The crispness and dynamic range of more refined headsets is missing, but that’s understandable. Using the flat ‘Pure Direct’ EQ preset, there were no obvious weaknesses while listening to the usual selection of test music, but neither did it blow us away, and in mid-range heavy tracks it can sound a little compressed and clustered. Sound from the Void RGB Elite Wireless is pretty solid, all told. If that irritates you the same way it did me, you can simply turn the feature off and remember to turn the headset off manually. After that amount of time, the headset will beep every minute until sound is either played or 10 minutes elapses, at which point it will fully turn off.

You can also opt here to change from beeps and boops to a soothing-but-after-a-while-annoying female voice for the various audio cues, set the LED brightness with a slider (remembering that lower = more battery), update the firmware, and configure the auto shutoff time to between five minutes (the default) and 99. The headset’s battery status is shown here too sadly there’s no way to tie this to the desktop. You can also easily amend the order through which they are cycled.įinally, within the Settings tab up top you’ll find Device Settings, and these are things that apply to all the profiles and are more universal (though iCUE still needs to be running for them to work). You can have up to five EQ settings ready to cycle through on each profile, but if you only want one or two you just toggle the others off. The five presets cannot be tweaked, but you can substitute your own without fuss.

The list of Lighting Link effects is those which can be synchronised with other devices within the profile.ĮQ Presets is also self-explanatory.

The Lighting Effects menu gives a simple drop-down menu, and some of the effects have further settings you can tweak like colour and speed. I left it on for testing and didn’t run into any issues. It is typically left on, but it has been silently exposed as a user-configurable setting in recent iCUE releases so users can switch it off in the event they run into sound issues with certain applications, with Chrome and Overwatch given as examples. After speaking with Corsair, I know this setting has to do with how the headset decodes audio streams with different channel counts. There’s also a button to toggle between stereo and virtual surround while a separate button toggles ‘Auto Audio Repositioning’. The mic controls (sensitivity and sidetone) are accessible when the mic is flipped down. Adding and customising profiles is very easy.Īt all times you have access to the key settings and a clear display of the current light show on the ear cups. An example of a simple setup would be having surround sound activated along with an EQ profile designed to boost footsteps within a profile tied to CS:GO, along with a default profile in stereo mode with a more balanced EQ for everything else.

it’ll control pretty much anything Corsair, not just this headset).Īs usual, you can have different profiles for the headset (and any other Corsair devices) and have the ability to link these to automatically come into action for different programs. It’s come a long way since its inception and is easily one of the best all-encompassing suites (i.e.

For custom EQ settings, surround sound, and lighting control, you’ll need to install Corsair’s beefy iCUE package and keep it running at all times – otherwise it’s back to rainbow ear cups for you.
