I’m set on buying a Corsair Void PRO Wireless Headset, but I want to ensure that I get 7.1 surround sound. But what confuses me is they also have a Corsair Void PRO Wireless “Special Edition”(SE), which comes in yellow. This is $30 more than the carbon and white versions, at $129, but on discount, I can get it for $65, only $5 more than the carbon and white regular Void Pro Wireless. What does this “Special Edition” mean, and is there any difference between the two?
 
Solution
Any 7.1 surround sound in a headset is fake, all you need is any USB dongle with a "7.1" option on it. Really a waste of time looking for that, it just expands audio to feel more open for the most part, read a bit on some audio review sites about it. Prices vary based on color, product age, sale, etc... even for the exact same thing.

The Corsair site has a Tech Spec listing, compare that between the two headsets.

From what I can see the SE version has a wireless extender base.
