Music makes u lose control

Audio (Music)

The Audio performance of the VOID is pretty great once you configure the unit properly.

• Select pure direct
• Disable Dolby Surround
• Then manually configure the equalizer
• Save as default profile

Now I did use an EQ preset here, the default sounds way too flat and unbalanced. But realistically that's the way it should be set up. For listening to music, definitely turn off Dolby Surround.

Once you've balanced out the EQ setting and likely saved it as a default preference then the headset pumps out some strong yet dynamic sounding bass, clear voices and an overall excellent sound reproduction.

BTW the EQ sliders are linked together, so when you move 64Hz the 32 and 125 Hz sliders will move a bit as well. A suggestion for Corsair, we need individually/independently controllable EQ sliders. 

For our first song we (as always) start up Triggerfinger with a cover from Lykke Li's I Follow Rivers. The drummer in this band uses a bass-drum the size of a friggin' cannon, seriously, hobbits could live in there. It is an acoustic live session. The treble range has improved over previous models and there is less hiss. Then again, this is a Youtube recording with poor conversions. 

BTW hint also -- listen to Cherry at 4:31 (if you are in a funky rock mood). The stereo image is very clear and comfortable to listen to. It has a wide musical spectrum fully loaded with detailed sound really. With the settings above (perhaps a hint more bass and treble according to your personal flavor) the VOID provides a very good mix of deep bass, good voices and very nice treble levels.

The second song is lay me Down from Avicii. You can drift away in the funky rhythm, impressive voices, the headset delivers enough but does not manage to impress. The guitar starts a little flat at the beginning. We hear pretty clear sounding drums, a snazzy bass-line and a clear sounding keyboard solo tops it off. I can confirm that you will likely need an EQ adjustment to get the sound up to snuff. 
 

Once you've balanced out your preferred EQ setting and likely saved it as a default preference then the outs pretty nice sharp yet dynamic bass, clear voices and an overall funky sounding sound reproduction.

Missy Elliot ft Ciara & Fatman Scoop, Lose Control. What can I say, whenever I hear this song I get that uplifted and energetic feel. Missy sounds just like we need her to sound with a nice phat beat complementing the rhymes.

Let's go
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Here we go now
Here we go now
Here we go now
Here we go now
Watch out now
Music make u lose control ...
 

For the final song we, as always, pay our respects to Adam MCA Yauch. We load up a FLAC of the Beastie Boys - Three MC's And One DJ. We again use the aforementioned EQ and Surround settings. Not surprisingly we have tuned the audio levels to our preference, and Three MC's And One DJ sounds great. in the video, you can skip to 1:49 and the song starts (if ya wanna skip da intro).
