Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the headset is fully charged via the included USB-C cable. For wireless use, plug the 2.4 GHz dongle into your PC or console's USB port; the headset should pair automatically. If utilizing Bluetooth, hold the pairing button on the headset until the indicator flashes to connect to your mobile device or laptop.
Compatibility is broad, supporting Windows, Mac, Android, and various console platforms via the 3.5 mm jack. To maintain the headset, store it in a cool, dry place. Regularly wipe the PU leather ear pads with a soft, slightly damp cloth to prevent sweat buildup, and inspect the detachable microphone port for debris to ensure a solid connection.
