Porter Justice Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hey Corsair! I've heard about a new revision of the Vengeance 2000 headphones to help prevent the cracking issues that have been plaguing a lot of people recently. What are some of the design changes and specs to the headset itself? Are the changes specific to headband to prevent cracking, or are there other bells and whistles added? Cheers guys, Porter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeslaMonger Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 There has not been a "new revision" of the headset. It is simply a driver update in order to bug fix, along with the addition of Dolby 7.1. There were no changes focused on crackling, design improvements, or headband cracking.

I called Corsair yesterday specifically about this. The customer service technician CONFIRMED that they have made physical changes to the headset device. Specifically, he said that they used stronger materials on the headband, particularly near the ear-cups, to prevent it from cracking in the future. This is a separate update from the brand new drivers that just came out yesterday. Call Corsair yourselves if you want to verify this, or hopefully we'll have RAM guy come on here and confirm any details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Technobeard Posted March 28, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 28, 2013 Call Corsair yourselves if you want to verify this, or hopefully we'll have RAM guy come on here and confirm any details.He's already commented on this: There is no "special batch." It was that starting from a specific point and onwards, we implemented additional steps to test the headset to catch those units that may be cracking and ensure they don't ship out. There is no special reinforcement or new joint created despite claims to the contrary. TL;DR: Its improved Quality Control, not a revision of design.
