Looking for a wallet-friendly gaming headset with big feature support? The Corsair Void Wireless V2 is currently marked down to just $80 at both Best Buy and Amazon, a healthy $50 discount from their usual retail price. This lightweight yet capable gaming headset was already a great buy before the discount, with wide compatibility and a comfortable design built for long grinds.
They’re one of the more comfortable gaming headsets that I’ve had the opportunity to review, thanks to a combination of their super lightweight build and breathable mesh earcups, and they even fit my oversized noggin. Because they don’t have ANC, they have a much more open and natural sound profile, which is nice for anyone who needs to still be aware of their surroundings while deep in a round of Arc Raiders.
One of the big selling points is Dolby Atmos, a spatial audio implementation that’s fairly uncommon at this price point, and basically unheard of at the marked down price. It’s only supported in a handful of games, but even without it the headset has great spatial audio support that I found particularly good for games like Satisfactory where it’s more of an immersive addition than a mechanical benefit.
Where a lot of headsets will lock you down to one or two consoles, the Corsair Void Wireless V2 is happy to work with a wide variety of systems, thanks to both Bluetooth and low latency 2.4GHz via the USB dongle. That means you can game on PC, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and even iOS/Android for mobile gaming. With a claimed battery life of up to 70 hours in ideal conditions, you won’t need to worry about charging often, although I’m not sure the mesh earcups would be great for a long flight.
While the Corsair Void Wireless V2 is featured on our best gaming headsets roundup, other headsets undercut it at the same price point. With the discount, I’m very happy to recommend the Corsair over some of the other picks, particularly if you have a bigger head, or would prefer a less isolated experience like some of the other headsets provide.
