It has been ten years since Corsair released the first Void Wireless headset. Given how quickly tech brands refresh hardware these days, this is quite an impressive achievement. Not only does it show Corsair’s commitment to its customer base but it also speak levels of the brand’s product quality. If you have owned a Void Wireless Headset, you know it is just superb, but it did need some new tech and now it does – enter the Corsair Void Wireless V2.
Watch this review below
Corsair sent this headset to me early to test it out before the world even knew the product was real. To be part of this historical moment is tech is pretty cool so thanks to the brand for that. We’re going to jump right into this review and test out exactly what makes this V2 so great… and maybe not-so-great.
The Corsair Void Wireless V2 comes in two versions. You get the black headset and this white version. Apart from the colour on the outside, the headsets preform exactly the same except for perhaps needing to be a little cleaner of a person if you’re choosing to go with the white.
In the box you get the Corsair Void Wireless V2 headset, a power cable that matches the headset colour and the wireless dongle which is also meant to match the headset colour but mine was black for some reason. That’s pretty much it here. The headset is neatly packed in a fabric cover and if you care about the warranty information, you’ll find the document here too.
The Corsair Void Wireless V2 features a familiar design. The ear cups are fairly large and each include an RGB strip down the front. The entire build is plastic which is expected. This means it is lightweight at only 303 grams. The plastic design does mean it has a few nasty seams here and there. The ear cup arms especially have a long seam that travels up the shaft. But I guess that’s forgivable when you look at the price of the headset.
You’ll also find a Corsair logo on both ear cups. It is in silver and looks really sleek. The ear cups are then made of a memory foam padding for extra comfort. You’ll find the same foam on the headband. Speaking of the headband, it is fairly thick and also includes the Corsair logo.
Other features on the Corsair Void Wireless V2 include an arm microphone that can be bent outwards and folded up towards the earcup. This action also doubles up as mute toggle for the headset. So when you want to mute the mic, you simply need to fold the arm upwards. The mic can also be warped slightly to rotate it towards your mouth. It is pretty much as typical as you can expect.
Lastly, there is the USB C port of charging and wired support and the two functional buttons which I will get into in a bit. You’ll also find the volume rocker under the headset. This is literally a rocker that you tilt back and forth to increase and decrease the volume. The rocker can also be pushed in and acts as a button which is another cool feature I will get into in a bit.
I think the overall design of the Corsair Void Wireless V2 is quite nice. It is kind of that design that you can likely see lasting another 10 years. It looks modern while at the same time, is incredibly comfortable. While plastic, it also feels quite sturdy. Even a pull and bend motion on the headset results in zero creaks and cracks across the shell.
I did use the headset in various situations including wearing my glasses and using it without my glasses. In both instances, I found the ear cups quite easy on my head. About an hour in with my glasses on, I did feel a little strain on the side of my head due to the arms digging in but this is usually the case with most headsets.
The ear cups don’t seal as well as I hoped though. They are fairly large and the one corner being sharper in the front of the headset results in a gap between the foam and my jaw. It does mean outside noise does travel through this so keep that in mind. I don’t think the Corsair Void Wireless V2 wants to be a noise cancelling headset so this is forgivable.
So what about the performance? This headset is pretty feature packed. It aims to support virtually every gadget on the market with an included 2.5GHz wireless dongle in the box and built-in Bluetooth connectivity, the headset is incredibly versatile. The only thing you’re missing here is a 3.5mm audio jack but I guess in 2025, it is kind of expected to see the port ditched on modern headsets.
A lot has also changed since 2015 when it comes to audio quality and surround sound. The Corsair Void Wireless V2 also comes with Dolby Atmos out of the box and supports PS5 3D Tempest audio. The microphone is then NVIDIA Broadcast compatible but if you’re not using the headset on PC, the omni-directional mic provides some pretty decent noise cancellation and feedback.
There’s also only two buttons and one volume rocker which is great to see. This results in a simple and approachable user experience without being thrown into the deep end with toggles and knobs.
Setting up the Corsair Void Wireless V2, I first plugged it into my PC and installed the iCUE software. This is important and you’ll need the software to install custom presets and adjust the RGB lights. You’ll also want to install the Dolby Atmos app on Windows 11 if you haven’t already.
The iCUE app is quite helpful. Here, I was able to adjust the RGB strips and assign what Corsair says are the Key Assignments. This let me assign any function to the other button on the headset and the volume rocker button press. These functions range from anything you can think of. I could toggle the RGB presets, change the equaliser, and even add a mute switch to the button so it would override the arm movement.
The custom button assignment is quite a cool feature because it let me change the headset to suit my kind of use. Needless to say, iCUE also let me save EQs to the headset, lighting presets and adjust the microphone levels. But if you don’t have a PC or access to the iCUE software, the Corsair Void Wireless V2 is just as capable.
On PS5, the headset makes use of the PS5 Tempest 3D Audio tech so I could set up a full 3D audio profile and take that into games with me. Sure, there’s no tweaking the equaliser on the PS5 unless you own a PlayStation Pulse headset but the Corsair Void Wireless V2 holds up pretty well. You just need to stick the USB dongle into the console and connect to the headset.
Controlling the headset on PS5 took a minute to get used to. I had to just change both the audio output and microphone input to the dongle, max out the volume of the sound on the console and then tweak it on the headset volume rocker. Apart from that, it was smooth sailing. Other than the odd party chat volume tweak here and there to mix up the volume between game sound and party chat.
The same is said for connecting the headset to multiple devices. The built-in Bluetooth, for example, let me connect the headset to my Nintendo Switch. I then left the dongle in my PS5 or my PC. When the headset was powered on, a quick press of the power button toggled the connection between the dongle and the bluetooth. Once a device is paired, pressing the power button would always change back and forth.
If I was connected to my iPhone using Bluetooth, I could then play music and use the custom button to play and pause songs and skip forward. It would also answer calls when they came in.
So the Corsair Void Wireless V2 is remarkably easy to use and so incredibly versatile. It is something I just set up and didn’t think twice about when using it. I also enjoy the freedom on offer here to really connect it to whatever you want thanks to the dual connection mode.
When it comes to the sound quality, I didn’t expect the best of the best here but I was pleasantly surprised at how powerful this headset is. I was often taken back at the sheer quality of the drivers in this Corsair Void Wireless V2. For a headset priced at $119, it is at times ridiculous.
The headset packs a custom 50mm Neodymium audio driver and it does the job. The driver packs the power when it comes to loud deep sounds with an almost ear rattling audio experience that includes bass and deep treble.
Playing Berserker Khazahn, every swipe of my spear was felt in my ear. The crackling of fire around me rotated around with the camera and delivered fantastic layered sound. I have been playing this game for a few weeks now and the amount of sound effects I didn’t pick up on using my Samsung Q990D Soundbar was at times, scary.
The same can be said for softer sounds. I tested Assassin’s Creed Shadows and a thunderstorm followed by light rain brought the 3D Tempest tech to life on PS5. Granted, in this case I did experience great height sounds with my Atmos soundbar but the headset managed to wrap around my viewport and fill my surroundings with precise raindrops when needed followed by the deep crackling of thunder.
I have absolutely zero complaints here. The Corsair Void Wireless V2 blew me away and I wasn’t expecting audio drivers this rich and powerful in a headset like this. I can’t fault them at all.
The microphone was a similar story. While the tech does struggle to clear up background noise on everything but PC due to the NVIDIA AI stuff, the mic is clean and quite lovely to use.
In the end, I kinda love the Corsair Void Wireless V2. This is a very good headset that ticks a lot of boxes. I delivers versatile connection modes, fantastic audio and a comfortable fit. I would say other headset brands needs to kind of watch their back right now because of this V2 is anything like the first model, it is going to steal away customers for another ten years.
