Very disappointed. I wish I had four hands to give these earphones four thumbs way down !
Noise Cancellation
Corsair Void RGB Elite
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

I got these headphones after learning that riding on BART in certain parts of the tunnels, the screech/howl can get up to 90 decibels. So instead of turning my iPhone headphones up to ridiculous volume levels in order to drown out the howl (and make me go deaf)..
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

And they're comfortable. 3. The design is superior to traditional earbuds. For all my above hemming and hawing, these buds conform beautifully against your ear, sitting flush

The sound quality is remarkable. Great balance and reserved but sufficient bass. If you're looking for ear-rattling bass, look elsewhere. 2
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

On the upside, they have a better-balanced sound, and they isolate a bit more in noisy conditions. They also have stable ear-hooks and a comfortable in-ear fit, which makes them a decent option for commuting and sports. Unfortunately, the lack of in-line controls is a bit limiting.
Price Point
Corsair Void RGB Elite
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.

Selection of foam and rubber tips helps ensure you'll get a good seal and decent bass * Price. Good price for what you get Cons: * A little boomy in the bass. However, its easy enough to address with the Spotify EQ. I'd rather have too much and need to attenuate than not enough (which is almost impossible to make up for) * Insertion technique takes a little practice to get right
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

This is with light usage (about 5 hours a week) and careful cord care. Finally, my fellow eyeglass wearers, there isn't much room behind the ear for your glasses and these wires; my eyeglass earpieces rest on top of the wires. I've owned multiple brands of earphones of varying quality and have yet to find a pair that last much past a year. These earbuds are great, so long as you know going in you will be replacing them in about a years time
