Setup Guide
Follow these steps to set up your Corsair HS50 Pro headset:
- Connect the Microphone: Insert the detachable unidirectional microphone into the microphone port located on the left ear cup. Ensure it is firmly seated.
- Connect to Your Device:
- For devices with a single 3.5mm combined audio/microphone jack (e.g., PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, mobile devices), plug the headset's 3.5mm connector directly into the device's audio jack.
- For PCs with separate audio (green) and microphone (pink) jacks, use the included Y-cable splitter. Plug the headset into the splitter, then plug the splitter's green connector into your PC's audio output and the pink connector into your PC's microphone input.
- Adjust the Fit: Extend or retract the headband to ensure the ear cups sit comfortably over your ears. The ear cups are adjustable to provide a snug fit.
- Position the Microphone: Bend the flexible microphone boom to position the microphone approximately 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) from your mouth for optimal voice clarity.
