That's especially important since Corsair markets these new Elite cans' 50mm drivers as having more powerful bass than ever. On a leaky headset, the bass is always in danger of sounding loose and lacking warmth, because those lower, longer frequencies are escaping out beyond the earcup instead of sounding out in a sealed chamber around your ear. It can be mitigated by adjusting the headband for a looser overall fit, but it doesn't eradicate the problem completely. On my head, the Void RGB Elite USB tends to flare out at the bottom, meaning they're much less snug around the bottom of my ears than the top of them. There's a bigger problem relating to the fit and its effect on tone, though. In addition to output being audible to anyone around you, that also means a detriment to the audio quality that you yourself hear. That material's not so good at sound leakage, however.
The cloth fabric around the earcups provide betters temperature control than leather or leatherette, so these are well-suited to gamers in hotter climates or who tend to heat up when gaming. Particularly if you get a bit, well, let's say animated when you get that clutch kill or earn a chicken dinner. The trade-off here is that since the fit isn't that snug, the headset can move around more easily on your head. As with previous Void models though, it distributes its weight well and doesn't dig in across the head or around the ears. It's easy to make precise adjustments with, and even though users accustomed to wheels will have to adjust, it's a superior design overall.Īt 0.9 pounds (390g) this headset's on the heavier side. The corner of the left cup also features a volume control, which looks like a scroll wheel but behaves like a sprung switch. The left earcup features the mic mute button, but I'm displeased with its placement, since it can easily be hit accidentally when putting on or taking off the headset. I prefer detachable mics and thinner designs that hold their shape more accurately, but the mic's more than good enough to work well at range if it should happen to slip away from you (we'll get into that later).Īround the earcups are two gloss areas where the RGB brand logos live, and there's a matte plastic accent running along the outer edge However, it's plenty long enough to place properly when you do want it, and it stays roughly in place once you bend the rubberized arm to taste. There's another lighting area in a small band around the mic that pulses red when muted, and the mic arm is on a hinge that can be pushed up out of the way if you don't feel like talking.

You can, of course, use Corsair's iCUE software to customize the lighting if you wish. These logos are also RGB zones and cycle through the gamut of colors by default.

Corsair really knows how to nail the grown-up aesthetic, and it demonstrates it with this model, keeping the branding relatively restrained with a light gray 'Corsair' offset on one side of the headband and a brand logo in the middle of each earcup.
