I’ve been on the hunt lately for a mid-range gaming headset that doesn’t force me to choose between comfort and performance, and the Corsair Void 2 Wireless Gaming Headset lands squarely in that sweet spot. Priced at AU$199, it sits among a crowded field—where every extra feature seems to push prices north of AU$250—and yet it manages to pack in creature comforts and audio chops you’d expect from a pricier model.
As someone who switches between demon slaying on PC, Countless zoom calls on my work laptop, and late-night lofi sessions writing these reviews, I appreciate how Corsair has balanced price, practicality and polish without skimping on build quality. This is definitely one of the better gaming headsets out right now.
From the first moment I put the Void 2 on, its lightweight, floating headband design felt more like a thoughtful embrace than a clamp. The memory-foam earcups, wrapped in breathable microfiber, cushioned my ears during long sessions without getting uncomfortable. Weighing just over 300 grams, it’s not the lightest thing in the world but it surprisingly fades away on your head, and the adjustable band never loosened or pinched—two issues I’ve battled on other headsets in this price bracket. This is a great looking headphone that is clearly gamer focused but not garish.
When I fired up my Doom: The Dark Ages, the 50 mm neodymium drivers delivered a soundstage so clear I could pinpoint demons rushing me and sound projectile cues coming towards me. Switching to Dolby Atmos spatial audio via Corsair’s iCUE software, explosions and ambient cues took on a three-dimensional presence that genuinely pulled me into the game world.
Music benefits too: tracks sounded rich and balanced, with plenty of bass to feel punchy but never so much that mids and highs got muddied. It doesn’t have the timbre and spaciousness that its more expensive brother the Virtuoso Max has but still quite enjoyable for music listening.
Speaking of iCUE, you can adjust various audio and lighting settings but much to my disappointment, the Void 2 doesn’t support Corsair’s excellent SoundID. I think that’s a huge miss as it would really help a lot of people very easily dial in a custom sound profile without fiddling with EQ sliders.
I’m also a habitual multitasker, so having both ultra-low-latency 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth in one headset was a game-changer. Jumping from PC gaming to my work Macbook Pro felt seamless, and I never once noticed audio dropouts across my living room. The touted 70-hour battery life on 2.4Ghz and 150 hours on Bluetooth proved realistic in my day-to-day.
I used a mixture of the two and I’ve gone two weeks without charging. That’s great and I doubt anyone will complain about the longevity of these cans. And, if you do find yourself in a pickle, a quick 15-minute top-up can add around six more hours—more than enough to finish off a guild night or interstate flight.
On voice calls, the omnidirectional boom mic delivered clean, consistent clarity. Background noise gets filtered out without making my voice sound hollow, and teammates told me I came through crisp at every volume. The on-ear volume rocker and mute switch are intuitively placed, and diving into iCUE for EQ adjustments or subtle RGB tweaks was painless though not something I did often.
In Australia the Void 2 Wireless undercuts many rivals while offering superior battery life and comfort. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 Wireless sits at AU$199.99 but feels heavier and runs shorter on juice. HyperX’s Cloud III Wireless also lands around AU$199 yet misses out on Dolby Atmos tuning and dual-mode connectivity.
Razer’s Barracuda X Chroma pushes up to AU$239.95 and swaps fabric-lined cushions for rigid plastic cups, losing some of the immersive comfort you get with the Void 2. The Corsair Void 2 Wireless strikes the best balance of fit, features and audio fidelity in the mid-range market—it’s the one I’d reach for first.
