Hardware Canucks posted a review of the Corsair Vengeance 2000 Wireless 7.1 Gaming Headset
Late last year Corsair released their second-generation gaming headset and it was a hit. Aptly incorporated into the Vengeance line, the 1500 model fully cemented their reputation as a company dedicated to PC gaming enthusiasts. With the release of the new Corsair Vengeance 2000 7.1 Wireless Gaming Headset, Corsair has once again broadened the scope of their Vengeance series and have given gamers even more options to choose from.
While the Vengeance 2000 is based on the same 50mm closed-cup design as the original 1300 and 1500 models, this new iteration offers something no previous Corsair headset could: wire-free connectivity. This is made possible by the use of a wireless USB interface, which Corsair claims is capable of operating over long distances. In fact, you can—in theory—use the Vengeance 2000 upwards of 40 feet away from the included USB transceiver.
Compared against competing solutions, this markedly increased distance from the base station will certainly allow users more freedom of movement. However, freedom is rarely free. Our previous experience with wireless headsets suggests that the Vengeance 2000 will have to overcome some significant hurdles in order to deliver upon its promises. To be specific, the wireless interface raises concerns about decreased sound quality, increased latency, and diminished long-term comfort due to increased weight.
