Corsair Void Wireless 2 Review: A Light, Comfortable Wireless Headset That Delivers

Introduction

Wireless gaming headsets often force a trade-off between convenience and audio quality. The Corsair Void Wireless 2 aims to balance those priorities at a more accessible price point. Available in white or black for $119.99, this headset targets gamers who want wireless freedom and dedicated gaming features without stepping up to flagship pricing.

Wireless audio makes the most sense when you value the convenience of a cable-free setup or you want features like chat mix, sidetone, or multiple connections. For pure audio quality, a wired connection still holds the edge. The Void Wireless 2 sits firmly in the wireless camp, offering 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth connectivity with a lightweight frame that is surprisingly comfortable for long sessions.

Who This Headset Is For

The Void Wireless 2 is built for gamers who spend hours at a desk and want a headset that disappears on their head. At roughly 295 grams, it ranks among the lightest wireless headsets available, beaten only by a few competitors like the Arctis Nova 5 and the Logitech G735. That low weight makes a real difference during extended play sessions, reducing the fatigue that heavier headsets can cause.

The headset works with PC, Mac, mobile, PlayStation, and Switch. There is no Xbox support, and the headset is wireless only, with no wired option. You connect either through the included USB-A dongle on 2.4 GHz or via Bluetooth to your source. This makes it a flexible option for gamers who switch between a PC and a console or who want to take calls while gaming.

Build Quality and Comfort

The frame is mostly plastic, which is understandable at this price point, but it feels solid and well put together. The headband has a nice cushion with a sport mesh material, and the ear cups swivel a full 90 degrees with adjustable sizing. Both adjustments feel dampened and smooth, suggesting the headset is designed to fit a wide range of head sizes. It even extends large enough for bigger heads, which is not always the case with gaming headsets.

The ear pads are spacious thanks to the trapezoid design, measuring about 40 by 50 mm across the center and 19 mm deep. They do make contact with the ears at the top and bottom, but the design makes it barely noticeable. The pads are plush and use the same sport mesh material as the headband. Some people may find this material slightly scratchy, but it breathes better than fake leather alternatives and does not trap heat as quickly. Passive noise isolation is limited, and there is no active noise cancellation, so this headset is best suited to quieter environments.

Features and Connectivity

The on-ear controls are minimal but functional. You get a power button, a media control button, and a multi-function volume rocker that also works as a press button. A quick press toggles mic mute, while a longer press cycles through EQ presets. The power button also toggles between 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, making it easy to switch sources manually.

Bluetooth integration is handled well. If you are connected to your phone via Bluetooth and gaming on a 2.4 GHz source, an incoming call rings in your ear cup. Pressing the media button answers the call, and when the call ends, another press drops you back into 2.4 GHz mode. This manual toggle is quick and reliable, avoiding the awkward automatic switching some headsets use. There is no full-time simultaneous Bluetooth, but that is not a feature typically found at this price point.

The headset includes onboard memory to save settings for a single profile without using Corsair’s software, though this currently only supports lighting assignment. Using the iCUE software unlocks more functionality, including customizing the scroll click function, syncing RGB, and cycling through EQ presets on the headset itself. These presets are only available through iCUE on PC, so Bluetooth and console users will not have access to them. Spatial audio is supported on PlayStation, and the headset includes a Dolby Atmos license for PC spatial audio. Nvidia Broadcast is also available for mic noise reduction in noisy environments.

Microphone Performance

The microphone is a small capsule on a flexible arm with a flip-up to mute, flip-down to go live design. Corsair has a strong track record with wireless mics, and this one impresses at the price point. It is clearly a wireless mic with some compression artifacts, but the tone is solid and sounds natural. There are no mic EQ options without a subscription to voice modulation software, but the default tone is well tuned. On a call, the person on the other end did not realize the mic was from a headset.

Sidetone is included, letting you hear your own voice in the headset without delay. It works as expected with no glitches, and it gets loud enough and clear enough to do the job. While this mic may not win any awards, it performs well for the price, and the sidetone quality is better than what some more expensive headsets offer.

Sound Quality and Gaming Performance

Sound is delivered by 50 mm drivers, and the default EQ follows a classic V-shaped tuning common on gaming headsets. The treble tracks the Harman curve reasonably well, with a scoop in the upper mids and presence and some bloat in the lower mids extending through the bass. An FPS competition EQ preset lowers the bass and boosts the highs for competitive play.

The left and right channels are closely matched, which typically indicates strong directional performance in FPS games. In practice, the directional audio is impressive. Testing in Call of Duty multiplayer and private matches, the headset accurately conveyed enemy positions, whether they were fighting in the distance or approaching slowly. For single-player games, the movie theater EQ mode creates a spacious feel with a strong sense of scale. Bass rumbles come through without sounding muddy.

Battery life is a standout feature at 70 hours, with a 15-minute quick charge providing 6 hours of play. Range and connection stability are also solid, with no dropouts experienced even when moving to another room. The headset held its connection reliably throughout testing.

Buying Advice

At $119.99, the Void Wireless 2 delivers more than expected. The main competition is the Arctis Nova 5, which retails for about $10 more. The Void Wireless 2 is built better, with a sturdier headband and swivels that hold their position, while the Arctis feels cheaper in construction. The Arctis is slightly more comfortable, but the Void is not far behind.

Neither headset offers simultaneous Bluetooth or active noise cancellation. The Void has a longer battery life at 70 hours versus the Arctis’s 60 hours. Both support game-to-chat mix through software, but neither has dedicated hardware controls. The Arctis mic sounds slightly better, but its overall volume is very low with no easy fix. Sound quality is close, with the Arctis having punchier, more controlled bass and a more precise stock tune, while the Void benefits from EQ adjustment for music listening. The Arctis’s standout feature is its phone companion app, which lets you save EQ presets to the headset for use across Bluetooth and console.

The choice comes down to what you prioritize. If you want a straightforward, well-built, comfortable headset with strong battery life and excellent directional audio, the Void Wireless 2 is an easy recommendation. If you value extensive EQ options and a companion app, the Arctis Nova 5 may be worth the extra $10.

Conclusion

The Corsair Void Wireless 2 is a pleasant surprise at its price point. It does not include flagship features like active noise cancellation or simultaneous Bluetooth mixing, but it does not need them to deliver a solid experience. The lightweight frame, comfortable fit, strong directional audio, and 70-hour battery life make it a compelling choice for budget-conscious gamers. If you need a reliable wireless headset that handles gaming and calls well, the Void Wireless 2 is worth serious consideration.
