Our Verdict
The Corsair Void RGB are decently well-designed gaming headphones. They have a good sound quality, they're comfortable and have very low latency which makes them suitable for critical listening, gaming and watching movies. However, they do not block a lot of noise and leak quite a bit, so they won't be the best headphones to use in public. They're also limited by their UBB transmitter which means they won't be suitable for commuting or sports.
- Comfortable.
- Good audio reproduction.
- Good microphone that filters out noise.
- Bulky design not meant for outdoors.
- Poor noise isolation.
- Leaky at high volumes.
Great for neutral listening. They have a comfortable design, a well-balanced frequency response with a good amount of bass and fair representation of instruments and vocals. They also have a decently spacious soundstage and a good stereo image reproduction which is suitable for both neutral listening and gaming.
Below-average for commuting. The Corsair Void RGB have to be in range of the USB transmitter so they won't be suitable for commuting or traveling, unless you're on a plane or train and using a laptop. Unfortunately, they also do not block a lot of noise so they won't be the best headphones to use on a train either.
Subpar for sports. They have a bulky design that's not stable enough for running or working out. They're also limited by their transmitter so unless your working out indoors they won't be very practical.
Average for office use. They have a comfortable and easy-to-use design you can wear for hours. Unfortunately, the Corsair Void RGB leak quite a bit at higher volumes and won't block the ambient chatter of a noisy office environment.
Good for gaming. The Corsair Void have low latency, an easy-to-use and comfortable wireless design, and a good noise filtering mic. They won't be the best headphones if you have a particularly noisy gaming environment like being at a competition. However, they deliver a decent battery life with power saving features, a good wireless range and a good sound for both gaming and listening to music. They also come with an above-average software that provides a convenient parametric equalizer but feels a bit lacking compared to other gaming headsets.

Popular Headphones Comparisons
The Corsair HS80 RGB WIRELESS are somewhat better for wireless gaming than the Corsair Void PRO RGB Wireless. Their boom mic has a much better recording quality, and they have a somewhat longer continuous battery life. They're also significantly better-built, and you can also use them wired with PCs via USB, while you can't use the Void with a wired connection at all. On the other hand, the Void's boom mic has a much better noise handling performance. They also have lower non-Bluetooth latency.
The SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless 2017 are a better gaming headset than the Corsair Void PRO RGB Wireless. They are better-built headphones and their microphone has better recording quality for online games. You can also use the SteelSeries wired with all platforms, which you can’t do with the Void RGB. The audio quality is noticeably better on the SteelSeries and they are also compatible with a great app that offers an EQ and multiple controls, including surround sound. On the other hand, the Corsair performs more consistently across different users and they have RGB lighting, which the SteelSeries don't have.
The Corsair Void PRO RGB Wireless and the Corsair HS70 Wireless are two very similar gaming headphones, but the HS70 is slightly better. The biggest difference between both is that the HS70 feels more premium and better-built. The cups are also slightly larger. Although it comes in a few color variants, the HS70 doesn't feature full RGB lighting like the Void PRO, and its microphone doesn't sound as good.
The Corsair Void PRO RGB Wireless are better gaming headphones than the Astro A10 Gen 2. While both headphones are comfortable, the Corsair are wireless gaming headphones with low wireless latency, and they support Dolby 7.1, which is a virtual soundstage feature that can create a more immersive sound. They also have companion software that offers a graphic EQ and presets so you can customize their sound to your liking, and their boom mic offers a better noise handling performance. However, if you prefer wired gaming headphones, the Astro are better built and have a more neutral sound profile that some users may prefer, and their mic has a better recording quality.
