Corsair Void RGB Elite vs Sennheiser HD58X

) Hold down the power button on the headset until you hear verbal confirmation that the headset is linked. If this review helped in any way, please mark it as helpful.

You can also find used sennheiser HD560s under $150, but those aren’t always as good for fun listening, and one of the best openback budget options is the hifiman he400se or he-x4, but those require at least a portable amp to actually sound good, and sometimes just to get loud enough. I’d only get the BTR5 if just having Bluetooth is really important to you. Also note that iPhone don’t support any of the higher res Bluetooth codecs, so you are generally just buying it for the Bluetooth convenience at this point. Good luck!

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

I went back and forward several times with multiple tracks in high resolution audio format and I could not shake off the impression of an increase in airiness without the foam.

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)

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

Heading into the highs, the HD58X manages to keep its posture effortlessly. No crazy spikes here or eerie shrieking ‘S’ sounds. Nope, Sennheiser nailed it again as it did with the other frequencies.

These are not worth the price at all. I typically buy headphones that I can switch between gaming and recording audio on, and I can already tell that trying to record music with these is going to be useless.

If you want to go openback there are good value for money budget options from both Superlux and Koss, Superlux HD681, Superlux HD681 Evo and Superlux HD668B, also Koss Porta Pro and Koss KPH30i (Koss KSC75 is perhaps not a good option since it lacks subbass).

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

These are made to last and therefore you can literary drop these cans on the floor, without the fear of them disintegrating into pieces. You don’t have to baby them, although I’m the kinda guy who does exactly that. 🙂

Love this headset! I have a newborn at home and these are perfect for work calls since I am working from home. it is noise cancelling enough and I love that the microphone mutes automatically when you lift it up so if i need to yell something out at home, no one on the call can hear. Would highly recommend
