Corsair Vengeance 2100 wireless headset review - Introduction

Corsair Vengeance 2100 Dolby 7.1 Wireless Gaming Headset

Today we test and review the all new Corsair Vengeance 2100 wireless headset. The Vengeance 2100 is an updated model from the 2000 series and comes with nice big 50mm drivers and revised USB drivers that now include Dolby surround sound, capable of offering 16-bit/48 KHz playback. All new is a Dolby Pro Logic IIx certification and a new color theme; all black. Over the years Corsair has moved from being a memory company towards a much more diverse entity targeted at gamers. Memory, SSDs, power supplies, chassis', keyboards, mouses, cooling and sure, audio products as well. On the audio front we have reviewed the SP2500 speakers for example which was their first attempt in the audio market, with good success. Last year the first headsets arrived with amongst them the mighty Vengeance 2000. Today we look at the updated and now all black 2100.

Corsair added a new model and it's 100% wireless. The new model name is the Vengeance 2100 Wireless 7.1 Gaming Headset which proclaims to be a 7.1 surround wireless gaming headset that brings in realistic multi-channel-like gaming audio. The battery charge can bring you the comfort of 10 hours of usage. Next to that, the drivers used in combination with a software suite produce audio at a level that makes the V2100 exceptional to listen to.

The Vengeance 2100 works through a USB transmitter (surround-sound headset) and comes with nice big 50mm drivers and revised USB drivers that include surround sound, capable of offering 16-bit/48 KHz playback. Being tied to USB means you'll be tied to a chip that is supported, Corsair uses a C-Media chip (likely CM6302) which has support for Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP. Windows 8 is supported as well but currently you will need to download the latest Beta driver for that. The product will carry a 2 year warranty ensuring that the Vengeance will love you long time. Anyway, let's read onwards and find out how the new wireless Corsair Vengeance 2100 headset works and sounds.
