Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible Solution
No sound from headset.
  • Ensure the headset is powered on and charged.
  • Check the volume level on both the headset and your connected device.
  • Verify the correct connection mode (2.4GHz, Bluetooth, or Wired) is selected and properly established.
  • For 2.4GHz, ensure the USB dongle is securely plugged in and recognized by your device.
  • For Bluetooth, ensure the headset is paired and connected in your device's Bluetooth settings.
  • For wired, ensure the 3.5mm or USB-C cable is fully inserted into both the headset and the device.
Microphone not working.
  • Ensure the microphone is securely attached to the headset.
  • Check if the microphone mute button on the headset is disengaged.
  • Verify that the Redragon H858 is selected as the input device in your computer's sound settings or console's audio settings.
  • Test the microphone in another application or device.
Headset disconnects frequently (2.4GHz/Bluetooth).
  • Ensure the headset is within the operating range of your device (up to 49 feet for 2.4GHz).
  • Minimize interference from other wireless devices (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, other Bluetooth devices).

The headset is designed to operate in specific modes. Connecting a 3.5mm adapter to the USB-C port is not a standard operational mode and may cause unexpected behavior.
