from its more expensive siblings, but it’s a bit boxier,
with a drab grey chassis and minimal decoration. It’s
also 100 percent plastic, which doesn’t help dispel
the cheap feeling.
The A10 has it where it counts though, which is
to say it sounds great. We’re talking ‘great for a £59
headset’, of course, but still. The A10 delivers clean
mids and a rich bass that comes close to mimicking
the sound of Astro’s pricier headsets and only falters
in the details. Details, I might add, that most listeners
wouldn’t even notice day-to-day. It’s an excellent
entry-level headset, and deserves your consideration

Corsair Void Pro Wireless
Price: £104 inc VAT from fave.co/2Z2qyr6

Corsair has carved out a pretty healthy niche for itself
at the low end of the wireless market. The new Corsair
Void Pro Wireless is a pretty decent headset. It takes
getting used to, with diamond-shaped ear cups and a
headband that slants toward the front of the head. It’s
an aggressive design, but it’s more comfortable than
it looks – almost too comfortable, maintaining such
light pressure on the head that it’s prone to slipping
around. Not ideal.
Still, I’d rather a headset that’s too loose than one
that puts my head in a vice grip, and aside from that
minor issue the Void Pro Wireless design is solid.
Oversized controls for volume, power, and mic mute
are easy to find in a moment’s notice, and Corsair’s RGB
