Here we have the dongle (wireless USB adapter) and 1.5m USB charging cable. You charge the headphones by connecting them with the small USB connector. We got over 10 hours on one battery charge; that is long, but not the claimed 16 hrs from Corsair. We did have the lighting system at full brightness with animations active, we're sure that'll eat some power. Half an hour per charge will get you going on your gaming spree again. If it should happen that the battery is empty during gaming, then just plug it into the USB port and you can use it while charging.

You can place the wireless USB adapter into your PC USB port. The wireless range is actually pretty good, we got over 10 meters range out of it. Even at the floor below (through concrete) in most spots we still had good reception up-to a 5 meters range of the space above us. if you are out of range it is either sound or no sound, there's no quality loss in the sense that it either works or simply doesn't.

Obviously USB wireless also has a downside, you can't connect these headphones to your HIFI equipment at all -- so the headset is purely for usage with your PC. In fact for this reason alone we think it would be good if manufacturers like Corsair would make a move towards more widespread Bluetooth.

The VOID is pretty sweet TBH - a nice and sturdy feel with proper headphone cups that will cover your ears, and do check out that black or optional black/yellow design. The VOID is your typical big headset, circumaural ear coupling, very good padded headband, sealed back earcups, but these have the exception of (proclaimed 7.1) surround sound courtesy of Dolby. We'll get into it later as really, this is a stereo headset with a virtualized surround layer on top of it to create the illusion of 7.1 surround.

So yes, the VOID RGB is a standard stereo headset with two 50mm drivers, but the headset uses Dolby virtualization to emulate surround sound -- that's a big difference. So this is not 'real' 7.1 channel sound as in 7 speakers and a sub. The big thing here is that software surround is a lot less complicated than stuffing a pair of headphones with 8 speakers. This is an ongoing discussion, 8 drivers in the earcups still deliver sounds to your 'two' ears right? Think about it for a while.
