14 DAY TRIAL // Corsair released various sorts of gaming hardware on a regular basis, and now it is right in the middle of the audio segment, so to speak.
The product that just came out of the company's labs is something that gamers may not flock towards, regardless of what Corsair thinks.
Sure, wireless headsets are great in the right situations, but gamers aren't bound to go anywhere except their desks while hitting those buttons on their keyboard and mice again and again and again.
Still, we suppose there are people who sit back on a couch or a bed while gazing at large HDTVs or multi-monitor configurations.
Since these few probably use wireless peripherals, a wireless headset suddenly makes much more sense.
With that out of the way, the Vengeance 2000 has an USB dongle that acts as the “sound card” and maintains the wireless link (unspecified type, probably 2.4 GHz).
The maximum distance is 40 feet (12 meters), the frequency response is 20Hz – 20kHz and the impedance is 32 Ohms at 1kHz.
As for the headset itself, Corsair gave it two 50mm drivers, microfiber covers for the ear cushions and HRTF positional audio (surround sound).
In other words, the Vengeance 2000 can produce both 5.1 and 7.1-channel audio accuracy even when owners keep their distance from their computer. The batteries can last for up to 10 hours.
All in all, the headset isn't so bad. In fact, it would be a great buy if it didn't cost $149.99 (115 Euro), which isn't a fortune by any means but still exceeds, by a lot, the amount of money needed for a wired product of the same (or higher) quality.
To each his own, we suppose. The official product page is located here, in case prospective buyers feel like exploring this option further.
