Corsair Void v2 MAX Wireless Review: Dual Connectivity Done Right
What makes the Corsair Void v2 MAX Wireless stand out in 2025’s crowded gaming headset market? For starters, it builds on the well-loved Void v2 foundation with two major upgrades: simultaneous dual-band wireless connectivity and Sonarworks-powered audio calibration via iCUE. Priced at just €139.99, it’s a compelling mid-range option for gamers who want premium features without the flagship price tag. Whether you’re juggling Discord calls while fragging out in Valorant or switching between console and PC, the Void v2 MAX delivers a surprisingly versatile experience.
A Smart Evolution of a Fan Favorite
Corsair didn’t reinvent the wheel with the Void v2 MAX Wireless—it refined it. The original Void v2 already earned praise for its balanced sound, solid mic quality, and long battery life. Now, with dual 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connectivity running at the same time, Corsair has addressed one of the biggest pain points for modern gamers: seamless device switching. You can keep your PC audio flowing through the 2.4GHz dongle while taking a mobile call over Bluetooth, all without pausing your game or fumbling with cables.
Simultaneous Wireless: More Than a Gimmick
Dual wireless might sound like marketing fluff, but in practice, it’s a game-changer. The Void v2 MAX handles both connections flawlessly—no audio dropouts, no latency spikes. During testing, switching between a Bluetooth call and in-game voice chat felt intuitive, not disruptive. This is especially useful for streamers or multitaskers who need constant access to smartphones or tablets without sacrificing core gaming performance. Corsair’s implementation here feels polished, thoughtful, and genuinely useful in 2025’s multi-device ecosystem.
Sound That Adapts to Your Ears
One of the standout features is the integration of Sonarworks SoundID technology through Corsair’s iCUE software. Unlike generic EQ presets, SoundID offers personalized audio calibration based on a short hearing test. The result? Crisp, spatially accurate sound tailored to your unique hearing profile. Footsteps in Counter-Strike 2 become easier to pinpoint, orchestral scores in Baldur’s Gate 3 gain depth, and even casual music listening feels more immersive. For a headset under €150, this level of audio customization is rare—and impressive.
Comfort for Marathon Sessions
Gaming headsets live or die by comfort, and the Void v2 MAX nails it. The memory foam ear cushions and adjustable headband make it easy to wear for hours, even with glasses. At just 315 grams, it’s light enough to forget you’re wearing it—until someone walks into your room and you realize your mic is still live. The build quality feels durable without being bulky, and the matte black finish (the only color option at launch) keeps it looking sleek on and off stream.
Mic Quality: Good, But Not Perfect
The detachable mic remains a sore spot—because it’s not detachable at all. The fixed boom arm tucks neatly into the earcup when not in use, but it can’t be fully removed, which limits versatility for non-gaming use. Audio quality is clear and serviceable, thanks to a unidirectional pickup pattern that reduces background noise. However, it lacks the richness of higher-end mics from HyperX or SteelSeries. For casual gaming and Discord, it’s fine—but streamers may still want a dedicated USB mic.
Battery Life That Keeps Up
Corsair claims up to 20 hours of battery life with RGB lighting off—and in real-world testing, that holds up. Even with both wireless modes active and moderate volume, the headset lasted through two full gaming nights before needing a charge. Recharging is done via micro-USB (yes, still—not USB-C), which feels like a missed opportunity in 2025. Still, the trade-off for extended wireless freedom might be worth it for many users.
No Wired Mode? A Calculated Risk
One notable omission: there’s no 3.5mm or USB wired option. If the battery dies mid-match, you’re out of luck unless you can charge it quickly. While wireless is the future, the lack of a wired fallback may deter competitive players who prioritize zero-latency reliability. That said, Corsair clearly designed the Void v2 MAX for the mainstream gamer who values convenience and clean setups over tournament-grade redundancy.
How It Stacks Up in 2025
At €139.99, the Void v2 MAX Wireless punches above its weight. It competes directly with the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 and Razer Barracuda X (2024), but edges ahead with its personalized SoundID audio and true simultaneous dual connectivity. While those rivals offer USB-C or detachable mics, Corsair’s strength lies in software integration and audio intelligence—features that matter more as gaming becomes more cross-platform and audio-centric.
A Mid-Range Marvel
The Corsair Void v2 MAX Wireless isn’t trying to be the flashiest or most expensive headset on the shelf. Instead, it’s a smart, well-rounded performer that understands what most gamers actually need: clear sound, reliable wireless, all-day comfort, and clever software enhancements. For anyone building a 2025-ready gaming setup on a budget, this headset fills the void—literally and figuratively—with confidence.
Where to Buy
The Corsair Void v2 MAX Wireless is available now in black directly from Corsair’s website for €139.99, with listings also live on Amazon and major electronics retailers. Early adopters are already praising its dual-wireless flexibility and personalized audio—making it one of the most talked-about mid-range releases of the year so far.
