Setup

Charging the Headset

Before initial use, fully charge the headset. Connect the supplied USB-C charge cable to the headset's USB-C port and the other end to a powered USB-A port (e.g., on your console, PC, or a wall adapter).

A full charge provides up to 100 hours of 2.4 GHz wireless use (with lighting off) or up to 150 hours via Bluetooth (with lighting off). RGB lighting reduces battery life to approximately 23 hours.
