But over the last few years, the push for affordable wireless headsets has grown. Corsair in particular has spearheaded the push for cheaper wireless, and the Void Wireless (corsair.com/void) is its latest iteration. The price is phenomenal—only $100 on Amazon (go.pcworld.com/ corsairvoidamz) (and sometimes even less)—but it’s so low that it’s hard not to be suspicious. Can you really get a quality wireless headset for that cheap?

An unconventional approach

The answer is “sort of.” It’s important to point out that I think the Void Wireless is a solid improvement on Corsair’s previous wireless model, the H2100—and not just because Corsair ditched the tribal tattoo logo and went back to the traditional trio of sails.

It’s a markedly better design. Weird, for sure—the ear cups are kite-shaped rather than round, which looks odd. But the Void Wireless feels solid, with metal hinges and a padded metal headband that sits slightly forward on the head. I wasn’t a huge fan at first, but it helps offset the weight of the set.

Yes, the Void Wireless is heavy. Not just heavier than your average wired set, but heavier-feeling than its wireless competitors, too. And while the forward slanted band alleviates the problem a bit, it still has a tendency to slip around if you look down.

That being said, it’s comfortable enough for long gaming sessions. The ears are a bit on the small side, and you should expect to play around with the headband adjustments until you get the ear cups situated perfectly, but once you do there should be little to no tension on your jaw. The band controls most of the fit.
