Such is the case with
the CORSAIR VOID
PRO RGB Wireless. A
mouthful, but also a
premium headset that

from years ago.
Slow and steady
progress has
seen this headset
improve in many
ways and today we
have what is easily
CORSAIR’s best effort
to date.
On the opposite
end of that and for the
price sensitive buyer,
CORSAIR recently
released the HS50 which
comes in at a much lower
price and lacks any sort
of USB connectivity (and of
course audio processing).
It is a more traditional option
making use of the standard three
strip stereo mini-jack for both the
microphone and stereo output. This
setup allows you to use the headset

audio and of course a dedicated sound
card should you so happen to have one.
Personally, I’m still partial to this
option primarily because I already have
a dedicated sound card for my gaming
and general PC usage on at least one
machine. Moreover, motherboard audio
solutions and of course the electronics
used within USB headsets are simply
not able to match the audio fidelity and
acoustics that a dedicated sound card
is able to deliver right now.
That said, these USB headphones
have come a long way and they have
improved sonically. I do imagine a
