Setting up a headset with the Corsair,callbackos controller and iCUE can be a more comfortable approach compared to using part-while gaming, as it eliminates interruptions. The Corsair’s microphone design is both functional and intuitive, with a subtle, continuous muted indicator that emerges when the mic is muted. This avoids theLets You Know warning while playing with audio. In contrast, the original version uses a light and voices that interrupt anything being played, which can disrupt frequent gaming sessions. For example, Voice Notes can disturb an action like scrolling through a social media feed or typing gaming commands on a keyboard.
When they first started using iCUE headsets, users could rely on their own accessories, like an earreset, to power their setup. However, with time, the user found that most active games without distractions could run smoothly on a headset. The Corsair v2-backed iCUE provides a long battery life on 2.4 GHz, supporting continuous use for hours before needing a break.
One advantage of the original Corsair v2-backed headset is its user-friendly CMSS buttons. While the Power button, which has a symbol, allows users to turn the device on or off immediately, holding it requires another press to cycle between Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz. The locked button under it is great for pausing audio without needing to touch the device. The user prefers active control over these buttons, so they often need to actively hold the Power button to function.
In summary, the Corsair USBv2-backed headset offers a balance of convenience and functionality, with a continuous mute indicator that avoids interruptions, long battery life, and user-friendly software. However, the more advanced iCUE version provides even more features and app connections, like audio processing apps and language utilities, but its interface and CMSS buttons may come with a minor learning curve for users unfamiliar with the basics.
