These issues all disappeared when we tried CUE v1.11.85. The problem is that right now, easy access to this beta software doesn't appear to exist. If you search the Corsair website and its forums, it doesn't turn up. We were provided the direct link and have asked if it's publicly available, but Corsair was unable to confirm if it's been posted in its forums. The company did indicate that these tweaks will become public in the near future, though.
Regardless of when updated software arrives, there are aspects of using the Void that remain the same no matter which version of the software you install. Build quality is very nice—these cans feel sturdy without being excessively heavy, and are among the more comfortable we've worn. The Void does leak more audio than other headsets in its class, though, and as mentioned earlier, it also doesn't block out much nearby external sound.
It's also a loud headset—impressively so. We never exceeded a Windows sound volume of 20 when we had these on, and if you crank things all the way up to 100, you can use the Void as a quiet pair of speakers with minimal distortion. (Though for context, blasting music through an OnePlus One Android phone at max volume was still louder. But also far less clean.)
Equally notable is the Void's battery life, which exceeded Corsair's rating of "up to 16" hours in our actual-use tests. Its longest run went just over 17 hours when we kept the volume to 20. It hits a full recharge at a reasonable rate too, with just a few hours dedicated hours needed. If that's not fast enough, you can use the headset while juicing up.
You won't always be able to accurately determine how much battery life you have left or the headset's charging state, though. Both versions of CUE couldn't faithfully monitor either. At one point, we saw a sudden drop from 95% to 91% using CUE v1.10.67; another time with CUE v1.11.85, we got reports of the battery being at 33% and then 43% after a few repeated instances of plugging and unplugging in the charging cable. And while plugged in, we had to restart both software versions more than once for it to report the headset's charging status.
