When my trusty old gaming headset finally started showing its age, I began the hunt for a worthy wireless successor. I wanted something comfortable for long sessions, versatile enough for different platforms, and crucially, wouldn’t break the bank. After some searching, the Corsair VOID WIRELESS v2 caught my eye, promising premium features at a surprisingly reasonable $119.99 price point. Unboxing it, I was immediately struck by the feel – the matte finish, available in both a clean White and a stealthy Carbon black, felt sturdy and pleasant to the touch. What really surprised me, though, was the weight. Or rather, the lack of it. Compared to some gaming headsets that feel like you’re wearing a helmet, the VOID v2 felt refreshingly light.

Putting it on confirmed my initial positive impression. The comfort is simply outstanding. The earcups, covered in a soft, breathable microfiber fabric rather than the often sweaty faux leather, enveloped my ears gently. The memory foam padding in both the cups and the headband provided just the right amount of cushion without creating pressure points. I have a fairly large head, and I often find myself maxing out the adjustments on headsets, but with the VOID v2, I had room to spare. Even after several hours deep into a gaming session or working through the day, I experienced no discomfort, no excessive heat buildup – sometimes I almost forgot I was wearing them. This level of comfort is a massive win, especially at this price.

Getting connected was straightforward. On my PC, I plugged in the included 2.4GHz USB dongle, pressed the power button on the headset, and it connected instantly. The low-latency connection felt indistinguishable from a wired headset during gameplay. What really boosts its versatility, though, is the addition of Bluetooth. Pairing it with my phone and Nintendo Switch was quick and painless. Switching between the 2.4GHz connection on my PC or PS5 and Bluetooth on my phone is done with a simple press of the power button, making it incredibly convenient to take a call or listen to music without swapping headsets. The wireless range was solid too; I could walk around my room without any dropouts. Just remember, while it covers PC, Mac, PlayStation, Switch, and mobile devices brilliantly, there’s no native support for Xbox consoles.

Now, let’s talk about battery life, because this is where the VOID v2 truly excels. Corsair claims up to 70 hours on the 2.4GHz connection, and based on my experience, that’s not an exaggeration. I charged it fully when I first got it and then proceeded to use it for several days – intense gaming sessions, listening to music while working, joining voice chats – and the battery indicator barely seemed to budge. It easily lasted through multiple long days before needing a top-up. Forgetting to charge it overnight is no longer a panic-inducing event. And if you do get caught out, the fast charging is fantastic – just 15 minutes plugged in genuinely provides hours of extra playtime. Plus, you can charge it while using it, which is always appreciated.

Sound quality-wise, I was quite pleased. Out of the box, the 50mm drivers deliver an energetic, engaging sound profile. It leans towards that fun, slightly V-shaped signature common in gaming headsets – the bass has a satisfying punch and presence, making explosions and deep sound effects feel impactful, while the highs are clear and crisp, helping with detail retrieval. I did notice that the midrange can feel a bit recessed compared to the bass and treble, which means vocals in music might not sound quite as forward or natural as on more neutral headphones. However, for gaming, this tuning works well, adding to the drama and immersion. I did encounter one instance during an extremely chaotic, bass-heavy moment in a shooter where the bass seemed to slightly distort, but this was rare. Thankfully, you can dive into Corsair’s iCUE software on PC and tweak the equalizer to dial the sound exactly to your preference, perhaps pulling back the lower mids slightly if you find them a touch muddy, or boosting the mids for more vocal clarity.

The real star of the audio show, however, is the Dolby Atmos support. After installing the Dolby Access app on my PC and enabling Atmos in the Windows sound settings, the difference in supported games was night and day. The sense of space and directionality is incredible. Sounds aren’t just coming from left or right, but from all around, including above and below. Pinpointing enemy footsteps, hearing the direction of gunfire, or just being enveloped by the environmental sounds in games like Cyberpunk 2077 or Battlefield 2042 added a whole new layer of immersion and tactical awareness. It preserves the headset’s core sound quality without adding weird reverb, just accurately placing sounds in a 3D sphere around you.

For communication, the omni-directional microphone gets the job done well. My friends reported my voice coming through clearly in Discord, and recordings sounded perfectly understandable, albeit with that slightly thin, recognizable “gaming headset mic” quality. It’s not broadcast-grade, but it’s more than adequate for team chat. The flip-to-mute function is incredibly convenient and intuitive. I did encounter a minor quirk a couple of times where the mic didn’t seem active immediately upon powering on when it was already flipped down, requiring me to flip it up and back down – hopefully, something easily addressed in firmware. The integration with NVIDIA Broadcast via iCUE for noise suppression is a great bonus if you have a compatible RTX card. My only slight wish here is that the mic was detachable for times I just want to use Bluetooth for music on the go.

Using the iCUE software is essential for unlocking the headset’s full potential – firmware updates, customizing the subtle forward-facing RGB strips, adjusting EQ, and enabling NVIDIA Broadcast features all happen here. The software is powerful but can feel a bit overwhelming or clunky to navigate at first until you get used to it. On-ear controls are convenient, with a volume rocker that also clicks in for a customizable function (defaulting to EQ cycle), and the power button that doubles as the wireless mode switch. Some might find the power button’s placement a little awkward, and it’s a slight shame the media control button below it isn’t remappable for more gaming-focused commands.

In conclusion, the Corsair VOID WIRELESS v2 has genuinely impressed me. It delivers exceptional comfort, especially for those of us with larger heads, class-leading battery life that removes charging anxiety, and highly versatile dual-wireless connectivity. The sound quality is engaging and great for gaming, elevated significantly by the fantastic Dolby Atmos implementation. Considering its $119.99 price, the value here is outstanding. Yes, the microphone isn’t detachable, the default sound might benefit from minor EQ tweaks for some listeners, and the iCUE software could be more intuitive, but these are minor points in the face of its significant strengths. If you’re a PC, PlayStation, or Switch gamer looking for a comfortable, long-lasting wireless headset with excellent spatial audio, the VOID WIRELESS v2 is incredibly easy to recommend.
