Setup Guide
The ONIKUMA K8 headset connects via a 3.5mm audio jack and a USB-A connector for LED lighting. Follow these steps to connect your headset to your device:
Connecting to PC:
- If your PC has a single 3.5mm combined audio jack (headphone and microphone), plug the headset's 3.5mm jack directly into it.
- If your PC has separate 3.5mm jacks for audio (green) and microphone (pink), use the included 3.5mm audio splitter cable. Plug the headset's 3.5mm jack into the splitter, then plug the splitter's green plug into your PC's audio output and the pink plug into your PC's microphone input.
- Plug the USB-A connector into an available USB port on your PC to power the LED lights.
Connecting to PlayStation 4:
- Plug the headset's 3.5mm jack into the 3.5mm port on your PS4 controller.
- Go to PS4 Settings > Devices > Audio Devices.
- Set "Output to Headphones" to "All Audio".
- Adjust "Volume Control (Headphones)" to your desired level.
- The USB connection is not required for audio on PS4, but can be used for LED lighting if a USB port is available on the console or a powered USB hub.
Connecting to Xbox One:
- For Xbox One controllers with a 3.5mm jack, plug the headset's 3.5mm jack directly into the controller.
- For older Xbox One controllers without a 3.5mm jack, an Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter (sold separately) is required. Plug the headset into the adapter, then plug the adapter into the controller.
- The USB connection is not required for audio on Xbox One, but can be used for LED lighting if a USB port is available on the console or a powered USB hub.
Connecting to Tablet/Laptop:
- Plug the headset's 3.5mm jack into the 3.5mm audio port on your tablet or laptop.
- Plug the USB-A connector into an available USB port for LED lighting.
