- Are the sacrifices of an $80 wireless headset too great? Does a $350 option bring enough to the table to justify the price? Will asking questions repeatedly to build suspense ever get old? Find out next time in this video! (Except the last question--That never gets answered)

Tryed both, works great with MS Paint. Very epic experience.
I wonder if I can play Bookworm Adventures with them, on my Properly Cleaned Metal Computer.
Hmmm ,Ur argument is valid , does it gives me more fps in MSpaint too ?
@@namnnamn1911 Only if you get the RGB version
Does MS Paint have a "colorblind" mode?
Tried*
Edit: I overlooked that the Void Pro volume knob can be pressed inward to switch between profiles. Nice!
Nice
the Void also has an Equalizer in the Corsair software and you can enable voice prompts when it turns on/off, goes into standby etc. by default it just makes beep and boop noises that tell you nothing.
@@GRLDT Nice
Long press also activates/deactivates Surround, so you can check what sounds best without opening iCue time and again
@@ZeroB4NG Mine out of the box talked when the battery was low . To be honest , it was a referb unit I ordered . Saw the cheap price and ordered it from Frys.com . Been a good headset , replacing my logitech wireless headset that literally fell apart and needs a battery . The Corsairs battery is getting weak now too .
Kyle: "80$ is cheap"
*looking at my 20$ headset*
My headset: "Don't you DARE!"
you looking at your 20$ headset
Me looking at my 2years old 10$ headset
Well, I've got a 5$ one.
So I yeeted you both.
I tried playing with some $2 ear buds I used to use in the gym... wouldn't recommend them... now that I think about it they weren't even good in the gym.
Looking at my Amazons Choice WIRED headset...it has a mic, you can hear sounds, and it has RGB...wait no it just has B. Good enough for the girls I go out with!

nice
If she's letting you know it's connected....
@@atactician9130 Well judging by your comment, you are so far back in the closet that you are in fucking Narnia!
sorry can’t hear the difference with my $8 headphones
your next upgrade will be hearing aids
Looooool LlllMmmmFffAaaaOooo
EVOLICIOUS I have hearing aids :) it’s annoying lol it’s not comfortable wearing the headset it hurt my ear thing like it pushes pressure on my ear lol
Did you change the setting for the recorded audio with the void pro because windows ten sets it to telephone quality out of the box and u can change it to dvd quality in the sound settings
How do u do this because I have the void pro
Is this some bluetooth related standard because dvd quality are not standardised. It uses lossy encryption and support multiple sampling frequencies and bitrates
@@davidybarra842 right click the speaker in the bottom right, then click sounds, then go to recordings right click the void pro then properties then advance and change it to the highest option
i just checked this for my microphones and my webcam had it set to tape recorder quality. im sorry what windows?
Took a minute to find but windows had mine set to CD quality
I’ve had the Void’s for about 4 years now and love them. Awesome surround sound for FPS, their comfortable and great battery life. I paid $130 because I got the yellow ones. I don’t care about how the mic sounds as I use a stand alone mic on the desk.
I have had the void pros for close to a year and I love them. That being said, I've never had a higher end headset, but have been completely satisfied with these so far.
I love the void pros, I use them all the time on PC and console
Shitty driver
They work on PS4?
@@leafyslizardsquadhisss8641 yes but you dont get full functionality
@@leafyslizardsquadhisss8641 They sure do, they work great too. I love the use of quick mute, super helpful. I don't think the volume control on their works but I'm not sure I've never actually tried it I often forget there even there.
@@andersyes1345 mine does. Mine works perfectly. The exact same as if I was using them on pc
Great videos. You've helped me alot in my own build.
So professor...
What's gonna happen in season 4 of money heist?
Thanks for making this video, I've been considering picking up a headset lately so this is very helpful!
Thanks for the review. I went and grabbed a Void Pro from Amazon Renewed. Cheap can really now be used here.
Just got the void pro RGB and never looked back, very comfortable.
6:46 I think that text at the bottom may be wrong lol.
Whoops, never mind.
No its right
@@samcoates9379 them shutting down after a couple of minutes won't drain the battery faster...
Crap yeah sorry i apologise
@@theresalwaysanotherway3996 I think the way Sennheiser has it is like Bose wireless headphones. They go into a sleep mode if theres no sound after like 30 seconds and then turn off completely but turn on if theres a signal. However the voids turn off completely after several minutes and you need to turn them back on yourself. Just an assumption not sure entirely
@@theresalwaysanotherway3996 drains battery faster (than the GSP 670 which auto shuts off after a few seconds)
This is the review I needed! In the market for a new headset and I wanted to go wireless 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
7:41 flexing on the homeless I see lol
Kyle: cheap vs expensive
Me: 80 dollar is still much do
80 dollars for headphones is on the lower end, but yes not "cheap." I use the voids for gaming on my desktop but when I am out or at work, I have my Bose NC 700s and those were 400 dollars.
@akmed calamary you can afford a 80$ burger but will you pay for it?its relative
@akmed calamary you seem nice and really smart 🙂
@akmed calamary Was I wrong? Are you not nice and smart?
Then get a job? Wtf
For $350 I think I would get a decent set of BeyerDynamics or Sennheiser and a modmic.
Lee Adkins You could maybe even get used Dt1990s and Modmic for 350$. Might not be wireless but way better sounding.
this is 100 the thing. i got a DT770 80ohm and a AT2020 XLR with focusrite solo for under 270
I have a Audio Technica M50x + Audioengine D1 DAC + the ModMic 4. The combination is a little more expensive than this, but the audio quality is just absolutely phenomenal. However, I'm not really happy with the ModMic. The extra cable is annoying, and the glue of the magnetic thing you put on the headphones isn't the best. I'm thinking about replacing the ModMic with some standalone mic. Might have to get an arm to ensure the ramming the keyboard doesn't cause too much noise...
It's tough to find a good combination for both listening to music, and actually gaming...
Hell you could find some used or on sale sen 750s
none of that stuff is wireless though, which is the entire point of the headsets in this video.
i do use my Corsair VOID with the Oculus Rift... wires are an instant disqualification for VR gaming.
I have the GSP 600 (wired version). Love them. Haven't had an issue with comfort and I love the sound.
Been using the Corsair void pro for about a year now, and i have put it through hell. Dropped it multiple times and yoinked it from the cable and it still works like new. Only bad thing is the audio is not as loud at all, even at max settings
4:57 “It’s kind of a smooth, sexy feeling knob” British people will understand 😂
"Hello, my name is Kyle and I live in a house, and it is really fun over here because we have a house and houses are good". His most inner unscripted words
Astro a50 gen 2 have been lasting me 4 years and still feel brand new. Those are my favorite wireless headset.
I use void pro wireless and I love the audio quality and the simplicity of it. I’ve never had complaints about the mic quality and I stream with it.
Me: Bearly able to afford 400$ GPU... Kyle: 350$ wirles headphones...🤣🤣😥
To be fair, that GPU will be outdated in a year or 2. Headphones last a lot longer than that.
ocelotxp you have clearly never seen how some folks treat their headphones 😁
ocelotxp hell nah rtx 2060 super or rx5700 will both last atleast 3 years like 1060 it will last a year longer by then it will be a low tier card
r/engrish
i dont even have a GPU
80$ is cheap? God damn i must be real broke lmao
In the context of what you get for your money, i suppose you could argue it's "cheap". It's totally worth it, but $80 is still $80.
Put it this way, I won't be replacing my Corsair HS2100 headset until (A) The battery dies and it won't run from usb anymore. Or (B) It falls apart to the point where no amount of gaffer tape will hold it together.
You are because $80 is cheap
@@Caleb_Torres 😔
0:05 At this point he is just showing off that how he throws away cheap stuff... Love it
Kyle I use a $40 set of wired Corsair Void Pro head set...... I mostly use them for streaming..... Could not be happier at all....... very happy with the way they perform best $40 I ever spent
Hmm interesting. When jay reviewed it he said the sound was really really good, however the mic was complete crap and was real disappointed especially being sennheiser.
Hey kyle u think u could review the sennheiser x drop pc37x? That one i hear has great sound and great mic especially at its price
Apparently from another comment. Jay didnt change the default setting in Windows 10 from telephone to DVD quality
@@origamipostit you can't change the setting on the seinhiser, jay showed in the video the sound quality was tape recorder and the option to change it was greyed out.
For the GSP670 you're paying a lot for the wireless capabilities. The PC37X is going to beat both of these wireless headsets in sound and mic quality.
i agree, the mic is not alot better in the sennheiser, u really paying that much for sound quality
@@audiofenix From what I've read, the PC37x is just a black version of the G4me One (or however it's spelled) that came out years ago. The GSP 600 is the upgraded version and the GSP 670 added wireless. So these should sound quite a bit better, though I'm not sure they sound $230 better.
do they come with a mirror ? (so you can see the RGB ) LOL
have both the wireless and wired void elites, great headphones. the speaker covers do tend to fall off easy, but not to hard to put back on.
no joke, Ive been looking at wireless headsets for the past week and I can NOT decide what I want. This video is so well timed, THANK YOU!
The name of this suede like material is "Alcantara"
"You never know what you're missing out on until you have it."
Your wisdom is my new life philosophy Kyle. My wife hates you now.
dude this is nuts...as i was watching the video, i was scrolling through the comments and no shit dude, as he said that quote, i was reading yours. I legit thought the video was reading my thoughts hahaha
Love my HyperX Cloud Flight, I think they're a good compromise and are very light and comfortable with good sound and mic quality.
I spent a lot of time watching review videos, this is the first one I've seen from this creator, this guy was born to do reviews he is very good at it
Also the Corsair HS70's! the void were too big and awkward for me and my strange noggin but the HS70's are perfect and usually the same price as the void pro! Corsair really killing it.
Void pro is amazing for my fat head, felt like the HS70's were crushing my skull. I legit have a fat head 😂
Do steelseries arctis 7 vs razer man o war
I've also had the Void Pro for a year. My primary gripe is there is no way to know how much battery is left unless you open iCue, which takes like 3 seconds on my machine for some reason. It would be pretty cool if it would post a notification or something when connected.
Happy to see you actually put the bottle cap that a fan gave you at LTX in the video background!! That's awesome! :)
Literally watching the Walmart pc vid wondering when u would upload😂
Me: Sees the title
So maybe I can find a sub $50 headset
Kyle: $80 and $350
Me:
I guess Linus is better
Honestly, I think the void pro should always have 7.1 on if you are going to do voice chats. It makes separating voices so much easier and less stressful on the ears. Other than that I came from a first gen void to a void pro after my yellow jacket edition broke after a couple years. The difference between the two is honestly so nice and I’ve appreciated all the improvements, especially since I was able to reuse the dongle’s little docking station that came with the yellow jacket, allowing me to place it anywhere on my desk.
This is 100% relevant as I just took delivery on a pair of Void Pros. Thank you!
Says cheap
Me: Laughs
Inside me: cries
"WARNING: High Volume Can Cause Hearing Loss"proceeds to listen to heavy metal
You can and you always should listen to heavy metal in safe conditions. Whoever calls you a p🤫y for listening to music of reasonable volume will end up with damaged hearing. I'm the only moron who goes to death metal concerts with ear plugs in my area. This way I can still keep enjoying that one set of fancy headphones I own. 🙂
Herr Thunder Bringing earplugs to an extremely loud concert is a good idea
When you first use the void pro, it puts the mic quality in Windows on the minimum. When I maxed it out, it actually sounds really good
Just opened youtube thinking I would love to have a new bitwit video to watch....thanks 😁
I thought my $80 logitech set was expensive.
Do a comparison of non gaming weirless headsets like Sony and bose with top to bottom gaming wireless headsets, please 🙏🔥🔥🔥
I've been using my Sony WH-1000XM2 for gaming, and it sounds alright, and nobody is complaining about my voice. So there's my review.
This
@@Gandalf721 How are the 480s?
Not wireless, but I can't find a gaming headset that even comes close to my Audeze LCD-2.
@@Gandalf721 i asked for a bt/rf hybrid and said i'd happily pay another 70 on top of the price for a new set of amiron wireless
They said no :(
i absolutely love my void pros and i game at a fairly high level. like u said, i love the low clamping force and feeling on the ear. ive used many heavier options in the past and i just cant stand them.
I got myself a nice $70 pair of Phillips open backs, I game in my room so ambient noise is no issue. Love them, they are fantastic.
I got a Nvidia ad saying that I should click Alt F4, how rude!
IN A FLASH you know what’s even more rude? Not using the correct grammar. It’s not “a NVIDIA” it’s “an NVIDIA”. You’re welcome.

>$80

If this is cheap then i'm homeless
Good luck on the apartment search buddy! 🤣
80 dollars really isn't that much for a decent pair of wireless headphones.
If this is expensive, then I'm...sorry.
You can get one for 20 bucks on AliExpress
@@ZatoichiWasTaken and it sounds like shit.
I chucked my void pros after about 1 year of use after the battery life tanked and it wouldn't charge fast enough to keep up with the drain while in use. went with the Arctis Pro Wireless, very handy having a swappable battery.
You can change the sleep timer on the void pro using the software.
Can we all agree some sort of desktop mic and/or Antlion mod mic should be in all mic/headphone combo reviews for reference?
IDK why, but having music playing while I'm gaming is insanely distracting. At the same time, in-game music doesn't bother me
Its your headset.
@@bose262010 I dont think so, it's the same when I listen through my regular speakers
Thank you very much for posting this video. Would you compare them to an open back headphones. I have seen many Gamers say. They love open back headphones. I just use headphones from my cell phone. But I will upgrade to this. The $300 sound Awesomeness hands down. Keep up the great work. Have an Amazing weekend.
Oh hey a video with something I own. Love the void pros comfort wise, sound is good. The only thing that isn't that great is the mic, but I use a standalone mic anyways.
I watched this man wearing an void pro while wearing an void pro
Stonks
1:30 I feel the same way about my girlfriend
06:00 i dont need an expensive headset to hear that thud.. haahh
I like my Voids for comfort for sure, my annoyance was the weight and that they were very forward-heavy, so tilting your head front-down (looking at phone), they'd slip forward off the head easily.
My G933s have a horrible headband cushion, aches like hell after a while on the top of the head, despite feeling lighter than the Void, really like the sound and Mic though. Whatever foam they used on the Void was great for the price range.
My Siberia V2, despite not being wireless were fantastic, could use them for days, but I'm pretty sure the most comfortable I've used were my old Creative Fatal1ties.
maybe try doing the actual cheap vs expensive 😂
cz the $80 is expensive atleast for me
like $20 vs $50 vs $100 seems more interesting more
$80 is cheap for a wireless solution. Yea, you can find 20 dollar wired headsets. Are they worth testing? No, because you know exactly what you're going to get, the bare minimum.
@@Tecknition Yeah, my thoughts. Don't get cheap headphone. They're crap. I can recommend Mionix Nash 20 if you can get them cheap. For 40€ they're ridiculously good since they started at 150€ or something like that. Super comfortable, really good sound for a gaming headset and a great mic.
$400 is actually still pretty cheap for a headset. Studio sets go into the 4 even 5 figure bracket. Like he said sound is VERY subjective. What sounds good to you, can (and probably will) sound like complete trash to me.
@@bepbep7418 400$ is quite expensive. That's already in the audiophile territory or atleast beginner audiophile territory. Nothing a normal person would buy. You have to keep in mind that expensive items start quite low when the average price most people pay is low. And yes, I know. Sound is subjective. I've got my K550s for regular music listening, they're obviously not even close to the Nash 20s, they're way better. They're not good for gaming though, that's a completely different affair. My friend got some Turtlebeach Recon 200 I think and they're complete crap compared to my Nash 20s. It's funny. They've got an amplifier built-in (which means you need to charge them despite being wired) and a pretty hefty bass boost. Way to much to be used for long periods I'd say. The sound isn't that great in general with them. Build quality is Turtlebeach typical cheap plastic. Told him not to buy the first thing he finds. He never listens..
Get the pioneer se ms5t for 40 euro and a budget mic for 20 euro
That "cheap" headset is my latest and greatest headset and it's amazing
I GOT PINNED BY BITWIT!!!
Yeah I've bought the Corsair VOID twice. Once wired and again wirelessly. Honestly, they're pretty darn good. Would recommend.
Yea I have a steel series headset that's comparable in price to the corsair headset and that was a huge upgrade from my crappy 30 dollar speakers.
I like my Corsair Void I think surround sound is worse than my G 933 but they are more comfortable
U edited and your pin just gone
I have a giant head and I don't like that leather type ear cup on my head, cause both combined make for a tight fit and cause sweat.
So Corsair void pro works for me, a bit loose fitting and they have mesh ear cups that don't "stick" to the side of your face.
The sound seems fine, and the mic quality never gets any complaints.
Void pro does have software and the volume rocker can be pushed inward to cycle through the different presets.
Both of them got mics that make your voice different compared to your own mic you use for yt videos. Sooo...
Not to mention that microphones used in wireless headsets all sound like shit, no matter the cost. Just so fucking compressed.
@@xPandamon that's because of the limited bandwith with wireless
@@sinaalami4148 No, they can be much better. A wireless ModMic shows that. I don't know what the issue is but it sucks.
@@xPandamon the 2.4 ghz is enough for a single audio device like the modmic wireless however it isn't enough for both a mic and a headphone so companies have to eighter compress the audio of the speakers or the mic
both of you, i bring you: The Arctis 7 Mic Quality.
That "cheap" headset is my latest and greatest headset and it's amazingi
I just picked up the first headset you had on Kyle, the Void RGB Wireless, at my local best buy for $65 ;) I like it.
So been watching lot of your videos and I've been curious. What brand of deals do you use?
$80 ain't that cheap (atleast for me)
But you rich guys won't understand our problems
Exactly what i was about to comment
Exatcly
80 bucks is cheap if you want Great gaming headphones. Other wise go use the headphones that come with the ps4 if you don’t really care much for headphones.
@@mulsimin__ correction: 80$ is cheap for great Wireless gaming headphones. You can get good headphones for much much less
KillerReign _ even people who don’t care, they would never use that, I don’t even what that is,
$80 = cheap!?!
What do you think we’re made of? Money?!
Get a job you bum
$80 is very cheap for a WIRELESS headset
Dead Vortex it would still cost a kidney
Focal Utopia's can be as high as $120,000.... $80 is CHEAP.
Here go cry www.google.com/amp/s/www.whathifi.com/us/amp/features/11-worlds-most-expensive-pairs-headphones
I got the Sennheiser Game One headset for around $90. Sound is great, and friends love the mic quality.
I am very picky with headphones. But mostly of recharging stuff :D that's why I bought steelseries arctis pro because you can fastly use headphones and don't need any cables. Its perfect for that and I like foam material !
When did $80 become cheap??!!
For audio, always, anything under 100-150 is entry level or "recreational" listening
when my dad got home...
For audio u want wire headphones.bluetooth does not cut it.
I do have a Corsair h70 forgot actual model myself .
For gaming n a pair of wire 1299$ headphone for actual audio
N need an actual amp to power
Really 350-400 is the start of the audiophile range and not that expensive
Since 2003
I wouldnt say 80$ ls cheap, maybe compared to the sennheisers.
it is tho in terms of good headsets like you can get a good wired one for like 50$ where as if its wireless a good one is normally like 150$
i got it for 80 CAD(on sale), which is 60 usd
And u can change the voice prompts in the iCUE files which is neat
The mic quality on the Sennheiser is awesome!
80$ isn't the cheapest. But oh well. Do a real cheapo amazon find or something.
I already have a dedicated Mic so I’m copping a pair of HD 6XX’s. For so much cheaper than the other options, is it worth going a bit higher?
rhythm games could be a nice way to test out headphones, i tried the astro a50s for osu and they felt really delayed compared to my wired headphones
Weird, Ive never noticed delay with mine
I think you missed some of the features on the void pro I have a pair of the wired ones and that volume rocker can be pressed down to switch between different equilizer settings and you can customize your equilizer setting the same way in the Corsair software
Would u recommend upgrading to the Corsair I have hyper x cloud 2s wired version
kinda feel like kyle should've used the opposite camera for opposite angles i love blurry background sksksk
Have you done a high quality wireless headset vs mid quality wired with a sound card?
(try to match price, obviously)
I like my HS 60's with a Soundblaster AE-5
I am a huge sennheiser fan. and I use the void pro wireless for gaming. it has compression which is very nice for gaming, and its comfortable. when its time to actually do quality sound time I swap headphones to something good. HD650 or something planar etc.
I've just bought an AIO and was wondering if I should have the fans on it as intake or outake? I have a Meshtify C. Help would be greatful 🤗
Do you have a similar video for cheap and expensive webcams or PC connected cameras?
Wonder how the Turtle Beach Elite Atlas would compare to the GSP 670? I'm always looking for the best sound I can get (I like music listening) for under $100. Feel like it's one of the better options in that lower price range, but never saw good comparisons to higher end.
Do you have any experience with the New Astro A50's that just came out? I think Gen 4, I just got them and so far love them but am curious how they stack up to those Sennheiser's
I went from the Void pros to the Sennheiser GSP600 about a week later they released the 670. The sound is better in the 600 but nothing beats the comfort of the Voids so I went back to the pros
The interesting thing about the Sennheiser mic is it more readily picked up microtones. Were you speaking with the same inflection and cadence in both tests?
You can pick up renewed Corsair HS70 SE wireless headsets for just $35 right now on Amazon, that's what I'm planning on getting
I've been chewing through wireless headsets and what I miss the most is the ability to remove the battery and order a replacement (which is doubly painful if you're not in the US). Right now I'm using a Plantronics RIG 800HD, and it's pretty decent, although I cant remove the battery easily. I wonder how it stacks up against the Sennheiser GSP 670.
Kyle I like your reviews, very informative. Now let's hear Lyle's take on this. :)
can we get a 2020 vid of this, looking for a new gaming wireless headset, thanks man
cool vids
I've had my void pro for about 2 years and they're lucky to last 7 hours with NO rgb. Pretty bummed about it.
I have the plantronics bbpro2 wireless .. and it’s awesome .. love them
