Corsair VOID Wireless V2 Review (April 2025): : Marathon Battery Life Meets Lightweight Comfort

A Familiar Name, A Modern Refresh

The Corsair VOID headset line has been a recognizable, if sometimes niche, part of the gaming audio landscape for years, known for its distinct angular aesthetic and focus on gaming features. Entering the competitive mid-range wireless market in April 2025, the Corsair VOID Wireless V2 aims to revitalize this lineage with significant updates tailored to modern gamer demands. Building upon the foundation of models like the VOID PRO and VOID ELITE, the V2 steps away from incremental upgrades and delivers substantial improvements, most notably in battery life and connectivity options.

This headset targets gamers across multiple platforms – PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices – who seek a versatile, comfortable, and exceptionally long-lasting wireless audio solution without venturing into the premium price tiers often exceeding $200. Its key selling points are clear: an industry-leading claimed battery life, an extremely lightweight design for enhanced comfort, and the flexibility of dual wireless connectivity via both low-latency 2.4GHz and Bluetooth.

Priced aggressively at $119.99 USD (£99.99 GBP / €120 EUR), the VOID Wireless V2 positions itself as a high-value contender. This review will delve into its design, features, performance, and software integration to determine if it successfully delivers on its promises and represents a worthwhile investment for gamers in the current 2025 market. The V2’s focus on core user demands like battery longevity (a massive jump from the ~16 hours of its predecessors to 70+ hours) and adding versatile Bluetooth connectivity suggests a strategic emphasis on practical, high-impact features over the luxury materials or niche audio refinements found in Corsair’s higher-tier offerings like the Virtuoso series. This approach aims for broad appeal by addressing common pain points for wireless peripheral users within a competitive price bracket.

Design & Comfort: Featherweight Feel, Divisive Form

Build Quality & Materials: The VOID Wireless V2 primarily utilizes a hard, textured plastic for its outer shell. While multiple reviews describe this construction as sturdy and durable enough for regular use, others note that it can feel somewhat “plasticky” or less premium compared to headsets incorporating more metal. Some minor cosmetic issues like visible seams have also been mentioned. To bolster durability, the adjustable frame and yokes incorporate aluminum reinforcements.

The most significant consequence of this material choice, however, is the headset’s weight. At approximately 303 grams, the VOID V2 is exceptionally light for a wireless gaming headset, especially one boasting such extensive battery life. This weight reduction, noted to be around 20-25% less than previous VOID models, is a cornerstone of its comfort proposition.

Aesthetics & RGB: Visually, the VOID V2 maintains the line’s characteristic angular, somewhat unconventional earcup shape, presented in a sleek, modern design available in Carbon (Black) and White colorways. The RGB lighting has been updated from the larger logos on previous models to two subtle, thin, forward-facing strips on each earcup. This lighting is customizable via Corsair’s iCUE software. While generally considered inoffensive, the forward placement has drawn criticism from some reviewers, particularly glasses wearers, who noted distracting reflections off their lenses or monitor screens. Fortunately, the RGB can be disabled entirely through iCUE, which also helps conserve battery life.

Ergonomics & Long-Term Wear: The VOID V2’s ergonomics are largely praised. The angular, D-shaped earcups feature memory foam padding covered in a breathable microfiber mesh fabric. This fabric choice is intended to reduce heat buildup and moisture during long sessions, a common complaint with leatherette earcups. While the memory foam provides good support, some reviewers described it as more functional than plush or luxurious compared to higher-end competitors.

The headband is similarly padded with memory foam and mesh fabric. Size adjustment is handled via a smooth, stepless sliding mechanism rather than notched increments, allowing for fine-tuning the fit. The clamping force is generally regarded as well-balanced – firm enough to provide some passive noise isolation without feeling overly tight or causing excessive pressure. However, a few users found the fit quite snug or noted a firm grip.

Overall comfort receives overwhelmingly positive feedback across reviews, directly attributed to the lightweight design and breathable materials. Many reviewers highlighted their ability to wear the headset for extended periods, including 8-hour-plus gaming sessions, without experiencing discomfort, fatigue, or overheating. Some even remarked they could almost forget they were wearing it.

Feedback from glasses wearers is somewhat mixed. Some found the angular earcups applied minimal pressure, while others specifically pointed to the yoke design (attaching only to the back of the cup) or the cup shape itself as creating pressure points on their glasses frames, sometimes causing them to sit awkwardly. One reviewer experienced slight strain after about an hour, and the potential for RGB reflection remains a concern.

The design choices clearly indicate a prioritization of long-session comfort achieved through significant weight reduction. By opting for a primarily plastic build, Corsair managed to make the VOID V2 exceptionally light, addressing a major factor in headset fatigue. This strategic trade-off accepts potential user concerns about the premium feel of the materials or long-term durability (partially mitigated by aluminum reinforcements) and acknowledges that the unique earcup shape might not provide a perfect seal or fit for every user, especially those wearing glasses. The bet appears to be that for the target mid-range gamer, the tangible benefit of superior comfort during marathon gaming sessions outweighs these potential drawbacks.

Connectivity & Features: Wireless Freedom, Wired Omission

Dual Wireless Flexibility: A major upgrade for the VOID V2 is its dual wireless capability, offering both low-latency 2.4GHz connection via a USB-A dongle and standard Bluetooth. The 2.4GHz connection is the primary mode for gaming on PC, PlayStation 4/5, and docked Nintendo Switch, providing the necessary speed for competitive play. Bluetooth broadens compatibility significantly, allowing connection to mobile phones, tablets, the Nintendo Switch in handheld mode, and potentially PCs or PS5s without using the dongle, albeit likely with higher latency.

Switching between the 2.4GHz and Bluetooth modes is handled by a quick press of the power button, a feature praised for its simplicity and speed. Initial connections are also reported to be quick and straightforward. However, it’s important to note that the VOID V2 does not support simultaneous audio mixing from both sources – you cannot listen to game audio via 2.4GHz while also streaming music from your phone via Bluetooth, a feature found in some more premium headsets. The headset might allow taking phone calls via Bluetooth while connected via 2.4GHz, but not general audio mixing.

The official wireless range for the 2.4GHz connection is stated as up to 50 feet (15.24m), an improvement over the 40 feet range of previous VOID models. As always, real-world range can be affected by walls and interference. Compatibility spans PC, Mac, PlayStation 4/5, Nintendo Switch (docked via dongle, handheld via Bluetooth), and mobile devices. Critically, there is no native wireless support for Xbox consoles. The included 2.4GHz dongle is a standard USB-A type, which, while broadly compatible, is less convenient than USB-C for some modern laptops, handhelds, or phones. It also adds another dongle to potentially manage or lose.

Absence of Wired Connection: A significant design choice for the VOID V2 is the complete omission of any wired audio connection. There is no 3.5mm jack and no ability to transmit audio directly via the USB-C charging port. This makes the headset entirely dependent on its battery and wireless connections. While the exceptional battery life mitigates the risk of running out of power mid-session (and it can be used while charging via USB-C), the lack of a wired fallback could be inconvenient in situations with heavy wireless interference or if the dongle is misplaced.

Onboard Controls: Controls are consolidated on the left earcup. These include the main power button (which also toggles wireless modes), a Multi-Function Button (MFB) primarily for Bluetooth functions like pairing, answering/ending calls, and media playback (play/pause, skip tracks), and a volume control mechanism.

The volume control itself has drawn specific criticism. Instead of a traditional wheel or dial, it’s a notched lever or switch that users push and hold up or down to adjust volume, which then springs back to a central position. Several reviewers found this implementation less intuitive and precise than a standard wheel, making rapid or fine volume adjustments feel cumbersome. Pressing this volume rocker inwards can activate a custom function assigned via iCUE, such as toggling mute or cycling through EQ presets. By default, pressing and holding the rocker for one second cycles through EQ presets.

Flip-to-Mute Microphone: The VOID V2 employs a flip-to-mute microphone design, where raising the boom arm vertically mutes the microphone, and lowering it unmutes. This mechanism is widely regarded as one of the most intuitive and reliable ways to manage mic status in a gaming headset. A slight physical resistance when flipping the mic provides tactile confirmation, and audible tones indicate the mute/unmute status. The boom arm itself is flexible, allowing for easy positioning. However, a key limitation is that the microphone is permanently attached; it cannot be detached. This makes the headset less suitable for use in public or while commuting, despite its Bluetooth capability, as wearing a headset with a visible microphone boom is often undesirable outside of gaming contexts.

The overall feature set of the VOID V2 clearly prioritizes wireless convenience and broad platform compatibility through its dual-mode system. This focus, however, comes with trade-offs. The exclusion of a wired connection removes a potential fallback and limits compatibility with certain devices or setups. Similarly, the choice of a volume lever over a dial and a non-detachable microphone represent usability compromises compared to some alternatives. These decisions appear driven by the goal of delivering core wireless functionality across multiple platforms at an accessible price point, accepting that features common in higher tiers (like simultaneous audio mixing or detachable mics) or different design preferences (like volume dials) would be sacrificed.

Audio Performance: Immersive Gaming, Tunable Sound

Driver & Sound Signature: At the heart of the VOID V2 are custom-tuned 50mm Neodymium audio drivers, delivering a standard frequency response range of 20Hz to 20kHz. The out-of-the-box sound signature receives somewhat varied descriptions across reviews, suggesting a degree of subjectivity or potential unit variation. Some reviewers found it slightly bass-balanced, with pronounced lows that don’t completely overpower the mids and highs. Others perceived it as distinctly bass-heavy, even potentially overbearing at first listen, delivering ample rumble. Conversely, one reviewer noted an initial lack of bass, and another described the default profile as potentially “hollow” with a mid-range focus perhaps aimed at FPS games but lacking body.

Despite these varying descriptions of the default tuning, the overall audio quality is generally considered good, clear, powerful, and impressive for its price point. The drivers are capable of rendering impactful explosions and detailed soundscapes effectively. The maximum volume is reported to be sufficient for immersion without introducing noticeable distortion.

Gaming Performance & Spatial Audio: The VOID V2 shines in gaming scenarios. Reviewers highlighted positive experiences in competitive first-person shooters like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone, where the headset provided clear positional audio cues, making footsteps and gunshots easy to pinpoint. It also performed well in atmospheric titles like Atomfall and Sea of Thieves, enhancing immersion. The headset handled complex soundscapes with multiple simultaneous effects effectively.

A key feature contributing to this performance is the support for spatial audio technologies. The VOID V2 is compatible with Dolby Atmos on PC and Sony’s Tempest 3D AudioTech on PlayStation 5. These technologies are generally praised for significantly enhancing the sense of immersion and directional accuracy in supported games.

However, enabling these features involves software interaction. Dolby Atmos support on PC requires downloading and using the separate Dolby Access application (often via the Microsoft Store), a step some reviewers found inconvenient or irritating, associating it with unwanted “bloatware”. Furthermore, achieving the best overall sound often necessitates using Corsair’s iCUE software to adjust equalizer (EQ) settings, especially if the default profile isn’t to the user’s liking. It’s also worth noting that EQ customization might be disabled when spatial audio processing (like Dolby Atmos) is active.

Media Consumption (Music, Movies): For non-gaming content like music and movies, the VOID V2 is generally considered suitable. The clarity is good enough to appreciate soundtracks effectively. However, performance, particularly for music listened to via Bluetooth, might be perceived as merely “solid” or average without EQ adjustments made through iCUE. The potentially bass-heavy default profile might not be ideal for all music genres without user customization.

Noise Isolation: The headset provides passive noise isolation through its over-ear, closed-back design (despite the breathable fabric). It helps with immersion by blocking some ambient noise, but it does not feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and won’t completely silence the outside world. Some reviewers noted that the breathable mesh earcups can lead to noticeable audio leak, meaning sound might escape and be audible to others nearby.

Ultimately, the VOID V2 delivers strong and immersive audio performance for gaming, particularly when leveraging spatial audio technologies, making it a compelling option in its price bracket. The capability of the 50mm drivers is evident. However, the somewhat inconsistent descriptions of its default sound signature suggest that users may need to engage with the iCUE software to tune the EQ to their personal preference. This reliance on software customization, coupled with the separate app requirement for Dolby Atmos, means that unlocking the headset’s full audio potential requires an extra layer of user interaction beyond simple plug-and-play.

Microphone Check: Clear Comms, Potential Caveats

Mic Specifications & Design: The VOID V2 is equipped with an omni-directional microphone integrated into a flexible, non-detachable boom arm. Its technical specifications include a frequency response of 100Hz to 8kHz and a sensitivity of -40dB (± 3dB). These specs differ slightly from previous VOID Elite and PRO models, which sometimes featured unidirectional mics or different frequency/sensitivity ratings.

Voice Clarity & Quality: Feedback on the microphone’s performance is generally positive for its intended purpose – casual in-game voice chat – but stops short of being exceptional. Teammates reported hearing users clearly and loudly. Other descriptions include “as good as it could be”, “fine” or “passable”, “quite nice”, “average” with a slight “gaming headset buzz”, “okay for the most part”, “competent”, “high-quality”, and “clean and quite lovely”.

However, it’s consistently noted that the microphone quality is not suitable for more demanding applications like streaming or content creation. One reviewer even considered the microphone a “big disappointment” for users seeking an all-in-one audio solution. Occasional reports of the user’s voice sounding momentarily “robotic” also surfaced.

Noise Handling & Sensitivity: The omni-directional pickup pattern means the microphone captures sound from all directions. While this makes precise positioning less critical, it can also lead to the microphone picking up more ambient background noise. Some users reported that their teammates could hear keyboard clicks, mouse movements, or even other people talking in the same room.

To address this, the VOID V2 integrates with NVIDIA Broadcast technology, which offers AI-powered noise removal to help isolate the user’s voice. This feature, however, requires the user to have a compatible NVIDIA RTX graphics card and needs to be enabled and configured through the Corsair iCUE software. The effectiveness of the noise cancellation, therefore, is heavily dependent on having the necessary hardware and utilizing this software feature. Without it, the microphone’s ability to handle background noise might be limited, particularly on platforms like consoles where NVIDIA Broadcast isn’t available.

Functionality Issues: While the flip-to-mute mechanism is generally reliable, one reviewer encountered an issue where the microphone failed to activate correctly when flipped down. This problem was resolved by updating the iCUE software, highlighting the importance of keeping the software current. Another minor annoyance noted was that the voice prompts confirming mic mute/unmute status play at a fixed, loud volume regardless of the headset’s main volume setting.

In summary, the VOID V2’s microphone is adequate for casual gaming communication, offering acceptable clarity for team chat. However, it doesn’t reach the quality levels needed for streaming or professional use and can be sensitive to background noise due to its omni-directional nature. Its performance, particularly regarding noise cancellation, appears significantly enhanced by the optional NVIDIA Broadcast integration, but this feature is contingent on specific hardware (NVIDIA RTX GPU) and software setup (iCUE). This dependency suggests the raw microphone performance might be average, requiring software intervention to reach its full potential, making it a functional but not standout component of the headset package.

Battery Life & Charging: The Marathon Runner

Claimed Endurance & Real-World Performance: Perhaps the most striking feature of the Corsair VOID Wireless V2 is its phenomenal battery life. Corsair claims up to 70 hours of playtime via the 2.4GHz wireless connection and an even more staggering 130 hours when using Bluetooth. This represents a monumental leap from the approximately 16 hours offered by previous generations like the VOID Elite and VOID PRO, and positions the V2 at the very top end of the market for wireless headset endurance, especially within its price range.

Crucially, real-world testing by numerous reviewers consistently corroborates these impressive claims. The battery life is frequently described using superlatives like “excellent”, “extremely long”, “incredible”, “long lasting”, and “impressive”. Multiple reviewers reported using the headset extensively for days or even weeks between charges. One reviewer, despite trying to deplete the battery over several sessions, never saw the indicator light suggest it was even low. Another estimated getting around five days of use, averaging 4-12 hours per day, before receiving a low battery warning. The observed battery percentage drop during use also seemed consistent with the advertised longevity. This extended endurance effectively eliminates battery anxiety, a common frustration with wireless peripherals.

Fast Charging & Convenience: Complementing the long battery life is a convenient fast charging feature. Plugging the headset in via its USB-C port for just 15 minutes provides up to an additional 6 hours of playtime. This quick top-up capability is highly praised for its convenience, ensuring minimal downtime even if the battery does eventually run low. One reviewer did note, however, that the included USB-C charging cable felt too short.

Power Management: The headset features an auto-shutoff function to conserve power when inactive, with the timer being adjustable through the iCUE software. While useful, one user found the audible notification that plays when the headset powers down could be occasionally startling when working in silence.

The combination of extraordinary battery endurance and rapid fast charging makes the wireless experience with the VOID V2 exceptionally convenient and reliable. This longevity fundamentally enhances the usability of the headset, significantly reducing the frequency of charging interruptions and setting a high benchmark for competitors in the mid-range market. It stands out as arguably the single most compelling practical advantage of the VOID Wireless V2.

Software – iCUE Integration: Customization Hub

iCUE Requirement and Capabilities: To unlock the full potential of the VOID Wireless V2, users need to install Corsair’s iCUE software. While the headset functions for basic audio output without it, several key customization features are disabled. iCUE is available for Windows 10 or later and macOS.

The software serves as the central hub for personalization:

• Audio Equalizer (EQ): Users can select from pre-tuned audio profiles (like Pure Direct, Movie Theater, FPS Competition, Bass Boost) or create and save their own custom EQ settings. This is particularly crucial for the VOID V2, given the varied opinions on its default sound signature, allowing users to tailor the audio to their preference. Note that EQ adjustments might be unavailable when spatial audio (Dolby Atmos) is enabled.
• RGB Lighting: iCUE allows customization of the colors and dynamic effects for the two RGB strips on the earcups. The lighting can also be turned off completely via the software.
• Sidetone Control: The software enables users to adjust the level of microphone monitoring (hearing their own voice in the headset).
• Button Mapping: The function activated by pressing the volume rocker can be customized within iCUE.
• Other Settings: iCUE provides access to settings like the auto-shutoff timer and is used to check for and install firmware updates for the headset.
• NVIDIA Broadcast Integration: Enabling and configuring the AI noise removal features for the microphone is done through iCUE, provided the user has a compatible NVIDIA RTX GPU.

User Experience & Stability: The iCUE software itself is generally considered relatively unobtrusive and has reportedly improved over time. However, its necessity for accessing core customization options is frequently highlighted.

A point of friction for some users is the fact that Dolby Atmos spatial audio requires a separate application download (Dolby Access), typically from the Microsoft Store, rather than being integrated directly into iCUE. This reliance on multiple software components is seen by some as inconvenient or contributing to “bloatware”.

Furthermore, the importance of keeping iCUE updated is underscored by reports that updates can resolve functional bugs, such as the previously mentioned microphone activation issue.

While iCUE provides powerful and necessary customization tools, particularly for tailoring the VOID V2’s audio profile, its mandatory nature for accessing the full feature set, combined with the separate Dolby Atmos app requirement, creates a potential hurdle. This software ecosystem, essential for optimizing the hardware, adds a layer of complexity that might detract from the experience for users who prefer a simpler plug-and-play approach or wish to minimize software installations.
