FREMONT, CA –August 8th 2016 – CORSAIR®, a leader in high-performance gaming hardware, today announced that its entire range of VOID gaming headsets have achieved full certification from Discord, a leading voice and text chat application for gamers. With Discord certification, CORSAIR VOID owners can play with the confidence that their headset’s microphone and audio have been tested and evaluated to the highest of standards ensuring clear communication and great sound whatever game they play.
Discord, one of the fastest growing communication programs, offers gamers an all-in-one, high-quality voice and chat experience. Where other gaming communication programs have gone unchanged for years, Discord constantly offers new content and updates based on what users want. Discord works on desktop and phone and is completely free.
Getting the best out of Discord needs audio hardware that’s up to the task, and that’s where Discord certification comes in. It’s a comprehensive array of tests and evaluations that ensures gaming headsets not only work flawlessly with Discord, but also a wide range of the most popular PC games played today. Headsets are analysed using studio level equipment to test both microphone and audio quality, with extreme tolerances for crackle, static and pops that might degrade the auditory experience. Headsets must also pass a rigorous comfort and compatibility play test in a wide array of today’s most popular games, from Triple A to Indie. Discord’s testers aren’t just technicians, but former professional gamers with years of experience who value quality, comfort and durability.
“Our certification program was designed to ensure that top gaming hardware sounds amazing on Discord,” said Eros Resmini, CMO, Discord. “We’re happy to certify that the CORSAIR VOID headsets will deliver a great experience for Discord gamers.”
