Usage

Usage (PC)

To connect the headset to a computer (or other device) with both a headphone jack and a microphone jack, use the included PC extension cable. Connect the headset's 3.5mm plug to the female jack on the PC extension cable. Then plug the two 3.5mm jacks of the extension cable into the corresponding audio jack (green) and voice jack (red) on the PC. If you only need audio, you can plug the main 3.5mm port directly into the headphone input.

Plug the USB jack into your computer to enable the RGB flowing light.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: The microphone is not working.

Answer:

Please ensure the 3.5mm headset jack is fully plugged into the audio jack on your gaming devices and that the microphone is not muted. Try unplugging and replugging it.
Check the audio settings and console version. Ensure your controller's system software is up to date.
For PS4™ user: Follow these steps: Go to Settings >> Devices >> Audio Devices >> Output to Headphones >> All Audio >> Turn on 'Switch Output Device Automatically'.
For Xbox One™ user: Go to Settings >> Turn on the 'Headset mic' >> Increase all audio settings. If experiencing no gameplay sounds or party chat: Navigate Home -> Settings -> Audio -> Headset chat mixer. Reduce the setting slightly if it is set fully to the 'human icon' (indicating party chat only).
For Nintendo Switch™ user: Go to Settings and turn on 'Voice Chat', ensuring your game supports Audio Chat.
For PC user: Please ensure the audio cable adapter is connected to the headset. Open 'Control Panel' >> 'Hardware and Sound' >> 'Sound'. Right-click on the headset option and select 'Set as Default Device'.
If the microphone works on your cellphone/tablet, the issue may be with your gaming platform's audio settings. Check your device's specific instructions or contact the manufacturer.
