Corsair Gaming VOID Surround
A Hybrid Stereo Gaming Headset with Dolby 7.1 Surround Adapter

Corsair has updated their Gaming line of headsets with a new spawn, the VOID Surround Dolby headset. This Dolby headphone certified VOID is another model in the Corsair gaming series and both through a mini-jack (for usage on your phone or console as well comes with a USB adapter for the PC, which when used allows for Dolby Surround 7.1 (virtualized) gaming. All that is based on the all familiar and trusty 50mm neodymium drivers and the Corsair CUE software suite.

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, computer mice, cooling and sure, audio products as well. On the audio front Corsair has now moved products to their professional gaming line called 'Corsair gaming'. With nice phat 50mm drivers this headset is a hybrid. Hybrid in the sense that you can just use a mini-jack to connect it towards your PC headphone out, your smartphone, your console output. Obviously it'll sound great with the two 50mm neodymium driver. For PC users there is now a little extra available, this kit includes a mini USB controller that takes over as audio card and offers Dolby certifies virtualized 7.1 sound. Not bad eh ? This headset that brings in realistic multi-channel-like gaming audio. Once connected though the USB port this headset has support for Windows 10, 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP. Windows 10 is obviously the primary OS these days for games. You will need to download the latest driver for the full Corsair Utility Engine software suite which allows you to tweak audio to your audiophile preference. Truthfully and I'll say it out loud and proud immediately, Dolby surround is a feature we found ourselves disabling quite a lot.

The new headset is capable of offering a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response. The product will carry a 2 year warranty ensuring that the Corsair Gaming VOID Surround will love you long time. But lets read on-wards and find out how the new Corsair Gaming VOID Surround headset works and sounds. But have a peek at that new looks, yep red accents! Hit the next page please.
