Corsair launched the original VOID WIRELESS in 2017, and now, nearly a decade later, the VOID WIRELESS v2 arrives as a reimagined successor. With fresh internals, Dolby Atmos support, dual wireless modes, and an impressive 70-hour battery life, the v2 refines what made the original stand out: a cleaner, more modern look that fits today’s setups.
Unlike the original VOID Wireless from 2017, which had that unmistakable yellow-and-black “gamer look,” the v2 opts for cleaner, more setup-friendly tones: Carbon (Black) and White. While the new colorways are sleek, I kind of miss the bold flair of that iconic yellow.

The VOID WIRELESS v2 retains Corsair’s distinctive angular silhouette, but the updated colorways make it feel more mature and versatile. The memory foam ear cushions and breathable microfiber fabric make it supremely wearable, even for long-haul sessions. At just 303g, it’s lightweight enough to avoid neck strain, and the floating headband distributes pressure evenly.
The 50mm custom-tuned drivers on the VOID WIRELESS v2 sound fantastic. Dolby Atmos on PC, and the Tempest 3D AudioTech on PlayStation 5 — it’s all super immersive. Directional sound is sharp, the balance is clean, and cinematic moments hit hard; the headset delivers a balanced sound profile. The inclusion of Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio provides a 3D audio experience, enhancing immersion in games. You get rich environmental cues, spatial clarity, and depth that make games (and even music or Netflix) feel fully immersive. While the default bass levels might seem subdued to some, adjustments via the iCUE software or Dolby Access app can tailor the sound to individual preferences.
Then I tried to use it on my MacBook. The sound instantly went from “wow” to “why?”, like I was trapped inside a tin can while someone crumpled foil nearby. There were also weird popping sounds and random disconnections whenever I moved my Bluetooth mouse. I was convinced the headset was broken.
Here’s the kicker: I had already updated the firmware using iCUE on my Windows PC. But apparently, that’s not enough. Corsair’s iCUE for MacOS requires a separate firmware update, and it only works if the headset is connected via the wireless USB dongle, not Bluetooth. But MacBooks don’t have USB-A ports. So, unless you have a USB-C to USB-A adapter, you literally cannot perform the firmware update on Mac. That means you’ll be stuck with garbage-tier audio until you dig up the right cable and adapter combo. Once updated? Sounds great across the board. But Corsair, if you’re listening: maybe let us update via Bluetooth in the future?
On the other hand, the omnidirectional mic is also surprisingly solid. With NVIDIA Broadcast noise suppression, teammates can hear me clearly even during chaotic background noise. The flip-to-mute function remains a simple, intuitive feature that works reliably. Its flip-to-mute feature adds convenience, allowing users to mute the mic by simply raising it.
One of the headset’s most convenient features is its ability to connect in two different ways: wirelessly through Corsair’s low-latency 2.4GHz connection (using the included USB dongle), or via Bluetooth. This means you can use it with everything from your gaming PC to your phone or Nintendo Switch. Even better, switching between devices is super straightforward. Just hold down the power button for a few seconds, and the headset will toggle between Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless mode. You’ll know which mode you’re in because the LED light on the headset changes—blue for Bluetooth, green for 2.4GHz wireless. It’s a smooth, hassle-free way to bounce between gaming on your console and answering a call on your phone without digging into settings or re-pairing. It’s quick, intuitive, and makes moving between gaming and mobile devices seamless.
That flexibility is huge, but there’s a limitation worth noting: you can’t use both wireless modes simultaneously. That means if you’re connected to your PS5 (or any console) via the 2.4GHz dongle, you won’t be able to listen to music or take calls from your phone via Bluetooth at the same time.
Battery life was also straight-up impressive. Corsair wasn’t joking when they promised up to 70 hours of playtime. In testing, it easily lasted days without needing a charge. Even better: a 15-minute fast charge gives you up to 6 hours of extra use, perfect for when you forgot to plug it in! One smart feature worth highlighting is the built-in power-saving function. The headset will automatically shut down after a period of inactivity if it doesn’t detect any audio output. This helps preserve battery life, especially if you forget to manually power it off between sessions.
The Corsair VOID Wireless v2 refines a fan-favorite headset with upgraded features, better compatibility, and cleaner aesthetics. It’s an ideal pick for PC, console, and mobile gamers looking for comfort, sound quality, and long battery life. While there are minor areas for improvement, such as the visibility of seams on the ear cups, the headset’s performance and features make it a commendable choice for gamers. And hey, while we appreciate the modern Black and White finishes, we wouldn’t complain if Corsair brought back that bold yellow-and-black look from the original!
At an MSRP of $119.99 USD, the VOID WIRELESS v2 sits in a very competitive sweet spot. For the price, you’re getting dual wireless connectivity, Dolby Atmos support, long battery life, and a surprisingly good mic, all of which are features typically reserved for more expensive headsets. While some similarly priced headsets may offer a sleeker build or slightly better out-of-the-box audio tuning, few offer the same balance of versatility, comfort, and platform compatibility. It’s a great value for multi-platform gamers who want solid performance without crossing into the premium price tier.
