Corsair VOID v2 MAX Wireless Review

About Corsair

Corsair has been in the PC peripherals game since 1994, originally making memory modules before expanding into one of the most recognizable names in gaming hardware. Today, they cover everything from mechanical keyboards and gaming mice to full PC builds, capture cards, and of course—gaming headsets. Their VOID lineup has been a staple mid-range gaming headset series for nearly a decade, earning a solid reputation for comfort and reliable wireless connectivity. The VOID v2 MAX Wireless is the latest evolution of that line, released in late 2025 as a step-up version of the well-received VOID Wireless v2.

What is the Corsair VOID v2 MAX Wireless?

The VOID v2 MAX Wireless is Corsair's new mid-range flagship in the VOID lineup, priced at $149.99. Think of it as the VOID Wireless v2 — which already had a strong reception—but with two meaningful upgrades bolted on: simultaneous dual 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connectivity, and Sonarworks SoundID support through the iCUE software suite. Everything else, the drivers, ear cups, microphone, and physical design, is essentially the same headset.

That's an important thing to understand going into this review. If you're on the fence about upgrading from the standard VOID v2, the answer is: only if those two features are things you actively want. If you're buying fresh, it's a different conversation.

The headset comes in Carbon Black and White variants, with an Xbox-specific SKU sold separately that adds Xbox Wireless protocol support.

Build Quality & Design

Out of the box, you get the headset itself, a USB 3.0 Type-A wireless dongle, a USB-A to USB-C charging cable, and a QR code linking to the manual (yes, a QR code instead of a paper manual—this is 2026 after all).

The build is almost entirely plastic. At roughly 10 oz, it's on the lighter side for an over-ear gaming headset, which contributes to that comfort we'll talk about more in a second. Nothing here feels particularly premium—this isn't a metal-reinforced headband situation—but it also doesn't feel cheap. It feels durable enough for daily use without any creak or flex concerns.

Design-wise, the VOID line has always had that distinctive angular trapezoid ear cup silhouette that is very recognizable. Two slim RGB light strips run down the sides of each cup—it's subtle and honestly looks pretty clean compared to some of the RGB chaos that many gaming sets have. The downside: you can't turn the RGB off without going into iCUE on a PC first. If you're on console or Bluetooth away from your rig, those little glowing sails stay on at whatever profile was last saved. Minor in the grand scheme, but worth knowing.

Controls are found on the left ear cup—a power button (also used to switch connections), a customizable multi-function button below it, and a scroll wheel for volume. The scroll wheel is where things get a little wobbly. It has an unexpected plastic springiness to it, and while I don't mind it, it's cheap relative to the rest of the build, and the overall on-ear control layout can feel unintuitive until you've used it enough to build muscle memory. The microphone arm flips up to mute, which is well implemented, but it is not detachable, which is important to know.

Sound Quality

Overall Sound Quality

The VOID v2 MAX Wireless sounds good for gaming, movies, and music. The default tuning leans toward a bass-heavy, V-shaped sound profile that prioritizes the fun factor over accuracy. It sounds good for most games, but it can struggle a bit when precision matters. As far as gaming headsets go, the audio is good but I would not say that these are audiophile quality; with a focus on convenience and features.

The Void V2 MAX has plenty of bass, letting you hear explosions, footsteps, and cinematic moments with a sense of impact. During music listening, this makes for a booming, fun listen, though at times the bass can slightly overshadow the mids during busier songs.

Vocals come through naturally, and dialogue in games is easy to understand, though the low and high frequencies are more emphasised on the V2 MAX. The midrange frequencies come across a little repressed compared to bass and treble. This isn't very noticeable during gaming or cinema, but becomes more noticeable when listening to music closely.

Through Corsair's iCUE software for the headset, you can use Sonarworks SoundID on PC, which helps significantly here if you take the time to run the calibration process—it pulls the mids forward and tightens the overall presentation noticeably.

Highs are present and crisp—there's enough air and detail up top that the headset doesn't sound dull. In FPS titles like Valorant, gunshots crack, ambient environmental sounds have definition, and higher-frequency effects land clearly.

Comfort & Isolation

This is where the VOID v2 MAX really excels. The memory foam ear cushions wrapped in breathable microfiber fabric are plush, and the lightweight frame means you will be comfortable, even during multi-hour sessions. The clamping force is low-to-moderate—enough that it stays put on your head, but not so much that it's squeezing you uncomfortably. Glasses wearers will appreciate this— there's very little pressure on the sides of the frame, making this one of the better options out there for four-eyed gamers.

For a headband, the padding is thick and well-distributed. Honestly, the Void V2 MAX is just a very comfortable, enjoyable headphone to wear.

As far as isolation goes, the V2 MAX is on the lower end. The seal isn't tight enough to block out significant ambient noise, and if you're gaming in a noisy environment, you will hear some bleed-in.

Connectivity & Features

This is another highlight. The VOID v2 MAX Wireless runs on simultaneous 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth, meaning you can have your PC connected via the USB dongle and your phone connected via Bluetooth at the same time—switching between or blending both. The one-dongle setup covers PC, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, and mobile without any re-pairing wizardry. You plug the dongle in, and it connects. That's it.

Wireless range hits up to 50 feet on 2.4GHz with a clear line of sight. Through walls, you're looking at 20-30 feet realistically, which is plenty for a typical setup.

Battery life is outstanding: up to 70 hours on 2.4GHz wireless and up to 130 hours on Bluetooth. Fast charging gives you about 6 hours of use from a 15-minute charge—great for when you forget to charge your headset.

The microphone performs well for its intended purpose—online voice chat and casual calls. It adds a little body to vocals, which keeps it sounding reasonably natural. There is a noise gate that occasionally clips your voice mid-sentence if you pause naturally, which is worth knowing. NVIDIA Broadcast compatibility (requires RTX GPU) can clean things up further if your setup supports it.

Final Verdict

The Corsair VOID v2 MAX Wireless is a headset that's excellent at a few specific things —battery life, comfort, and multi-platform wireless flexibility—and solid at everything else. At $150, it sits in a bracket where the competition is stiff, and the stock tuning with lightly recessed mids and bass bleed can take away from pure music listening.

That said, the features available through iCUE allow you to custom EQ and even have it auto EQ for you according to your hearing, which can help counterbalance some of the tuning. If you're someone who games across multiple platforms, values marathon comfort, and will actually run Sonarworks SoundID on PC to address the tuning, this headset is pretty compelling. The bones are good. The execution just needed a little more refinement in the audio department to truly justify the price.

If you can catch it on sale around $120, which it is actually on sale for at the time of this article, the Corsair v2 MAX Wireless is a pretty great option.
