Problem 1: Corsair Void Pro Mic Not Working.Problems you May Face While Using Corsair Void Pro Headset.It’s not the first headset I’d reach for, and I’d personally recommend the extra $50 for Logitech’s G533, but if you want wireless capabilities and don’t want to spend more than $100, then the Void Pro is a worthwhile option. Even more so, now that the microphone is up to par. But for $100 and wireless, the Void Pro is more than good enough for the average person. Bottom lineĪnd that’s the catch, right? Like I said with the original Void, you can easily get better audio-both from cheaper wired headsets and more expensive wireless ones. I typically prefer a headset that sounds good by default, not one where I have to muck around in the EQ, but well, it’s $100.

Like the original Void, Corsair’s CUE software is flexible enough to give the Void Pro a decent bass presence and sharpen the muffled high-end.
The mid-range is clear though, and that’s a solid foundation for the user to then EQ upon. It lacks the roominess of something like the HyperX Cloud or Logitech’s G933. Audio can also sound muffled at times, especially music where there are lots of complicated tracks layered on top of each other. Even at low volumes, whatever you’re listening to can be clearly heard in a quiet space.Īside from that minor mechanical issue, the Void Pro is brighter-sounding than your average gaming headset, with a default sound profile that’s light on the bass. First and foremost, the ears still leak a lot of sound-not great if you’re in a shared living space situation. Again, it’s a bit of a “flaws and all” situation. It’s better on the plosives front too, picking up fewer secondary noises-good for anyone who doesn’t use push-to-talk.Īs for playback, not much has changed. The new Void Pro mic is more natural-sounding, more in line with what I’d expect from a headset in 2018. A headset microphone just needs to be “good enough,” considering most users are only using it for in-game voice chat, but Corsair barely met even that low bar before. As I said, the original Void’s microphone sounded like you were talking through a cell phone or a walkie talkie. The Void Pro is better on both counts, though it’s the fidelity that counts most. Second, it has a bad habit of picking up any and all plosives.” First, the range is pretty narrow and it sounds like you’re talking through a cell-phone mic. If that microphone sucks, then why bother?Īnd the original Void’s microphone sucked. Ostensibly the reason you’re buying a gaming headset and not a comparably priced (and probably better sounding) pair of headphones is because you want the convenience of a built-in microphone. On the other hand that’s easily rectified by buying (or just scrounging up) a longer microUSB cable. Either way, it’s usually enough to get through the day without needing a charge-though when I did need the charging cable mid-day I was annoyed at how short it is. Battery life is also decent, with around 12 hours of battery when lit up and 16-ish when dark.
IDG / Adam Patrick MurrayĬorsair’s RGB lighting remains still top-notch, and easily controlled through software. The headband also slants forward a bit, which balances its weight better than some other headsets. While sporting a bit more plastic than some of its competitors, the reinforced metal headband gives it a decent heft. The Void Pro is otherwise pretty solid though. I wish Corsair could find a similar compromise, because it’s the main issue I have with the Void line. You eventually get used to it, but other headsets (like the HyperX Cloud Alpha) manage to feel both comfortable and secure. This, combined with the Void Pro’s oversized kite-shaped ears and slick mesh padding, contributes to weirdly precarious feeling-as if the headset might fall off at any moment.
