Corsair VOID
Corsair once again opts for a premium design in its “ Corsair Gaming ” product where the corporate colors yellow and black predominate. The product can be seen if we open the cover in the form of a book. In the back we have all the characteristics of the product.
Once we open the box and remove the plastic blister we find a bundle consisting of:
- Corsair VOID Wireless Dolby 7.1 Headphones. Wireless USB Adapter. 1.5m USB Power Cord. Quick Start Guide. Warranty Card.
There really are four versions of VOIDs available. The first is called a stereo that has a 3.5-pin plug and is compatible with all devices that have it, its price is the cheapest of all with an acceptable 85 euros. We also have a USB VOID that is around 100 euros that works with a cable, it has LED indicators but it works with USB so it is compatible only with a PC. The Wireless version is divided into two, the first with a black and wireless version and a second exclusive in yellow, which is what Corsair has sent us.
The design is much more striking than the Corsair H2100 that we discussed a few days ago. In this case the yellow color predominates above all and it combines very well with the black color. Its design fits very well to all types of heads as it is fully adjustable.

Corsair has thought a lot about the comfort of the player or music lover and has included small details that help a lot of long sessions. Among them the type of ear that each user has. Its microfiber- covered memory foam ear cushions offer excellent comfort.
The helmets are fully adjustable and adaptable. The microphone is adjustable and allows us to pick it up to mute it in case we do not want to use it, this is very useful when playing multiplayer games or we are in full conversation on Skype with noise cancellation technology.
I also have to highlight the InfoMic system that offers vital information about the microphone, with instant “alerts” on everything you need to know about the game's audio: equalizer settings, Dolby, microphone deactivation status and battery life, all This is visually communicated by the LED indicators next to the microphone.
Corsair Gaming is throwing the house out the window and in all its products it is including RGB lighting controlled by the CUE software (we will explain during the analysis). This technology allows you to choose between 16.8 million colors in each LED of both helmets.
Finally, see that it includes a base with the Wifi controller that acts as a control point, as well as a direct extension to the Corsair VOID to perform direct recharging.
software
To proceed with the installation we must insert the USB stick and from the Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 operating system install the drivers at the moment. We recommend installing the Corsair CUE app for better helmet experience and customization. You can go to the following link.
What does the application allow us to adjust? I detail it quickly:
- Create profiles. Modify brightness, sound intervals and see battery life. Adjust lighting effect and create actions. In addition to get the most out of it with automatic firmware updates from the device options of the application.
Experience and conclusion
The Corsair VOID Wireless Dolby 7.1 Yellowjacket is a high-end helmet with a very daring design and an ideal complement for the most gamers. Personalization with the RGB color palette on the active LEDs is a plus.
Speaking about the sound quality, it offers amazing bass, treble and clarity to take into account, since it has two 50mm neodymium transducers. If we add the authentic Dolby 7.1 surround sound, it offers us precise audio.
The experience with them this week is quite similar to that of the H2100, the clarity when I am listening to music and watching multimedia content is very good, with a clear and very successful sound. Where I find better performance is in games, it seems that it is better focused and I have noticed a slight improvement.
In short, if you are looking for wireless helmets, with excellent quality finishes, sound clarity and ideal for the gaming world, the Corsair VOIDs are the perfect candidates. Its store price ranges from 85 to 145 euros depending on the version.
