Setup
Connecting the Headset
The Shock Pro RGB Gaming Headset connects via a standard 3.5mm audio jack for sound and microphone functionality. An additional USB connection is required to power the RGB lighting effects.
- PC/Mac: Connect the 3.5mm audio jack to your computer's audio output and microphone input. Connect the USB cable to an available USB port for RGB lighting.
- PS4/PS5/Xbox One/Nintendo Switch: Connect the 3.5mm audio jack directly to your controller or console's 3.5mm port. For Xbox One, a Microsoft Adapter (not included) may be required for full functionality. The USB connection for RGB lighting may be connected to an available USB port on the console if desired.
- Apple & Android Mobile Devices: Connect the 3.5mm audio jack directly to your device's headphone port. USB power for RGB lighting is typically not supported by mobile devices.
Adjusting for Comfort
The headset features a lightweight design with a self-adjusting headband and thick ear cushions for optimal comfort. Gently place the headset over your head, ensuring the ear cups fully enclose your ears. The headband will automatically adjust to fit your head size. The 25mm ear pads with premium foam are designed to reduce pressure during long gaming sessions.
Operating Instructions
Audio Controls
The headset is equipped with built-in physical controls located on the ear cup for convenient access. Use these controls to adjust the volume of your audio output.
Microphone Usage
The Shock Pro RGB headset features a retractable and concealable microphone. To use the microphone, gently pull it down and position it near your mouth. To mute or store the microphone, push it back into its housing. Ensure the microphone is properly extended for clear voice transmission during communication.
RGB Lighting
The headset features 256-color illumination with 7 preset colors and 2 lighting effect modes: pulse jumping and single color pulse mode. To activate and cycle through the RGB lighting effects, use the dedicated lighting control button located on the headset. Ensure the USB cable is connected to a powered USB port for the RGB lighting to function.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the headset's condition, regularly clean the ear cups and headband with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the speaker grilles or control buttons. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Storage
When not in use, store the headset in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on the headset to prevent damage. Proper storage helps prolong the lifespan of the ear cushions and internal components.
Troubleshooting
- No Audio/Low Volume: Ensure the 3.5mm audio jack is fully inserted into both the headset and the device. Check the volume controls on the headset and your connected device. Verify that the correct audio output device is selected in your system settings (for PC/Mac).
- Microphone Not Working: Ensure the microphone is fully extended and not muted. Check your device's audio settings to confirm the headset microphone is selected as the input device. For Xbox One, ensure you have the necessary Microsoft Adapter if your controller does not have a 3.5mm port with full microphone support.
- RGB Lighting Not Working: Confirm that the USB cable is securely connected to a powered USB port. If connected to a console, ensure the console is powered on.
- Headset Not Recognized by Console (PS4/Xbox): Ensure the 3.5mm jack is firmly connected to the controller. Some older Xbox One controllers may require the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter for full functionality.
- Ear Cushions Showing Wear: Over time, ear cushions may show signs of wear. While designed for durability, prolonged heavy use can affect their appearance. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help mitigate this.
