today we have a new headset from Corsair the void Pro RGB which yes has RGB and the only reason I can think of why is probably this aggro of Kish which speciation larger group and then I decided to do something different with this review and that was compare my current v-moda headset that is a v-moda boom for a mic plugged directly into a pair of crossfade LP and also pit that against Cougars immersive pro headset as well and the results are going to be different to a typical headphone review tech yes City the place to live the place to stay and the place to get an RGB gaming headset apparently well Corsair have done it they've implemented RGB lighting on a pair of speakers that rests on your head though it is subtle and not very in-your-face bling bling which I do give them credit for and in this particular model it is rated for up to 12 meters of range and 16 hours of battery life in practice on these wireless headsets I got 10 meters of range in my house and 12 hours of battery life while gaming so pretty lengthy and the comfort of this headset was good very good to the point where you could game on it for hours and hours and not notice that you're wearing them with the weight of 380 grams the ear cups are also removable and have a breathable material so you is sweat less and of course the inner diameter of the speakers is 50 millimeters so will fit ears of small to medium range however contrast that to our friends the Cougar immersive pro they have a 100 millimeter ear tops and will fit very large is with an inner diameter of 63 millimeters and they're also extremely comfortable as well weighing in at 350 grams so of course what about that sound quality let's start off with a non gaming headset for reference that is my crossfade LPS from v-moda anyone who's tried these headphones will know that they are a solid can they are very revealing especially for a mid-range speaker and their strong point is quite simply they're lower and mid range sound detail which is good in my opinion for voice work and easy listening the attached v-moda microphone is also excellent for a $30 add-on which is what makes this headphone essentially now a headset the void Pro RGB however has emulated 7.1 Dolby Surround that turns on if you hold the volume button for 2 seconds it is off by default though when turned on it does make a very cool experience for RGB players and has the pure direct flat EQ straight out of the box as the both of the V Motors 2.0 analogs from the source and honestly I thought that the software emulation with 7.1 Dolby Surround turned off definitely added to the 3d imaging quite considerably especially for a closed back headset it was one of the only times that a software implementation has helped with exaggerating sound either higher or lower within a headphone dynamic range what this means is that these will do a very good job for positioning enemies in games though what about the bass the bass well it was quite tight and strong although sub bass was quite weak and the mids seem to have a decent presence to those voices were a little recessed though the best point was that the treble was not in any way invasive and was quite underpowered in my opinion compared to the mids and lows which is really good thing for me personally since I'd like to use gear like this for hours on end and edgy treble does tend to wear my ears down very quickly and overall though of course the V motors didn't reveal more detail in music however the Void pros did perform really well in cs:go and footsteps were incredibly easy to hear positioning was quite simply superb on this headset dare I even say better than the V motors and as an asking price of 99 USD I can't really fault the sound too much especially since it comes with a mic and is Wireless oh and don't forget that RGB - next up on the jury block was the Cougar immersive pro and straightaway from the get-go I could notice that signature boost in treble and upon stalling the software it did have an FPS v-shaped EQ applied however after turning it to balance mode the brand edgy sound was still present and this is quite common in gaming headsets and it is there to make people think that the speaker has more clarity than it actually does and honestly after you train your ears to hear this you do get over it quite quickly the best remedy of course is to EQ treble out in software though a speakers sound signature will always remain regardless the emotion Pro sub bass was definitely there if you like your headphones too shaky which I personally do like and bass was present though it was a loose type of bass good for listening to hip-hop though not good for rock in my opinion and overall the sound was decent though not as good as the void Pro RGB or the V Motors the immerser also has its own 7.1 emulation called XPS around however unlike the void this sounded quite bad and just added a massive reverb effect to the sound which didn't help me in gaming at all they laughter II cueing the headphones and using them in csgo for example fragging was okay but again not as good as the V Motors or the void Pro and I'll quickly point something out and that is that although it might seem I'm being a little bit harsh on both these headsets I am keep in mind comparing them against a mid-range audio file can so if you want something that sounds much better than a ten dollar Evie can for example that sounds like someone's chucked a donor over it then you will be happy with either of these options there is no distortion music sounds good on both clarity is decent though I'm just going a bit anal retentive to give people who are looking for a specific sound a good idea of what to expect if they would have purchased either of these headsets moving on however both have conveniently located mics the void pros mic just flips up and down and when flipped up it will automatically mute itself and is quite sturdy the Cougar immerses mic is retractable and both have lighting to indicate when the mic is muted or switched on which is good to see that the lighting serves a purpose rather than just cosmetics so how do these mics sound let's roll those tests Peter pepper packed a pack of pickled peppers and then flat packed them into a box however this wasn't sufficient enough so he packed him in a pipe and smoked him Peter pepper then decided his flat packing wasn't quite sufficient to sell from his home so he went to the market and unfortunately no one bought the peppers there either so he then decided to put them in the pipe and smoke them Peter pepper then had one last final attempt to salvage himself and it was at this stage he said look I'm going to pack the peppers inside the pipe and then sell the pipe and this is when he tasted success so some that we talked about gaming headsets and whether they are worth it or not and of course what to look out for now for sound quality the V motors reveal more sound details than both these headsets on display most audiophile engineered can will and should as they have generally more expensive though they are not as comfortable as the other two and after two hours of use my ears do get a little bit sore due to the tight clamping of the V motors and if a gaming headset is going to get it right in any one department I think they should get it right when it comes to comfort so kudos to both Corsair and cougar for nailing this department utility was also another big plus easy controls for volume and mic muting and in the case of the Corsair headset it was Wireless two very big plus if you are like me and need to keep those noise levels down but need mobility when you are testing and benchmarking late at night and another plus of both these headsets is that they have their own ADC and DAC onboard that built-in USB controllers so if you have a laptop for example and have some extremely high levels of noise from the onboard audio ports then the included USB DAC amp will do a decent job of giving you better audio and fixing your problems almost immediately so at $99 the void Pro RGB headset from Corsair has it comfortable very easy to listen to sound signature that is great for gaming and I will definitely be using this when I need to move around and keep noise down there definitely a keeper and it's for the Cougar immersive pro the biggest thing this has going for it is it's big ear cups and comfort however it does look a bit wacky on your head and I wouldn't dare wear it outside unless I was going to a Frankenstein cosplay party though the immersive pro at 89 USD has a sound signature that was bright and loose one that I don't prefer personally though the hip hop lovers would probably like it and at 99 Australian dollars with GST it actually is a very decent price if you're in Australia and looking for something that will gain well and is comfortable so Cougars are doing a pretty good job of getting prices right for all these I actually think it's even better than it is in the states in Triple P terms that when we contrast that to the Corsair Void pro RGB the pricing was very off for Aziz there was 99 USD that want to check the spec sheet it said 219 Australian dollars I was really left dumbfounded here that is just simply too much of a difference if you guys are in Australian you want to buy the Corsair Pro G be void just go to Amazon and buy it and you'll probably end up saving around $80 even shipped to your door and also some last-minute things before I get on out of here on the void you get a wireless USB stick for the audio and a cable to charge the headphones themselves the included Q software allows you to change the RGB lighting and also EQ the sound too and for the immersive pro you get that option as well the immerser also has the option to be plugged into a smart phone too so it does have quite a bit of utility at its disposal anyway guys if you enjoy today's comparison slash review then be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comment section below what speakers are you currently using on your desk or on your ears love reading your comments as always and also my Vegas sample just rocked up too so I'm going to get on out of here and start testing that and I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye today we have a new head from corset the RG might devoid RGB the void Pro RGB the void Pro RGB void an image a NEMA diameter with an inner inner inner with an inner diameter and you stop typing so loud too [Laughter]
