Fit
Corsair Void RGB Elite
Comfortable headset for larger head, falls off of smaller heads. The ear cuffs rotate so you can lay the headset flat on the table. The ear cuffs are comfortable and not hot. Decent quality audio and mic
OnePlus Buds Z
Remember that for $10 more, the standard OnePlus Buds deliver double the battery life, making them a stronger buy in our book. Keep in mind that both pairs of Buds are best suited to OnePlus phone users, as you'll be otherwise be dealing with limited on-ear controls. For owners of other Android phones and iPhones shopping in this price range, we recommend the $30 JLab Go Air, the $35 Tribit FlyBuds 3, the $50 EarFun Free, and the $80 Anker Soundcore Liberty Air.

OnePlus Buds Z
I was going to buy another brand of ear buds because my ears are sensitive and I wanted to stick to what I know. Got these instead and they are AMAZING and comfortable! I've only used them for working out at the gym so far but I feel they are comfortable enough to use them on a daily basis as needed. And the battery life is amazing! AND they connected immediately with no hassle to my OnePlus phone!
Sound Quality
Corsair Void RGB Elite
I am returning these and going for the Sennheiser set and hopefully the sound quality, setup and design will be better with those, even though the reviews are kind of terrible too. Also, they took forever to get here. I ordered them on the 9th and they got here on the 14th. Not as quick as advertised when buying
OnePlus Buds Z
They're stable in your ear, and they even have an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, though we don't currently test for this. Unfortunately, you can only access their controls and their companion app when you pair them with OnePlus phones. However, if you love a bass-heavy sound, they're a solid choice.
Battery Life
Corsair Void RGB Elite
This is the third Corsair product I've encountered issues with, either within a very short amount of time using or out of the box. The wireless function of the headset is nice and convenient, the headset is comfortable, and the audio quality is good AFTER installing iCUE and setting your preferences. The battery life is abysmal. My product had issues out of the box, where it will not charge beyond 78% regardless of how long it is charging, and the battery drains at what seems like a very quick pace (two hours and half that 78% charge is gone)

Durability
Corsair Void RGB Elite
I can unplug them in the morning and be absolutely certain they will get me through a full work day. If I forget to charge them at night, they will still be fine for at least a few hours the next morning. Their connectivity has been rock solid - never disconnected unless I disconnect them by walking too far away, and then reconnecting instantly. I also love the flip-up micr acting as a mute switch not visible to others on a Zoom call
OnePlus Buds Z
* **What would you like to improve on from your set-up** \- Better build/production quality that will hopefully last longer than a year without something breaking.
