Corsair VOID Wireless v2 – Hands-on and Quick Review

Corsair VOID Wireless v2 – Over the past period, it seems that most of the products released by Corsair are essentially 'refreshed' versions of familiar lines, improved with a new design language and modern features, optimized for user experience, along with many hardware upgrades.

Typically, the Frame 4000D case line, an upgrade from the popular 4000D case, boasts numerous improvements in customization options and materials; the familiar RMe and RMx-series power supplies used in many systems are upgraded with more flexible cabling and better power standards; and gaming gear products like the M55 Wireless mouse feature optimized designs and diverse connectivity options.

Following that trend, the Corsair VOID Wireless v2 was launched as the second part of the familiar VOID series, boasting a design that isn't significantly different, but promising more modern features, a more comfortable wearing experience, and improved sound quality.

So, what kind of different experience will the Corsair VOID Wireless v2 offer to make it a worthwhile upgrade?

Let's find out more in this article from tipsplay.net!

Corsair VOID Wireless v2 – A comfortable wearing experience!

Positioned in the mid-range segment, the Corsair VOID Wireless v2 sports Corsair's familiar 'half gold, half black' packaging with minimalist design details, emphasizing the product's compact form factor, diverse connectivity options, and authentic Dolby Atmos stereo sound technology.

Similar to other wireless headphone models recently launched by Corsair, the VOID Wireless v2 seems to inherit the 'motif' of supporting both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connectivity, with a series of improvements in sound quality and battery life, optimized ergonomic design, and user-friendly features.

Unlike its more premium sibling, the Virtuoso Max Wireless, which comes with a detailed accessory kit, this model is packaged simply with the earbuds, a USB-C charging cable, and a standard 2.4GHz wireless adapter found on most recent Corsair products.

Upon first handling, the Corsair VOID Wireless v2 makes a strong impression with its lightweight construction, entirely made of plastic, yet still feels sufficiently sturdy, flexible, and allows for comfortable adjustment of the wearing position.

Outwardly, the Corsair VOID Wireless v2 is designed with earcups that can be folded 90 degrees, secured by a 'suspension' system similar to the HS80 Max Wireless series with 'free-sliding' capabilities for height adjustment, and the included microphone can be folded 'up and down' to mute the sound when not in use.

However, the remaining elements of the headphones are almost identical to the previously released Void Pro Surround model, including the 'sail-shaped' earcup design, traditional headband cushion, easily locating and secure earcups, and an easy-to-use volume scroll wheel with integrated music controls.

Thanks to its lightweight and flexible design, the Corsair VOID Wireless v2 offers an extremely comfortable wearing experience due to its even force distribution and breathable memory foam ear cushions, preventing heat or stuffiness even during extended wear.

Additionally, the deep foam padding and detailed wear position customization make the Corsair VOID Wireless v2 's 'on-ear' experience almost 'invisible' during extended use, making it an extremely suitable choice for long gaming sessions.

When relaxed, the ear cushion design of the Corsair VOID Wireless v2 is slightly loose due to its limited depth, meaning it doesn't quite fit snugly around the ear to provide the desired sound isolation experience.

This is most noticeable in situations where you 'accidentally' turn your neck or tilt your head; external noise can leak in due to the shifting position of the headphones, partially altering the sound quality. Additionally, when the headphones aren't securely fixed, some internal sound frequencies will escape, making the soundstage of the headphones appear somewhat flatter than initially.

In terms of sound quality, this is arguably the best improvement on the Corsair VOID Wireless v2 , with extremely solid and powerful bass, combined with a balanced mid-range.

To be more precise, while the sub-bass on the HS80 Max Wireless sounds somewhat lacking, the detail and responsiveness of this range on the Corsair VOID Wireless v2 are handled well, with vibrations appearing more realistic.

However, the treble range can be considered a weakness of this headphone model, causing the sound of instruments and vocals to be partially "compressed" and overshadowed by the vibrant bass and midrange frequencies.

Overall, thanks to its relatively balanced sound signature, this headphone model is suitable for a wide range of use, from hearing detailed footsteps in FPS games like Rainbow Six Siege , to explosive sequences in action movies and electronic music drops .

In terms of audio quality, the microphone also performs well, capturing voices naturally, clearly, and without the 'compression' often seen in many other wireless headphone models.

When "unplugged," the Corsair VOID Wireless v2 introduces numerous connectivity improvements across both 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth modes, opening up support for use with PCs, phones, and gaming systems like PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.

Using a 2.4 GHz connection to the included USB transmitter, the headphones are advertised to have a battery life of up to 70 hours of continuous use, easily exceeding a week with 5-6 hours of use per day. However, if using a Bluetooth connection, the advertised battery life is almost 'doubled' with the ability to use continuously for 130 hours.

During the short testing period for this article, the Corsair VOID Wireless v2 did not experience low battery levels right out of the box, even though the author used it for 6-7 hours a day.

Summary

Overall, the Corsair VOID Wireless v2 is an extremely worthwhile upgrade with many improvements in wireless connectivity, groundbreaking sound quality, and a comfortable wearing experience.

While it doesn't boast as many unique features as its higher-end counterparts, the price and experience offered by the Corsair VOID Wireless v2 make it an extremely competitive choice and suitable for the needs of most gamers today, whether the primary use is gaming, listening to music, or enjoying various types of movies.
