For gamers, the eternal struggle is real. Juggling a PC, a console, and a phone often means a tangle of wires and multiple headsets. What if you could have one premium headset that seamlessly bridges all your gaming worlds? Corsair has just unveiled the solution with not one, but two new flagship audio offerings: the Corsair Void v2 Max Wireless and the Corsair Void v2 Max Wireless for Xbox.
Priced at an MSRP of $149.99, these headsets are designed to be the one-stop audio solution for the modern, multi-platform gamer, packing high-end features like Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio, incredible battery life, and the unique ability to connect to two devices at once.
One Headset to Rule Them All? Platform Compatibility Explained
The core of Corsair's new release is a two-pronged approach to cover every major gaming platform.
- The standard Void v2 Max Wireless is your go-to for PC, Mac, PS4, PS5, and smartphones.
- The Void v2 Max Wireless for Xbox variant, as the name implies, expands that compatibility to include the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S family, while also supporting PC, PS4/PS5, and phones.
This strategic split ensures that no matter your primary gaming rig, there's a Void v2 Max designed specifically for you. You can find more details and explore the specific features for each model on their official pages: the Corsair Void v2 Max Wireless and the Corsair Void v2 Max Wireless for Xbox.
The Power of Dual Wireless and Marathon Battery Life
Cutting the cord has never been more flexible. Both headsets support simultaneous 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connections. This means you can be immersed in a game on your PC via the low-latency 2.4GHz USB dongle (included in the box) while staying connected to your phone for taking calls or listening to a podcast—all without ever switching headsets.
But a wireless headset is only as good as its battery. Corsair seems to have tackled this head-on, boasting a staggering up to 70 hours of runtime on a single charge using the 2.4GHz connection. If you're using the more efficient Bluetooth, that number skyrockets to an incredible 130 hours. For those moments when you forget to charge, a quick 15-minute boost provides an additional 6 hours of playtime, ensuring you’re never out of the action for long.
Immersive Audio and Personalized Sound
At the heart of the experience are custom-tuned 50mm drivers delivering a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, promising rich bass and crisp highs. The real star for immersive gameplay, however, is the integration of Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio. This technology creates a three-dimensional soundscape, allowing you to hear the precise direction of footsteps, reloads, and environmental cues, giving you a competitive edge.
For the audiophiles and tinkerers, Corsair offers two paths to audio perfection. On PC, you can use the Corsair iCUE software to customize the EQ, lighting, and more. Alternatively, you can utilize the Soundworks SoundID app, which creates a personalized audio profile tailored to your unique hearing, ensuring the sound is perfect for you.
Communication Clarity Meets AI Power
Your squad needs to hear you clearly. The Void v2 Max series features a flip-to-mute, noise-canceling boom microphone with a 100Hz to 8kHz frequency response. For PC gamers with a compatible NVIDIA RTX graphics card, the headset takes clarity a step further by supporting NVIDIA Broadcast AI technology. This can dramatically reduce background noise like clacking mechanical keyboards or room ambience, making your voice come through cleanly and professionally.
Built for All-Day Gaming Comfort
Weighing in at a lightweight 0.67 lbs (0.303 kg), the Void v2 Max is designed for those long gaming sessions. It features plush memory foam ear pads wrapped in breathable microfiber fabric, creating a comfortable seal that helps with both passive noise isolation and overall wearability.
In their official press release, Corsair positions these headsets as a "leveled-up" audio solution. With their extensive platform support, dual wireless capability, Dolby Atmos, and exceptional battery life, the Void v2 Max Wireless and its Xbox sibling are compelling contenders for anyone looking to invest in a single, high-quality headset that can truly do it all. They are available now for $149.99.
