Getting Started

Wired Mode

Connect the headset using either the USB or 3.5mm connection. Move the selector to the "Wired" position. USB provides the highest audio quality (up to 24bit/96kHz), while the 3.5mm connection offers broader compatibility with mobile devices and consoles.

Wireless Mode (PC)

Move the selector to the "Wireless" position. Connect the USB transmitter to a USB port on your PC. The headset operates wirelessly up to 60 feet (18.2m) from the transmitter, though obstructions may affect performance. The headset automatically enters sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery.

Wireless Mode (PlayStation)

Connect the USB transmitter to a PS4 or PS5 console. Set "Output to Headphones" to "All Audio" in the PlayStation UI. Maximize the console's headphone volume and then adjust the headset's volume control.

Charging the Headset

Connect the USB charging cable to a USB Type-A port on your PC and the USB Type-C port on the headset. The headset battery does not have a memory effect and can be charged at any time.

Optimizing Wireless Performance
