GAMING SPECIAL

lighting is top-notch (though you’ll gain
four hours of battery by disabling it).
Audio is the Void Pro Wireless’s
only weak spot, which you could
argue is not a great weak spot for
a headset to have. Playback is very
bright, with a small-sounding and
treble-heavy mix that’s tiring to
listen to long-term. You can’t
do much about the first, but
spending some time with an
EQ can mitigate
the latter – I
recommend
adding a touch of
bass and bringing down the high end a bit.
At least Corsair improved the microphone. That
used to be this headset’s weak point, but the Void
Pro Wireless’s new mic is finally on-par with the
competition, picking up less background noise and
reproducing voices with more clarity.
Listen, I’m not going to say the Void Pro Wireless
is a fantastic headset. It’s not. But it’s good enough for
most people, and for £104 and wireless? That’s really
all you can ask for.

It’s a tough call replacing our former mid-tier wireless
