Corsair Vengeance 2100 Wireless Gaming Headset Review

Final Thoughts and Conclusion

The Vengeance 2100 is certainly Corsairs best headset of the 2013 refresh. This should come as a surprise to a number of people who assume that the Vengeance 2100 is merely the wireless variant of the Vengeance 1400 and the vengeance 1500 (V2.) However, the Vengeance 2100 is more comfortable and sounds considerably better than its wired siblings. There was clearly more to the story than the features and specifications printed on the box.

Going wireless confers obvious benefits with some obvious inconveniences. Vengeance 2100 owners wont have to worry about managing cords while having more freedom to move about. The compromise is the Vengeance 2100 headset has to be plugged into a power source to be recharged and the internal battery makes it heavier than just about every other headset. On that note, the Vengeance 2100 doesnt feel heavy when worn due to better ergonomics. Unlike the other 2013 Vengeance headsets, the Vengeance 2100 has flat padding on the headband that distributes weight across more surface and two joints that allow the earcups to be adjusted more freely.

The Corsair Vengeance 2100s sound quality not only surpasses that of the less expensive Vengeance headsets, its comparable to some similarly priced audiophile headphones. The Vengeance 2100 has a wide audible frequency response for a closed-back headphone, good to great clarity at all frequencies, and a warm signature that gives an energetic listening experience for music, movies, and games.

The Vengeance 2100, which is currently selling for $117.68 shipped on Amazon is is not only the most expensive Corsair headset its also ~18% more than the next expensive Corsair headset. Whether or not the price discrimination was deliberate or not, the Vengeance 2100 offers wireless capabilities and superior sound performance. The Corsair Vengeance 2100 doesnt sit on the wireless gimmick; this is truly a premium gaming headset.

Legit Bottom Line: The Corsair Vengeance 2100 headset justifies its premium position not solely on wireless technology, but also on surprisingly impressive audio performance.
