Naturally, if you want to have all developed features accessible, proper software must be applied.
#Corsair vengeance 1500 software driver
When headsets are connected, the operating system usually installs a generic driver that helps the computer to recognize the newly attached device and to use its basic functions.

If prompted to do so, restart your computer. Uninstall any previous version of the driver. Self-listening tests were amongst the most realistic amongst all the headsets we have tested and fellow gamers had no problem hearing and understanding even a whisper.The Corsair Headset Software Version 2.0.7 with Dolby Headphone V2 and Dolby ProLogic IIx surround sound technologies is designed to be used with the Corsair Vengeance 2000 and Corsair Vengeance 1500 Headsets. Were really impressed by the recording quality of all of Corsairs headsets and the Vengeance 1500 (V2) is no exception. VOIP and player voice chat sounded fine because speech transmitted on a narrow band in the mid frequencies. Unsurprisingly, such a sound characteristic was much more forgiving for militaristic themed games. Fantasy and preWorld War historical games in particular sounded the least natural because combat in those games are not typically explosive. While it added a likable cinematic feel to movies, video game audio sounded unrealistic. Likewise with movies, the greater emphasis on bass and treble is more favorable to action effects in video games. Additionally, the headset has a wide stereo soundstage and effects that move from one ear to the other were noticeable. Its not a problem of the headset, but its characteristic.

The tradeoff is that vocals and dialogue sound slightly less loud than other sounds. The Vengeance 1500 (V2)s strong bass and energetic trebles give action and sound effects a great deal of impact.

This isnt unique to the Vengeance 1500 (V2) as we had this same criticism for Dolby Headphone on the ASUS Xonar DGX sound card in our Vengeance 1400 review and well raise this issue again in the Vengeance 2100 review. Therefore, we recommend listening to music, movies, and games with Dolby Headphone turned off in the driver software and letting the game engine handle the audio positioning. Audio positional distance could still be somewhat determined, but direction could not. Dissapointingly, the audio sounds like it was downmixed into a single channel when Dolby Headphone was turned on. Corsair goes so far to call the Vengeance 1500 (V2) a 7.1 surround sound headset, but its really a stereo headset. This deserves its own special place because Dolby Headphone isnt the killer feature its made out to be. Should the Vengeance 1500 (V2) be costing more or the same as the 1400 and youre having a hard time deciding, the included software features may sway your interest Unfortunately for the Vengeance 1500 (V2), it doesnt sound noticeably different from the Vengeance 1400 paired with integrated audio. Our Vengeance 1400 review noted that the headphones were very compatible with integrated audio. Heavy metal sounded the best while orchestra soundtracks and classical music sounded the worst when listening with the Vengeance 1500 (V2.) The Corsair audio engineers might have been listening to too much dubstep, but as headphones, the Vengeance 1500 (V2) is well-rounded. The Vengeance 1500 (V2) is decently well-defined at the midtones and with most treble frequencies, but has a murky bass. Some facets of the sound characteristic are the same, such as a boomy, but not too punchy bass, and warm trebles, though the Vengeance 1500 (V2)s trebles are noticeably brighter. Those who dont regularly listen with higher-end equipment may not notice the sound quality deficiencies we are able to notice.Ī considerable portion of what was written in the Vengeance 1400 review is applicable to the Vengeance 1500 (V2.) That was obvious when the headsets are compared visually, but now we turn our attention to how they sound. The subjective listening tests in our reviews not only compare the product with other gaming headsets, but also audiophile-grade headphones. Peoples ears are different and preferences dictate our style. Not everyone hears the same as each other. Subjective Listening: Music, Movies, and Games
