When buying a wireless gaming headset, sound quality and battery life are usually the first things we look at. But after using one for several months, I think it’s just as important to know how well it holds up.

I’ve been using the Corsair VOID Wireless V2 for around 7 to 8 months now. So, after several months of use, is the Corsair VOID MAX Wireless v2 still worth buying?

Initial Review Video

Design and Build Quality

The Corsair VOID MAX Wireless v2 is mostly made of plastic, with a matte finish on the headband and Corsair logos on both ear cups. It weighs 303 grams, which is light enough for a wireless gaming headset.

The headband is adjustable, and the ear cups can swivel inward so you can rest the headset around your neck when taking a break.

One thing I was concerned about during my initial review was the plastic hinges. I wasn’t sure how well they would hold up, especially if the headset got pulled accidentally.

After 7 to 8 months, though, the hinges are still holding up. I haven’t noticed any damage or deterioration that would change my initial impression of the build quality.

That’s reassuring, considering my concerns when I first started using it. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can handle it roughly without worrying about damage. I’d still be careful with the hinges.

For a headset made mostly of plastic, it has held up well so far.

Comfort After Months of Use

Comfort is one of the things I like about the Corsair VOID MAX Wireless v2. Its lightweight design, adjustable headband, and breathable microfiber mesh ear cushions make it comfortable for long gaming sessions.

I usually play for five to seven hours straight, and the headset remains comfortable even after all that time. I haven’t noticed any significant changes in how it feels since I first started using it.

The ear cushions have also held up well. After 7 to 8 months, there’s no peeling or visible damage.

However, you still need to clean them once in a while. Sweat can build up around the ear cushions, and if you don’t clean them regularly, they can start to smell.

For me, this is just part of maintaining a headset, especially when you use it for hours every day.

Overall, the VOID Wireless V2 remains comfortable, and I’m happy with how well the ear cushions have held up.

Sound Quality: Good for Gaming

My impressions of the sound quality haven’t changed since my initial review.

The Corsair VOID MAX Wireless v2 has good bass and crisp highs, which work well for gaming. I tested it with Where Winds Meet and Aniimo, games I regularly play that mixes combat sounds, environmental audio, and background music.

For these kind of games, the headset does a good job. It also provides good spatial awareness, helping me keep track of what’s happening around my character or aniimo.

Music is a different story. While it’s fine for casual listening, I still wouldn’t choose it as my first option for songs with prominent vocals, especially when I’m just idling in-game and listening to music.

After several months, my opinion hasn’t changed. If you mainly play games, the VOID Wireless V2 does what I need it to do. But if you want a headset for both gaming and music, I’d suggest trying other options before buying.

Battery Life: Still Going Strong

Battery life is important for a wireless gaming headset, especially if you spend several hours playing every day.

Corsair advertises up to 70 hours of battery life for the Corsair VOID MAX Wireless v2, along with fast charging that can provide several hours of use after a short charge.

After 7 to 8 months, the battery life is still as good as I remember it. I haven’t noticed any significant decline in how long it lasts between charges.

That’s good to see, since battery life is one of the things I pay attention to when using a wireless device for an extended period.

Actual battery life will still depend on how you use the headset, including your volume level and RGB lighting settings. But based on my experience, the battery hasn’t become a concern.

It’s one less thing I have to worry about when using the headset for long gaming sessions.

Wireless Connectivity and iCUE Software

I haven’t experienced any wireless dropouts during my time with the Corsair VOID MAX Wireless v2. The connection has been reliable, which is important when you’re in the middle of a game.

Unfortunately, the same can’t be said about the software.

Corsair’s iCUE lets you adjust the equalizer, customize the RGB lighting, configure the volume wheel, and update the headset and wireless transmitter firmware.

These features are useful, but iCUE can sometimes cause problems. This is probably my biggest annoyance with the headset because it affects the overall experience when the software doesn’t behave as expected.

To be clear, I haven’t had problems with the wireless connection itself. My issue is with iCUE, which can be frustrating when you just want everything to work properly.

If you already use other Corsair peripherals, you’ll probably be familiar with iCUE and its occasional issues.

The software has useful features, but I wish the experience were more consistent.

Conclusion

After 7 to 8 months, the Corsair VOID MAX Wireless v2 has held up well. It’s comfortable for long gaming sessions, the battery life remains consistent, and the build hasn’t shown any noticeable signs of wear.

My main complaints are still the it’s not that good for music listening, the retractable microphone, and occasional iCUE issues. But if you’re mainly looking for a wireless headset for gaming, the VOID MAX Wireless v2 is still a solid choice based on my experience.

With that, the CORSAIR VOID MAX Wireless v2 receives the Recommended Award.
