Manufacturer: Corsair
Product Name: Vengeance 2000
Model Number: CA-9011115-NA
Price As Tested: $149.99 (NewEgg/Amazon)
Full Disclosure: The product sample used in this article has been provided by Corsair.
Corsair is well known for their wide range of high quality and high performance enthusiast and gaming orientated computer hardware. The Vengeance 2000 is their first foray into the wireless gaming headset market and boasts multi-channel 7.1 surround sound gaming audio capabilities too. The Vengeance 2000 headset is very comfortable thanks to a padded headband and microfiber covered memory foam ear pads, and has true freedom of movement thanks to the lack of wires.
At the business end we have 50mm drivers with a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz and a unidirectional noise-cancelling condenser microphone with a frequency response of 10Hz to 10 kHz. The main setback of the Vengeance 2000 is its price, at $144.99 you have to really ask yourself if it is worth an extra $55 over the Vengeance 1500 for wireless freedom. Benchmark Reviews intends to give you all the information you need to know about the Vengeance 2000 Wireless 7.1 Gaming headset and to answer any questions you might have.
During the course of this review we will give you an in-depth look at the Vengeance 2000 Headset and also put it through its paces to see if it can stand up to corsair's claims. It will be tested in a range of scenarios from listening to music to watching movies and most importantly, its main purpose - Gaming. By the end of this review I hope you can share your opinions and provide some feedback, please feel free to ask any questions if you think there is anything we haven't covered.

Free Yourself
|
|
Enjoy high-performance gaming audio without worrying about wires. With a battery life of up to 10 hours and a range of up to 40 feet, you won't miss out on any of the action.
|
| Know Your Enemy |
|
Corsair's optimized HRTF positional audio technology gives you the tactical advantage you need for victory. Accurate reproduction of multi-channel 5.1/7.1 surround sound gaming audio helps you locate your opponents even if you can't see them, for an immersive, realistic gaming environment.
|
| Hear It All |
|
Large 50mm drivers deliver audio with more detail and more realism for maximum enjoyment and a competitive edge. The tight bass response lets you experience deep, satisfying lows without distortion or overload, and voices are crisp and clear.
|
| Take Command |
| Whether you're calling out DPS targets or just chatting between matches over VOIP, the unidirectional, noise cancelling condenser microphone ensures that you're heard loud and clear. The adjustable, rotating boom flips out of the way when you don't need it. |
| Play For Hours |
| The microfiber-covered memory foam ear pads and padded headband let you play in comfort for hours. And if you manage to run the 10-hour battery all the way to zero, you can use the Vengeance 2000 even while it's charging. |
| Comfort, fidelity, and playing to win |
|
At Corsair, we believe that you need more than just dramatic audio. You need the comfort that allows you to play or talk for hours without thinking about what's on your head. You need fidelity that gives you a listening experience that's not just immersive - it must also be true to the source material. And, of course, you need the detailed positioning and situational awareness that lets you play your best.
