- macOS: Go to 'System Preferences' > 'Sound'. Select 'Fantech Aurora HG29' for both 'Output' and 'Input'.
- Gaming Consoles: Ensure the headset is recognized and selected as the audio output and input device in the console's system settings.
3. Microphone Setup
Adjust the flexible microphone boom to a comfortable position near your mouth. Ensure the microphone is not muted in your system settings or via any inline controls on the headset cable.
Operating Instructions
1. Volume Control
The headset features an inline volume control wheel on the cable. Rotate the wheel up to increase volume and down to decrease volume. Adjust to a comfortable listening level.

3. RGB Lighting
The headset features automatic RGB lighting. Once connected via USB, the RGB lights on the earcups will illuminate. There are no specific controls for the RGB lighting on the headset itself; it operates automatically.
4. Headset Adjustment
Adjust the headband to fit comfortably on your head. The earcups are designed to sit over your ears for optimal sound isolation and comfort during extended use.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
- Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the earcups and headband.
- For ear cushions made of leather or memory foam, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure they are completely dry before use.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the headset's finish and materials.
2. Storage
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 to the headband or earcups. Coil the cable loosely to prevent kinks and damage.
3. Cable Care
Avoid pulling the cable forcefully or bending it sharply, especially near the connectors. This can lead to internal wire damage and intermittent connectivity issues.
