Getting Started
Bluetooth Connectivity: Connect to your mobile device or other Bluetooth-compatible products to receive phone calls and listen to music or other content.
3.5mm Audio Jack Connectivity: Connect to console controllers or other compatible devices. Important: The included 3.5mm cable is directional. Ensure the headset icon on the cable end is correctly oriented before connecting.
PC Connectivity: For optimal performance on PC, use the USB connection. Download the iCUE software from corsair.com/support/downloads to unlock the full feature set. Install iCUE on a PC running Windows 10 or later, reboot, and launch the software to customize audio equalizer (EQ) settings and adjust microphone input volume and sidetone.
Note: Prolonged listening at high volumes may adversely affect your hearing. Take breaks between sessions and always begin with the volume at the lowest possible level before increasing.
Charging the Headset
Important: The HS70 BLUETOOTH headset must be fully charged before its first use.
Connect the USB charging cable to a working USB port on your PC and then to the headset.
The HS70 BLUETOOTH headset battery has no "memory effect," meaning it does not need to be fully discharged before recharging. The lithium-ion battery supports hundreds of charge/discharge cycles. Ensure your USB port is USB 2.0 or better.
