Value and Conclusion

  • The Corsair Void Pro RGB USB is available online for $80.
  • Excellent audio performance, both for music and serious gaming
  • Extremely comfortable
  • Soft, breathable ear cushions
  • The button and the jog dial on the left ear cup contain a lot of controls
  • Fun, explosive virtual surround sound
  • Microphone quality is underwhelming
  • Corsair Utility Engine software could benefit from a couple of UI/UX improvements
  • Connectivity-wise, it doesn't offer the versatility of the Void Pro Surround, which costs the same
If you're after a gaming headset in the $80 price bracket, and you're a PC gamer, the Corsair Void Pro RGB USB is a good choice. Don't let its plastic frame and unusual aesthetics turn you away - in terms of sound quality and comfort, it delivers in heaps. The viscoelastic memory foam and microfiber mesh fabric used on the ear cushions and inner side of the headband feel great even during prolonged usage. Its light clamping force also works well in terms of making you forget that you're even wearing a headset.

The sound is well balanced across the board. You get a solid amount of bass, a detailed midrange, and clean highs. All of that makes the Corsair Void Pro RGB USB just lovely to listen to, not only while gaming, but also for watching movies and listening to music. In case you have a desire to sculpt the acoustic signature to your preference, nothing's stopping you - the Corsair Utility Engine contains a system-wide equalizer with several factory presets and an option to completely customize it. Here, you'll also find various RGB effects and colors; yep, the Void Pro RGB USB is yet another glowing headset. The RGB lighting system consist of Corsair's glowing logo on each of the ear cups. You won't miss out on much if you decide not to use it, but nor will it blind you and cause a stroke if you do want to treat yourself to a bit of RGB bling.

The weakest aspect of this headset is its microphone. It's decent enough to be used for in-game communication, just don't expect anyone to compliment you on how well your voice is heard. Direct competitors offer better microphones on their USB headsets, and you can get headsets with nicer mics for less money too. If you're very demanding in terms of microphone quality, you're best off looking elsewhere. Once again, it's usable for chatting, but don't expect to utilize it for anything beyond that. The limited connectivity could also pose a problem for some - this is a PC headset first and foremost. If you're looking to get a Corsair Void Pro for your console, take a look at the Void Pro Surround. It costs, looks, and sounds the same, but has a 3.5-mm 4-pole (TRRS) plug and a USB sound card.
