One-Minute Review
For those seeking a new headset, the Corsair Void Max Wireless V2 is a notable option. This upgraded version of the Corsair Void Wireless V2, a highly-rated wireless gaming headset, now includes Sonarworks SoundID through iCue and simultaneous dual connectivity, with a slight price increase.
It provides robust connectivity, supporting both 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth across PC, PlayStation 5 (via dongle), Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, and mobile devices; an Xbox version is available separately. With an impressive battery life of up to 130 hours over Bluetooth and up to 70 hours over wireless, the Void v2 MAX offers comfort and strong performance, making it an excellent choice for extended gaming sessions.
A wired option and a detachable microphone would have further enhanced this Max version, but it remains a strong mid-range choice with enjoyable and practical features.

Corsair Void v2 MAX Wireless (Black) at CORSAIR for $99.99
Positioned in the mid-range price bracket, the Corsair Void v2 MAX Wireless justifies its cost with a refined design, decent customization, and impressive sound technology. It offers a more distinctive look and experience compared to budget-friendly alternatives, while foregoing the premium design and advanced audio specifications found in much more expensive options like the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite, yet still meets most essential requirements.
The headset is $30 / £20 / AU$60 more expensive than the original Void v2 Wireless, released in April 2025. While largely providing a similar experience, the added simultaneous 2.4Ghz and Bluetooth connectivity, along with Sonarworks SoundID through iCue, makes the upgrade worthwhile.

Design and Features
- Easy, quick connectivity
- Stylish design
- Flip-to-mute mic – but it’s not detachable
The standard and Max versions of Corsair’s Void v2 headset share similar designs. The Corsair Void v2 MAX Wireless package includes the headset, a USB 3.0 dongle, a USB 3.0-to-USB-C charging cable, and a QR code for the instruction manual.
Available in white and black, the headsets feature a sleek yet distinct gamer aesthetic, highlighted by two slim RGB light strips. The geometric earcups are padded with breathable memory foam, and the adjustable frame ensures a comfortable fit. The left earcup houses two buttons: one for power and another customizable function, alongside a small scroll wheel for volume control.
The microphone arm can be flipped up to mute input or kept out of the way when not in use. However, the absence of a removable microphone is a drawback for this more premium option; a detachable mic would make the headset more suitable for use outside of gaming. Similarly, a USB-C dongle adapter would be beneficial, as many modern consoles and devices are transitioning to USB-C.
Setup is straightforward after charging. When using the dongle, it automatically pairs with the headset. Bluetooth pairing is achieved by pressing and holding the lower button on the left earcup. For PC use, both the Dolby Access app and Corsair iCUE software are recommended; Dolby Access enables Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio, while iCUE provides device customization. On PS5, Tempest 3D Audio can be enabled through the console’s sound settings.
Performance
- Superb battery life
- Lightweight and comfortable in use
- Excellent audio performance
As expected from Corsair, the headset delivers consistently good performance. Both audio and microphone quality are excellent, and the headset is comfortable to wear.
After using the Corsair Void v2 MAX Wireless as a primary gaming headset for a month, often for hours at a time, no discomfort was experienced. Its memory foam cushions, lightweight design, and impressive battery life make it ideal for extended gameplay, whether connected to a Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, or PC.
The Corsair Void v2 MAX Wireless headset proved to be an excellent companion for enjoying the rich audio and vibrant voice acting in Baldur’s Gate 3. The headset’s noise suppression, combined with iCue software’s EQ, ensured great clarity and depth in the audio. Playing Valorant on PS5, environmental cues were easily discernible thanks to the impressive audio clarity and Tempest 3D Audio.
Dual connectivity functioned effectively during testing, proving useful for answering calls or listening to podcasts on a phone while playing less audio-intensive games. When the headset was used for chatting with friends on Discord, positive feedback was received regarding the microphone quality.
Notably, most testing could be completed without needing to recharge the headset, as it offers approximately 70 hours of battery life via 2.4GHz wireless and an impressive up to 130 hours on Bluetooth. These figures align with Corsair’s stated benchmarks.
