FAQs

Does this headset require any software drivers?

No, the headset is fully plug-and-play and works immediately upon connection to a 3.5mm port.

Can I use this with my smartphone?

Yes, as long as your smartphone has a 3.5mm headphone jack or you are using a certified 3.5mm-to-USB-C or Lightning adapter.

What is the purpose of the 94dB limiter?

The limiter prevents the volume from exceeding 94 decibels to help protect against hearing loss, which is especially important for young users.

Is the microphone removable?

No, the microphone is integrated into the headset, but it can be rotated 270 degrees to be moved out of the way when not in use.

What is the warranty period?

The product includes a one-year warranty provided by Kensington.

Troubleshooting

No audio output heard

Ensure the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted into the audio port and verify that your computer sound settings are set to the external headset.

Microphone not picking up sound

Check that the in-line mute switch is not set to 'mute' and ensure the microphone is positioned close to your mouth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
