Corsair has always been a well-known brand in the gaming industry, and it has provided good products throughout the years. The first time I came across the Corsair headset was several years ago when I received the Corsair HS60 Pro headset for review. Since then, Corsair headsets have been a constant companion of mine. Recently, I have also reviewed their Virtuoso range, which includes models like Virtuoso XT and Virtuoso Max, along with HS80 Max.
Well, this time around, I will be going over the new Corsair Void Wireless V2 to see if it lives up to the hype.

How Is The Void Wireless V2 Different?
The Corsair Void Wireless V2 sets itself apart from previous Corsair headsets and competitors by introducing dual wireless connectivity. With this feature, you can easily toggle between a 2.4GHz connection and Bluetooth, a feature that older models never offered. This flexibility makes switching between multiple devices pretty straightforward. Moreover, its battery life is quite good, giving 70 hours of playtime that can be charged back quickly with 6 hours of battery life with only a 15-minute charge.
Packaging & Unboxing
Corsair did well on the box design once again, as it feels premium and has the classic Corsair touch, showcasing the Corsair logo in the top left corner and the headset name with sleek dual-tone colors. In addition, the box is very well-secured and thoughtfully designed to ensure the headset is well-protected during shipping.
The headset sits perfectly inside the packaging. Other than the headset, all the important accessories, like the wireless dongle, charging cable, and user manual, are neatly placed in a single section, which is very convenient.

Design
The Corsair Void Wireless V2 continues to follow Corsair’s aesthetics while incorporating unique and fresh changes. I like what they’ve done with the design to make it look classic, which looks good.
The earcups now feature a subtle matte finish that is more understated. This adds a layer of durability to the headset, unlike the glossy look. The materials used in this feel surprisingly lightweight and retain that familiar Corsair quality.
Comfort
Regarding comfort, the memory foam wrapped in breathable microfiber fabric ear cushions not only looks great but feels even more comfortable during long sessions. They feel gentle and supportive without squeezing too tight after several hours of gaming. They’re cushioned just right to minimize pressure points without the nagging discomfort around your ears.
After spending several weeks with it, I noticed that the weight distribution is spot on. The headband distribution is also better, so you don’t get that annoying pressure on the top of your head. It sits comfortably without feeling heavy while still feeling securely placed. Although I did have a moment when I thought the headband would be a little too tight for bigger heads, a slight adjustment removed any annoying pressure points.
Build Quality
The overall feel of the headset is durable while maintaining a reasonable weight. It sure appears like it can take the rigorous wear and tear of daily gaming, but thankfully, it doesn’t feel like a massive piece of headset that is bulky or clunky.
The primary materials are of high quality. Plus, the reinforced hinges, combined with the sturdiness of the chassis, feel solid and should survive normal to even rough usage.
Control Scheme
The Corsair Void Wireless V2 gets the layout of the controls exactly right. Several buttons are placed on the left earcup, including a dedicated power button that also functions as a wireless mode switch. You can use it to switch between 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth modes. Right below this, there is also a slider to adjust the volume. By default, pressing the volume wheel cycles through four audio EQ presets.
Moreover, within iCUE, you can change it to perform such actions as remapping the button to mute/unmute the headset. Overall, the volume slider is smooth enough to adjust and gives a satisfying tactile click every time. Given the difference in feel and tactile feedback, a good aspect here is that you’re unlikely to mispress the buttons, which is something I’ve noticed in other headsets.
Connectivity
The Corsair Void Wireless V2 has flawless connectivity. It even has Bluetooth for additional flexibility alongside a super-fast 2.4GHz wireless connection, which has low latency, making it even better. I walked around my house with it, and there were no annoying latency issues or dropouts. Furthermore, it has dual wireless compatibility.
You can seamlessly switch between PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and even mobile without cables or needing to reconnect. This means one can connect their PC using a dongle while having a Bluetooth device paired and toggle effortlessly between both streams with a single power button press.
Audio Performance
The overall audio quality is great, especially if you configure it according to your liking through iCUE (which I did). The headsets have custom-built 50mm drivers, so there is a balanced frequency response. The bass is deep and punchy, while the mid-range vocals are superb but not too strong. The crisp treble enhances every sound detail. Footsteps, gunshots, and other environmental cues are so accurate that they can be distinguished from every sound.
This attention to detail makes you want to appreciate the understated sounds even more, and honestly, it’s great. I spent many hours on FPS games such as Valorant and CS2, and the surround sound greatly amazed me. Similarly, for watching movies and listening to music, the headsets weren’t overly boosting any frequency, which is good.
Microphone Quality
The Corsair Void Wireless V2 features an omnidirectional microphone paired with NVIDIA Broadcast technology, which does a fantastic job isolating my voice from background noise. I could say it’s like having a built-in noise gate. I was genuinely surprised because even during the chaotic shouting and shooting while playing games, my voice was clean and crisp. We get the flip-to-mute feature as well, which is rather common now, but in any case, raising the microphone boom will mute it, and lowering it will unmute it.
For best performance, bend the flexible microphone boom to fit near the left corner of your mouth. A 30-degree bend is a good place to start, but you can adjust this if your mic is too loud or soft. The one initial slight problem I encountered once when I was in the middle of a conversation was that the mic picked up too much ambient noise, but once I adjusted the gain, it was all good, as it only required a bit of adjusting.
Battery Life
Corsair claims the headset’s battery will last up to 70 hours on a single charge. For me, that claim proves to be somewhat accurate. I was able to do multiple gaming sessions for several weeks without the need to charge my headset. To top it all off, a quick 15-minute charge can give you around six more hours of playtime, which is extremely helpful if your headphone dies in the middle of your competitive game. Charging the device through USB-C is also pretty straightforward.
The headset also has a battery status LED indicator that helps you keep track of the battery percentage. It displays red, orange, and green colors, indicating that the battery is low, medium, and high.
iCUE
I highly recommend using iCUE for the best experience. Also, you should check firmware updates through Device Settings to make sure the headset is updated. Through iCUE, you can customize almost all the settings to your preference. Whether you want deep bass or crystal clear mid-tones, you have full control over them through an equalizer with perfectly tailored audio profiles. You can remap the multifunction button (through Key Assignments).
Of course, you can also adjust the headset’s lighting, which includes rainbow, static, and many more effects. It also syncs with your other Corsair products.
Should You Buy It or Not?
Buy it if
✅ You prioritize multi-platform connectivity and flexibility: The Corsair Void Wireless V2 offers dual wireless support, letting you switch between a 2.4 GHz dongle and Bluetooth, all with a simple button.
✅ You need lengthy battery life: It provides up to 70 hours on a single charge and a quick 15-minute charge provides an extra 6 hours of playtime.
✅ You demand outstanding audio performance: The custom-tuned 50mm drivers and Dolby Atmos spatial audio deliver a richly detailed, 3D sound experience.
Don’t buy it if
❌ You have a very large head size: Although generally comfortable, the headband may require adjustment and could be uncomfortable if you have a larger head.
❌ Portability is your top priority: The sleek, non-foldable design is designed for its usage at home, so if you need a headset that’s easy to pack and travel with, you might want to consider more compact options.
Final Verdict
After spending a few weeks gaming and using it casually, I can say that the Corsair Void Wireless V2 is an upgrade worth considering in Corsair’s lineup. It enhances its predecessors with better multi-platform compatibility, improved battery life, and better audio with Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio. I like its superb sound quality combined with a comfortable feel.
On the pricing side, the Corsair Void Wireless V2 is priced at a reasonable $119.99, which is competitive for a headset packed with high-end features. In my opinion, custom-tuned 50mm dynamic drivers, dual wireless compatibility, and other capabilities easily make that price a steal compared to more expensive options in the market.
It is a feature-rich headset offered at an incredible price. Of course, there are some downsides, such as larger heads needing some adjustment, but that is a minimal issue when looking at the upsides. From my perspective, the Corsair Void Wireless V2 seems to sit pretty well for those looking for that balance between premium features and value.
