High quality sound and super comfortable

Posted by: beingPhilippe
Been using the wired Vengeance 1500 for a few years and been very happy with. I tried the wireless Vengeance 2100 a year ago or so and returned it for several reasons (too heavy, short battery life, does not adjust to small heads, and buzzing microphone).
I'm very happy with the Void SE. Here is why:
- I have a small head, and the void feels fitting perfectly (unlike the Vengeance 2100)
- It feel much more comfortable than the Vengeance 2100, easy on the neck, ears and top of the head. Can wear it for several hours without noticing it.
- Solid construction (the aluminium arms are actual aluminium or metal)
- The sound quality is great within a nice range (tested within 20 feet or so). I'm not a gamer but spend several hours a day on Spotify and Skype.
- The microphone is excellent AS LONG AS you adjust the microphone arm. It's a flexible arm and out of the box sticks straight and does not catch any voice, I suppose that's because of the very good noise filter. Once adjusted near the mouth, the sound is excellent (according to the people I talk too on Skype). The mic arm remains formed when being flipped up and back to/from the rest position. A plus.
- The battery seems to be holding pretty well, at least a normal day of use (unlike the Vengeance 2100). I like the auto-off feature (I think it's set to 10 minutes). I also noticed that it can be used while charging (in a non-wireless mode of some sort).

What needs improvements and what I don't like:
- There is a light feedback on the microphone when the mic is on mute... Unless I grow a 3rd eye or install a mirror on my desk, I can't see it. It can be tricky when using Skype. One good thing is that there is a different sound feedback when turning it on/off.
- Everything that's software feels clunky and unusable (custom user settings, etc). But once it's setup it works great.
- The mini USB charging port on the headset is... mini.
- The LED thing... oh my... good news is that it can just be ignored and turned off

This unit is a keeper :-)
I would recommend this to a friend!
